......T The Haverhvill Publisher gives an
account of steam shoe factory in that place,
for sewing the seams and pegging Shoes !
The machinery is all worked by small
FIVE horse power engine. In the basement {
of the building are the machines for cutting,
stripping, rolling and shaping the soles.-
These are then passed to the story above, s
where the shoes are lasted, and the outer '
soles tackled on by hand, which process l
prepares them for pegging. The pegging 7
machines are simple in their construction
audsmode of operation, but perform the I
work with great despatch and accuracy,
driving pegs at the rate Of fourteen Sc '
cond. One of the most curious operations a
ofthe machine is the manner in which it
manufactures the peg for its own use. A
strip wood of the required width, and =
neatlyla in coil one hundred feet in I
length, is put into the machine, and at
every revolution it is moved forward, and Z
peg cut off and driven into the shoe +
The rapidity and uuerriug accuracy with v
which these machines perform their work $
is truly astonishing. After being pegged, 4
the shoes are passed up to the third story, G
where the bottoms are smoothed, secured t
and brushed. The fourth story is occupied /
by the stitching machines, tended by fe- c
males, but run by steam, which saves a L
laborious and fatiguing operation.

last, of DR.. J. E. E. Ealing, recently ar a

Society Of the District of Columbia, which
disallows persons from abroad to practice
medicine or surgery in the District, unless
such. persons have received diploma to v
that effect from some recognized medical 5
school here or elsewhere. The case was a
brought before Justice Meyer, on Eighth o
street. One of the witnesses in the case C
was DR.. j. F. May, who identified Dr. Eal- v
ing, alias Elliot, as person who last winter
operated in Nashville, Tennessee, as corn r
cutter and extirpator of bunions and excres- F
cences from the feet ). that was the whole Fl
height and extent of his pretensious in v
Nashville. During the short time he has o
been in Washington, great numbers of per- b
sons of every condition in life had applied d
to him, and large sums of money-in one a
case FIVE hundred dollars-had been paid t
for pretended cures. In answer to a ques- {
tion put directly to the defendant by DR..
May, as to whether he was not the same
person who operated as corn extractor,
&c., DR.. Ealing for some time hesitsted,
but at length answered, "perhaps l an." :"
