SOMETHING WORTHY OF ATrESTIoN.-Afr.
A. L. Champion, who is now in this city, is
agent for "Hutchinson's Excelsior Head
Turner" ior the manufacture of Barrel
Heads. This machine, which is little
wonder in its way, is capable of turning out
four perfect barrel heads In one minute. 1t
occupies a space of but two feet square, and
can be controlled perfectly by boy dozen
years old. The invention was exhibited at
the Fair Of the Franklin Institute at syra-
cuse in February, 1850, where it obtained
silver medal; and also at the State Fair at
Elmira, when it took first prem ium. The
salt manufacturers at Syracuse and Salina
are making extensive use of it in their bar
rel factories, and consider it almost inYalu-
able. Mr.. Champion has established de-
pot at Lattimer's Planning Mil, No. 60 Cen
tire street, near Hewitt Block, and we would
advise all interested to call and examine for
themselves. Oil men, particularly, who
find it difficult to obtain supply Of barrels
would undoubtedly discover it much to their
advantage to procure machine capable of
work with the rapidity Of
this "Head Turner"

CLEVELAND SHIP BuuDING.-An hour or
two spent among the Ship Carpenters along
the bank of the Old River Bed, will convince
any one that the coming season is to witness
! alarge increase in business upon the water.
All the yards are employing an unusual
force of laborers, and contracts are being
made for vessels the work upon which will
extend far into the summer months. The
reputation of our Cleveland mechanics is
surpassed by that Of no other ship-builders,
as the high commentator which has been
best owed upon their work, and the extent of
the orders which are received from abroad
will estify.
We went down yesterday for the purpose
of obtaining some information of what is be-
ing done ia this line, and the followingis is the
result:
STEPHENS & PREsLEY, the proprietors of
the Marine Railway. are engaged in exten-
sive repairing and rebuilding of the prOpel-
lers belonging to the Northern Transports
ton Company and to the New York and Erie
Railroad Line. Besides blacksmiths, spar
makers, &c, they employ 50 men. Their
contracts embrace the following craft The
propellers Owego, Cleveland, New York,
Portsmouth, jefferson, Ontario, Vermont,
Akron, Wisconsin, Gov. Cushman, Mendoza,
the schoOners Badger State, Middlesex and
several smaller vessels. Much of the repair
ing is very heavy.
QUAYLE & MARTIN have in process Of con-
struction schooner of 400 tons for Geo. w..
Bissell of Buffalo; propeller of Ss5 tons for
the Northern transportation Company; a
schooner of 400 tons for r. H. Harmon and
Quayle & Martin; and a barque of 475 tons
for Capt. Perew of Buffalo. The frame is
also being got out for schooner of the same
tonnage, which will be completed in July.
The firm are also repairing the propeller
Bradbury to the amount of about 81, 800.
PECK & 8TAsEERz hHve on the stocks three
three-masted schooners for Lockwood & Kin
ney of Buffalo. These are each about 44O
tons burthen, and are nearly completed one
will probably be launched to-day. They are
to be named respectively the " City of Buff
falo," "City of Milwaukee" and " City OF
Detroit" Also, schooner, the /" Colorado .
a three master, of over 500 tons burthen, for
8. V. R. Watson, of Detroit. Alse, tug Of
900 tons for River st. Clair business.
They have under contract a propeller Of
400 tons for John T. Whitney, in which will
be placed ttbe engines of the propeller De-
trOit. This b aat is designed for the Lake su-
perior trade. l'eck & Masters employ 12t
hands exclusive Of blacksmiths, spar-mak-
ers, and the like.
IRA LAER1x1ER has three fine schooners on
the stocks of about 400 tons each. He hal
also a contract with firm in Boston for {
lighter of $50 tons, WHICH is to be sent t.
Galveston.
JOHNSON & T1sDALE are largely engaged il
repairs of a similar nature to those in pro
gress at the yard OF Stephens & Presley.

A HEAVY swINDLR.-The business men Of
Cincinnati and Cleveland seem 70 be partlo-
ularly unfortunate in being caught by the
swindlers and rascals who infest the country.
Two or three weeks ago fellow well dressed
and impndent, with some money and more
dishonesty, arrived in this city and took
rooms ut a hotel. He next called upon oar
business men, for the most part wholesale
and "family" groceries, where ne represent-
ed himself as o "brother-ehlp,' except on
scale much more extensive than any house
hero. His card read, ''James E. Champion
& Co, Wholesale (no retail) Grocers and
Commission Merchants, Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Cleveland, Ohio" The extremely low
prices at which he was able 10 fill orders for
goods, being several per cent. less than the
market price, induced many Of our business
men to patronize him. The next move OF
Champion & Co. was to procure the articles
ordered He sent TO a Cincinnati, and also
to a Cleveland banking house small sums Of
money, say $500 or S4OO to each, and then
ordered of various wholesale firms IN those
cities, goods sufficient to supply his Colum-
bus customers, referring the parties Of whom
he was purchasing 10 his bankers. OF course
upon INQUIRY at the banks the merchants
were informed that Messrs. Champion Il Co.
were depositors with them, which it would
seem was sufficient recommendation for the
goods came on in immense quantities, TO
what exact amount is not known, probably
thousands Of dollars. They were delivered
overto the various houses which had ordered
-Messrs. C. & Co. pocketed the money
drew their deposits from the Cincinnati and
Cleveland bankers-and made tracks. The
only firm which has recovered anything
from the firm of Champion & Co. is that Of
Stem, Trenchard & Co., whc, employing
counsel, were sharp enough to find at the
depot a large quantities of sacks marked
James E. Champion & Co., which were i'm
mediately seized, and an attachment issued
