TO ROLLING MILLS
IRON MANUFACTURERS,
AND
Capitalists.
OEEvEIAnp, Jan. 20, ls62.

CLEvELAHD, Jan. 20, 1862.
The subscribers have the New England
and Eastern States for sale, for TaylOr's
Pressed Horse Shoe Patent
Messrs. Stone, Chisholm & Jones, Of this
city, have purchased the Western States,
and have g machine in operation at their
Rolling Mill at Newburgh, where parties
can see 1t produce horse shoes of all sizes,
equal to a hand made shoe. It is simple
in itS construction, and capable Of making
twenty horse shoes per minute. Every
shoe is subjected to pressure Of fifty tons,
which oOmpscts and ooadenses the iron,
thereby rendering il harder and more du-
rable.
This machine can make a shoe Of any
! style or form, simply by changing the die
to the shape required.
We give here a description Of the ma.
chine, and testimonials from the best me-
CbSniCs, blsOksmiths, and dealers in the
city;
The machine is neither complicated nor
ponderous, and is worked by 9 small
amount Of power, judiciously applied
Horse shoe iron, such Rs is used by black
smiths in forging horse shoes, is employed.
The machine is worked by q man and q
boy, the latter to attend to the furnace in
which the bsrs Of iron are heated, and the
former to feed the machine. At the mo-
ment the bar Of iron, heated to a red heat
at the end, is thrust into the machine,
gate or jaw, moved up and down by an CO.
centric, desoends on the bar, bending it 10
proper shape over horizontal shaft, called
"msndrill," about three inches in diane.
ter, which is thrust forward at that mo
ment by q cam movement At the same
time the bar is cut and 8 die carried
against the shoe by an eccentric working
in yoke, produces the crease and stamp
ing on the face Of the shoe, when the man
drill draws back and the shoe drops from
the machine complete. The die weighs
about twelve pounds, and is furnished with
knife for oreasing and punching. The
knife is attached by means Of screws, ami
can be readily removed when worn out to
give place to new one.
There have been several machines in
vented before for manufacturing horse shoes,
but ell more or less complicated and i'm
perfect TsylOr's machine is the only one
that cuts the iron, bends the shoe, stamps
and oreases it at one revolution Of the ma
chine, and this is accomplished with COM
mon horse shoe bars, just as they are re-
ceived from the Rolling Mill. For further
evidence Of the practical excellence of the
machine and superiority of the shoe which
it produces, We annex the following testi-
moniAls:

TIE FAoIIFE GUE.-Mr. ". h. Fargo, of
this city, who hes been experimenting for
several months upon the forms, proportions
and force of the many different guns in use,
has ct length invented riAed gun to which
he gives the name Of the Facilite Cur, ,distin-
yuisbed for the remarkable ease with which
Il ma be operated, and the extreme sim
pIioitv of Is construction. It is designed
for both field and fortifcstiOn use, and is
calculated to throw solid shot, shell, grape
or canister. The peculiar merits elsimed
for it are the superior mode Of combining
metals in its manufacture, and the rspidity
and safety with which it is loaded and dis
charged. It is breech loading, the whole
breeeh being elevated or depressed by a
oIsYis, to allow the charge TO be inserted in
the chamber. The breech being returned
to its place, e simple turn Of crank con-
fines it in its place, and at the same time
ellis the rear Of the ehsmber with closely
fitting pin or plug. The gun is made very
heavy and strong at and about ths space oc-
cupied by the charge, the remainder 70 the
muzzle being small and somewhat like the
Parrot gun. The gun is 50 prOPOrtiOned
that its Weights about two hundred times
that of the projeetile, thus prevent
ing any recoil upon discharge. Of the Pc
culiar construction of the barrel we are not
ct liberty to speak, save to say that it is sP-
parently, the very strongest that could be
made. The ball being inserted at the
breech, can be made to fit closer than if
put in at the muzzle, and an expansive por-
ten of it fills the grooves Of the rihed bore.
The gun has been very satisfactorily test
cd already, but further tests will be made
in few days, when we may have some
thing further to say of what, at present,
promises to be one of the most svsilable
and Important inventions which Ghe wal
has produced.

HAuL OF ALLHaED BURGLARS AID EHER
oEYEDEEATEB.-sOmetim during Monday
night, the Flour and Feed Store Of Christie
pher Andrews, on Ontario street, was bur
glariouSly entered, and about five dollars in
pennies and clock taken. On the same
night, efHcers Frank and Mcintyre observed
through window three or four men in q
negro dive on Union Lane, kept by John
Griffin, buSily engaged in counting over q
considerable number Of pennies, and though
at this time nothing was known 10 them Of
the burglary, the presence Of such quanti-
ty OF pennies excited their suspicion. Tues
day morning the facts Of the burglary be-
came known to them, and it Immediately
seen the night previous were the burglars.
Accordingly they set 10 work Tuesday TO
find their whereabouts, which they did not
succeed in sscertaining till about 1 o'clock
Wednesday morning, when they discovered
them in place on the Flats kept by a ne
gro. summoning to their assistance officers
Schmitt, Roth and Nix, they made a des-
cent upon the place and arrested the three
men, who gave their names as James STAN
baugh, VIM. Thompson, and John johnson,
(all eolOred } and hailing from Buffalo with
in few days. After these had been Gagged
the officers returned and arrested John Grif
fin, James Dixon, Isaac Williams and Sam
Faulkner, doubtless cOnfederatss Of those
first taken into custody, and locked them
up upon a charge of receiving stolen prop
erty. But little of value that appeared to
have been stolen was found in the houses at
which these men were taken. A shawl tax
en- at Grifin's was identified by a man liv-
ing on River street, and Mr.. Andrews iden-
tilted number of the pennies taken from
the three men charged with the burglary, as
having been taken from his drawer. Sew
ersl pounds of stearine candles were seized
by the officers at one Of the houses, but have
not yet been claimed. The alleged burglars
and we think there can be no doubt Of
their guilt-are in jail, the others at the PO-
lice Station. Their cases will be heard on
Friday. These fellows had doubtless come
here with great hopes, and We consider it
most fortunate that their designs have been
thus early blasted.

Artillery, Col. Barnett, at 1S7 Weddell Block,

we say that this is the finest regirn ent of ar
tilIery in the service, and nonehas done more
to its own homer and the good Of the cause.
Every officer in IL ia g soldier and q gentle
man. for only such can have place
with Colonel Barnett, SO that evory
guarantees far as these qualities are
concerned, is given 70 the soldier for his care
and good treatment. The Batteries of the reg
iment are gradually moving into the field,
and occupying advanced positions, SO that
those who may enroll their names need not
feel troubled BY prospect of 3 weary siege
in camp. The regiment is also most splen-
didly equipped. We are not informed how
many chances are yet open to join this
regiment, which is the pride of all Ohioans,
but we suspect they are few, and the young
man who would distinguish himself in the
work Of his country's salvation had better
not pfoerastinate.
