DnLoN's UNIVERSAL Wnouaur IRoN TIE ron
BALRa CoTToN, promises dcscrycdly to tako tho
precedence OF NIL recent inventions for tho
economical packing Of cotton. II is far superior
to oil similar cxpcdicnts, innamuch as it's hoops
bear oyonly atrosB its whole width, thus taking
advantage OF the whole strength Of thu iron, and
az thero are no thin edges sharp corners in the
tic TO cut tho hoops. Cut ties and perforated
hoops require heavy iron to countcrbalnnco tho
consequent loss Of strength, as lhoy aro liable to
break, cut, or tear out. With the "Uniyersal Tic"
hoop is furnished, which, when lilo band is COM
plete, weighs no moro thDn tho usual rope, thus
avoiding allowance Of from two to tl,reo pounds
(as is now the custom in New York; OIL each six
banded bales, for excess OF iron over average
woight OF rope. By ita use planters onn avoid
losses OF cotton which result from broken bales,
and henyy bills for merding which result from inn
perfect tios and missing ropes. Tho inventor haa
hnd thirty six years practical experience in mend
ing, packing, baling, and comprcssing cotton,
both in New York and nt the tsouth, and in tho
absen Of tic adapted to tho wants of tho pla,,-
tor and compressor alike has invented this, which
we predict will, by it's economy and efficiency,
grow into general use. Mr.. Wa. Roach is tho
agent Of this important invention in this city.
New sonooL HOUSE FOR THE CoLonED PEo-
P1s.-Ths interest shown by the colorcd people in
tho subject of education, has been so great TINT
additional facilities bovc from timo to time, been
granted them bpt their thirst for knowledge
seems uncomfortable. Under these circumstances
1t has been thought best to educate somo of tho
moro advanced scholars for teachers, unl tho
American Missionary Association hayo furnished
tho funds for tho construction of Normal School
House. site on the Western end of Bull street,
near tho river, hns boen chosen, and contractors
nrs invited to precent their estimates for tho orcc-
ton Of the building. Through the kindness Of tho
Assistant Quartermaster, Col. JAS. p. Low, we
have been enabled to examine tho proposed plan
OF tho building.
The building will rest Oh arches aud will DO two
stories in height, surmountod by o cupola, md
will have accommodations for four hundred pu-
pills. Tho basement will bo used as pInyroom
during wet weather, and will contain apartments
for tho Jnnitor, wash rooms &c. On tho first floor
will bo ak class rooms, tho Principals office, and
rooms for the necessary apparatus. Tho second
floor will also contain class rooms apartments for
the teachers, and largo assembly hall, 55 by AZ.
The stairways to tho building will oil be on tile
exterior, leaving the floors clear. Every caro- has
been taken to combine oil tho modern improve
monts OF Light and ventilation, and when compile
ted the school house will not only be model but
an ornament to tho city. 1t is expected that IL
will bo ready for occupation by tho first OF Novem-
ber Tho Rev. F. J.. Cardoza, at prcsout tho Prin-
cpal Of tho Colored school at tho Military Hall,
will BIO the Principal.
