has something like twenty families under its
charge. Its treasury is about empty and it
ueeds replenishing. They propose to do this
by giving five entertainments, each of which
will be worth halt dollar, and yet charge
only one dollar for the five. Our citizens
I should take these tickets literally, and thus
afford the aid needed for the suffering widows
and orphans of those who fell in defence of
their country.

TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL GENIUs.-Yester-
day we had the pleasure of witnessing the
operations of mechanical invention that
rivals the mythical "steam-man" of Newark.
There may be seen at Melcher s. Co.'s mill on
West Commercial street, ma chine which
upon being presented in proper way with
block of suitable wood, splits it into shin lies,
and Immediately shaves and joints them. All
this is done at the rate of $4,000 shingles in ten
hours The stick used at the time of our visit
was green cedar posts, sawed into blocks of
suitable lengh. Though this material was
the worst possible for testing the efficiency of
the machine, yet even under these unfavorable
circumstances, the result was all that could be
desired. This invention, which reduces manual
labor to minimum, and by nice adjustment
of mechanical forces works seeming miracles.
is the Rochester Riving, Shaving and Joint
ing Shingle Machine" 1t will work all wood
that can be worked by hand, and much that
cannot, either hard or soft timber, and make a
superior single. Three horse power will drive
it to its utmost capacity, and is easily applied.
1t is substantially built of iron and steel; re-
quires for ground room but thirty inches wide
by ten feet long, and weighs only $500 pounds.
The shingles made by this machine are similar.
but superior to those made by hand CIR.
