r, r1os. B. BoDLEY, OF NEW ORLEANS,
rhe state Fair Association is under pecu-
nv obligations, in furnishing, at only few
aovs notice, the forty-horse power steam
srg,ne ana boiler and shafting now driving
,be machinery on exhibition. The Direc-
,or. were depending on an engine that had
bae1 shipped for this purpose by another
nary. This engine has not yet arrived, and
Int for the kindness and promptness of Mr..
Rodley. the great interest which the machin-
sry department now commands would have
been in a great measure lost.

70 gin-house use. Either portable or sta
,ionaIy boilers are furnished with the en-
zines. We also notice, exhibited by Mr..
Boiley. q twelve-horse engine made ex-
pre ely for driving two gin stands at the

In our ORGANIZATIONS through the main
building, our course was arrested by very
N fine tablcau of cast steel saws got up with
much artistic skill and taste. The high
\ dazzling polish of the various articles frs;
attracted our attention; but on more min
ute inspection ofthe collection we observed
circular saw peculiar in the shape and
form fits teeth. On enquiry we ascertained
Il to be one of Spaulding's Patent Inserted
Teeth Saws. a saw from which the teeth can
be extracted and reinserted at pleasure.
We were informed by Capt. Hoskins, of
BroOkhaven, who has two of these saws in
operation that their capacity to cut ranges
from fifteen to twenty thousand feet oilum-
Der per day, and certainly their yawning
jaws would warrant the assertion. We were
also Informed by him that the freedom with
which they discharge the kerf or saw-dust
lessons the demand for driving power by a
third. 10 the uninitnted, however. the
most potent and palpabe feature of this kind
OF saw, is its great economy, for, as the teeth,
when worn out, can be replaced by new
ones the necessity of a new plate is dispensed
With, the original plate lasting as long as
the mill itself.
lnjuxtaposition with this display, and

but of most exquisite finish.
To make up this beautiful collection every
form d~character of saw was required.
from the sixfoot giant, above described, to
It's tiny bfother of three inches. A unique
concave saw was there the use of which we
know not, the old sash and mulay, race
fast passing away. were there, and every
other description of saw. We also observed
new kind Of cross-cut, with deep circular
Crosses in it, called the Hooked tooth cross
Put This also is a great improvement on
the old style, enabling the operators to cut
fWice as much, in given time, as of old.
We understand that to the inserted tooth
saw premium is awarded, and most WORTH
y so.
These saws were manufactured by Branch,
Crooks & Co., of St. Louis, and were exhib-
tee by their agent from New Orleans,
Fhere at 76 Carondelet street, they are sold.
Ahoir agents, Lee Richardson 81 Co., OF
Fieksburg, have also an ample supply on
