TIE BLoCKApE OF HIGs SrsERF.-Several
DAYS since barriers were placed on the
north side Of Bridge street across High
street and since that time vehicles OF all kinds
going north and south on the Ia-t-namad street
have been compelled TO turn several squares out
of their way on account OF tue obstruction. The
merchants and Others on High street above
BrifSe have suffered and are daily suffering
considerable loss from the ho9ka he OF the street.
and IL IS suggested that the barriers might BE-
removed and the bank at Bridge street slOpcd
on tor htteen or twenty feet. in order TO accom-
modate travel until such time as the contractor
Is eady to proceed with his work. The business
men on the sheet are not the only sufferers by
the blockade, but numbers OF country people
who formerly came to market with their truck
by this street are seriously iBcommoded. as they
come down High 10 Bridge street and then have
t. turn back again.

turret was penetrated several inches, but the
shot remained embedded in the armor. A hole
OF about eighteen inches in diameter was made
In the outer plate, and the plate itself
was lifted some two and a half inches-
the adjoining plate being more or less
started. In the inside OF the turret a
large bolt had been forced Off and shot across
the compartment on to the trunnion OF the
furthest gun, two of the inside plate had been

the turret, were found to be alive after the
firing of the shot. The inside frame and lining
had been broken, and lower down a piece OF
angle iron had been broken and nearly damned

also very simple, and Is effected by reversal
OF the method of type setting. 1t is stated
that boy, by the aid of this machine, can dis
tribute just a little faster than the best skilled
type setter. This new labor-saying invention
has been examined by the most competent
Judges, and pronounced to be very nearly per
feet. The best possible proof OF this is afforded
by the fact that two OF these machines are
now in constant and satisfactory operation in
the London Times office. II is said to be
intended to set up and distribute the erSIre
paper by the sole agency of machinery
II this can be effected, it will DO much 10
bring the new machines into operation and
effect complete revolution in printing. Much
however, will depend upon the price at which
the new machines can be placed in the market
1t is indispensable that the interest of the caDi-
tai invested in them should be less than the
wages of the skilled wOrkmen whose labor is
dispensed with. With this condition secured
there is nothing to prevent them from coming
into general use, with the result of cheapeninS
books and newspapers, and bringing the IN more
than ever before within the means of the mil
lion.
