the stock of the above company met to
effect a permanent organization by q
call from the incorporators who have
obtained charter from the Secretary
of State under the general law.
While forming the company and during
the necessary delay imposed by the law
the subscribers have been diligently at
tending to the duties assigned them and
have thereby materially advanced the
interests OF The company; their acts
will undoubtedly be fully endorsed By
the company upon It's organization,
The committee have negotiated for the
Phillips founGry and machine prop

Mr.. Davis Las jos, returned rom a
tour East where he spent $50 weeks
among the manufacturers oil these ma
chimes, making himeeli familiar with
the details OF their construction as well
as familiaIizirg himself with their
workings by hand, horse ard steam
application. lie brings very favorable
reports OF his investigations srd tbeir
results.
In additional testimony c! the favor
with which these machines are regard
ed, we publish g letter from Ex"Gov.

made an examination Of them and wit
messed them in operation. lie epeaks
very decidedly Of their merits.

Mtsars. Smith d Co,
DEAR SlRs In answer &c your qnes
ton, What 30 you think Of tue Cen
| tripetal power machinery no" Oh cShl
bilion in WheelIug?' Alter the beat
examination was able % give it, | was
lsvorably Impressed with it 1t looks
to me as If this new application Q, power
wss going to prove the greatest labor
saving machinery yet offered to the
public. 4 man with ease performs the
work required Ivy 4 horse in ordinary
machinery, aud horse that o! al eight
! or ten horse power engine. | do not
know wIether this machinery will be
introduced into large manufacturing es-
tabishments to save steRn power, nor is
it material. The object OF the inventors
is TO &ssist tie farmer in hIe work Of
threshlng, grinding his food for stock,
cutting fodder, straw, tnrnlpa and o.her
root. Tor food, shelling corn, saving
wood, makipg c;d4r, &c Th.z ma-
chinery will be of great value 10 the
carpenter and worker q wood OF all
kinds. With the hand machine lie can
do most OF the work that he now does
with an engine and for heavier work,
one horse will furnish power 20 plane
az fast IS a tS0 horse cos.ue. DO not
rec why this machinery should not be
used for manufacturing the timber Of
our forests Tor many uses. It will
sew shin2les. ! see no reason why it
should not not be used for turning axe
and pick haUdlep, wagon spokes, etc.
Two men can lit it into a one>horse
wagon, which will carry every
thing about il on an ordinary
country road. No time lest or
expense in putting up. The whole
machine, l should think, would not
cost more than the chimney and fire
and water apparatus ofan engine. The
farmer will thresh from fifty TO seventy
bushels OF grain per day by hand, and
with horse power four hundred, al less
than one-half the expense OF the crdI-
nary machines Row IN use. IL ieSVes
the straw straight to bind into sheaves,
and does not break the grain in thresh
irg. But one of the great recomuen-
dations Of this machinery is the dis
patch with which it performs its work.
These statements look incredible, |
grant IL; but they can only be realized
by seeing the machinery at work. It l.
asked how is il done? | answer Elm.
ply by applying power so as to avoid
sill the friction possible. ] 10 lot see
Why the machines vlll no. e g CON-
plete success.
