The Hess Dry.pro.s Brick mnchine.

The Hess Dry-prcss Brick Mnchine.
In company with Our cntcrprIsing
young citizen, Mr.. G. j. Dent, son Of
Colonel Dent, Superintendent of the
street railroad, and one Of the propric-
iors OF the above yard, we made II visit
to the yard, yesterday, and inspected
the workings of this machine.
We were admonlshed before we pro-
cecded to m examination of tho char
acter Of the brick made by this pro-
cess that 80 far II wos simply expert
mental, and that some little time
would be required to bring them up to
the standard which IL attained by this
patent when in perfect working or
der. We admit, therefore, to having
been greatly astonlshed In observing
tic beauty, uniformity and solidity Of
the brick which were turned out, the
rapidity IN moulding them, and the
ease and regularity with which the
work was done, twenty-five TO thirty
thousand of brick being made ut this
yard daily, by n comparatively small
force of Yorkmen
It Ia the opinion of Mr.. Dent that
notwithstanding the already excellent
quality of these bricks, they may set be
improved upon by putting In new pull
vcrI1cr, by which the material VIII
be reduced to greater fnencss, when
will give them more compaclneSS'
Other improvements will also be added,
and Ms the venture has proven per-
fectly practicable one, It's success is
only n question Of time, and with the
sustained energy, nerve and n proper
application OF the ample means ut It's
proprietor's disposal, we shall soon
have one of the most important Indus
trial agents established in our city that
haa ever been introduced In this State.
