STRUCK IT AGAIN.-Dr. e. 0.
Smith, of this city, has "struck it
rlch' again. He has jlst received a
patent on an improvement in augers.
This invention consists in providing
the cutting part of the augur or bit
with % circular cutting band or fange,
in connection with a suitable cutting
lip, the band and lip being located
nearly in the same horizontal plane.
The advantages of this peculiar con-
struction is very marked. The circu-
lar band serves to guide the bit accu-
rately in it's movement, and also give
the hole that is bored, a smooth and
perfect finish. By its employment the
gimlet point of the old fashioned au-
ged is dispensed with, and as the cut
ting lips do not project beyond its hor-
izontal plane, it follows that the wood
is not cut beyond the line operated up
on by the circular cutting edge of the
band, and it also has no tendency to
split the wood or follow the grain.
The DIR. has already received an offer
of $1,000 for the patent, but it would
be foolish to accept it, as this inven-
tion is sure to meet with unbounded
success, being something that Is need
ed bysevery carpenter, cabinet-maker,
or any person whose business 1t is to
work in wood. We are glad to hear OF
our townsman's success, but we were
not surprised.
ENTERPRIsING.-M Beach d
Monteith, of this city, Rave chartered
the British ship Ar6utttS, and are now
engaged in loading it at Portland, for
Great Britain. The cargo will mostly
consist of flour, manufactured by the
above company in Albany, and which
for quality cannot be excelled any
where. Not having quite enough -four
to load the vessel, the agent has con-
sented to take a mixed cargo of flour
and wheat. The wheat intended to
complete the cargo is the cleanest lot
we have seen for a good while, and
will be an honor to our valley, as il
will no doubt rank among the finest
shipped to that part of the globe. The
Arbutus is British ship Of 500 tons
burthen, and belongs to the Dundee
and Oregon Shipping Co., of which
Mr.. Reid, of Portland, is agent. As
soon as the loading of the vessel is
completed, which will be in a fe"
days, she will Immediately sail fol
Cork for orders. The Elkins Bros o.
Lebanon, have made arrangements
with Beach & Monteith so that they
are enabled to ship in the same yesse
about 400 or 500 bbls of -four.
A NxRRow EscAPE.--A couple o
carpenters engaged in weatherboardinl
Parker g. Morris's warehouse had
narrow escape from death last Monday
They were at work on some scattoldlnt
about rs feet from the ground when i
in some manner became disengage'
from the building and all fell to tn
ground with the exception of one up
right piece. One man who happena'
to be close to a window, by good iucl
got hold of the sill with his hand
and made his way into the top of tn
warehouse, while the other manages
to get hold of the upright piece tina
didn't fall, and after the crash, "coon
edp his way down to terra frDld.
LARGE Hop YIELD.-The Kanol
Bros, of Lape county, have this yea
raised on thirteen acres of ground L,
500 pounds OF hops, which they sol
for s., ,430. The expense Of harvestin
the hops was about $500, leaving ther
a clear profit Of $3.50 for their sum
mer's work. This being the first Gro
on the Land, it yielded only littl
over half as much as it will in the fl
ture. 1t seems by this that all th
money in this State is not in whea
These gentlemen will give all the iT
formation in their power to auy Perso
wishing to engage 10 hop culture.
