occurred in New York, a few estates paid
sixty per cent. to creditors, but large

AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. To the rapid strides
Of American inventive genius is to be greatly
ascribed our leading position among the great
producing nations Of the earth. Where labor
IN all departments is so well paid, it is neces-
siry to call in improved machinery as an auxil-
iary, in order TO compete with the cheap labor
Of foreign countries. Without our moving,
rcapng and threshing machines, and other i'm
proved agricultural implements, the vast West
crn country woull be slowly developed. and
both hem-pheres would miss a large portion
Of or present immense cereal crop. So 10
other industries, and in all mechanic arts, the
work Of the inventor simpihcs the labor OF
production and multiples the products Of in
dustry many fold. The increase in the business
of the United States Patent Office. within a
few years, shows thcexhaustless Ingenuity that
Is being constantly concentrated upon the elm
nation Of ideas that shall meet the popular
want with articles Of use and ornament, at
prices within the reach of all.
Inventors often fail of securing patent for
really valuable articles through exercising too
little care in the selection Of Il solicitor to
transact their business with the Patent Office
and many are put to much needless expense in
striving to secure letters patent for articles or
designs either unpatentabe in their nature OF
merely resuscitntions of something heretofore
patented Mr. r. II. Eddy of Boston, whose
card appears in our paper TO day, is thoroughy
cOnyersant with all details necessary to speedily
procure foreign and American patents, while
bis experience and success for more than thirty
years 10 the business give him the confidence
Of all Those wishing to file caveats, procure
patents, extensions, or secure trademarks anc
designs, will do well to avail themselves of hi,
