We dropped in, at Spence, Baggs & Co.'S
foundry yesterday, where We were shown
an improved fire CRATE, which they are
manufacturing, and which deserves more
than passing notice. It is called
Rotary Basket Crate, and is certainly
great improvement over anything We
have ever seen. BY movement Of the
common poker as lever the dead ashes
are shaken out; and being baSket-shaped
at each end as well as front and rear, u
does not allow Of an accumulaliono Of half
burned coal and ashes, while the superior
ventilation causes the FIRE to burn glow
ingly without any punching with poker.
The coal not being disturbed, it all burns
into fine ashes, which prohibits the for
Emation OF clinkers or cinders; and when
II il desired TO close up the fire place
with the summer heat, this Is done by re-
yolying the basket sOne-tourth, when it
clears itself Of all the remaining ashes
and the front part tits back into the fire
place, where il remains until it is desired
TO start fire again. j. B, Williams, OF
this place, and ]. 7. Baggs, Of Bridgeport,
are the inventors, and we understand that
they have applied for patent on It.
There will be meeting tonight in the
U. p. Church to see what can be done for

| Will Wood last week resigned his sit
uation as agent Of the Q. & p. Railroad at
Ithis place, lie has been connected with
the road for several years, and was very
efficient officer. Win. DilworIh has been
appointed as his successor for the pres
Ont. The railroad authorities have made
a good choice, for Win, Is very exem-
plary young man, and we hope his ap.
pOintment will be confirmed, as he will
make an obliging and efficient officer, and
We are satisfied that he will never bctray
any trust respOsed in him. Success to
him.
