An Important Meeting.

A meeting of delegates from the principal man j.
uacturers and users Of planning machines drought
the country, was held to-day at the st. Nicholas
Hotel, to protest against the validity Of the Wood
buy patent planning machre.
This machine was invented in lS4S by Joseph
Page Woodbury. of Lynn, Mass, hut was aban-
doned by him as useless for over 20 wears, during
which time it was used extensively over the coun-
try. and there are now 900 of these machines.
Having made 100000 by another patent,
Woodbury. again applied for his old patent in 1870,
under modification in the patent law, and Com
missioner l.eggett pronounced it Il fraud hut
Woodbury. succeeded in obtaining it through the
court above in 1873.
The Woodbury. Planning Co. was then organ
lied and insisted on the payment of royalty from
all who were using and manufacturing the patent.
The latter resisted the claim on the grounds that
the machine had been so much improved by other
parties as to do ten times the work of the original
invention, and on the refusal Of the Woodbury.
Co. to sue for an Infringement of the patent, the
manufacturers and users have forced them into
the district court Of Mass by writ Of scre faiias,
to establish their claim.
Resolutions were passed pledging the manufac-
.urers to resist the claim, and TO seek for speedy
settlement of the case in the courts Over GO del
egatcs were present at the meeting.
Reduction OF Wages.
The report submitted at the meeting of the W
L. Telegraph Company, to-day, shows the net
profits of the last six months Of 1870 to be 81 ,,

was declared. The salaries OF all officers and en
ployees above $500 per annum were reduced on

from one of his relations, uncle, believe.
The theft was discovered, and all the money es-
cept the value Of pistol, was recovered. Hi.
own roughness aid the deed merited rough usage
on The part Of his protectors. The suppostion is
that he "got it," On the evening Of his death he
said to the boys that that was his last spree, and
Immediately fling commenced, and the boys left.
The result was before stated-death. Where

This affair calls to mind the circumstances Of S

beer or something of that nature. Az soon as
the beer entered his body the evil one took pos

went on further, drank more, &c, &c. Dung
such times he was entirely unconscious Of all he
did. 4. other times he was as rational as any
one, only little wild look OF The eyes, as when
we saw him. 1t wasl on one of these occasions
that he found himself in Rockland, and by advice
Of his father and the physician, lie was sent 70

Comments Of the N. Y. Press
on tho Presidents Message.
What the World SAYS.

New York, December 8. The World criticises
| the Presidents Message, and in regard to Cuba,
says:
Although his language is somewhat obscure,
yet his disposition is to observe strict justice in
dealing with Spain. If the President, however,
had frankly stated that he had brought Spain to
the point Of indemnity for the past and guarantee
for the future, no cause of trouble w0nid remain
between the two countries"
The proposition TO tax church property in the
message, is but reinforcement to tina. which pro-
poses secta,ian strife on the common school quis.
| ton.
What the Times Says.
| The Times says the message will be read by
| the whole country with general satisfaction, and
its suggestions are such as the soundest Judgment
| of the business men OF the [ Mon will concur ill.,
What the Herald Says.
The Herald says the President is sound en- all
questions, but the combined religions and school
question:; on these he is quiSotic.
What the Tribune Says.
The Tribune thinks the message is thiId-term-
ish and says nothing has occurred warranting the
bringing forth OF the school question and the pro-
posed taxation OF church property at this time,
| new issues. The message is one Of politics, not Of
craftsmanship.
What the Sun Says.
The sun says the new propositions Of the Presl-
dent in his message is proof that will be intro
duccd into the next campaign, and it will di.ap
point the people on the Cuban question. The
Sun don't believe the people will pay much heed
| to the Presidents recommendation.
