A New Patent.

Col. d. F. Hit, of this city, lately obtained
from Washington patent for surveyors plot
ting machine which is said to be very fine in
strument. In procuring the patent, Mr.. Furness,
the architect, drew up the plans, etc, and to him
we are indebted for the following ideas of the
machines uses and the manner Of working with
it. Mr.. Furness says: ''The object of this inven-
ton is to furnish to surveyors and Others an i'm
proved device for plotting their field notes in
quick and accurate manner The instrument
combines protractor, triangles and scales, and
admits at the same time the reading off of the
ATTITUDES and departure for each station, and is
very valuable for the computation of the area,
without the use Of the transverse tables.
"The instrument is used for plotting the bear
ings from station to station, as read from the
field book, by setting one of the sides of the frame
to the station and the hypotenuse-scae to the re-
quired angle along the quadrant, which acts as
the protractor. The distances as read from the
field book between the stations are laid off along
the hypoenuse- scale after the scale is clamped to
the required angle, and the scale then moved out
of the way and the lateral scale set accurately to
the station so obtained, and then clamped into
position by ribscrews. The latitude and aepar-
turc of each station there read off, respective
ly on the slotted side scales of the frame and on
the lateral scale, and noted down for each station
as to supersede the transverse tables, and will
admit the computation of any irregular piece of
land inclosed by the lines plotted in accurate and
reliable manner by the differences Of the lati-
tudes and departures so obtained.
"The instrument will be a very useful and ac-
curatc calculator for the use of surveyors, and
will save at least two-thrds of the time in plot
tinga map"

Though HULL Is about to replace his shelving
cut through partition walls, retit new store
and such like, he has not ceased business but is
daily receiving new goods, and has more on the
road to be in soon.
On yesterday, for instance, he oponed big
line of SILKS. They comprised black silks, color
ed and summer silks, and several pieces of deli
cate shaded silk for parties. All are most ele.
giant, but these party silks are superb; we saw a
pink, cream, and pale blue, Ito go no further)
which were very rich and beautiful and would
make almost any kind of wearer the observed
of all observers" at a ball The ladies should
certainly see these silks.
Special attention is called to the stock of CASH
MEREs, which they are now opening-unusually
rich.
The line Of stiff goods is beginning to assume
proportions, but the bulk Of these is still on the
road to be in in a few days.
HULL, it will be seen, is leading in dress goods.
When the new room is fixed, the plate glass in,
the stairs re-modeled, the shelving made new,
the partitions pierced, and the beautiful store
blossoms out, goods will look better, of course {;
but
HULL is selling noc just as cheap, and is show
ing just as fine goods as under the new regime.
Call and see.

Another Fine Room.

Ottawa is getting to be famous as n town of
elegant business houses, and few towns OF its size
can equal it, Where improvements are necessa-
nv they are ut once made. The latest we have to
mention is the enlargement of SCoTT Bios car
pet hall Though heretofore an excellent show
room, it was not perfect; the change, therefore,
hal to be made. Visitors now (since all changes
are completely will find hall in size 35x15 feet
with direct light at both extremes, making it one
of the best lighted salcsrooms in the city. At no
time of day is it dark in any part of the room,
nor at any time is the light too brlliant-the
''happy mean" for which all strive having been
obtained to all practicable perfection. BY heavy
shades 1t can, however, be darkened and lit with
gas If customers desire to carpet by gas light.
On our visit yesterday we found this great room
crowded with goods-the one side with Brussels
and higher grades of goods; the other with in
grains, &c.,-a very much larger stock than they
ever before showed and repletc with elegant
patterns and late and novel styles.
We found, too on enquiry, decided improve
ment to the buyer in prices-body Brussels, s.
frame, ranging from $l.50 to S1.75; tapestry
Brussels, from 75c to s1.25; extra superfine in
grains from roc to $780, worth last year S1.15;)
full line Of medium low price carpets, hand
some colors, ingrains, from 25 to SO cents; cot
tage hcmps as low as Is cents. When it is re-
membered that each Iof these lines is complete, Sc
lected with great care from the headquarters, the
bargains and opportunities they offer may be APP
preciated.
They have made many sales alrcady-more by
far than ever before thus early in the season;
and some of these sales under peculiarly trying
circumstances. We remember one, c. G., to Mr.
Waite, of Marseles, who got full line of sam
pies from Chicago house, which he compared
with these goods. He bought at SCoTT's-his
body Brussels-enough to carpet his large and
elegant parlors.
The stock includes Also of course, a full line of
borders; also lace curtains Ga case opened Thurs
day. from 2Oc per yard to 81; also full line of cor
nices, &C. oil curtains and fixtures, rugs, mats,
&c, &c.
The stock is complete in every way and well
worth the general attention it doubtless will re.
ceive from the public Of this and adjoining coun-
ties They opened this week large stock of
goods in other lines, so that now every depart.
ment is complete with the spring stock

to similar causes. One of the wheels in the

| The temperance meetings begun last week
continued through this week till Wednesday
night, when DR.. Whitney closed up his part OF
the work. The work had hardly begun when we
wrote on the subject for our last only two meetings
having been held and but little could then be
said in the way of successful work. On last Fri
occupy the Congregational church, the largest
in the city, where the meetings were afterwards
held. Dr. Whitney spoke, of course, at all these
meetings, rs did others, both OF this city and
from abroad, who were engaged or interested in
the work. Each night showed an increase of the
muster roll, red ribbon wearers began to thicken
on the streets, and the town actually seemed a
little excited over it all On Monday evening
while the meeting up stairs was going on, in the
basement of the church the ladies served refresh
ments of coffee, ice cream, &c, movement
which we believe was not pecuniarily very sue
cessful, though it was everything that could be
desired in other respects.
On Wednesday evening mems meeting was
held in the basement of the Baptist church to or
canize q Reform Club after the manner and style
of those organized by DR.. Whitney in other
places in which he has worked. He nominated
the president, who, he said had all the necessary
qualifications for the ofces-Mr. HENRY LELER
who was unanimously elected. A committee Of
three was then appointed to nominate the other
officers. This committee reported the following;
