MIR rERR1lL HAS A PATENT ALLOWED.

Reuben B. TerrilI, Agent Taylor's ef- ficient assistant at the Newtown station, has had patent allowed on an adiusta- ble note book holder. IL consists of two pieces of polished wood, securely hinged together, and forming convenient and durable holder. The covers are one-half inch apart, and holds equally as well, all note books of that thickness and under the hinges rest on two shoulder and keep the covers even, when ineloging the book. A small, stout.wire, near the top of the fewer cover, swings SO that portion of the leaves may be passed under it, this holds the book securely, and an attach ment on the upper cover keeps it in place when the holder is closed. When fixed for taking notes, the fingers have place to rest while the lines at the foot of each page are being filled. Strips across the covers incline the book towards the writer; when writing on desk, this iu- cline may also be obtained by extending the upper cover beyond the lower cover, and bringing 1t under as far as the hing es will permit. When set up for tram scribing, the clip passes through plate, and is locked in a rcenner which holds it firm and secure; there are two of these places, one above the other, and the clip Is easily passed into either of them. These two adjustments admit of the note book being nearly at right angles with the eyes, whether on high or low desk
 Mir Terrill has not yet perfected plans for it's manufacture, but he intends to place 1t on the market at once. Those who have examined MT Terrilrs appli. ance believe he has good thing.
