Needles.

Needles are all made by machinery.
The piece of mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point, flattens the head, pierces
the eye, then sharpeus the tiny iustru-
ment and gives it that polish familiar
TO the purchaser. There is also a ma
chine by which needles are counted and
placed in the papers in which they are
sold, these being afterward folded by
the s2,c-a cOIlrivance.

The question Of road making is one that
has occupied tho attention of the officials of
almost every borough in the region. Those
who have knowledge Of such affairs hold
strongly to the McAdam or Telford system
The question will occupy considerable of the
attention of the members of Council during
the present year, and win likely result in an
improvement in our streets. Most of the
streets should be dug down about two feet
and then fill up with broken stone large
ones first, and smaller as you come to the
surface, topping of with broken lime stone,
rolling over each layer with a steam roller
which can be borrowed for the time. Potts
willie has the system on Market aud Mahan-
tongo streets, and Broad street, Tamaqua, is
made in like manner. You will thus get good
roads, no expensive brick and cement to
purchase.

have been carried by the railroad companies
