USEFUL INVENTIONS. 



The spirit ol Improvement seems to have 

 entered our village, and we hope to abide with 

 us. Our citizens manifest its influence, not cnly 

 in their enterprising and useful public piojects 

 of the Canal .ind the Bridge, but in the useful 

 inventions oj pi iiale individuals. It is not many 

 months since this paper announred lo the pub- 

 lic the valuable brick press of Mr. Flacfg, and 

 since th:it time se\eral other inventions f.ave 

 been patented, or are about to be secured by 

 iho laws of Ihis country to the use of their in- 

 tri'iiious auihore. 



The Brick I'.'^KSS of .'Ir. Moore is remarka- 

 ble for ihe nealness of its roiistruclion, and the 

 perfect manner in which it ads. It moves 

 nithout resistance till the compression of ihe 

 brick commences, and as the resistance of the 

 brick increases in consequence of this compres- 

 sion, the power of Ihe machine also increases, 

 and continues to increase till the pressure is end- 

 ed. 



The Cnrn\ of Mr. Waleihonse promises to 

 save much laliour in the manaGrernenl of targe 

 dairies. Il is construcied with the conimon verti- 

 cal (lashers, hut they moved by gearing ; and 

 wilh so much ease, that Ihe lab< r of chuiriirig 

 mav easily be ()erl'ormed f'V children.

 believe that the invention of i\Tr. Day will be 

 an important improiemenf. He has had his 

 machine in operation but a short time, hut we 

 •nfvderstand Ihat one woman has dipped and 

 w"eighed more than two liuidred lbs. of Candles 

 wilh it, bt'tween noon and 7 P. M and such is 

 Ihe cnnsirnclion of the tnachine, that its pow- 

 ers might easily be extended far beyond this. 



We noiice these Inventions, for the inlorma- 

 lion of the public. We wish success to their 

 authors. Guidincr Chronicle.
