Improvement in the construction of /Jniteoj/s — 



We bave seen n model of an improvement in 



K;iil Wuvs invented b_v Mess. John Brown and 



George \V. Robinson of Providence, whicli, ii 



;il>pears (o us, will prove of vei v great litilily. 



It consists in niising and lowering loaded team- 

 by a balance and lever power, similar (o a scale 



beam. The carriages running on these railways 



will proceed on perfect levels, except at certain 



places or platforms, in which by the operation 



of levers and weights, the carriiiges, &c. are 



raised or lowered, as the ca?e may recpiire, 



from one level to another. This is eft'ecled in 

 one or two minutes, by a simple process requir- 

 ing less strength than one man can convenienlly 



exert. The horses will travel benealk the car- -y g^^^^;,^ j-^_., ^^^ ,-^^ 

 riaue, and thus be protected Irom rain or snow. p^^^ 



The same gentlemen have likewise invented | F.ariy and late Beans 

 an improvement, bv which carriages travelling j 100 lbs Ruta Baga 

 in opposite directions, can pass each other on I 'Wilis Mangel VVurlzel 

 Railways, with facil.ty and with but little delay j .^r;,t'ca?r°:r':a:,ou. 

 or (rouble. Models of these inventions may he 

 seen at the Agricullnral Repository of Mr J. R 

 Newell, 108 State Street. 



To Readers and Correspondents. — We have on 

 hand several original articles, from able pens ; 

 among which are an el.il'orale Essay and vindi- 

 cation of .Mr Knight^ s Theori/, — likewise an able 

 dis3ertii>ion on iho jYa'ural History of the Bot Fly, 

 with a variety of Observations and Experiments, 

 interesting to the Farmer. The next number of 

 the New England Farmer will appear on new 

 type.
