It is a process of cutting; its w y by innumer- able efforts. to cut or ser telt aWay the the substance.. It is alwa s for Ward and back, forward and back.

It is in every achine- shop where wood is cut up into the ten thousai ds of forms of use, for ornament, buildinft , or manufacturin . It does the work a an astonishing ate of speed. It is lik the railroad in travel, compared to the ne-horse cart. Tho untold quan- tities ol lumber now cut and broeght to -market ; whole regions of counti y strip- ped of 1 heir forests and made ilia, plank for salt in the lumber -rnarket,-it is all done by the circular Saw. ;What a revolution the circular saw Itti.s ina,de ! But in how short a time ? Who ipvented it ? Tie circular saw is the invention of a Yank e, and has not been in use much over a century. The, nventer lived in Hartford, Ct.; his name I have for- gotten ; he is not alive,' but his wife sur- vived bite, and is now alive, or was two years ago, residing! in Vermont: And in acknowledgement i of the great good which her litialiand's,liinVeptioll had clone, a President of one tae railtoad.s of that State gave her a free pass to ride over hie road so long as she might live. The circular saw was 1.1 ver patented, 4 and theinventor nevertha greater ben- efit from his discoveiy than what he de- rived from running his own saw. In this way was the inventor of thi great ancl valuable instrument, and truly a revolutionary invention, r!eward d, ----his i name even unrecorded. x he Manufac- turers of wood should see that a monu- ment be erected to his merirory. - THE SCREW -AI; ER has a history hardly less i tempting: It never yet has been put upOn the prieted page -when the screW-augcrarne into _ use, or who invented it, br by Whom it was first manufactured. Very old men may now remember wheii the pod -auger was the one commonly an use. The screw -auger is not much used in Eng- land. They say they cannot bore true with it. The screw is onlestly confined to bits or augers not morel than -half an inch in size. They start tie anger with a gouge. The screw -auger was first made in the United Sates, and in its present form invented., 1 about 'seventy- five years ago, 1.ty a comrnon country blacksmith. His name vas Tsrael Scott. At the time he made the first anger, he lived in the north part 'of the town of Amherst in Massa.chuset 8, in a little villaae where four roads met, called " 'The City." He was !a ' very honest man and did not claim to be the inven- tor, becaase he said in English journey- man blacksmith whom he had employed told him that he had seeLl a bit so con- structed that, while boring into the wood, it was drawn in I by the screw, and it was only thecommon screw gim- let bit. This gave Mr. Scott the hint, and he constructed the ' auger substan- tially as it now is, with the centre -screw, the cutting lip or blade, and the spiral twist of the shank. For Many years he was the only manufacturer of this kind of auger, and his rep tition became quite extended. It was n t made with the elegance and finish pf the auger of the present day. But i would bore well, and stand well in us ; for he had a wonderful -knack in gettmg the right temper upon edge -tools A few years later, he removed to W ately, Mass., where he continued to make augers and shoe horses. About 1815 he returned to Amherst, and had charge of the cotton - factory at Parting Village, near- "The City ;' and in 1828 he trted to North 1 FRIDAY, IVIARCH 20 1874.

Snell, about that thaw, became a popular manufacturer of a isrers, that went into the market for sal', aricl sub- stituted the a Scott auger. Mr. Scott had a pecuhai brand of his own make, with which he used to stairp all the eugers he made for castome 's ; it was simply "1. Sctm-r." Such a high repu- tation did his forged and. unpolished work attain that many cou rterfeit au- gers, made in his style and lama:led with his name, were ID anufact ured. arid thrown into hardware stores. They were even breught to his own 'villa'sse- store for sale. ' so• so - A MODEL FACTORY VII1LAGE. Time Silk 'Factories at IV amichemter, Conn ---The Utopia of Libor Real- ized. . , . • Everybody, pertainly every vomanehas heard of the Ataterican silks na 11am-tared by the Cheney Brothers. No everybody knows where they are made, and few of those knowing this have seei the place. I, more fortunre, have. The silk fae ories of the Cheney Broth- ers are in the town of 1Vlanchester, Conn., some eight milies east of Hartford, on the railroad conneetin'g that city and Provid- • ence. The vi lage which has grown up about and bec use of them in a corner of the town is known as South Manchester. The works are located on the farm which was once -owed by the father of the brothers, and was their birth -place. At that time there were upon it a saw -mill and a distillery. Many years ago, the nutuufa.cture of sewing -silk was begun in a modest way by one of th,e brahers. The enterprise grew, and changed as it gretie till novs A employs in its manager nient the six brothers, a thoesand oper- atives, and (know not how much Capital. Of the process of manufacture I say no- thing. I found in a short stay at South _Manchester wonders enough for one ar- ticle, outside the clean, admirable mills, with their superb steam-engine and in- genious machinery. 1 In the first ,place, this mole[ factory village is not at all like a fac ory village. The . mills are not conspicu Ifs. Tall, ugly buildings ,are not rudely ind at cince forced upon you, as if to cl allenee at- tention. They are at goo 1 distances frem each other, located doubtless with respect to convenience, and yet rather in secluslon, well built, modest, appropriate in style as M site. A factory village without factories asserting themselves at once and with coarse emphasis is un- usual, to say the least. 'This peculiarity introduces another. There are no long, unsightly blocks of brick or wood tene- ment houses. This ordinary and greatly disfleauring feature of our factory towns is wholly wanting. All about, with the same irregularity prevailing in an ordin- ary Tillage, are the cottages of the em- ployees. These cottages are simple'most attractive in style, not common, not uni- form. Each stands by itself, a little ground about it, in every way making a comfortable, -healthful, neat home. There are many men and womeu having more property than the occupants of these cot- tages, who live in houses much less pleas- ing in style and location. in the village are two school -houses. Both were put - up according to plans furnished by the architect of the Cheney Brothers. One, possibly both, stands upon ground they gave. This is a model building for an in. expensive country school -house; most complete in its arrangements, = and m.ost charmingly situated in a fine grove, well off the road. Among the more conspicuous build- ings, the - most interesting is the hall. Here is a pleasant audience -room seat- ing perhaps 500. Upon the platform is an excellent organ, -and, „besides, such seefiery and arrangements as are needed for theatrical uses. In thiarouni is held a service, each Sa,bbatli 'morning, and at . the close a_ Sabbath -school. This ser- vice is conducted by such clergymen as are invited by the brothers, who defray the entire expenses, they, their families and such of their employes as choose at-. tending it. Below the audience -room is a reading -room, the tables of which are generously supplied with the best papers, magazines, quarterlies, &c. Here is a a library of several hundred voluntes. Reading -room and library are free to res- idents. Here, teo,is a room useci by the Good Templars, a kitchen and billiard - room. Altogether, the hall is a most convenient building - exactly etch as every town needs. The Methodiet church in the village, the plarts and or- gan for which the brothers fuenished, is an exceedingly tasteful building, ad- mirably refuting the fallacy that cheap- ness and uglinesss are inseparable. The religious preferences of the Romanists are met by seeding a special car into Hartford on Sun- day morning for their rcethnodation. The quiet and orderliness with which this was done was not the 1 asj striking feature of the Sabbath I pa se4l at South Manch ester. The residences of the Ch ne Brothers arid their SODS (there are aboi1t 80 souls in all) are scattered about 4pon pleasant sites, and are such as would natal ally be the homes of men who have created a model factory village. They have done what "inert be clone elsewhere ' with great economy and great bene •t to the landscape -given pp fences. The gain of such a practice is very greet and of various kinds. Once seen A must be -ad- mired and imitated, I am s re. When in South Manche ter a bakery had just been started. Th brothers found that many of their employes had either poor bread or none at all, using as a substitute whatever could be easily /.1 prepared in the morning. Wi h chara,c- teristic energy and benevolen e they at once attempted to do away Wit the evil. A convenient building ws c1rected; a baker fresh from Gerrnany e ployed ; good flour in large quantiti s b ught ; a tasteful wa,gon built ; and zio, for cost, as good bread as one could desire is de- livered at :the houses in time for break- fast. A laundry is soon to be put up, where at cost the washing of the village may be clone. I have given facts enough to prove the asseation that South Manche ter is si , • model factory village. Such cleanliness in any village would indeed be marvel- lous: "Where do you put your rub- bish ?" asked., having looked in vain or the ugly heaps tat disfigure The green grass was in admir- able conditic n. Paths were used. bro- where did 1 see the sign, "Please keep • off the grass " Altogether, Smith Man- chester is o mart el. Men are to be found there who are not in such haste to make money that they cannot spend it freely on what is not directly remunera- tive; or it may be they have found that order, cleanliness, and beauty pay.

',He was full of a certain roug$i bonhommfr of his own, which told irresistibly in his behalf.

On Saturday morning. -' between e and 3 o'clock, some ;burglars effected an entrance into the office of the Wood- bridge- Agricultural . Implement and Machine Works, oivned by John Abell & Son. They blew open .the safe and rifled. its coatents, and then set fire to the building. The 'flames -totally On - slimed the whole establishment, together with immense piles of lumber and cord- wood. When the fire was discovered the oifice was all in flathes, which rapidly spread -to the other bUilding. Although the steam punip was quiekly got into operatiod, the flames imade such rapid progress that it was of very little use. The burglars !opened the safe by driving a square piece. of , iron- through the outside door, and then; inserting .powder or nitro-glycerine, which blew the fire -proof case completely off, and one of the wrought' iron . hinges.
