(S All who have any taste for improvement in the Machinery used in Manufa<£hires, mtift be highly gratified by viewing the gin- diflillery belonging to col. Daniel Tilling -1 baft, late of this town, erefted at Uxbridge ' the present season, under his own dire&ion. —1 he work is all done under one roof, and ' on may literally £be said to be done by water. The water used in the cisterns and worm * tubs is conveyed through a log, fr«m a ' small but never-failing pond, raised for the purpose of grinding the grain, and moving re P' the other machines.—The liquor is pumped 1 —■ from the citterns into the ftil.'s by water 1! the liquor in the Stills and cisterns is (lirred , ? by w iter—and the grains, which run from Es( the ft ills into a cistern, are pumped by wa ter into the trough in front of the cattle. —The Machinery is so fimple'as to be easily , tinderftood, and is hardly liable to get out P°. n of order. If we compare this mode of do- t ' lls ing the buiinefe with that which is some- f onl times used, the contrast appears very ftrik- ln ing. The grain is generally ground by t,lis horses, or carried Miles to Mill—the im mense quantities of water used in the cisterns a "? and worm-Tubs, are frequently pumped by Wl ' horses from a deep well—the liquor in the rc P u ft ills and cisterns is stirred by hand—the li- ! co quor is pumped from the cisterns into the , stills by hand—and the grains for the cattle are pumped by ha»d. In a cauntry like this,where labour is scarce and dear, every .. improvement in Machinery for saving labour ,! c '' in adding so mych wealth to the nation. _ . J ca By this clay's Mail.
