RUTLAND, [Ver.] November On Thursday lall, water was publicly raised in this town to the perpendicular height of 38 feet, by means of a machine .newly ihvented by Mr. Barnabas Lar.gdon. Tubes were unfortunately wanting to make an experiment to a greater height. It is »ot known that any machine heretofore conflrutted has ever raised water, by the prelTure of the atmofphers, to a greater height than thirty four feet We under Hand th;\t Mr. Langdon has applied far a patent, for securing to him the benefit of.fo ufeful an invention. The small compass of the machinery, the facility of its opera tion, and the height to which it may raise water, seem strongly to recommend it for drawing water, in tubes under grounds, for family use.
