Within a few years many and great im provements bare been made in the meebanie arts, and the introduction of numerous and ingenious machines, 11 substitutes for or' ad- juncts to hard labor, has much facilitated the manufacture of many articles branches, the business . of cooperage baa sensi bly improved, and the ease and rapidity 'with which barrels are now turned out, and the per- fection of the product, as compared with the old system of manipulation, is astonishing. The difference was fully demonstrated to our perception, on a visit to a new coopering estab lishment, recently put in operation by Messrs. M' Kee & Philips, on layette street, near. Hand. They occupy an antiquated brick warehouse, formerly used as a lead factory by Avery & Ogden, which, being one hundred and twenty feet by forty, and with abundtinee of ground room attached, is admirably adapted to its new uqe. The factory has been in oper ation scarcely more than a month, and as it le one of two similar in the United States, a de- ecription of it may be interesting. The difference between the manufacture of .work here and by the old plan, is the employ ment of a number of ingenuous machines, manufactured at Elmira, New,York, polled by a sixty-horse power engine in the building, not one-fifth of which, however, is necessary,) which perform work more rapidly and accurately than it could . possibly - be done by hand. We will follow the process of man ufacturing a coal oil barrel, which mustfie per fectly tight, as the liquid is very penetrating. The staves, which are of the hest white oak, rived, not sawed, and supplied from the Alle gheny regions, after being air dried, are trans ferred to a dry house adjoining the shop, heat ed by waste steam, where they remain two weeks, until thoroughly dried. - They are then taken, in their rough state, to a stave dresser, an ingenuous machine, manu factured by Fay Co , Worcester, Massachu setts, where each one is caught by „rollers, hol lowed and dressed outside, by two Sets of knives, arranged for the purpose. This will dress fifteen or sixteen staves per minute. The staves are now passed, singly, through an "edging off saw," which removes the "sap wood," and are then transferred to an "ending off saw," consisting of two circular saws, set on a shaft, which cut them to the required length, From this they are passed to a "setting frame," in which they are given the curve they are to retain in the barrel, and while in it, the edges are given the " jointing bevel." on a large wheel, twenty-two feet in circumference, in which, at intervals, are two sets of hits, for "roughing" and "smoothing," by which, while the wheel revolves, the rough edges of the staves are planed off, and the desired inclina tion given, at the rate of three a minute. The staves are now ready to be made into barrels. A boy, with the aid of a machine for drawing them together. gathers' them into shape, and places a hoop on each end, forminc: an open-ended barrel, in which condition they are passed into a drying room, kept at a,tena perature of two hundred !dreEts, whereAt.r( 3. mains some two hours, until theroughly dried and heated through and through, so as to al low of ifs tieing shaped, whichkliape the barrel, when cold, will retaiu. On being removed from the drying room the barrel passes to a "crozing lathe," where, secured by circular iron clamps at each end, it is made to revolve rapidly, while a few small tools cut the chine at each end, and form the crozing, which is done with unmistakable accu racy. The barrel is now ready for hooping and heading, which a good cooper can do at the rate of fifteen to eighteen daily. The making of the heads is equally intereat ing. - .The slabs of oak, in proper shape, are placed in a " head dresser," and one side dressed of They now pass to a boring machine, with two stationary bits,'which bore small boles in the edge. The pieces are joined by'hand, (after having the edges passed through a plane-run by steam) .with oak,- pins, forming 23, ',rough head. This is now paisf.alS a lathe, Whore it ss caught laterally by two iron plates which hold it, revolving,_ until the bits, cut ;.it perfectly round, and the edge. is .beveiled ao as to- At the crone by a - small bat sharp instru ment. ' • •• '. • • . The remaining work is done by hand, eX eepting'tlre fiaring of thebild'hoops, ;which is done by machinery . . Four or five coopers are constantly engaged in finishing barrels—which, when complete, areas line specimens of cooper age as we have seen—with six heavy hoops, an inch and three quarters wide,—smooth, clean, and tight. To Messrs., brifee & Philips a di ploma was awarded at the County Fair, for su perior work, which, we think, they, were fairly entitled to. . The establishment will turn dot one hun dred, harrels per day" . employing ° some fifteen qci fit 'e thimrsand dollar's' Worth of , ma= chinery. They manufacture only tight woyit, such as coal oil; whisky, Molasses; ale and pork barrels. During the fall they will enter extensively into,the,manufacture of, molasse barrels, 1.6 be sent- South Ar: tilling,azitl!eur merchants can have their orders filled by them in any quantity. They make alio half barrela and kegs. The firm is composed of two gentlemen, well known in the community as honest and capable,.and We heartily wish them ,thelniccess in their new enterprise which their attention t. 3 busipess and the superior product of.thelr factory entitles them to. , , . .

This extraordinary preparation of Protected Solution of Protoxide of Iron, called •• Peru vian Syrup," is attaining a celebrity in the healing art seldom equalled. Its etrects are truly marvelous. We daily learn of some re markable effect ; produced by. it. A few' days ago a gentleman called on the writer of this, and declared that he had gained fourteen pounds in as many days. Another gentleman gained some ten pounds in a few weeks, and then these are cases of extreme debility where every other kind of medicine failed. We have long known iron to be used in medicine. but -the objection. hitherto, has been that it was umally in a torn not to be acted on by the stomach, and consequently wits rejected by the vessels employed in its absorption, and its re ception into the blood is as certain as the ab sorption of the drops of rain by the thirsty earth. How many pale; sickly looking people do we not see, whose constitutions are enfeo ' bled, and the very pallor of whose looks be tray a lack of iron in the system! To all such the "Peruvian Syrup" will bring relief in an incredibly short space of time, and that relief is permanent, as there is no reaction utter its use. It works by a slow but sure pro cess, is rebuilding the worn oat and broieb constitution. • The certificates published in;l4- wird to it are of such a character as to forbid the usual charge of quackery. Some of the very best physicians in Boston and the New England States, have used it in their practice, and certify to its wonderful curative powers in all cases where Tonic or Alterative medi cines are indicated.

Resolved, That a committee of five be ap pointed to collect funds to protectthose miners who are willing to go to work, and to prosmite all those persons who may illegally combine together for the purpose of preventing their fellow miners from working, and also to pros ecute 1111 those who may resort to violence to accomplish the same purpose. Resolved, That the committee of five be em powered to call a meeting of the Coal Dealers at anyi time that they may deem expedient or necessary. The committee appointed to crrry out the second resolution are James H. Hays, Wm. H. Brown, Charles B. Kenny,Prederick Hausman, J. Haworth.
