Sitae Last Tnrnliiff Machine.
We have haJ the pleasure within a few days
t'f witnessing the operation of this curious
specimen of American ingenuity and skill. It !
.ym. invention 01 i iiom UI.ANcllARn, o nf ,,, M,oa but d lTer from the imported pin
..I:tsa., whose various labor saving inventions; n,inly in this, that they are solid headed iht U,
have given hitn a just distinction am ng tlio j the p n nnd head are one and indivisible. The
most eminent American mechanics. This mi- ', pit a ire twice the stirTnesa of the English, and tbe
cliine ha9 been erected and put in operation 1 point of exceiding fineness, owing to improvements
i.i this city under his suporintendancH by ! in the method of manufacturing. They are of ad
I.KWi.s S. LlNDSLtV, at Quiinby's Conch Fac- ' niiiable quality and finish, and are tff ded chenpi f
tiy, and is well worthy of the attention of !'h.n pint have ever been hi fore three hun
ii... :... . r m t-
those who take an interest in the progress of
the mechanic arts.
The machine differs somewhat from other
machines for turning irregular forms, although
it turns from a pattern. The indefinite variety
in the sizes and half sizes of shoe lasts would
seein to present an insiirmiuint;ililn ilifTtpnltv i
: . .i. e i . '
m the way of making one instrument answer i
f it . 1 . . rt . . . I
ror an ; out tne genius or the inventor lias sue- !
coeded in establishing a principle by wlrch I
l. sizes are turned from one pattern, either
right or left. It is made 1o work completely
according to a scale, or index, attached to the
machine ; so that the tender c:in, by an in-
Hl.ititaneous movement of a slide and lever, set j
the machine to any size, which is designated
by figures, so as to produce atiy last required
from the same pattern, both rioht and lelt.
Tho most skilful workman, we understand,
cannot produce lasts with any thing like this
degree of uniformity or accuracy, by hand la
bor. We have before us a pair of beuutiful
lasts turned by the machine from the measure
ment of our feet, which conform perfectly to the
measure, one for each foot. Betides the accu
racy thus rendered certain, the labour of lutt
making is wonderfully diminished, as one man
with this machine will turn out 50 pair in a
day.
The business is to be conducted by Amos K.
Carter, as agent for the Blanchard Gun Block
Corporation, and can scurccly fail to prove, un
der the fostering influence of the Protective
Policy of Congress, an important addition to the
business of our city.
Return of at Saint.
The Pittsburg papers rive rather an amusing
account of the return to that city of one of Joe
Jr'tuith's .N'auvoo saints. Among the first con
verts to the Mormon faith, in Pittsburg, it seems
was a baker by the name of Arney. He lelt
his "bread-trough" and went to Nauvoo, with
others who had been converted in the neigh
borhood under the preaching ofono Elder Page.
Arrived at the "holy city," he was honored
with a sight of the temple and an audience of
the prophet. This to an ordinary man would
have been considered all sufficient compensa
tion for a pilgrimage of five hundred miles,
but not so thought tho baker he whs well
enough satisfied with what ho hud seen, and
wanted toseemore. Inquisitivoness often leads
people into difficulties; and Joe toon discovered
that his baker convert was "more cake than
dough," and a pretty Eolid loaf at that, to lie de
termined to reduce his size to the standard of his
other stuf for fear the baker would work too
tiiriuto the mysteries of his sect. Joe had re
course to revelation ; the baker looked on and
wondered. Another revelition and a prophc-

TvOMANCEOF RkaL LifI'. Some vears ao,
navso f.ireio,, inurnal. tin caiituin of a Corsjur '
carried off the wife of a poor wood-cutter re
siding in the neighborhood of Messina. After
detaning her for several months on board his I
vessel, he landed on an island in the South Seas
wind y regardless of what might befi! her. It
happened that the woman wa's presented hi the '
bava.re monarch of the island, w ho became en- !
morBid of her. He made her his wife placed !
her on the throne, and at Ins death left her the !
soie sovereign ol Ins domains. Uy a European

vessel which recently touched at the Island, the
rxvjr woodcutter has received inteliijrence of his
wile. She sei.t him presents ot sucli vast value
that he will probably be one of the wealthiest
individuals in Sicily, until it ahall please Iter
majesty, his august spouse, to summon hitn to
her court.

that if they convicted his client, that they would
also be bound in law to convict both himselt i
and the judge, as they were both "aiding and '

made. In consequence ol this the jury hung, ,
for one half were in favor of convicting tho ,
