ri'^ME following scheme is the result of a
1 nieeting of the (.'harlotte ItenevoK ut Me
chanical Society, fo" the ])urpose of de\ising
ways and means to exchange the labor alreadj
expended in tnanufaeturing, for another .stock
of materials, that they may continue clu erfiilh
in the exercise of their ocetipation, by wbicii
alone they have been instructed to make a sub
sistence. 'I’he great want of vent for the labor
ot the vcr\' lirniteil manufactories of the west
ern part of North-Carolina, is .severi ly felt by
those who have been tauglit to relv on thi .r
profession alone for the support of thrir fami
lies ; and such indigence will doubtless keep
every branch of mechanism that lalxirs under it,
in an awkward and erampi-d coiulitlon, that must
retard that encrj;;'etic spirit, without which it is
imj)ossible for the art to flourish.
The society feels sanguine i:) the hope, that
gen'lemon who are not in the habit of embark
ing in lottery sr.benu s generally, will be inllii-
eneed by charitable motives to encourage mech
anism at their doors, and thereby have an op-
poTtunity of j)roJiting- themseUes for
in ad\ance, and aflording their countenance
for the ncouragenient of the best interest of
the w estern part of the state. And for the se
curity of those who may embark in this scheme,
the socii ty propose a])pointing suvtral disinter
ested piTsoiis to value the woi k,aiul see that it
sliail not be imposed on the people at c.xor-
bitant prices. ’I'he society has suceeedeil in
prucuriiig- gentlemen to superintend the draw
ing, in w hoin the iiubiic has full confidence,
and wliose names will give a characti r to the
l.otteiy. It is proposed to draw the scheme as
soon as the ticki t» can be sold, which, it is
likely, w ill be in F'ebruary.

S(;riously and soberly,—.Mr. Augus
tus Day, who resides at Ps'o. 121 North
Third street, has invented a stove, by
which, it has been calculated, a roonj
may be ke^it warm for a whole flay,
imd no more than four rents worth of
iel'.igh Coal he constmied in (hat period.
It Is of small size, and in shape an in
verted cone, with several longitudinal
openings near the' apex. On a grate
within, rests a small quantity r»f coal.

■oal, the a(jueous vapor is decompo.scd,

is produced by the combustion of oxy-

stove is attached to a moveable section
of pipe, which is raised anl Imvert'd by
a fixture similar in principle to that of a
suspended lamp, and hy this coni i ivance

Ihe heat, that a .'•m.dl fpuuitity of water
thrown into th(i .stt)ve, is immediately
decomposed, and 1 he conibusi ion d' its

this we have ourselves been witness.
A ludicrous mistake happened some
time ago at a ftmttral in Mary-hvbone.
