Wall Taper Trimmers.

Much of the annoynrice that has always attended the use of wall paaer is owing to the ..difficulty of cutting and fitting in. This annoyance, every good housekeejier will be glad to learn, is now entirely obviated by the new wall paper trimmer which has come into use. One of these machines on exhibition at Dickey & Brewer's is the most perfect thing of the kind we have ever seen. It cutis cither one or both edges with exact evenness and as rapidly as the paper can be unrolled from the bolt. Thus an exact correspondence of the edges is secured at a saving of what constitutes nearly one half the labor ^if papering without the trimmer. It will pay any one to watch the operations of this machine.
