A Wonderful Cash Register.

John Eger has just placed in his grocery store a cash register which lays over anything in the cash register line ever seen in Rensselaer before. TLaaems to be possessed of hnman knowledge and more than hnman aocuraoy. It is a six olerk power machine, and every clerk has a separate button to press when he makes a sale. The maohine not only registers the amount of the sale and shoves out the change, if any is opining, but also adds up the day’s sales, to that point, showing the entire cash receipts for the day, the instant a fresh sale is made. Furthermore it prints and throws out a sale oheok, for the oustemer, eveTy time a sale is registered, showing the amount of the purchase, the day it is made, and the initial letter of the olerk who made it Btill farther, there is to be a olook attached whioh will show the exact time of day the .first olerk gete to the store and presses the button. The machine cost $330, but Mr. Eger bought it for $287 cash and his old register in exchange Another accomplishment of this talented machine, whioh we almost foigot to mention, is that it shows the amounts paid in on accounts, at any time daring the day.
