Wondcm of the Patent OfCicc. A cursory examination of the Patent Of

fice Report for 1852 reveals some surprising inventions:

Kxnminer's Report explains the principles of the celebrated llobb's lock. Its "unpickability" depends upon a secondary or false set of tumblers, which prevent the instruments used in picking from reaching the real ones. Moreover, the lock is pow-der-proof, and may be loaded through the keyhole and tired off until the burglar is tired of his fruitless work, or fears that the report of his explosions will bring to view his experiments more witnesses than he desires.

Doors and shutters have also been patented, that cannot be broken through with either pick or sledge hammer. The burglar's "occupation's gone."

A harpoon is described which makes the whale kill himself. The more he pulls lhe line the deeper goes the harpoon.

An ice-making ruachino has been patented, which goes by a steam engine. In an experimental trial, it froze several bottles of sherry and produced blocks of ice of the size of a cubic foot, when the thermometer was standing at 80 degrees. It is calculated lhatfot every ton of coal put into the furnace, it will make a ton of ice.

From Dr. (iale's examiner's Report we gather some idea of the value of patents. A man who hud made a slight improvement iu straw-cutters, look a model of his machine through the Western States, and after a tour of eight months returned with $40,000. Another had a machine to thresh and clean grain, which in fifteen months lie sold for $60,000. A third obtained a patent for a printer's ink. refused $50,000 for it, niui finally sold it for ^l!0.000. These are ordinary cases while such inventions as the telegraph, the planing machine, and the India rubber patents are worth millions each.

Examiner Lane's report describes various new electrical inventions. Among these is an electric whaling apparatus, by which the whale is literally "shocked to death." Another is an electro magnetic alarm which rings bells and displays sig* nab in ease of lim, or burglars. Another is an electric clock, which wakes you up, lls you what time it is, and lights a lamp for you, at any hour you please.

There is a "sound gatherer," a sort of huge ear trumpet, to be placed in front of a locomotive, bringing to the engineer's car all the noises ahead, perfectly distinct, notwithstanding the rattle of the train. •Chew is an invention that picks uj$ pins from a confused heap, turns them all round with their ftehdx up,and sticks them in papers, in regular rows. Another goes through live whole prvwess of cigar making, taking in tobacco leaves ami turning out the perfect article.

One machine cuts cheesc another scours knives and forks another blacks boots another rocks the cradle and seven or eight lake in washing and ironing.

ADDRESS

Before the Tigo Agricultural Society, OCTOBEE 8TH, 1853.

I By nr. 8. DURHAM.

Gentlemen of the Vigo Agricultural Socity: It is at yoor request, that one your junior in age, and of limited experience, appears, to address you upon the present occasion.

I appreciate this favor more highly from the conviction that there are others far more worthy and possessing abilities, both to instruct and interest you,I am unwilling to concede to myself—but in the absence of these, and rather than let the occasion pass without the ordinary degree of respect—at your solicitation. I consented to offer «uch thoughts as my knowledge from observation might suggest, and the limited time for preparation might permit.

The object for which you arc assembled here to-day, is of vital importance not only to you, farmers and mechanics, but one in which the entire community, the professional man. the merchant, the capitalist, and the lover of prosperity and enterprise, are equally interested. Advancement iu one branch of industry, has its relative influence upon all others. The constitution of society is such, that there is an intimate relation and mutual dependence between the different departments and avocations of life. As man is unable to sever the ties of social fraternity,and live in his little world of self, isolated and alone—so it is impossible for one trade or profession to exist independent of all others. There is a secret chord of sympathy connecting every branch of domestic industry, which vibrates in unison only when the interests of all areequallv promoted.

The interests of one part of community—the interest of the entire community—is a fundamental rule of political economy, which istrue, both in its theoretical and practical results. The interests of the farmer are identified with the interests of the mechanic, and .as the one is industrious and enterprising, the other is successful. Production and consumption are offsprings of one common law, and are always found sustaining the same relation—the one regulating and giving direction to the other, and always occupying parallel positions.

The earth is our common parent, from whose exhaustless table, the nations receive their daily bread. The history of Agriculture, is the history of man. At first, scarcely deserving a name, it has steadily advanced with the progress of civilization, ever bearing the features of society in each succeeding age. It lives with the history of every generation, while its humble achievements are recorded with the heroic deeds of earth's proudest champion. Its prosperity, is the prosperity of nations— and its decline is read upon their ruin and decay. Its mission is to develope Nature's resources and appropriate them to the comfort and happiness of man. In the accomplishment of this mission—it makes the desert and baren places of earth fruitful—it braves the inhospitable wildness—builds cities battles down the partition walls of national prejudice, creates and sustains commerce, and opens up a healthy interchange of friendly communication between the nations of the earth. The study of the nature and the properties of the soil, is elevating in its character, its cultivation honorable and praiseworthy.

The characters and dispositions of men are moulded and fashioned to a great degree by their particular pusuits of life. The farmer is taught lessons of prudence and economy from the legible hand-writing of Nature he learns the principles of charity and benevolence from the benignity of Heaven displayed in fruitful fields and golden harvests. The farmer is free because he is independent. He breathes the pure air of heaven, uncontaminated with the poisonous vapors of the crowded city. The elements are his messengers, sent to aid and comfort him. His blessings are scattered with the rays of the morning's sun, and descend in the geutle shower, while the dews silently distilled from heaven, arc so many drops of gold. The soil beneath his feet, is.his great depository, and in his hands the key that will reveal her hidden stores.

But at the very thrcshhold of life the edict, "by the sweat of thy brow thou shalt earn thy bread," is tluindred in our cars. Man was mnde, not to be a motionless, feelingless, stupid thing—a drone among his fellows, and a stumbling block to society. Heaven has given him a head to think a heart to feel, and hands to work. The same kind Providence who endowed him with these faculties, has not, thrown him into existence.w thou any thing lion which to exert ami improve those" powershas also provided a multiplicity of objects and an ample supply of materials. Labor is the only road that leads to honor and to fame— to labor, is to live to bo idle, is to die. The earth isourcommon inheritance,yet it requires the application of toil and industry, before the rich provisions of the same can he realized. If men would reap, they must sow if they would gather, they must plant and cultivate—such is the economy of God, and the stern and inflexible law of enlightened husbandry. There is system in everything, and nothing is without order order is harmony, and system is success. The seasons come ami go iu accordance with certain laws, and the planets have their allotted spheres, from which they never vary or depart. The vegetable kingdom equally exhibits the power of this great governing principle as we see displayed in the harmony of worlds. It is no work of chance that your corn grows— that your wheat, ripens—that oats sown at the proper time, will produce oats but on the other hand, we have a moro satisfactory demonstration of this truth, from the fact, not only that one species of grain will produce a similar species, but that it will be similar in all particulars—a counterpart of the original from whence it germinated.

But Agriculture, like the arts and sciences, to be successfully prosecuted, must l»e studied. As the chemist analyzes metals to ascertain their composition and component parts, so must fhe agriculturist analyze the soil to ascertain its properties and "their adaptation. There is a little more of science in the successful cultivation of the soil, than the world is aware of, or readily admits. There has been a class of men designated as farmers, in every age of the world—hut the signification we in the present age, attach to this part of our community. is far more extensive—embracing new duties and other obligations.

The lerm agriculture, is derived from two Latin words, ayrr, a field, and cullurn, cultivation and in this limited sense it was recognized by the Romans, and since by many barbarous as well as civilized nations.

In the enlarged aud more Comprehensive sense, to be a farmer, is something more than merely to till the soil—to make ourself an ignominious slave, toiling from morning until eve ning, to obtain a scanty subsistence. Agriculture is ennobling, dignifying, and will elevate its true worshippers far above the condition of the degraded serf yet its dignitv cannot be so distorted as to embrace a particular class of men who are pleased to style themselvesynttkmenly farmer*, polidked farmrr*, refined farmers* who in truth entertain a sovereign contempt foi everything that savors of labor, and whose «i factory organ* partake of the acuteness which a young lady 1 once heard of attributed to li rs, when she declared that "*ke could smell« «cm* lb* Public Sqtutrr.'"

The present age is peculiarly favorable to the advancement of the agricultural interests of our country. The rapid growth of our popnl.* iin the increase of immigration from foreign countries the settlement of our western lands our foreign relations the progress of M-ienee the facilities of trade and commerce, And the inventions and discoveries of the day, all have a powerful and salutary influence no

And as'to where it will commence, it will begin upon every man's farm it will be then and there that this greit work will take its origin. And as to the manner in which this object is to be effected, it will be by diligence, effort, and

appropriation of the facilities which the pre* ent age affords, to some good account. Connected with this responsibility, there is a duty, and hence the necessity why this great enterprise should receiveour friendly aid and hearty approbation, and not be treated with neglect and indifference. As the means of improvement increase, so does the responsibility and the sad results consequent upon their abuse or misaf plication.

There are some influential, respectabl® farmers even now, who think they areenjoving the extent, of their privileges, when by the most assiduous labor they produce from fifteen to twenty bushels of corn per acre, and half that amount of wheat,—whose entire cost of agricultural implements consists of a plow, two hoes, a sickle and Hail—who are coutent with living as their fathers lived, laboring under the same disadvantages, and receiving the same scanty rewards for their labors. There is a strong inclination in others, to reject every innovation and improvement, simply I12cau.se it is new. Such a spirit is a bar to all progress and advancement such a spirit if it had full sway, would leave the plow standing in the field of promise—drive the mechanic from his trade—dry up the fires of genius, and paralyze the nerves of energy and enterprise. A happy thing for t^ie world that we have but a few of such men, and that their influence, as well as their number, is growing beautifully less.

Agriculture is becoming a subject of universal importance, and as a branch of domestic economy, its influence upon the Welfare of society and the policy of government, is deeply felt and duly appreciated. The public press is wielding a powerful and successful influence in its behalf—an influence that is irresistible, and will prevail. Labor, both mental and physical is enlisting publicsentimentand public approbation. State organizations are formed for the promotion and encouragement of all branches of industry. The voice of the working millions arises in one triumphant chorus from the cast, from the west, from the north, and from the south. State and county industrial exhibitions nre the subject matter of nearly every newspaper of the day. It is now the husbandman is entering upon his reward—and the mechanic is rejoicing over the results of his labor.

Thrice honored be that people who can point with a conscious pride to the plow, the loom, and the work-shop, the proudest, the surest guaranties of power opd political preferment,, whose free-broad acres sparkle with the habitations of toiling millions whose morning anthem is tuned to the plow-boy's patriotic whistle, and repeated at, even-tide by the reaper's homeward glee. This is national greatness this is national glory.

The exhibit,ion we have witnessed here today is a fair demonstration of your strong devotion to this great, and glorious cause. Here are the first offerings of the farmer, and the choicest Specimens of the skill and industry of the mechanic. Their respective merits hespeak their own praise far belter than feeble language can express it. These are some of the fruits of diligence and industry, and humble as they may be, they are tltte best, commentary that, could be pronouncra upin the energy ami enterprise ot our county/'

What sacrifice can any good citizen lay upon the altar of his country, greater than his labor for his country's good It, is all the patriot and statesman can do and from the jirivate citizen nothing more is required.

We trust, that, this brief interview of the farmers and mechanics of our county, may result in a mutual benefit—that it will inspire in each new zeal and.courage—ami that this occasion will be tho dawning of a new and more prosperous era in the annals of agriculture in our county. It is high time, we, as a county, had ascertained our true position in agricultu-1 ral importance. In fertility of soil and natural

counties excel lis, and our mechanics for skill, proficiency and persevering industry, are inferior to none in the.west but in agriculitiral improvement and scientific husbandry, we have superiors. And how shall we account for this? What ground of defence can be offered. by way of palliation or excuse?

In the face of tiiis reproachable fact, who is willing that,

4snch

an imputation phould rest

upon our character? Who does not, at least feel a deep anxiety to have this stain removed You must give the response—the means are in your hands, aud the resulls subject to your control. 1 trust your ambition to elevato, to honor and to advance the farming interests of the county, is commensurate with your acknowledged ability. You are the lortfs of your own sovereignty—the architects of your own happiness—tho soil is yours, and all the necessary facilities for improvement and cultivation, arc within your reach.

The question fs not what it will cost to improve your farms—but what will be tlic advantages. When any great and laudable object is to be accomplished, shall men stop to calculate -the expense iu dollars and cents—j to ascertain the precise amount of labor requi-' site, and abandon it because inconvenient, orl Goods, Notions, Hats, Caps, Boots, expensive?
