THE TTFFIN BORING MACHINE.

(To the Editor Isaxoahua Ti.«e^.)

S<l. — The pertinent renihr!«s of a c >rresoiindent in yi»nr issue '«f the 4.h inHf.ii t, wriiijig under Hie iioui-de-plimte "(Vntion," in reference l«» ihe Tiffin lM»ri.»t» machine, and the liest j?ud surest nifitioil >ti piiispectinir <>nr anri*o-r 'tis i?:*.ii, are well v.f.rlby of consideration. From sill the information I ran »le«n as to the ndaptaMHty of the Titiiu borer to this particular locality, the most reliable evi-fen2e obiainod is wholly advene to its adoption. Bat then, we are advised the. nis>.c!iitie does not cost much, and that we hivt better saiixiy ourselves kr to its merits, l»y t.ryi.i!» it. inferri.iz of course, that ocular demonstration would be proof poMtive. But I presume we are nil fcimilhr wfth the story of Paddy's horse. Wiio h*d hot two fault*, first, he was h;vd to cntch, second, he was no account when caught. Well, the Tiffifi, we arei.iformed, is not hard to catch, as it does not cnst very much; but it might, like Paddy's horse, be no account when caught, consequently it would not be worth having lit any price, and as we have plenty men who Hre of much account, and not hard to catch either, and moreover ahle and willinir to work when caught, I think with 14 Caution " that our monies would be better spent in paying them to do the work instead of. (in nil probability) as 14 Caution " prefigures, purchasing a white elephfiut.

N.B. Wo have one of that character h<>nse<l up already, another of the same would make two, t'*> imny.
