NEW INVENTION: A USEFUL APPLIANCE.

One of the most remarkable inventions of tho age, and one likely to startle not only the whole of the colony, but of tho civilised world, lias taken its origin at Kihikihi. Although in past years much has been done in the way of inventing and improving fanning implements and machinery generally; yet, to remedy the inconvenience experienced in loading waggons little attention, if any, has been paid. The right stop in tho right direction has now been taken to provide for this long-neg-lected though important matter by an invention by tho Rev. V. A. Luck, 0.5.1}., wf this place. The invention will prove an object of great utility to farmers nnd all persons engaged in carting farm pro duce, &c. Hitherto a good deal of hard and unploasant Jabour had to be expended ill lifting sacks of potatoes, wheat, &c., from the fields and pits into waggons, to do which two strong mon were required. By means of this invention a mere child could lift five or six hundred sacks a day into a waggon fitted with the new appliance, with very little effort. Moreover, tho new invention has the advantage of being inexpensive and easily put on or removed, about half a minute being sufficient either to place or remove it, and in travelling it is quite out of tho way. In such an invention as this (which the inventor intends to forthwith patent) a fortune should be made ; consequently in effecting a sale of the patent, no difficulty should bo met with. No doubt the name of the patentee, as well as of the quiet little township of Kihikihi, will soon be heard of far and wide.—(Our Kihikihi correspondent).
