Among the prin cipal articles which he makes, may be enu merated jugs, pitchers, vases, flower pots, milk pots, cake and pie dishes, the finer qualities of which are very handsome speci mens of work, elaborate and ornamental in their construction and finish. The many modern improvements made in the ancient art of pottery have vastly enhanced the business as a branch of manufacture, and instead of it being confined as formerly to the pro duction of a few homely species of pots and jugs, its designs have assumed a variety and artistic perfection which would have aston ished the ancient Egyptians, who appear to have made the business a specialty at a very early period in the history of the" world's manufactures. city and present In the Friendship Engine of their Mass meeting on August 29, 1870.

Ia the centre of tho frame is "A tcsti monial to the Friendship Engine, No. 4, of The establishment of Mr. Shenfelder is commodious, and provided with superior facilities for turning out the best work. The building is of frame, three stories, and is 35 by 90 feet.

Steam power is employed for pre paring tne materials, rne stone ware is made from what is known as the Amboy clay," one of the numerous useful species of soils with which New Jersey abounds, though not entirely peculiar to that state, which is of a pasty, tenacious character, capable of being moulded to any extent in its plastic state, but when baked, as hard as most varieties of stone. The earthenware is made from the ordinary red clay, a common article, almost as plentiful as the material for brick. Mr. Shenfelder obtains his supply from Leb anon county. The material after being soaked, is first mixed and leiciicred in mills which grind and knead it lo the proper consistency, after which it is strained in a cylindrical iron press, the piston of which forces it through a wire sieve at the bottom, this process freeing the clay from or other exttancous matter.

The operation of shapine the ware upon the lathes is an ingenious one, nnd is very dexterously erfornicd by the work men. There are three lathes, each of which revolves the lump of clay on a circular hori zontal platform. These lathes are impelled the foot, the different parts of the opera. tion requiring sometimes a greater and sometimes a less degree of speed, which could not be secured by the employment of steam power. Ulic moulding is conducted entirely by the material, after being weighed.

to secure uniformity for the different kinds of article manufactured, is shaped in a very neat and artistic manner, now narrowed and now widened to suit the purpose of the design. It is indeed a system of rapid sculpture. Those who would know how the smooth in side walls of a nt'jne jug, with a mouth small enough to cork, are shaped by slight of hand, must witness the operation to understand its mysteries. A guage, with holes for pegs, is used as a guide to the work' man in regulating the bight of the vessel. The more ornamental and elaborate articles are wrought in moulds, which is the only method by which the extra liniih can be given them; the balance are all tnrned as above described.

After being wrought into shape, the articles are set up to dry, and after a certain interval, receive the utarap of the manufacturer, after which they are ready to be baked, or "burned," as the potters term it. Previous to the latter operation, however, they are washed inside with a substance which becomes glazed, when exposed to the action of fire, and receive the ornamental blue flowering. There are two large circular kilns of brick, one of which is divided into an upper and a lower compartment. In these kilns, the articles are set in rows on top of each other, fastened together with chucks," or bits of dampened clay. Coke and wood are used for burning, which operation is continued for fifty six hours.

Tho external glaze of this class of vessels is produced by throwing salt into the kiln alter tiie ware has been burned to a body. From the salt a sort of vapor arises, which completely envelopes the contents of the kiln, vitrifying the exterior of the pots, and giving them their glazed appearance The degree of burning is a matter requiring nice discretion, as it is an easy thing to ruin a kiln full of articles perfect in their construc tion. After the fire le withdrawn, the kiln requires about five days to cool sufficiently for the wares to be removed, when the latter are ready for market. Resolution op Thanks.

To Day's Racks. The races to day promised a rare treat to those who are fond of turf sport, A better bill of fare is seldom oflcred for a racing entertainment, as there are three races and each will bring out quite a number of fleet footed coursers.

The first race has eight entries and it being a repent race, the chances are that there will be at least three trials, before it is concluded. Six out of the nnmber are noted for their fleetness, and fast time will undoubtedly be made. The second race will bring out five; they will be re quired to run three times around the course before the heat is finished. This of itself would be a good day's sport, to say nothing of the other two races. The third race is for colts and fillies two years old.

Three very fine and fleet looking young bloods will start in this race; two of them were bred and raised in the blue grass regions of Kentucky, famous for fine horses. The blood of the re nowned Lexington, who ran the great race of four miles at New Orleans, in 7:10 courses through their veins. is a guarantee thattbey will make a creditable performance. and we say to our friends who love to see the thoroughbred In his to visit the course to day.
