ValentinK'8 Tat., Aug. l, These cuts roproaont ono of tlio most usoiia articles of its kind yet voTited, and supplies a want that has \o\\% been felt. Every one enj^aged in piekiiif? fniit knows the difficulty of detaching the fruit from the hranch and depositing it in the basket or other l eceptacle for receiving it without bruising the fruit, and particirlarly with Grapes, unless very great care is exercised, each buiu^h will be more or less injured. The tool is a pair of shears arranged with an elastic holdfastthat cuts the stem and holds it so that the fruit can be deiwsited in the receptacle for receiving it without touching it with the hands. It will take the smallest cherry, or hold a bunch of grapes weighing five pounds. For picking oranges, where the branches are full of thorns, it will save many a hard word. For large pears and cJioice fruit of any kind, it is an invaluable assistant.
