IMPEACHMENT.
Elsewhere will be found the details, at ;
length, of the vote upoD the 11th article of j
Impeachment, a.s developed on last Satur- !
day. As will be seen, it was lost by a single i
vote, and that the vote upon the other ar- j
tieles, has been deferred until Alonday the j
2Gth, inst. This adjournment was necessa
ry in view of the sick Senators in attend- i
anee, who could not have remained in at
tendance until the vote would have been i
reached upon all the articles, which would i
have taken at least eight or ten hours, and j
the fact that a number of Senators and Rep
resentatives, desired to attend the Chicago j
Convention. The Senators who betrayed j
the Republican party were Trumbull of
Illinois, Fessenden of Alaine, Henderson of
Alissouri, Grimes of lowa. Ross of Kansas.
Fowler of Tennessee and Van Winkle of
West A irginia. These gentlemen, for rea
sons best known to themselves, saw fit to
enter into a conspiracy to defeat a great,
remedial measure, which was instituted to
remove a man from the position of Chief
Magistrate, who had abused the trust re
posed in him, after they had, by their
votes and their actions, time and again, so
declared. Their attempted justification,
up to this time, is not satisfactory, and the
country will ht>ld them to a strict accounta
bility for their treaehery.
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
The Chicago Convention assembled on '
last Wednesday. Up to the time we go to j
press we are not informed iu regard to its j
action. But no one doubts for a single I
moment that Gen. U. S. Grant will ho !
nominated by acclamation, or on the first
ballot. The Vice Presidency is somewhat :
in doubt. The latest intelligence indicates ;
that the contest will be between Wade j
and Colliix. We are glad to know that the |
contest is between two men of no doubtful
record. The country will do honor to Hselfi
by honoring either of them. It may lie j
that the contest may wax too warm and ai
compromise candidate may be selected. If i
this should lie the case save us from any I
man who has not the backbone of Stanton, j
Vice-Presidents are da na<reus things in i
a political point of views.
THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
It will be seen, by reference to another ;
column, that the Chairman of the Ilepubli. j
can County Committee has issued a call for
the Annual Republican County Convention, j
to suggest the names of persons for Alem- |
ber of Congress, Additional Law Judge i
and Alembcr of the General Assembly, and
to place in nomination a Republican Coun- !
ty Ticket to be supported by the Republi- '
can party in this County, and to select a j
new County Committee; to be held on the
9th of June, proximo. The time inter- ,
vening between the issuing of this call and <
the time fixed for the selection of delegates j
is icry short. The Committee was, no j
doubt, actuated by a desire to bring about ■
as speedy an organization, after the Chica- ;
go Convention, as possible. This is exceed I
ingly wise, as wc cannot get the canvass j
under way any too soon. Again, had the i
Convention been called a few weeks later, j
our farming population would be so closely j
engaged with their pursuits, that they!
could not give the matter that attention, j
which the selection of delegates to hold a
Convention should have. But as it is. will'
that attention be given to it that is requi
site to insure a proper expression of the ,
great body of the Republicans of this coun
ty ? This is the all important question.
\Y e very frequently hear men complain
that tho right men are not placed in nomi
nation, and that Conventions disregard ■
the wishes of the people in the adoption of
unwholesome measures, yet these grumblers |
have not done a single iota to bring about :
a different result. The only way for these
fault-finders to do, and their name is legion,
is to attend the delegate elections and see
that good, reliable and sound men are nom
' mated and elected for delegates. As it now !
is, the majority of our substantial and
reliable citizens, seldom attend delegate
elections, and have no hand whatever in
the selection of persons to represent their
\ lews; and those who have little or no in
terest at stake, who care only for self, are
allowed to select the delegates, who, very
hsely, beloDg to the same class Then if
the bt men hare not been nominated, I
and t a views of the responsible part of the
community have not been represented, who !
are to blamt Common sense will answer
tne question.
We know, very well, that there is a vast
amount of imposition in the delegate sys
*m ' and do c °t mean to be understood as '

the nomination, which he has purchased,

tion votes in favor of it. This is more like
ly to be the case than otherwise. AA'c can
didly believe the delegate system to be the
fruitful source of bribery and corruption,
which can only be remedied by a system
which will permit every man to east his
ballot lor the man who, he thinks, would
be the man for the place, and that ballot
should count one in the aggregate towards
his nomination. Of course a system of this
kind would have to be regulated by some
well defined rules, so as to make it work
harmoniously.
Until such a system is adopted—a system
which will not take from the hands of the
many and put into tho hands of the few —
our Republican friends are earnestly urged
to attend the delegate elections, and see
that the most respon.-ible mcu in the differ
eat districts arc selected for delegates, and
then we have no fear that they will fail to
put good men on the ticket. The time is
very short. Act immediately.
THE CAUSE OF INDIVIDUAL
TREACHERY TO THE HE-
I'L HI. I CAN PARTY,
Lord Bacon somewhere has said, "ambi
tious men, if they find the way open for
their rising, and still get forward, they are
rather busy than dangerous; but, if they he
cheeked iu their do-ires, they become se
cretly discontent, and look upon men and
matters with an. evil eye, and are best pleased
when things go backward." If this emi
nent philosopher had livel in the year A. I>.
IS6B. instead of several hundred years previ
ously. aud had been closely scrutinizing tho
actions of men, during tho trial of Andrew
Johnson for "High Crimes and Misde
meanors," he could not have laid down the
rale of human conduct, as regards tho ac
tions of ambitious nun. as a c' I >ve
I clearly than he did in the above quoted
memorable words. The persons to whom
we allude, are the men who, on more than
one occasion, signified their approval of the
very measures which were adopted to bring
I a usurping President to Justice, an-l after
I having given their unqualified approval of
| the extreme measure- inaugurated, found
| r liat they could not further their own -elfish
purposes, their own advancement, and rath
er than see others advance, they del mined
1 to pull down the pillars of the temple of their
friends and partizans, and bury all in one
! common ruin.
It lias beeu the great misfortune oi" the
i Republican party to be weighed down with
I ambitious men. whom it has delighted to
honor; and for trusting too in
them, it has "paid dearly, very dearly for
the whistle." It has been more unfortu
nate. in this respect, than any other party
I that has existed previously to it. This can
j only be attributed to the fact, that in a few
I years after its organization, it became the
[leading, triumphant party of the country,
1 and those who were ever seeking place.
vaulted on to it. in exjiectation ofrcaping a
I rich harvest of office, which they could not
I .lo in any of the old organization-. The
Republican.-, we mean the original Republi
i cans, those who had the nianliti -• and
I courage to announce their principles to the
I world without "fear, favor or affection."
I were glad to receive them as acquisitions to
the hosts of freedom, and iu hundreds of'
instances, they stood aside and made room
for the elevation of these ambitious newcom
ers. No set of men have been so shame
fully neglected as those who first flung the
banner of Fremont to the breeze. Tliey
were the pioneers of a now movement, and
made it respectable, but they were to enjoy
a very few of its reward-. There is hardly
a corporals guard of those live men in the
country to-day, who are received as Repre
sentative Republican--. Almost all posiiions
of profit are filled with men who cursed and
denounced the Republicans as a "Negro Par
ty." until it became the winning party, ami
then they swallowed the Negro as readily
as a hawk would swallow a fish. The-.- are
general facts, and it is iu this light we speak
of them, and wo leave it to the experience \
of the country to -ay whether we are not
correct.
Two great evils have . resulted from this,
which can alone explain the misfortune of
the Republican party. First, leading ovigi
ginal Republicans have been compelled to
stand aside to make room for those who
have thrust themselves into the party, and
they have felt the injustice of this prefer
ment and have become soured, and event
ually not standing tip to the work, accord
ing to a standard fixed by those who dis
placed them, they have been unceremoni
ously kicked out of the party, and of course
they have used all their endeavors to des
troy it; and. secondly, those who have
scrambled into the party, at the eleventh
hour and been elevated to place, finding
they cannot -■ - ure further elevation, fin e
about and kif " the men who were-rapid
enough to elevate them, and endeavor to
draw the party down with them in their
fall.
If the Republican party will learn wisdom
from this, the experience will not be too
dearly purchased, but if it will go on in the
same manner, as it hits done heretofore, it
cannot Ire many years until it must give
way to -orne more prudent organization.
The admonitory words of Lord Bacon, when
speaking of ambitions men. arc; "Let states
choose such ministers as arc more sensible
of duty than of rising, "and such as love bu
siness rather upon conscience than upon
bravery.
LAST Saturday wa a day of considerable
interest, nil partie- desired to know what
would be tho upshot of Impeachment. The
Republicans were nervous and the Demo
crats in doubt; though the latter appeared
to have less at stake than the former, and
consequently had the advantage. AY hen
the announcement of the vote was received,
the Democrats jeered us considerably, aud
demonstrated, that if they did care very
little for the fate of Andrew, that the Re
publican party had been defeated in one of
its great objects, and therefore they had a
right to be jubilant. However, when they
cime to realize that they had won the
elephant, they were sorely troubled to know
what to do with him, and ihcy, no doubt,
bitterly cursed his luck in their heart?.
Whatever might be the result of impeach
ment, they saw in it very little comfort for
the Democratic party; and much less in
| Andy's acquittal than in his conviction.
AA'E learn that our neighbor of the Ga
zette, B. F. Aleyers, Esq., is to become the
editor and proprietor of the Harrisburg
Patriot and Union, about the fir -t of June.
AY-j congratulate ou;- coteiuyorwy up.n bis
good fortune in securing the control of the
leading central Democratic organ in the
State, and though we set up no pretensions
to prophesy, wc plainly predict that lie will
make it one of the first Democratic papers
in the country. Since there will be Demo
cratic papers, we know of no one who can
find more plausible sophistry for the support
of the Democratic party, than our neighbor.
AVe wish him abundant pecuniary success,
and as for his politics, we hope they may
only work tho political discomfiture of him
self and friends. "This and nothing more."

THE SCENE IN THE SENATE ON
SATURDAY.
From a special despatch to tho Phila.
WASHINGTON, May 17, Itsos.
At eleven 6'clock, on Saturday, m ark
two thousand spectators looked down on the
Senate floor, nervously, impatiently await
ing the hour when the final vote on the ar
ticles of impeachment was to bo taken. At
half past seven tho Senate met. Nearh
every bench wa- occupied, and when Mr.
('onkling appeared, the Republican - took
hope and con--elation. Senator Howard wa
ubsent, but then Mr. Grimes was away too.
Between half past eleven and twelve the:,
was some dull, dry routine li iialation, it the
introduction of resolutions and land bids
may be termed a- such. At twelve o clock,
Benjamin F. Wade left the chair, and the
Chief Justice took the vacated seat. He
called the Senate to order a- a gourt. cud
the sergeant-at-arms made the usual procia
uiation. Tlien the galleries were warned
that if then-' vis - the tlighti: :: interrup:] -u
they would be cleared. Senator AA'iUinui
moved that the Court proceed to rote on the
eleventh article first. Mr. Howard entered
the Chamber at this time in evidently a very
feeble condition, iind the Republican im
peachment rank- were full. Grime- wa
absent, but nobody mis-'-d him except the
President s friends. The galleries v.-..-
now hushed into breathle-- silence. Tim
Secretary began to call the roll; it vr the
opening of the buttle, the exchange of Ire;
between the picket lines. Anthony doubt
ful) at once put an end to al! uncertainty a
to his position by v.-ting aye; it resulted ::!
yeas to 19 nays. The vote was regard •!
generally as a measure of strength, thou; h
it in no way iuvohed the question of guilt
or innocence. Tito Chief Justice then •'st
and directed the Si -rotary to read the <b v
enth article. At the conclusion Mr. Cha
again roe and read from a piece of pup< .
Air. Senator Anthony, how -av ygu. is iter
respondent Andrew Johnson, Pre-idem <l
the United States, guilty or not guilty of a
high misdemeanor as charged in tbi- !:
cle?" Mr. Anthony's voice fait red ad 1
head trembled. Air. (rriino.i was brought
into tho chamber at this time, and teak a
-eat near the side door, here wa- another vote
against convection. Mr. Anthony -I
while the question was being pronounce 1.
AH eyes were centered on liim, and ev< :y
neck was stretched to catch the first -ylla
ble upon which so much depended. Firm
ly and decidedly he at: svercd "Guilty,"
and the first doubtful Senator was no lon
ger doubtful. Then came the question
again to Bayard, and the President got one
ballot in his favor. It counted two, how
ever, under the two thirds rule. Buck-.! -w
followed on the same side. When the Chief
Justice .-aid "Air. Senate" Cameron," tin
venerable Senator ru-e promptly, but n
so calm as he usually is. It was evid nt
that now his earnestness had per 1 ! >
excitement. Before Air. Chase had c -m
--pleted the question, Mr Cameron wa- ready
with his answer— Guilty," ho said, with
an emphasis which showed that his h< in
was for conviction, and soon through tie
list to Fowler; here was the next doubtful
man. He had a cringing, skulking kind n!
a manner. The Chief Justice put the (jm -
tion. lie nervously rubbed his lips with
his black gloved hand and answered IU a to
tally indistinct voice. Sumner, two or three
benches away, looked scornfully at him, an .
said, "We cannot hear the gentleman."
Hespoke alittlemore loudly, "Not guilty."
It may be that at that moment he renum
bered his own words, if we refuse to de
pose Andrew Johnson the blood of the loyui
men slain in the Mouth will be en our
souls." When Ross was called on the ex
citement was intense. lie had apj i 1
excessively nervous and frightened all the
morning, and wa< constantly busy ;io tear
ing white paper Into small fragment-, till
the floor around liirn was like snow. "Not
guilty," said Air. Boss, and it was felt that
Impeachment was dead on the eleventh ev
title, for no one depended on the honesty
|of Van Winkle. Mr. Ross had reason fir
| his fears, for I have it from the highest
1 authority that on Friday night, at the < n
fcrenee at Senator Pomeroy's the renegade
Senator from Kansas placed his name on
the list and promised to vole fur the second,
third, fourth and eleventh articles. He had
been brought over to the President on Sat
urday morning, and no man in the Senate
was guilty of a more dihberate and coward
ly treachery—he concealed his intention - up
to the last moment. He says that ha do -
not care to go back to Kansas. That im
peachment is not abandoned the adjourn
ment of the court to the liCrh proves. Af
ter the defeat of the eleventh article, consid
ered the strongest, the lmpeacliers wanted
time to consider, but it is probable now that
the whole thing is dead. A vote will pro
bably be taken on each article, end the men
put on record, but the President is not like
ly to be removed.
The Bard of Managers held a consulta
tion last night, and were again this everting
deliberating upon the course to be pursued j
in the investigation of the alleged bribery
and corruption of Senators. A brother *ofj
Senator Ross was before them last evening,
and it is asserted that they are on the tra-. k
I of some very important and startling transac
tions. They will have a meeting, to morrow :
for the examination of certain parties who j
made themselves particularly conspicuous:
during the trial in upholding the President's
side of the case. Senator Fowler, who lived
in the same house with Col. Forney, has
changed his residence and gone over to a
Copperhead hotel in Georgetown, where j
Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, rooms. Air.
Henderson has also engageJrooms at the
same hotel.
The defeat of the eleventh article has
ceased to be the excitement of Washington. ;
The talk to day is of the new party,, of
which it is said Chief Justice Cha o > is to be !
the leader and the candidate. These ru- :
mors are complicated with others which
suggest that Afr. Chase and his friends are [
in treaty for the Democratic nomination. 1
| give you these rumors simply as a report of
1 what is going on in the Capital, not as facte
j for which I can vouch. This is what is said
Iby the prominent Republicans. First the
; conspiracy on the part of Messrs. Fes-en
; den, Trumbull A Co., includes not merely
the defeat of impeachment, but of the Re
publican party and of the candidates of the
| Chicago Convention. So far as Mr. Chase j
I Uconcerned, it h known, for ho does not j
' be. bate to say, that he holds that the lie- i
j publican party lias been led in a wrong di- j
I reetion, i.nd that ho has always been t.ppo-
I sod Jo impeachment. Ho has not abau
j doned these principles, which he claims to
ibe Republican. lie believes in universal
! suffrage and in universal amnesty.
Within the last few days Mr. Chase has
I stated that if the Republican party should
! per.-ist in its present path, a now party
| would inevitably be organised. That the
Republican party is unlikely in the extreme
to modify its polio*. while Andrew Johnson
] is in power, must be plain to every one who i
knows tho feeling of the- people and of j
Congress. It is logical to believe that the
new organization will be effect ••!. 11 -ides
tbi- it is certain that Mt. -i.-. Trumbull,
I'\ ssondan. IleudersoQ, and their blows,
will never again be trit t.d by the party
. tlicy have bet rave d. The CSricago Con
vention will dial with them u d.-.- iters.
Th '-o gen'leniep having f en tunc d cut of"
the .Republican party, with little hope of
getting into the Democratic, will tiritn rally
desire to uiake a political purgatory of their
own. Mr. Trumbull expect to e.i;ry a
large portion of the vote of Illinois. \Virh
•him Mr. Fes-et) kn hasgu at lakh in bis
influence ov-- r Maine, and Mr. Henderson
has openly expressed his conviction that
the defeat of impeachment would !,.• en
thusiast ical'v received by the people. They
will cheerfully unite with any of! . t to make
a conservative p;uiy Which .-ha!! b .in the
control of the ••! i o-t d ore! office 'holders.
The young aspiring souls of the 11 ; ul.ican
party, the leaders who ..ithin a few years
have sprung from the people, are to be
driven from power, 'iVe t w patty will
not oppose the admis-'ou of the .Sautht-rn
States, in fact, they pre ! i them admitted
immediately. They ,y lira; Mr. Chase
will earrv a very iar j ~. of the colored
vote. The P. iJ.-r-t.J ' :id,i. ;. ha age

Another of the report is that t!.. v, rty ;
is simply a liu'.l-way lions- at which Mr. j

Democrats of inSn.nc - have declare <! In his !

imously adopted:
I V," ii ere as, the members of the Xlepublic

t vinccd that Andrew Johnson is guilty-of
high crimes and misdemeanor-, with which j
he stands charged before the Impeachment
Court, constituted in accordance with the
laws of the country, and that the alarming
state of affairs as they now seem to exist at

therefore, be it

there can be no peace, no safety, no respect

About Locnslft.
A correspondent of the Doylestown Demo
crat, who seem# to be well, informed ol the
time of coming and the habits ofthe seven
teen years' Locust, furnishes that paper
with the following article on the subject,
which may prove interesting to some of our
young readers:
"Locusts make their appearance once in
every seventeen years, the writer haviug
had the opportunity of seeing them three
times, viz: in 1817, 1834, and 1851, and out
of curiosity the last time was led to watch
their movements. As they appeared in 1851
they will uppeur again this year, about the
23d or 24th of May, or perhaps a few days ]
sooner or later, owing to the state of the
weather. They make their appearance one
or two days sooner on the sunny side of a
hill than on the north. They open a hole
through the surlace of the ground about
two days before they come out. At the end
of that time, in the afternoon, about an
hour aud a half or two hours before sunset,
they make their appearance on the top of
the ground, and the first thing they can
reach, whether a brush, a tree, a stake, or
even grass, or anything else strong enough
to bear them, they climb up from one to two
or even as high as twelve fcot from the
ground. As soon as they are satisfied as to
the height they can go, they fasten their
feet, and immediately begin to rupture on
the back, a process which goes on very
slowly. In about twenty-five minutes it
works its head and six lees out of tho shell;
as ,-oon as this is done it lets itself back,
hanging at about right'angles with its old
shell, apparently almost dead, and so
fatigued for a time a - to be entirely unable
to help itself. In this position it remains
nearly an hour, until it has gained strength,
when it reaches up, gets hold of its old
she 1 with its two front feet, and draws itself
upon the top of the shell, and at the same
time draw- out its hind parts. At from !
mere nothing, to their full size, which this t
liniment itn wiugs bugiti to grow or enlarge
takes exactly ten minutes. They keep coui
iug out* of the ground, at the above named,
hours, every afternoon, and at no other time I
in the day, until about the 7th day ofJune,
when no more leave the ground. In 1851.
tho writer observed an odd one leave the
ground on the 18th day of June. They
commence depositing their eggs in the bark
or on the limbs of every kind of tree, ex
c. ) t pine, cedar, or any of those that con
tain turpentine, from about the 15th to
the 25th days of June. They will remain
with us until about the first of July, when
they di' off and will not appear aga'n until
May, 1 885. Locusts are now to be fouro?
in the ground from four to eight inches deep
with their heads upward, preparatory to
coming through the surface. They can only
l>e found under trees that have stood seven
teen years, or where timber stood at that
time. There will be fewer locusts every
time, they appear, on account of the scarcity
of timber."
SCOFIKLD—WOODWARD. —At theclose of
one of the fierce debates which now daily
occur in (longrcss. Judge Woodward ap
proached .1 udge Scofiold and said —"1 <s
fact to lirr to sti this Gotmemrui fall to
piecm." This was uttered with all the
hauteur peculiar to Woodward. He spake
it like a fiat, and no doubt he expected at
that instant to hear tho crash of the dome
of the eapitol falling on the marble pave
ment beneath. The supercilious sympathi
zer with treason was regarded but an in-tant
by Judge Scofield, who, glowing with indig
nation, at once scathingly replied to Wood
ward — "AND I, srtt, EXPECT TO LIVE TO
SEE THE DAY WHEN VOC ARE AN INMATE
OF AN INSANE ASYLI I." Had lightning
descended from the brilliant glass ceiling of
the House and struck Woodward on the
head, he would not have wilted sooner than
he did beneath the electrical keenness of
Scofield's retort. — State Guard.

FA rtitors will please look at the great advantage
in Thrashing Grain with
GEISERS' PATENT SELF-RKGULA
TING GRAIN SEPARATOR,
CLEANER AND BAGGER.
With the latest Improved Tripple-Geared llorre
Power, driven either by Gear or Belt.
No. I is a eight-horse power, with east iron
thresher frame and wrought iron and wood cylin
der, sixteen inches in diametei and thirty-three
inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and
seven rakes is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv
ers the straw on the second rake, these carry the
straw out on their lops, and deliver it on the
*tack or. which will deliver about thirty five feet
beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen
feet high, and can be easily managed to carry
the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa
rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed,
10 confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi
culties in cleaning grain against windy weather.
It bags the grain by reasonable management, suf
• ficiently clean for market, and its capacity, under
ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty
bushels per hour, using eight horses and the same
number of hands; but to force the work under
favorable circumstance, it will thresh from forty
to fifty bushels per hour, and with more case and
agreeableness to bands than any other machine
now in common use.
The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's
u.-e: in intending to apply to any common lever
or railway power; weighs 1,300 pounds: has an
iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12i inches in
diameter and 28 inches long; delivers the clean
grain in bac?, or if desired, in a half bushel. It
delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or
if desired, can deliver tie straw and chaff togeth
er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, ready for
market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from
300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, utdng four or
six horses, and the same number of hinds: but to
force the work, uuder most favorable lireun
etam-os, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean
considerable more. The Machine will thresh and
clean all kinds of grain.generally threshed with
I the common machine, and requires no more horse
power, but in many ease* docs not run so
hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
j way power.
Now here is what the Farmer and thrc-herman
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
thra.-h grain, with more satisfaction than any
other separator now in use, and why is it? Be
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast,
which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff,
and also ba? a self regulating feeder to feed the
cleaner and it has rollers and combs in the clean
;cr which prevents it from choaking. Why does
j this machine run so light, and give so little rrou
. ible? Because there ibices friction in the Jour
: nals, and the rakes and fan arc get red so that you
j have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping,
j causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why docs it
clean against the wind? Because the blast has
! direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so
; well arranged that the wind has ro chance to
, drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built
permanently on two wheels and the front car
j riage separate, ready to attach whe-i necessary ?
Because it is more convenient in the barn without
j the front carriage. YOJ can turn the machine or
' ; run it from place to place more easily. Why has*
it not got Elevators like some other machines?
Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know,
that filth should he "kept separate for feed, Ac.,
wo might as well keep shoveling tbe Tailings
from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex
pect to get the grain clean. Why is this sepa.a
tor more cleaner and satisfae'ury to woA about
than others? Bee-use the Fan and Trunk Sh'es
are closed up to p-event the wheat chaff and dust
from com in g out rnu scattering over the floor,
causing waist and giving much troub'e with dirt
and soie eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get
more work with these separators than they do
with others? Because this separator ha* all thc.-e
advantages and many more, which makes it a
! separator suitable and a paying one for all
farmers and Thrashermen that have grain to
j thrash, whilst in moat cases fanners must suit
i th'uuselves to the machine, because the machine
: w .li not uit itself to the farmer. In short, this
I is the cheapest, must durable, reliably, simple and
nest agreeable to work about and the only separ
ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently
clean for market under all circumstances*.
[ Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no humbug, and judging from the high recom
mendation of farmers that arc using them, we
must come to tbe conclusion that it is the very
Machine that farmers want and will have as soon
u.* they have an opportunity to appreciate and
attest its merits, for which we hope they will give
us aa opportunity, as we'arc willing to be respon
sible if it does not perform a? represented in this
Circular. Shop pricct of Jlachinst ranye from
$215, to $5lO.
JS-gTWe warrant the machines to be a s above
represented: also against any reasonable defects
of material workmanship, Ac.
