From the Pittsburg Morning Pbst.
On the Death of Little Children.
BY MRS. IQAROAHET K. BROWNE
During the present winter the Angel of Death
has been passing over our city, and many'a play
ful, happy little one, whose innocent mirth had
gladdened many a parents heart, has been taken
from the warm fire-side, to slumber in the quiet
house of the'dead; the cold and silent tomb. Often
has the new fallen snow been displaced to hollow
out the last resting place for little ones, dear to a
parent as their own soul. The diseases ;peculiar
to infancy and childhood, have been unusually fa
tal this winter. Many a door has borne the sign
of mourning and death, and in many papers hive
we read the short and simple words that speak of
the departure of some loved and innocent;child to
the spirit world. Cold and carelessly ate the words
read by the man of the world, that announce to
the world "Charlie or Annie is dead;" but Oh,
what a tale of sorrow do these short funeral noti
ces tell! We have said that disease and death had
been busy among the little children of our city.—
That fearful disease, the Scarlet Fever, has dark
ened the light of many a home. The little dan
cing feet have ceased their gambols, and: many a
bright eye has suddenly been closed in death, many
a fair, rosy cheek has brightened with the fearful
lever, and finally paled into the marble hue of
death. Weeping and woe and desolation have
been in many homes; tears have fallen over sweet
young faces, over whom the coffin lid was about
to close. Soft clustering hair has been fondly
smoothed back, and warm kisses pressed for the
last time on lips froth which the breath of lite hail
passed away forever. There has been bitter, bit
ter weeping, and the sound of the closing coffin,
!the funeral go • ; ),..en,_the sad ride to the open grave,
!and the agoniztrig sound of the fresh earth. on the
coffin that holds the precimis form, so lately cher
ished with a mother's yearning heart, a father's
tender care. It was our lot, some few weeks ago,
!to enter a death stricken home, and behold a scene
ot unusual sorrow. The parents had already'
!mourned the death of two of their cheriShed ones.
They had now two angel daughters in the world
above, when disease made its appearance, and af
ter a short week's suffering the spirit of ;the little
Arabella passed away to join 'the countless num
ber of little children who circle around the throne
of Jehovah. The heart stricken parents turned
from her death bed but to watch the dying strug
gles of their younger darling, whose imploring eyes
turned on them for aid. "So intensely did the poor
child suffer that the weeping mother at last re
joiced to see her at rest, though it was that of
death. Arabella died on Sibbath, and on the fol
lowing day her little sister joined her in Heaven.
The scene was most sad and distressing .as we en
tered the parlor and beheld the two small black
coffins, containing the little sleepers. Here they
lay, wrapped in that strange deep slumber, from
' which nothing but the voice of the Almighty can
arouse. Vet the voice that called these little ones
home. is a voice of gentleness and love. Bereaved
parents look to Jesus. Behold, by the eye of faith,
those precious little ones, in his arms, resting on
that bosom that is even now filled with the most
tender compassion for you. You loved your chil
dren, they have but passed from your lender care
to one who loves them with a far more exceeding
love than yours, with a love that is infinite. Can
you not yield them as jewels for his cross's, the
crown that adorns the brow that was once crown
ed with thorns for you. Are they not safe with
Him? They are not dead, they hav,p changed their
residence, and gone to live with the Lord Jesus—
amid the glory and brightness, the joys and rap
tures of Heaven, are the countless numbers of
' those happy redeemed little ones who always be
hold the face of our Father in Heaven.
ARABELLA AND MATILDA
There was weeping in the chamber,
Each face was full of gloom,
For the gentle Arabella,
Was sinking to the tomb.
Oh. there was bitter weeping, ,
Beside the litte one,
But the sweet, sad eyes, were closing,
Soon the young life was gone. ,
They smoothed the sunny tresses,,
And closed the loving eyes,
And said that " Arabella
Was an angel in the skies."
But she, the sweet Matilda,
The youngest and the pet,
"0 God would spare her to them,
He would not take her yet."
She was her father's darling,
She would watch beside the door,
To meet him when returning,
Were those happy days all o'e r?
Alas, her cheek was paleing,
To her sister's marble hue,
Aml soon her spirit hastened,
To be in Heaven too.
Yet mourn not weeping parents,
Though you see their face no more,
They have joined their little sisters ;.
•
They have only gone before.
Oh, bow in meek submission,
'Neath a father's gentle hand,
And prepare to enter heaven,
And join that happy band.
Opinions of the Press
There is a man up the country whd always pays
for his paper in advance. He has never had a sick
day in his life, never bad any corns ;or toothache;
his potatoes never rot, the weevils never eat his
wheat, the frost never kills his corn or beans, his
babies never cry at night, and his wife never scolds.
—Exchange paper.
And the pigs never break into hiS garden—his
wife never beats him over the head with the broom
—his horses never run away and break things—his
crops never fail—his sons ate good boys—his daugh
ters are all handsome—he always "sleeps sound o'
nights''—never had the nightmare—and if he should
die "with all his sins unrepented of," he would not
be confronted with a printer's account—dark as
Erebus—blackened in his sight like the ancient
hand-writing on the wall. R4der •have you paid
your paper in advance?
Look on that picture, and then look on this.
The man who would cheat the printer ought to
be strangled to death in soft soap. •
If he had a soul, ten thousand of its size would
find more room in a misquitoe's eye than a bull
frog in the Pacific Ocean. He ought to be winked
at by blind people, and kicked to death across logs
by cripples.—Ann Arbor Wolverine,
Exactly so; and that isn't all; he would break a
surveyor's level to get out the alcohol, and break
his wife's watch for the mock jewels; bid against
a widow at her dead husband's auction, and steal
the orphan's shoe-strings before daylight—. Temper
ance Banner.
Yes; thousands of such souls as that man's would
rattle in a mustard seed—dance contra dances on
the point of a wasps sting, or march abreast thro'
the eye of a cambric needle. A solar microscope
would fail to discover them, and when found would
not fill the smallest crammy in creation.—Poste
Yes, and that ain't all. Such a fellow would rob
a lame goose's nest of the last egg,'steal a rats tail
from a blind kitten; for there's nothing low and
mean that he would not do. He 'should be tied to
a broomstick and scolded to death by old maids,
and then his hones should' be made into - buttons to
be worn on the breeches of conviOls.—Rising Sun
lirror. •
Amen ! Such a being would steal a meeting-house
and rob a church yard. He would steal molasses
out of a sick nigger's ginger -cake, take from a drun
ken man's mouth his last chew of tobacco, walk
at night through the rain to deprive a blind sheep
of its fodder, travel fifty miles on a fasting stomach,
to cheat a dying woman out of her coffin, and steal
the wax out of a dead dog's ear. 'Such an unprin
cipleit wretch ought to be tied to a sheep's tail and
butted to death.—York Gazelle.
ONE OF THE Puss.—An advertisement appears
in a western paper which reads as follows:
'Ran away—A hired man named John, his nose
turned up five feet eight inches high; and' hail on a
pair of corduroy pants much worn.'
A Singular Dream
Some - ninety yearsago there flourisheii. in Glas
gow a club of young men, which, from the extreme
profligacy of its members, and the licentiousness of
their orgies, , was commonly called meetings, they
held one grand annual saturnalia, in which each
one tried to excel the other in drunkenness and
blasphemy and on these occasions there was no
star amongst them whose lurid light was more con
spicuous than that of young Mr. Archibald 13., who,
endowed with brilliant talents and a handsome per
son, had held out great promise in his boyhood, and
raised hopes which had been completely frustrated
by his subsequent reckless dissipation.
One morning after returning from an annual fes
tival, Mr. l Archibald B. having retired to bed, dream
ed the following dream :
He fancied that he himself was mounted on a
favorite black horse that he always rode, and he
was proceeding towards his own- house—then a
country seat embowered with trees, and situated
upon a hill, now entirely built over, and forming
part of the city—when a stranger, whom the dark
ness of the night prevented his distinctly discerning,
suddenly seized his horse's rein, saying, 'You must
go with me!'
'And who are you y exclaimed the yPung man
with a volley of oaths, while he struggted to free
himself.
'That you will see by-and-by,' rettirnedthe other .
in a tone that excited unaccountable terror in the
youth, who, plunging his spurs into his:horse, at
tempted to fly, but in vain. However fast the ani
mal flew, the stranger was still beside him. till at
length, in his desperate efforts to escape, the rider
was thrown; but instead of being dashed to the
earth as he expected, he found himself still falling,
talling—talling still, as it sinking into the bowels
of the earth. .
. . .
At length a period being put to this mysterious
descent, he found breath to inquire of his compan
ion, who was still beside him whither ;they were
going. 'Where am I? Where are you taking me?'
he exclaimed.
'To hell! replied the stranger; and immediately
interminable echos repeated the fearful; sound, 'to
hell ? to hell, to bell
At length a light appeased, which soon increased
to a blaze ; but, instead of'the cries, the kiroans, and
lamentations which the terrified traveller expected.
nothing met his ear but sounds of music mirth and
jollity; and he found himself at the entrance of a
superb building, far exceeding any he hail ever seen
constructed by human hands. Within, too, what a
scene! No amusement, employment, or pursuit of
of man on earth but was there being:carried on
with a vehemence that excited his unutterable
amazement. There the young and lovel”till swam
through the mazes of the giddy dance ! There the
panting steed still bore his brutal rider through the
excitement of the goaded race! Ther6 over the
midnight race, the intemperate still drawled out
the wanton song. or maudlin blasphemy! The
gambler plied forever his endless game, and the
slaves of mammon toiled through eternity their bit
ter task; while all the magnificence of earth paled
before that which now met his view.
He soon perceived that he was amongst old ac
quaintances, whom he knew to be dead; and each,
he observed, was pursuing the object, whatever it
was, that had formdrly engrossed him ;'when find
ing himself relieved of the presence °Otis unwel
come conductor, he ventured to address:his former
friend, Mrs: whom he saw sitting. as had
been her wont on earth, absorbed at loo—.—requested
her to rest from the game, and introduce him to
the pleasures,of the place, which appeired to him
to be very unlike what he had expectediand indeed
an extremely agreeable one. But with the cry of
agony, she answered that there was no lest in hell;
that they must ever toll on at these very pleasures;
and innumerable voices echoed through the inter
minable vaults There is no rest in nen!' whilst
throwing open their vests, each disclosed in his bo
som an ever burning flame. These theY said, were
the pleasures of hell; their choice on' earth was
now their inevitable doom. In the Midst of the
horror this scene transpired, his, conductor turned,
and, at his earnest entreaty restored him again to
earth; but, as he quitted him, he said, 'ltemember!
in a year and a day we meet again!'
At this crisis of his dream the sleeper awoke,
feverish and ill ; and, whether from the effect of the
&earn, or of his preceding orgies, he was so un
well as to be obliged to keep his bedj for several
days; during which period he had time for many
serious reflections which terminated in "a resolution
to abandon the club and his licentious companions
altogether.
He was no sooner well, however, than they flock
ed around him, bent on recovering so valuable a
member , of their society; and having wrung from
him a confession of the cause of his defettion, which,
as may. be supposed, appeared to them eminently
ridiculous, they soon contrived to make hint asha
med of his good resolutions. He joined them again,
and resumed his former:course of lifo,; and when
' the annual saturnalia came round, he found himself
with his glass in his hand at the table, when the
president, rising to make the accustomed speech,
began with saying, 'Gentlemen, this is leap year, it
is a year and a day since our last anniversary,' &c.
The words struck upon the young man's ear like
a knell; but ashamed to expose his weakness to
the jeers of his companions, he sat out the feast,
plying himself with wine even more liberally than
usual, in order to drown his intrusive thoughts, till,
in the gloom of a winter's morning, he mounted his
horse to ride home. Some hours afterwards the
horse was found with his saddle and bridle on, qui
etly grazing by the road side, about ;half way be
tween the city and Mr. B's house, whilst a few
yards off lay the corpse of his master.
This is a true story and no fiction' the circum
stances happened as here related. An account of
it was published at the time, but the copies were
bought up by the family. Two or three however,
were preserved, and the narrative was reprinted.
One of the Weddings
A few days ago, there arrived in Boston a couple
from Rhode Island,' who came to get joined
quietly in the 'bonils of matrimony. As soon as
they were fairly domiciled, the would-be-bride
groom—who was a rough but apparently honest
specimen of the country Yankee—sent for tile pro
prietor of the hotel, who quickly iinswered his
summons.
"Say, lan'lord,' interpcised the stranger, pointing
to his modest dulcinea in the corner of the parlor,
"this is my young woman. Naow tii•e've cam all
the way from Rhode Island, and want to get spli
ced. Send for a minister, will yer—;Want it done
up, right straight off." •0
The landlord smiled and went out, and half an
hour afterward a licenced minister made his ap
pearance, and the obliging host, with one or too
waggish friends, were called in toi witness the
"scene."
"Naow, Mr. Siggins," said the Yankee, "due it
up brown, and yer money's ready," Atd foi thwith
the reverend gentleman commenced by directing
the parties to join hands. The Yankee stood up to
his blushing lady love, like a sick kitten hugging
a hot brick, seized her by the hand, and was as
much pleased as a raccoon might be;auposeJ to be
with two tails. _
''You promise, Mr. ,' said tine parson, "to
ake this woman."
"Yaas," said the Yankee at once.
"To be your lawful wedded Wife."l
"Yaas—yaas."
"That yilu will love and honor her, in all things?"
"Yaas."
"That you will cling to her, and her only as long
as you live." ,
"Yaas—yaas, indeed—nothin' else ?' continued
the Yankee; in the most delighted and earnest man
ner; but here the reverend gentleman halted, much
to the surprise of all present, and more especially
to the annoyance and discomfiture of the bride
groom.
"Yeas—ye:as, I said," added the Yankee.
"One moment, my friend," responded the minis
ter, slowly, for it occurred to him that the low of
Massachusetts does not admit of this performance
without the observance of publishnnent, etc., for a
certain length of time.
'Wat'en thunder's `the matter,
,mister, lloan't
stop—put'er thru. Nothing's split;eh l Ain't sick
mister, be yer."
"Just at this moment, my friend, I have thot'
that you can't be married in Massachusetts—"
"Can't?--wot'n nature's the reason ? I like her
she likes me—wot's Chenderr
“You havn't been published, sir, think."
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1852,
agoin . to be nuther,nuther at's oat we
cum' ere for, on the sly; go on, go on old feller.-
"I really, sir, said the parscn.
"Railly! wal, Lto ahead! Tain't fair, you see,
'taint, 1 swaow; you've married me, and ain't tech
ed her. Go on—doan't stop here, 'at ain't just the
thing, noaw by grashus 'tain't!'
"I will consul—"
" No you won't—no you don't consult nothin'
ner nobody, till this ere business is concluded, naow
mind, I tell ye!" saidoJonathan resolutely, and in an
instant be had turned the hey in the lock amid the
tittering of the witnesses, who were nearly choked
with merriment.
"Naow, mister, as we waer- - continued the Yan
kee, seizing his trembling intended by the hand
again—"go on, right straight from ware you left
off; you can't cum nun this half way business
with this child; so Put 'er thru, and no dodging--
it'll all be right—golyr •
The parson reflected a moment, and concluded
to risk it; continued—
" You promise, madam, to take this man to be
your lawful husband
"Taal," said the Yankee, as the lady bowed.
"That you will love, honor, and obey,"
-Them's um!" said Jonathan, as the lady bossed
again.
"And that you will cling to him, as long as you
both shalllive."
"That's the talk," and the lady said "yes" again.
"Then in the presence of these witnesses, I pro
nounce you man a - id wife."
"Hoorah!" shouted Jonathan, leaping nearly to
the ceiling with joy.
"And what God bath joined together let no man
put asunder!''
Iloorah !" continued Jonathan, "woes the, price
How much?—spit it out—don't be aleared—you
did it jest like a book old feller l—ere's a V. never
mind the change—send for a hack, land Ibrd,--give
us yer bill; I've got her! Hail Columbia, happy
land?" roared the poor fellow entirely unable to
control his joy; ,and tell minutes after he was on
his way to the Providence depot, with his wile, the
happiest man out of jail.
We heard the details of the above scene from an
eye-witness of the ceremony and we could not
avoid rutting it down as "one of the weddings."
'Twas NlGHT—and Sniggles to his wife
Lay talking as they were id bed,
Of all the ills and care and strife
That fell upon hie luckless head.
"Here we have been six years," quoth he,
"And still ,e find both' ends don't meet,
I've worked as busy as a bee,
And yet we barely live..and cat!
" . Our children have no schooling yet;
Indeed I am ashamed of Ben—
Poor fellow, I'm so much in debt—
He's had no chance, though now past ten."
"But stop, how is it 7 said his spouse,
Our neighbor gets along so well,
Have you not marked how farmer Blowse
What'er he has can always sell!
"His boys, he says, know far much more
Than those who've been to school a sear;
And then he always knows the store,
When goods are cheap, and when they're dear
"His farm though not so large as ours,
Is fast improving every day—
Ifd like to know what magic powers
He has to help him in tnis way."
"And I would, too," poor Sniggles thought,
So next morning forth he went,
To find where Blowse his bargains bought,
And how he had so little spent.
Said Blowse—"dear sir, the thing is plain ;
The question, no matter how you take lie,r
Is answered by the simple words
-1 always take my COUNTY Peres!"
Widower Smith's wagon stopped one morning
before widow Jones' door, and gave the usual sig
nal that he wanted somebody in the house, by drop
ping the reins, and sitting double with his elbows
on his knees. Out tripped the widow, lively as a
cricket, with a tremendous black ribbon on her
snow-white cap. "Good morning," was soon said
on both sides, and the widow waited what was fur
ther to be said.
'Weft . , ma'am Jones, perhaps, you don't want to
sell one of your cows, now, for nothin', no way, do
You ?
"Well, there, Mr. Smith, you could not have spo
ken my mind better. A Poor, lone woman like me,
does not know what to do with so many creatures,
and I should be glad to trade if we can fix it...
So they adjourned to the meadow. Farmer Smith
looked at Roan—then at the widow:—theti at Brin
dle—then at the widow—then at the Downing cow
—then at the widow again, and so through the
whole forty. The dame call was made every day
for a week, but farmer Smith could not decide which
cow he wanted. At length, on Saturday, when the
widow Jones was in a hurry to get through her
baking for Sunday—and had ever so much to do in
the house, as all farmers' wives and widows have
on Saturday, she was a little impatient. Farmer
Smith was as irresolute as ever.
"That Downing cow is a pretty fair creature—but
—" he stopped to glance at the widow's lace, and
then walked around her—not the widow but the
cow—
"That 'ere short horn Durham is not a bad look
ing beast, but I don't know—" another look at the
widow.
'The Downing cow I knew before the late Mr.
Jones bought her." Here he sighed at the allusion
to the late Mr. Jones. She sighed', and they both
looked at each other. It was a highly interesting
movement. . .
“Oki Roan is a faithful old mulch, and so is Brin
dle—but 1 have none better.” A long stare pre
ceded this speech—the pause was getting awkward,
and at last Jones broke out.
"Law! Mr. Smith, if I'm the cow you want, do
say so!"
The intentions of the widower Smith and widow
Jones were duly published the next day. and the
reader can judge the rest.
Our Public School System
From the annual report of the Superintendent
of Public Schools, to the present session of the
Legislature of this State, we gather the following
interesting facts :
The system shows an extraordinary and grati
fying progress. Exclusive of the city and county
of Philadelphia, there are nine thousand three
hundred and three schools in active operation. and
nearly a half a million of pupils, (453,642)
With the 48,056 pupils in the public schools of
Philadelphia, the amount is over a half million.
This is doing much towards popular education, but
the system is capable of being much improved,
and the report points out one feature which will
greatly promote the desirable object—and that is,
good teachers, well qualified for the task of in
struction ; and for this purpose seminaries for the
preparation of teachers, are strongly recommend
ed. The preparation necessary in these institu
tions would better qualify individuals for the task,
besides making teaching a permanent occupation,
by elevating' its character, and creating and inspir
ing a professional feeling among teachers, and an
enthusiastic attachment to their profession. ;Ile
details of the report and operation of the system
as presented in the report, are as follows: Wbole
number of districts,
1,399; number paid during
the year, 1,340; whole number of schools, 9,303 ;
nrnber yet required, 684 ; average number of
months taught, 5 months 2 days; number of male
teachers, 7,241; numbeS of female teachers. 3,388;
average salaries of male teachers per month,
$lB 19; average salaries of female teachers per
month, $lO 91 ; number of male scholars, 247,-
404; number of femald scholars, 208238; num
ber learning German, i,290; average number of
scholars in each school, 147 ; cost of teaching each
scholar per month, 431 c.; amount of tax levied,
$914,376 90 ; amount received from State appro

adelphia, $161,997 50 ; cost of instruction, $711,-

Member of the ROyal College of Surgeons, don•
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater par't of •
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect
ed some of the roost astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in l the 1
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness. heing
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, With
frequent blushing attended, sometimes, with de•

'PANE PARI ICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have mjnred ;
themselves by private and improper indulgenciee,
:hat secret and solitary habits, which rum both
body and mind, unfitting them fur either Wetness
or society. • [ [
' These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Siryht, Loss of !Muscular Power, Pal
Mullion of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervo.is Tuna.
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c.
Mentally:—The fearful effects on the mind are
touch to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of. ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo•
Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils pro
duced
NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and j
premature decay generally arises from the destruct-
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful .existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
an ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis•
led with respect to the cause or source of disease's
in their sons and wards. Alas! how of:en du they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the trame,'
Palpitation, of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and I
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres.
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, desittictive to
both Body and .Mind. Thus are swept from ex
iitence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an erns
, rnent to society.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before con M templating.
ARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey tbro'
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view • the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another
comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.
He who places hiniself under the care of Dr.
JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his lion
' or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician
TO STRANGERS.
The many thousands cured at this insiiturfon
within the last ten years, and the numerous im•
portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J.,
witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma.
ny other persons, notices of which have appeared
again and again before the public, is n sufficient
guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and
honorable physician.

MHE subscriber respectfully informs the public
that he has lately completed a TRIPLE POW
ER INTERNAL GEARED HORSE POWER,
which outrivals any other in use, It is made en
tirely of Iron, both Frame and Gearing. The Jour
nals are Cast-Steel—its weight is 600 lbs. On trial
it has proved itself capable of performing from 50
to 100 per cent. more work than other Powers with
the same labor of the team. It is warranted, to
'hold 8 horses.
I have also completed a combined THRESHER
AND CLEANER, which is capable of Threshing
and Cleaning from 300 to 500 bushels of wheat per
• day, with from 6 to 8 Horses, and an equal number 111
of hands. 4 horses can thresh with it from 100 to
: 200 bushels per day of wheat, and 900 to 500 of,
oats. It is very convenient for those who follow
Threshing, and for two or more farmers to own in
company; it is more convenient to move than any
machine in use. The Machine stands on the wag
on while threshing—the Power is loaded on the
same wagon in moving—two horses are sufficient
to move it ; it will save enough labor in threshing
2000 bushels to pay its extra cost. It will thresh
in the field or by a stack as conveniently as in a barn.
The cylinder and concave can readily be adjusted
so as to thresh with equal facility both tough and dry
grain. It is free from the complication and liability
'to get out of order of other machines of the kind,
and of less cost—price 6100,00.
