injp (if thread ; they Hem, Fell, Gather, and Stich in a
superior style, finishing each seatn by their nwu opera
tion, without recourse to the band-needle, as is required
by other machines. They will do better and cheaiicr
M-wing than a seamstress, even if she works for one cent
an hour, and are, unquestionably, the best Machines in
the market for family sewing, on account of their simpli
city, durability, case of management, and adaption to all
varieties of family sewing—executing either heavy or tine
work with equal facility, and without special adjustment.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE-
J.X MFNT.—To all wanting farms, a rare opportunity
in a delightful and healthy climate 25 miles southeast of
Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. New
Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousands of
acres of pcoeluctive .nil has been divided into Farms of
various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population of some
Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the middle States
and New England have settled there the past year, im
proved their places, mid ruined excellent cn'ps. The
price of the land is at the low sum of from #ls to #2O
per acre, the soil is of the best quality tor the production
of f f heat, I'lover. Corn, Peaches, drupe* and Vegeta
bles. It is considered the best fruit soil in the Union.
The place is perfectly secure from frosts—the destructive
enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, grass and fruit are
now growing and can lie seen, lie examining the place
itself, a. correct judgment can be formed ot the produc
tiveness of the land. The terms are made easy to secure
the rapid improvement of the laud, which is only sold for
actual improi ement. The result has been, that within the
past year, some three hundred homes have been erected,
two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty vinyard and
Peach orchards, planted, and a large number "of other
improvements, making it a desirable and active place ot
business.
The Market, as the reader may perceive from its loca
tion. is the best in the Lnion. Produce bringing double
the price than in locations away from the city, and more
than double the price than the West. It is known that
the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude
come from New Jersey, and are annually exported to the
extent of millions.
In locating lu re, the settler has many advantages. He
is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New Eng
land and Middle States, he is near his old friends and as
sociations. he is in a settled country where every improve
ment of comfort unit civilization is at hand. He can buy
every article he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed,)
lie has schools for his children, divine service, and will
enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, where fev
ers arc utterly unknown. The result of the change upon
those from the north, has generally been to restore them
to an excellent state of health.
In the way of building and improving, lumber can be
obtained at the mills at the rate of $lO or #ls per tliou
sand. Pricks from the brick yard opened in the placc
every article can be procured in the place, good carpen
ters are at hand, and there is no place in the Union where
buildings and improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown
in the market; and unless these statements were correct,
no one would be invited to examine the land before pur
chasing. This all are expected to do. They will see the
land undrr cultivation, such is the extent of the settle
ment that they will no doubt, meet persons, from their
own neighborhood ; they will witness the improvements
and can judge the character of the population. It they
come with a view to settle, the}- should come prepared to
stay a day or two and be ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, THE RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS, AND A HALF-PRICE TICKET
FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON—Tn connection with
the agricultural settlement, a new and thriving town has
naturally arisen, which presents inducements for any kind
of business, particularly stores and manufactories. The
Shoe business could be carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, also cotton business, and manufacto
ries of agricultural implements or Founderies for casting
small articles. The improvement has been so rapid as to
insure a constant and permanent- increase of business
Town lots of a good size, we do not sell small ones, as it
would effect the improvement of the place, can be had at
from #IOO and upwards.
The HammonUm Farmer, a monthly literary and agri
cultural sheet, containing full information of Hammonton,
can be obtained a! 25 cents per annum.
Title indisputable— warrantee deeds given, clear of all
incumbrance when money is paid. Route to the land :
leave \ ine street wharf, Philadelphia, for Hammonton by
Railroad, at 7i A. M., or J'. M. Fare 90 cents. When
there inquire for Mr. Byrnes. Boarding conveniences on
hand. Parties had better stop with Mr. Byrnes, a princi
pal, until they have decided as to purchasing, as he will
show them over the land in his carriage, free of expense.
Letters and applications can be addressed to Landis A

He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to tie present during the Fall term.
Prof. Colmrn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repnlatation the institu

TIOGA POINT IMP'VED RAILWAY HORSE POWERS.
"117 E are manufacturing the above unrivalled Powers
VV for One and Two Horses, under Emory's Patent,
which are warranted greatly superior to the common
Rack and Pinion Power. Our Horse Power is unequalled
for convenience by any other ;—being adapted to a great
variety of uses where power is needed; for the reason
that it is double Reared, and that both ends of the main
and counter shafts have couplings all alike, permitting
the converge gear wheel, pinion and hand-wheel to l>e
shipped from shaft to shaft and Iroin side to side of the
Power at pleasure ; by which arrangement five differem
degrees of motion are" obtained without extra gearing;
and also, any desirable length and velocity of crank mo
tion for cross cut sawing, pumping and churning. These
Powers run easily, are strong, well finished and mad*
from good materials.
THRESHERS AND SEPARATORS.
These are made of various sixes. They are superior tor
those of any other manufacture, of which fact any per
son well acquainted with the heretofore leading machines,
will he satisfied upon examination. Our PANNING
MILLS, which aie the very best in market, are fitted for
power to be run in connection with the Tresher and Sep
arator.
THRESHERS AND CLEANERS
We have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expecta
tions in inventing and constructing a combined Thresher
A Cleaner of our own, which, we believe, for two horse
power, has not its superior nor equal. It runt eatily and
threshes and rleant fust, without waiting the grain, which
is delivered in the measure cleaned fit for market.
These Winnowers are simple, easily managed, and are
warranted to give entire tatiifaction.
gjf We are prepared to furnish at once, or on verv
■hort notice, THIKSHBB and WINNOWERS from any
of the leading New York manufactories at the same
prices as our own, and no charge for freight. All who
want
The Best Horse Power
In market to run Threshers and Cleaners of any other
manufacture, should by all means purchase their entire
sete of machines from us, or FROM OCR AGENTS, and
thereby save heavy freights from distant places, and at
the same time get BKTTKU SKTS OF MXCHINKS.
