"To he, or not to he— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or bv taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them.
npHE proprietor of the Argus takes o casion in adver
1_ tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for lling
about a•• sort ola concern," which is hoping "to delude
the public.As 1 have opened a Bindery oil my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me. tliev are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years 1 have worked for Mr. I'aksons, and he
has taken great pains t satisfy the public 1 was the '■ be-t
Binder in America," as the columns of tie- Argn e wi l
testify. Has he been all that, time " deluding the pub
lie';''" If i have been engaged ill a fraud, lie has been th
principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there lias been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
Business, I have resumed . business here on my own ac
count,as I know of nothing which prevents me Irom fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support.—
1 shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
ness to give public satisfaction.

THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It lias no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless" Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple,durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to he superior to tiie common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
he an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
