    WHEELER'S PATENT CHAM
OVERSHOT THRASHERS, FEED.
CUTTERS, <fcc.
The above cut represents a tingle or one
torse machine with the bar.de necessary 10
•liand it.
The subscribers take this method of in
forming Ibe public in general, that they have
for enure lime been carrying no, in all iheir
various branches, the manufacture and vale
ot Wheeler's Patent Chain Horse Powers,
together with Overabol Tbraebere, Feed Cut
lers, Revolving Horse Rakes, Ac , in Liuht
Street, Columbia co., and the town ol North
umberland, Northumberland co., Pa.
The llorse-Poweri
ara strong and durable, and very simple in
their construction: mil light, and nre not
liable to get out ol orJer. With a slight ele
vation, the weight alone of the horse or
horses drives tlto Thrasher with force and
speed. They may a'so be used for various
other purposes, suolr a driving Circular Saws,
Turning Lathes, Boring Machines, Grind
stone*. Churns, e'c. etc.
The Overshot machines
have several advantages over the machines
now in use. The apron or feeding table is
level, and of a proper height to allow the
feeder to stand erect, and feed evenly and
easily without annoyance from dust; Sticks
and stono arc not liable to gel into the
thrasher, and the grain is not scattered, but
thrown down to the separator. The two
horse machine, attended by from two to
three hands, will thrash Irom 100 to 150
bushels of wheat, or double the amount of
oats per day. The one horse machine, at
tended by IM-O or three h'ands, will thrash
from 60 to 75 bushels ol wheat, or double
the amount of oats per day. The Feed-
Cutter is a first isle article, ami is very much
used. It cuts fine and very fast; stalks arc
cut by it 3-8 nf an inch long, at he rale
of from 300 to 600 sheaves per day.
The foregoing is a brief statement of the
qualities snd character of our machines.—
There probably is a larger number of
Wheeler's Patent Puwcrs made and told
than any other kind. Wo offer our ma
chines to the farming communi'y with full |
confidence in their merits, and invite all in
terested to call and examine them before
purchasing elsewhere.

ordering machines, address the subscribers

PUBLISHERS of Pel ton's System of Geog
* rat>tty, taught by the aid of six splendid
outline meps, each covering nearly 50 square
leet, and forming an invaluable as well as
elegant ornaments for the school room. *
Children aro delighted to study Geography
by this system. They learn so rapidly and
receive such clear impression* of the ei.iijacl,
that it is a pleasure to both teacher and pu
pil to be engaged in it. We ail know that a
better and more lasting idea of a locality is
obtained by looking at a bold and distinct
drawing of it, than by volumes of descrip
tion. If s man wants to get an exact idea
of a farm he lias been purchasing, he learns
more by one iook at lire draft on the back of
the deed, than by reading the description in
side twenty times. This is the great princi
ple of Pelton's system of Geography, and
there are others equally practical combined
with' it which entitle it to the reputation it
sustains, as the best and quickest mode of
teaching Geography, vet introduced.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY— including all
the invaluable discoveries in this science, ol
Lieut. Maury and his coadjutors, is beauti
fully illustrated by these maps sad the ac
companying keys. The keys are to be used i
by ttie scholars, and cost less man hair iho '
price of a Geography and Atlas.

VIVHEY never did do more than give tempo
* rary relief and they never will. It ia be
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The cuusvol all ague and billion# die

its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE,
and ill diseases caused by it disappears al

Antidote to 'Malaria, ant* moreover il is a
perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate
of the celebrated chemist, I. R. Chilton, of
New York, lo this effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if it dnea no good it cac do
no harm.

I In illnsttation ol these truths I annex some
| extracts from a letter just received from a
j Physician :
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '66.
JAS. A. RHODES, E-q. Dear Sir: Yours of
2d inst. is it bend, 'l ire Cure arrived late
I last year and the difficulty in gelling any oris
to try it was greatly increased from the fact
thai a remedy had been introduced which
was growing in favor with the public, as be
ing better than using Quinine, —not knowing
I presume that the remedy they needed to
escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG
ITSELF!
This remedy, (kne • taa "Smith's Tonic,")
would invttfiubly HRr.AK an ague, bu; it did
not CLUE*, and n would often return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstanre I
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
. lest comparison between it and your CURE.
I The following is the result:
Three persons took your "Cure," all of
! which were cases of "Quotidian Intermit
. tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They
I had tried Quinine, and other remediee, occa
i eiotmlly missing a chill, but it was, (as in all
. such cases.; slowly wearing them out, and
laying the Inundation of other and severer
maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi
cal cure of all three of these cases with your
remedy, and they have not had a chill since.
In all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton
ic" had been usetl, and would, as before ela
ted, break the chill, but after a period or two
bad elapsed it wnuld return.
think there will be no difficulty now in
, B' v,r, S tn yoor' 'Cure" lite vantage ground of
any other remedy now in use here. &c Sio
i WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D.
RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or
, Antidote lo Malaria, the only harmless reme
dy in existence, is equally certain as a PRE
VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when
yon ieel the chill coming on, and you will
never have a single one.

TR* Author of the above volume is a gradu
ate of one or the first medical schools In the
United States, and having devoted a quarter of
a century to the atudy and treatment of Kyphilis
and kindred disorders as a speciality, he has
become possessed of most invsloakls informa
tion in regard to the same, and is able to com
pass into vade mecuui compass the very quint
essence of medical science OD this important
subject; as the result of the experience of the
most eminent physician in Europe and Amer
ten is thoroughly demonstrated in his own
highly successful practice in the treatment of
se ret diseases in many thousands of cares in
the City of Philadelphia alone.
The tractiee of Dr. Hunter has long boen,
and still is literally unbounded, but at the ear
nest solicitation of numerous persons, he has
been induced to extend the sphere of his pro
fessional usefulness to the cemmunity at large,
through the medium of his "Medi-l! Manual
liand-Uook for the Afflicted.''
It is a volume that should be in the ha n d of
every family in the land, whether used as a
ureveniive of secret vice, or as a gaide for the
alleviation of one of the most awful and de
structive scourges ever visited upou mankind
for the sins of eensuolily and impurity of every
kl d.
It is a volume that baa received (he unquali
fied recommendation of the first physicians in
the lenii, while many clergymen, fathers, moth
era, |hilanthropisls and humanitariara, have
most freely extended its circulation in all quar
tern where ita powerful teachings would be like
ly, to be instrumental in the moral purification
and phvauai healing of multitude) of our peo.
pie, among the young, volatile and indiscreet,
otherwise the pride and flower of the notion.
The aulhoi argues particularly, most strongly
against every species of solf-th filen.eril, and
- warna parents and guardians, in reaithing
terms, to guard the young of both sexes f,„m
the terrible consequences concomitant of their
ignorance of phyiological laws and sexual mid
purities and irregularities, whether eihihile
oy precocious development or arising fiom the
viscious and corrupting examples of their school
mates or otheiwise. To those who have heei
already ensnared to the "paths that lake hold
on hell,'' a clear and explicit way is shown by
which they msy secure a return ofjound health
and i regeneration of the soul from its terrible
pollution.

cine, which engages hia individual attention.
He cautions the unlonunate against the a
buse of merenry; thousands are annually
mercurialised out of life. Rooent affections
are piomptly extinguished.
TWENTY YEARS* EXPERIENCE
In the treatment of a class of diseases hith
erto neglected and imperfecily understood,
has enabled Dr. KINKELfN, Author of a
work on Self Preservation, to prove hat nine
tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo
cal and constitutional weakness, mental and
physical suffering, ore traceable to cerlaia
habits, forming Hie most secret yet deadly
and iatal springs of-domestic misery and
premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE,
There is an evilbabit sometimes indulged
in by boys, in solitude, and which, if not r* *"
formed in due lime, not only begets serious
I obstacles to matrimonial happiness,but give*
rise lo a series of protracted j insidious and
' devastating affliciions. Few ol those' who
give way to ibis pernicious practice me a
ware ot the consequences, until they find
the nervous system sheltered, feel strange
and unaccountable feelings, and vague fear*
in the mind.
The unfortunate thus affected becomes fee
blo, is unable lo labor with accustomed vig.
or, or to apply his mind to study; his step is
lardy and weak, he is dull, irresolute, and
engages iu his sport with less energy toaft
usual.
If ha emancijate himself before the prac
tice has done its worst, and en'er matrimony
his marriage is unfruitful, and his sense tells
Itiin 'hat this is caused by his early lollies.
These are consideralione which should stvi-
I ken the attention of those similarly situated.
, MARRIAGE
Requires the fulfillment of aeveral conditions
in order thai it may ba realty the cause of
mutual happiness. Could the veil which
covers the origin of domestic wretchedness
he raised, and it# true source ia every in
stance disclosed—in how many could it be
traced lo physical disqualifications and their
attendant disappointments! Apply ihenwhile
it is yet time, in order 10, have your unstrung
and relaxed organization rebraced, terivilUd
and strengthened.

HERRING'S -
The only Safe which, in every instance,
preserved the entire contents at
the lute Extensive Fires.
AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN
BUILDJNGS. Aptil lOih.arul in thegreif
fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine H HIKING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. grains A Bro ; Books, Papers Ac. _ i
of Fisher A Bro. and Edward Semans St Co., |
aftar remaining exposed in the burning ruina
for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
tbem, their great superiority over all aeoun
ties known.
In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE,
standing aide by aide with those advertised
as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire
than Herring's,"came forth the acknowledg
ed victor, not only preserving their contents
in excellent order, but being themselves in a
condition to go through another ordeal, whole
the boasted "Salamanders" of other maker*
were badly used up in every instance, and
in somecasestbeir entire oonteots completely
destroyed. •
To tbe public we would aimply say, that,
, during the fourteen yeara of tbe Herriug'a
Safe has been before them, more than twef
hundred have passed through aooidantal firel
without the occurrence of a single lota.
We would, therefore, caution purcfrttseru
against the misrepresentation of interested ,
parties. The Herring'# Patent ia the only ,
Fire proof Safe made in this city which m '
protected by a Patent Right, and we will
guarantee it to resist more than double the
amount of heat of any othar Safe now known. 4
