    F WHEEUK*B PATENT CHAM
OVERSHOT TU RASHERS, FEED
CUTTERS, Ac.
The above cut represents a single or one
boree machine with the hands necessary to
attend it.
The subscribers take thia method of in
forming the public in general, that they have
for some time been carrying on, in all their
various branches, the manufacture and sale
of Wheeler's Patent Chain Horse Powers,
together with Overshot Thrashers, Feed Cut
lers, Revolving Horse Rakes, &c , in Light
Street, Columbia co., arid the town of North-
Sutherland, Northumberland co., Pa.
The Horse-Powers
are strong and durable, and very simple in
their construction: run light, and ars not
liable (o get out of order. With a slight ele
vation, the weight alone of the horse or
horses drives thv Thrasher with lorce and
speed. They may also be used for various
other purposes, such a driving Circular Saws,
Taming Lathes, boring Machines, Grind-
Stones. Churns, etc. eto.
The Overshot Machines
have severs! advantages over the machines
■ow in use. The apron or feeding table ia
level, and of a proper height to allow the
feeder to stand erect, and feed evenly and
easily without annoyance from dust; sticks
and stone are not liable to get into the
thrasher, and the grain is not scattered, but
thrown down to the separator. The two
horae machine, attended by from two to
three hands, will thrash Irom 100 to 150
buabeia of wheat, or doable the amount of
oaia per day. The one horse machine, at
tended by two or three hands, wtll thrash
from 60 to 75 bushels ot wheal, or double
the amount of oats per day. The Feed-
Cutler ia a first rate article, and U very much
used. It cuts fine and very fast; stalks are
cnt by it 3-8 of an inch long, at he rate
of Irom 300 to 500 sheaves per day.
The foregoing is a brief statement of the
qualities and character of onr machines -
There probably ia a larger number of
Wheeler's Patent Powers made and sold
than any other kind. We 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.
For further particulars, or for purpose of
Ordering machines, address the subscribers
at Light Stteet, Columbia co., or at North
umberland, North d county, Pa., or apply to
the following agents:—Jacob Hartman, Mil
ton ; Joseph Vankirk, near Northumberland ;

TO THE FASIiONABLE AND IP
rpHE undersigned, having just received the
J- latest Paris ana New York Fashions
would again beg leave to inform his numer
ous friends and all the world about Blooms
burg, that he is now better prepared than ev
er to accommodate any one with the neatest,
easiest and best fitting suits of Clothes that
have been turned out lately ; and not only
that, but he will also do them up in the best
order, upon the lowest terms.
His shop is at the old stand, (too wel
known ro need futther notice) where hmaj
at all times be found, sealed upon the bench
of repentance, steadily drawing out the threao
of affliction, hopeing it may in the end prove
advantageous to him and his customers. Ht
would also advise his friends to bear in mine
that poor, afflicted tailors must live, or they
can't be expected to work. Therefore, Wheat
Rye, Corn, Oats, Polatoes, and with all now
and then a little CASH will come mighty
handy from those who are back-standing on
h:e book.
Remember, gentlemen, that in all cases
"thelaborer is worthy of his hire."

Philadelphia, Dec. 15th, 1854.
Messrs. Evans A Watson, No. 26 south
Fourth Street, Philadelphia.—Gentlemen: —
We >ake pleasure in recommending your
Salamander Sales to merchants and others
in want of a secure means of preserving
their books, papers, &c., from fire, as the
one we purchased from you about seven
months since has preserved our books, pa
pers, and cash in as good condition as tbey
were when pot into it, before the great fire
of this morning, which destroyed the entire
block of buildings corner of Chestnut and
Fifth Streets. The above Safe was in use
in our office, on the second floor of our build
ing, from which place it fell into the cellar,
and remained there until the fire was out.—
The safe was then removed, and oppened in
the presence ol at least 1000 persons, who
witnessed the good condition of the contents.
Will you please have the Safe and looks re
paired, as we intend to put it in use again,
having perfect confidence in its fire proof
qualities. Yours, respectfully,
LACEY & PHILLIPS.
Evans & Watson take pleasure in referring
to tbe following, among the many hundreds,
who have their Safes in use:—U. S. Mint,
Philadelphia; Farmers & Mechanics' Bank,

TONICS WON'T DO.
THEY never did do more than give tempo
rary relief end thev never will. It is be
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The cause of all ague and billious dis
eases is the atmospheric poison called Mias
ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE,
\ and all diseases caused by it disappears at
once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is Ibis
Antidote to Malaria, and moreover it is a
perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate
of the celebrated chemist, J. R. Chilton, of
New York, to this effect, is attached to every
bottle ; therefore if it does no good it cac do
no harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine,
Arsenic, or any tonic in existence, as their
use is ruinous to the constitution and brings
on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son to feel perlectly well for a single moment.
In illusttation of these truths 1 annex some
extracts from a letter just received from a
Physician :
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '56.
JAB. A. RHODES, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of
2d inst. is at hand. The Cure arrived late
last year and the difficulty in getting any one
to try it was greatly increased from the fact
that 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, (known as "Smith's Tonic,")
would invariably BREAK an ague, but it did
not CURE it, and it would often return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstance I
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
test comparison between it and your CURE.
The lollowing is the result:
Three persons took your "Core," all of
which were esses of "Quotidian Intermit
tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They
had tried Quinine, and other remedies, occa
sionally missing a cbill, but it was, (as in all
such cases,t Blowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and severer
maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi
cal cure of all threb of these cases with your
remedy, and they have not had a cbill since.
In ail three of these cases the "Smith's Ton
ic" had been used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the cbill, bnt after a period or two
had elapsed it would return.
I think there will be no difficulty now in
giving to your "Cure" the vantage ground of
any other remedy now in use here. &c. &c.
WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D.
RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or
Antidote to Malaria, the only harmless reme
dy in existence, is equally certain as a PRE
VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when
you feel the chill coming on, and you will
never have a single one.

THE Author of the above volume is ■ gradu
ate of one or the first medical aehools |p. the
United States, and having devoted a quarter of
a contury to the etudy and treatment of Syphilis
and kindred disorders as a speciality, he has
become possessed of most invaluable informs,
lion in regard to the same, and ie able to com
pass into vade mecum compass Ihe very quint
essence of medical science on this important
subject; as the result of the experience of the
moat eminent physiflan in Europe and Amer
ica is thoroughly demonstrated in his own
highly eucceasful practice in the treatment of
secret diseases in many thousands of cases in
I the City of Philsdelphia nlone.
The iracticeof Dr. Hunter his long boon,
tnd still is literally unbounded, but at the ear
nest solicitation of numerous persons, ha has
bean induced to extend the sphere of his pro
fessional usefulness to the community at large,
through the medium of hie "Medl:al Manual
Hand-Book for the Afflicted.*'
It is a volume that should be in the hand of
every family in the land, whether used as a
preventive of secret vice, or ae a guide for the
alleviation of one of the moat awful and de
structive scourges ever visited upon mankind
for the sins of sensnality ami impurity of every
hi !• . ...
It is a volume that has recoived the unquali
fied recommendation of ihe first pbv.'ciana in
the land, while many clergymen, fathers, moth
ers, philanthropists and humanitariacs, have
moat freely extended its circulation in all quar
ters where its powerful teachings would be like
ly to be instruments! in the moral purification
and physical healing of multitudes of our peo
ple, among the young, volatile and indiscreet,
otherwise the pride and flower of the nation.
The authoi argues particularly, most strongly
against every species of self-defilement, and
warns parents and guardians, in searching
terms, lo guard the young of both sexes from
the terrible consequences concomitant of their
ignorance of phyiolugicel laws and sexual imd
purities and irregularities, whether exhibite.
oy precocious development or arising ftom the
viscious and corrupting examples of their school,
mates or otheiwise. To those who have been
already ensnared to the "paths that take hold
on hell,'' a clear and explicit way is shown by
which tbey may secure a return of sound health
and a regeneration of the soul from its terrible
pollution.
It is well known that thousanJs of victims
are annually sacrificed at the shnn of Quack
ery —especially those Buffeting from Venereal or
Syphilitic diseases—Strictures, Seminal Weak-
Dees, Nervous Debility, and the numerous mal
adies which spring directly or less remotely
from the indulgence of carnal passions and se
crctviolaiions of Nature.
In view of these facts, and when it is also
considered that about 100,000 persons die annu
ally in the United Sidles of Conoumption—a
large majority being the victims of the voluput
ous indiscretion of their progenitors, agreeably
lo the Scriptural enunciation, that the sins of
the parents are visited upon the children, even to
the third and fourth generation. The Author,
imbued with sentiments of enlarged phiihnthro
py, will scarcely be censured for any effort to
restrain the vices of the age, by the humble iu

INVALIDS
Are apprised that Dr. KINKELIV confine,
his practice to a particular branch of medi
cine, which engagea his indlrldua attention.
He cautions the unfortunate againal the a
buse of mercury; thousands are annually
i mercurialized out of life. Recent affectione
fare ptomptly extinguished.
1 TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE
In the treatment of a class of diseases hith
erto neglected and imperfectly understood,
has enabled Dr. KINKELIN, Author of a
work on Self Preservation,lo prove hat nine
tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo*
oai and constitutional weakness, mental and
ghysioal suffering, are traoeable to certain
aLite, forming the most secret yet deadly
and fatal springs of domestic misery and
premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE, -
There is an evil habit sometimes indulged
in by boys, in eolitnde, aod which, if not W
formed in due time, not only begets serious
obstacles to matrimonial happiness,bm giveS
rise to a series of protracted, insidious, and
devastating afflictions. Few of those who
give way to this pernicious practice are a'
ware of the consequences, until tbey find
the uervous system ehaltered, feel elrange
aod unaccountable feelings, and vague fears
in the mind.
The unfortunate thus affeoted becomes fee.
ble, is unable lo labor with accustomed vig.
or, or to apply his mind to study; his step re
tardy and weak, be is dull, irresolute, and
engages in his sport with less energy than
usual.
If he emancipate himself before the prao
lice has done its worst, and enter matrimony,
his marriage is unfruitfnl, and his sense telle
him that this is oaused by bis early follies.—-
These are considerations which should awa
ken the attention of those similarly ailuated.
MARRIAGE
Requires the fulfillment of several conditions
in order that it may be really ihe cause of
mutual happiness. Could the veil whioh
covers the urigin of domestic wretchedness
be raised, and its true source in every in
stance disclosed—in how many oould it be
traced to physical disqualifications and their
attendant disappointments! Apply then while
it is yet time, in order lo have your unstrung
and relaxed organization rebraced, revivified
and strengthened.
REMEMBER,
He who places himself under Dr. Kinkelin's
treatment may religiously confide in his hon
or as a genteman, and rely upon the assur
ance, that the secrets of Dr. K's patients will
never be disclosed.
Young man—let no false modesty deter
you from making your case Known to one
who, from education and respectability, can
befriend you.
Too many think they will conceal the ie
cret in their own hearts, and cure themve Ivea
Alas ! how often Is this a total delusion, and
how many a promising young man, who
might have been an ornament to society, has
faded from the earth.
Strictures of the urethra are rapidly re
moved by the application of a new thera
peutical agent, used only by Dr. K. Weak
ness and Constitutional Debility promptly
cured, and full vigor restored,

The only Safe which, n every instance,
preserved the entire contents at
the late Extensive Fires.
A T THE BURNING OF THE ARTIEAN
BUILDJNGS, April JOtb, and in the great
fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine HERRING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of-v
George W. Simms 8c Bro.; Books, Papers Bcc.
of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Semans 8c Co.,
after remaining exposed in the burning ruins
for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
them, their great superiority over all securi
ties known.
In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE, ;
standing side by side 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, while
the boasted "Salamanders" of other makers
were badly used up in every instance, and
in some cases their entire oontents completely
destroyed. r *
To the public we would simply say, that,
during the fourteen years of the Herring's
Safe has been before them, more th. n two
hundred have passed through accidental fires
without the occuirence of a single loss.
YVe would, therefore, caution purchasers
against the misrepresentation of interested
parties. The Herring's Patent is the only
rue-proof Safe made in this city whiob is
protected by a Patent Right, and we will
guarantee it to resist more than double tho
amount of heat of any other Safe now known-
