many years since, until Tho Fall of 1927, Il
Tho present lime. The claims of said " French
extract should be justly appreciated by eapl
| talisis, and Acknowledged ~ the Oldest claims
ss,nsentor, of spinning hemp aud nax (hs la

| Europe or America, and also the oldest claim
ant IN using machinery similar 10 that of cot
| Ton fnrthe spinning OF coarse and hpc linens
| &c. all OF which discoveries were mndo III Nh,
year 1918 by said " Extrnet''-~ who feels dis
posed 10 use his usual Industry, perseverance,
and skill in aiding the public sg well N lndyi

Much noise has been madt about the atret
roller (ior the breaking OF hemp aud llaE, gilhei
anrotied or roiied,) by such pretended invent
ors as catch nj every straw that n0as within
their reach, aud each one claiming se,d roller
as hs invention, and applying ior patents io'
the same, and swearing thai he ,s the frat inyen
Tor OF said roller; aben IL is we'll know
fact that Ffenehmao, who now resides IN Pa
ris, Is the h,st aud only true Inventor of said
roller for the breaking Of hemp and hax, sc.
which he Inven ed in 1912 l3 Bet the Empc.
] ror Napoleon was put on the Island of Elba
| just before this inventor carried his specihca
| tions IN, aud laid them before the Commission
| ers appointed 10 receive such models ~ would
effect said purpose, and he therefore lost The
premium Of l,20O, 900 francs which Napoleon
| had offered Tor the beat invention. But the
French nation bestowed upon this fortunate IN
venior the honors of the red ribbdlid, besides
filling their Journals with artinlo abon. this i'm
| portant discovery, as II would be the cause al
adding a new staple commodity 10 French IN

| False the hnabandmhn's hopes and eSpeeia-

exalted, and alleviate the sufleriogs of the poor
Is his not sufficient testimony to prove that
no Enghshnan or American did eve, inyeo'
| the 0uied roller for the purposes aforesaid, and
thai they never did inven, nay thing Of tho
kind, bu, that they are only seeking opporiuni
Ties 10 infringe upon the tights aud privileges o.

lam much pleased with the conduct Of the
Vermont Journal andthe AurOra, Tor their IN
| dependence aud wiIlinguessto publish any Thing
beneficial 10 the true interests OF the country
| aud. by so doing, many times giving informn
| ton 10 injured parties, correcting errors and
| Measurements, and giving the honor 10 all trus
| inventors. II would give me pleasure 10 soc
| hS publication copied by the Journal and the
Aurora, that NIL English and other artists may
| see that they are not the original Inventors OF
| separating the hbres Of hemp aud lax from
their original lengths. in order TO be carded
&c. &c ; nor are they original inventors of til,
mode of spinning hemp and Han by machinery
similar 10 cotton, fo tear the hemp and flax M
| into from 2 10 inches, then card ii, draw IL
| rope II, aud spin II with rollers, spindlce snd
| flyers, &c. &c. Also, as 10 the nuted roller 10,
the breaking Of hemp and flax, the aforesaid
French Extract" has pure based OF the aiorc
said French inventor lin Franco the right foi
the United States, and for pay mcnt the French
| EAtrnci gives him one-hali of his discovery
for linen spinning for France therefore, th,
said /" French Extract owns the rights Of boil
! for the United States, and one.hali for France
| &c. &c.
| ! cannot but think that the sod Of Virgins
will be benefited AS much by the genius of sai1
French extract, as any other sell can b'
| benefited by English or other artists. Virgi
MIA possesses more square miles OF ierrit0r,
than all the New England States six times nj
much power, and IN n climate suitable for al
