glne, N01c 2R HSPs from and alter leaving the piston-rod, to which rod one end of my improvement is bolted; have done away the crank motion, the balance wheel. and all other fixtures after leaving the piston-rod, 8c. The power in my en- zine IS retained at 90 deg. and 90 deg. and tue plston-rod acting at 45 deg. Is this nut all the power that can be gotten hy man, or was intended for man to get from tod Almighty! Where is Watt, Fulton, gc d.c., with their crank motions passing two dead points in every revolution of the said cra'sk against the piston-rod. &cs In so doing, one half of the action and power is lost, and the caNakin passing said dead points, causes triple strain upon the boiler which produces many explosions and dreadful catastrophies on board of boats, and in mills, &,c. 4c.
 I have invented, and now have models tested, nj .,tr : itensp and flax brailSers and dressers, of one to four horse power, and will brake and dress from SGO lbs. to 5000 lbs. per every ten hours in day. As tri- ling as these machines may appear on the first reflection, they are certainly ma chimes of the first importance to the in- tercsts of our.conntry, they save three fourths of the labor from the ordinary me- thods of dressing hemp and flax in Europe or America; said machines will cost from 100 to G5Go each; they are durable and strong, and will take from to hands to tend them, and from to f horses to ope- rate them in successful manner. Also, l have invented a machine to complete the whole linen process, from braking and dressing until the fhres become card cd, ,spnn and woven into coarse and fine foI fg. .rf .c invention of machinery for shortening and softening the flores of hemp and flax, for carding, drawing, roping, spinning, ard weaving into eloth, with the same ease, fa- cility and despatch, that cotton IS now spun and woven in cotton factories. Such is my invention for linen manufacture, and such the world cannot produce the like of. Ihaye obtained letters patent from the United States for said improvement, as well as all my other improvements or inventions. l have also, invented thrasi- ing machine and mill, which is portable, and may be moved from one part of plan tation to another. The power part of the machine is about 19 feet long and 3 feet and 8 inches broad on the outside, all of which is made 10 fit on to wagon wheels, when the body is taken off: said machine is
  8.c, and may be operated by l. ,. or 6 horses, and will thrash perfectly clean, from 75 to soc bushels per day. Then you can take off the thrashing part, and put te.fnill in it's place, which is operated by the same horse power, and will grind and bolt ny at the same time, from 30 to 90 bushels per day, of wheat, rye, corn, Sc. The thrashing machine, mill, horse pow CT, S.c. is all combined and portable; and will cost about $250. The horse power is certainly, as well as the thrashing machine and mill part, the most valuable discovery yet made for the convenience and benefit of ali the States and Territories west of the Atiegiaany Mountains; because, there are butfew water privilege &c. Sc. The aforesaid horse power alone, will not occupy space of 4 feet square, and thesaid horse power separately, will not cost over 50 to $l00 according to the number of horses to work it. This kind of power, every planter and farmer can have, because 1t is in reach of ones ca paeity, on account of cheapness, conven- fence and his best interest. have many other inventions npon the carpet, too nu- merous here to insert, and all beneficial to our country; all will soon be before the public, for their condemnation or oppro- bation.
 As 10 linen manufacture it is certainly Fof the first importance to our country, as we can raise the raw material in alum dance, and we should be pitied, if the A. merican boys were not as highly gifted in ingenuity, as those of Europe, to manu- facture the same, &c. We are yearly im- porting the raw material of hemp and flax from Europe, to the amount of about four millions of dollars, which we ought to raise n the United States and save fhe S4 ,A00, ,0O0 among ourselves. Also, e year y import from Europe upwards of s3 eco, GOO ofhempen and flaxen goods ali of which we should manufacture, and save the mo- ney amongst us.
 I have expended considerable sums of money in producing the aforesaid inven- ions, which have all been tested to the satisfaction Of every beholder.
 have been offered $6000 for the State of Ky: for the patent right of one of my hemp machints, asked 10000.
 On the lst of March next, l will com mence selling my patent rights, and will be in Pittsburg, Pa. Cincinnati, O. and La1iug ton, K ii N iaJ, JJuisa and J July, and perhaps longer
