with the best of materials and determined that
their ploughs shall be equal in style and quality TO
any made in the country These ploughs the sub
scrbers believe TO be in several important respects
decidedly superior to any others now IN use. They
are constituted to the furrow smoother
ond even without breaking, and will require much
less team than the ploughs in common use. The
share is so attached that it can be easily removed
and another put on, by turning one screw. There
is also shoe on the land side of the plough which
when worn can easiiy be replaced by one,
which will serve to make the poughs much more
durable. The proprieors not wishing to pay for
long advertisements will only add few recommen-
dations from persons who have witnessed the oper-
alton Of these ponghs. Said ploughs first pre-

tenth part of infants die at this particular juncture
by symptoms proceeding from the irritation of the

eventually induce fever, inflammation, gangrene,
twitching of the tendons, commissions, &c. which
formidable symptoms can at all times be obviaied
from causing such infantle mortality, by mothers
and nurses promptly allaying the local irritation of
the parts To effect this desirable objec., Doctor

THE Vine CONVENTION TO NOMINATE
A PREsIDENT.-We learn by the Wash
ington correspondence of the Boston
Atlas. that the Wing Members Of Con-
gress have agreed upon the lst Monday
in June 1887, as the time to hold the
Convention proposed, and the place is
70 be Harrisburg, Pa. 1t was under
stood, however, that if any thing should
occur making postponement desirable,
at the next session of Congress, the Wing
members should have the power to agree
upon such postponement. 1t is under
stood that Tennessee will send no dele
gates to the convention, the Wings Of
that State having taken such ground
against the convention that nominated
Van Buren, as to make it hardly proper
for them TO participate in similar as
uembly. North Carolina, it is also said,
will send no delegates. Such is the
opinion now, though what changes may
take place before the expiration Of the
year, it is not easy to say.--N. Y. Er-
