SAGAcirY OF GEN. HARRIsoS- he Wheel
ing Times of the 9th ult. makes the annexcd
statement, which, iftrue, as we have no doubt
tits. places new flower in the bright chap
let of the Western veteran:
1t was owing to the sagacious advice and
entreaty Of General Harrison that fleet was
placed upon Lake Erie, to cooperate with
the army on the frontiers. President Madi-
son at first hesitated about the propriety of
the measure; but at last yielded to the ur-
gent appeals and sound arguments of Gener-
al Harrison. The fleet was placed upon the
Lake, and the gallant Perry was appointed to
the conimand-and the result proved the fore
sight of the illustrious General who planned
the movement! The letters of Gen. Harri-
son are ON file in the War Department, un-
less destroyed by the Eruption of the enemy
into the Capitol in 1914.

Seii-sharPening Horizontal Plough thorough
ly tested, as well in regard to its strength and
durability, as the oxcellency of its perform
ance, begs leave TO oiier the subioincd certi-
ticates OF some of the most influential farmers
OF their respective counties. For the farther
satisfaction OF the public, more would be
given, but these he thinks will suffice, as all
he asks isa generous confidence, so far only,
as to try the plough; for he warrants it i'm
every case to perform as well on level land,
when made smooth, as any plough in use.-
This, 1t may be thought, is saving too much,
and would be expecting too much vet it
viii be seen that he is fully warranted i'm the
statement by the certificates of gentlemen
whose practical Judgment and DISTINGUISHED
candour-not upon partial trial, but tho
rough test, of years, can hardly bequestioned:
now all that he asks, is try, and Judge for
yourselves.

pleasure in saying it is the best hillside
plough | have ever seen. It's simplicity Of
construction, the perfect ease and quickness
with which it is changed, and being a self
sharpener, are decided advantages over any
other which have seen. Mine has been IL
sed altogether by common field hand and
has never for a moment been out Of ORDER
have also used it considerably on level
land, and find ii ploughs there as well as any
plough have used, and for plough of the
same size, and the land it cuts and turns, it
is the easiest draft Of any plough have used.
