'9>fiE subscriber has erected foundry at Vesu-
wins Furnace for the double purpose of making
all articles usually executed at foundres, and of
manufacturing the Livingston county Plow. This
pillow was first used in the county of RoCkbridge
but little more than one year ago since then,
many of our most intelligent farmers who have
had an opportunity of testing it, have given the
strongest testimony of its value a cheap, eff
cient, and strong article-indeed it is believed
that all without single exception, who have
purchased and tried this plow during the past
year. have been highly pleased with its operation,
and have been generally convinced that it will
soon supercede all others now i'm use. The pat
terms which the subscriber now has, were made
by the Patenee during the past year, expressly
Tor the State OF Virg inia ; aud believed to be
an improvement upon the form of his first pattern;
particularly in having stronger turning power.
The old patterns for the paints and slides Of this
pillow, and all the patterns for the self. sharpening
pillow, are at this foundry also complete sett
of patterns for the Threshing Machine HoRsE
PowER formerly madeby Mr.. Bradley. Allkinds
of iron turning neatly executed. The foundry
VIII be under the management of Mr. Schuyler
Bradley, whose reputation as monlder is suffi-
cient guaranty that all jobs will be neatly execu-
ted. In asking share Of the public patronage
Tor this foundry the subscriber relies entirely upon
these facts that all his TASKS g. most Of his patterns
are new that his materials and workmen the
very best in the valley and that he is determined
10 spare expense to make ii in all respects such
establishment will meet the wants of this
community. MATTHEW BRYAN.
