all articles usually executed at foundries and OF
manufacturing the Livingston county Plow. This

Client, and Strong artcle--intleed it is believed
that all without single exception, who have
purchased and tried this plow during the past

Bradley, whose reputation as moulder is a suffi-
cient guaranty that all jobs will be neatly execu-

for this foundry, the subscriber felIes entirely upon
these facts, that all his TASKS g. most of his patterns

darkness, and twclve-month ago, he was

his wife console herself with the poor hope

poetry, history, biography, criticism, ard phil
osoPhy, continued from year to year without
cessahon--bowed his strong spirit at last, and
obscured The genius which had so long cast n
glory upon the literature of the age. IN early
lie, when his powerful and brilliant imagina-
uoh was pluming its wing for the daring fights
mat 1t afterwards took, he formed the most ex-
aited notions OF the perlectibility of man,
indulged In the most generous aspirations for
me welfare and Improvement Of the human
race, and seriously thought, with other kindred
spirits, OF founding colony in the backw oods
