Patent Germ Se}icr.-A FINE INvENTIoN.-
Nr. J. 4. Hedges, of ST. LOUIS, has achieved an
Invention which will be in the corn region what
the cotton gin IS south of it. We have seen the
shelter IN operation, ard can confirm everything
that Is sand below by our ncIghOor Of the Union:
We witnessed yesterday the operation of this
new invention. and found tina! 1t moro than g.

of cast iron, and NAV be easily worked or car
RED from pace TO place by two men. The corn
on the car, with or without husks, is thrown into
hopper and sho,icd clean in an instant. A cir
cuIar fan is attached TO It so that the corn is win
moved fast shelIed, and may be at once
deposited in the sack in the best mcrchantable
condition. The cobs and husks pass ont at one
end Of the machine. and the corn Il, the other. 1t
matters not what IS tho size of the ear for the
nIucn.no IS constructed that it adjusts itself
to each, whether large or small. and makes clean
WORK without breaking the kernels Or the cob.
The machine exhibited yesterday is small one,
intended to be worked by hand power, but the
proprietor can easily construct them for horse or
steam power. The small ones will prepare about
three hundred bushels pol day for the sacks, and
vii be sod, we understand. for abou, thirty dol.
lars each. This IS decidedly grea, improve

A few DAYS ago we noticed in the Louisville

mr. could have one for his own Use. We think
Mr Hedges has supplied the want mentioned. Tho

ego it with q perfect rush" Wherever
he is personally known, he appears to
have a strong hold upon the affections Of
the people; in the iron region Of The
North, where The Tariff feeling is perhaps
stronger than in any other section, he, il
is said, will get a very large portion of the
Locofoco votes, and throughout the State
the Wings wi! support him unanimous
ly. Locofocuism censures him, it is
true, for having contributed librfally-hf-
ty barrels OF four-for the relief of the
starving peor in Ireland; but as It was
done on! OF his own private means, no
Il has a right to say aught against the
act; and as it may have saved the lives Of
some hundreds of individuals, w think
i! cannot ~injuFe him very much in the es-

discussed and decided by party votes,
which the people ought to see and under

coffee and adding 10 per cent. to the pre-

BALTIMORE AND WHEELING.

Mr.. McI.ane's visit with his commit
tee to Wheeling resulted, as we learn in
nothing. There is no room for surprise
at this. Their object was to get the con-
sent Of Wheeling to suffer the road to
REACH the Ohio at Fishing Creek. with
leave for THEN TO make a road for them
selves, 40 miles up the river to their city.
rhe present grant from Virginia does not
permit the road to TOUCH the river, but
allows it to follow Fishing Creek until it
APPROACHES the Ohio, and her TO d.
verge in the direction of Wheeling-a
clear 40 miles from home as we might
term it. These terms are too enormous
for the company to accept; and what the
company ask, too prepostereus for Vince
ling. If the road touches the river 40
miles below them, Wheeling is DONE
Their s.Forty wagons a day." bridge and
all are gone; or at least not sufficient to
save them. The rail road from the ter
minus to Wheeling would be without
travel; for, whether going east or west.
for travel or transportation, it could only
be forty miles out of the way. We see
but n hope Of any great improvement
promising benefit to Wheeling. This is
the WellsvilIe road from Cleveland
From Wellsville to Wheeling is but a
short distance and down stream, and if
that road is finished much of the trans
portation would take that route, and in
this case a continuation OF the road from

shonld turn their attention TO this road,
for there is no improvement now in con-
temptation better calculated TO benefit
them.-Piits. Amer.
