Important Agricultural improvement

Important HgrtCuluFG improvements
We have just had the pleasure of wit
Messing the operation of newly lnven-
ted CORN SHELLER, patented by Is
RArL HEpLER, Esq, of Northumberland
co. Pa. As labor saving machine, it is
certainly of great importance to the farmer
and it is no doubt destined from lis dura-
bilty and cheapness to find its way speed
ily into almost every farmers barn. In
our humble opinion, no farmer who raises
large crops of corn, aud who Studies his
own pec,miayy interest, should be with
out one of those machines and if we are
not greatly mistaken they will, as soon as
they can be brought to the notice of the
farming community, take the place entirely
of every other contrivance for corn sheI
ling.

leading staple TCotonl has continued in request at
improved prices, r. cts for ord to fair, but al
though the supply has been somewhat increased by
several speculation lots previously withheld from the

supplies Of Sugar have confirmed its previous up

The weath her has been variable with frequent and

cessive rains, and apprehensions Of bad yield.

mentioned thi. instance Of his to the Chancellor Of
the Exchequer, he said what more remarkable
was, that one of his largest customers, who gave

ford to retail tobacco at IS.
Q. g Did he explain how that was :"
A % No: there is but one inference that the gro
Ger, or person who sold the tobacco by retail must
have adulterated it."
At subsequent period of the examination this
witness gave account of the expenses smuggling,
and introduced the subject Of decoys. decoy is a
quantity of tobacco which is occasionally allowed
to fall in the way of the coast guard officers for
them to seize, and make report upOn proof Of
their vigilance, they keeping out of the way of
smugglers at other times, on condition Of liberal
bride, and this occasional decoy Of tobacco.
1850. g In the course of these smuggling opera
tons they frequently leave certain quantity of to-
bacco for the officers to seize, which they call de-
coy; the calculation for that is 80 bales of 900
which is dead loss to them-that is el50. The

Mr.. Maury then proceeds to give instances Of the

with, communicated to him by retired smuggler:
and others. Also, instances of the guilty partcipa
