e:elver,s Palent charn.

It a with pleasure that ws notice this new im- provcment that has lately been introduced smong us t is one of the most complete time and labor saving machines that has yet been invented, and must soon find a place among the indispensable utensils of every housewife in the country. We have repeatedly had information of it's success in producing butter ia jour mihutes, and in many iu- stances in less time. Its construction is simple its operation certain. and the price at which 1t is sold places if within the reach of every farmer. Those who know the valus of time la all trades and pur- suits will soon learn to appreciate the usefulness of an instrument that will enable them to accom- pish % much with so little labor. -- ..t. ..-s
 The agents for this State have made arrange rnents to have the patent churns manufactured here in sufficient quantities 10 meet all demands. The following extracts show in what estimation they are held in other parls of the country where they are known: eta T
 Celcer's Patent CnrR.-M Messrs. Colver & Myers have applied the action of the atmosphere iu ehurn- ing butter, in the simplest and yet most successful manner possible. It appears indeed, impossible to combine the effect successfully, with any more simple mode. The churn is square box, with wheel in the inside resembling common paddle wheel. having it's buckets made concaye, and by turning a simple crank on the outside. butter is made from new sweet-milk in five minutes. We have seen it done frequently by this churn. The proprietors are selling FIFTY per day ia this city and indeed, they cannot get them manufactured fast enough for the increasing demand This new discovery will assist everybody to butter their bread.--M Louis Repsille
 Coioey's Patent Butter ChErn Is taking finely in this region. We understand tho patentee for keu- lucky received orders for more than fifty on yes- ienday, and that the demand is much greater ut present than he Is able to supply. At that rate he will soon realize snug little fortune in this Staie--AaysUiAe KeatHcky, Ea9ls.
 We understand that the demand for this churn, for the retail trade, Is increasing daily, as on trial tby those who arc using them) they succeed ad- mirabiy.
