Will plant point rows and all irregular shaped
fields, without sowing any part twice over.
With a saving Of from 10 to 10 per cent. IN
labor, it will, with ease for two horses, plant
from 10 to - acres per day of wheat, oats,
barley, and other small grains; and with one
man and horse, it will readily plant from 10 TO
20 acres per day Of Indian corh' beans Feas'
ruta bagas, &c.
II will save from 2 to 3 pecks OF seed per
acre. and yield from Is to 20 per cent. more
than the broad cast seeding, by distributing
the grain uniformly at any desired depth, aud
Leaving a ridge Of earth between the rows
The roots of the young plant are protected
during the winter by the action OF the frost
and rain mou.dering the earth upon them, in
stead Of being thrown cut and exposed as in
broad cast On this account the stalk is
stronger and less subject to miIdew, and is not
so Liable TO injury by The fly.
The farmer is frequently prevented by rain
from narrowing in lis grain after il is sown,
which narrowing Is needless in seeding with
tbs machine as it completes the lo0rk al once.

Americas Ansk4sssie..


Several specimens Of American antiqui.
ties have recently arrived in this city. They
were discovered by an American traveller,
whilst exploring the country Of the Sierra
Madre, near San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and
excavated from the ruins Of al ancient city.
the existence Of which is wtplly unknown
TO the present inhabitants, other by tradi.
ton OR history. They comprise two idols
and sacri6cial basin, hNwn from solid
blocks Of concrete sandstoie, and are now
in the most perfect state o. Preservation.
The removal Of theas' ,neavy pieces OF
statuary from the mountains was accom-
Plished by means Of wooden sleds, trans
ported by canoes to the mouth Of the Pa
nuco, and from thence shipped to this port.
The largest Of the idols was undoubtedly
the God of Sacrifice, and enc Of the most
important. IL is Of lile-siza and the only
complete specimen Of the kind that has ever
been discovered and brought away from the
country.
The smaller Idol is the Cod Of Sorrow,
to whom worshiPpers came o offer up their
devotions for the tears it shed and the relief
afforded them in their griefs. This statue is
diminutive, the carvings phin. and the
whole simply devised.
The Sacri6cial Basin meanres two feet
in diameter, and displays mut h skill and
truth in the workmanship. / is held by
two serpents entwned, with tleir heads re.
versed-the symbol Of eternity, which en-
tiers largely into the mythology Of the an
cient Egyptians. The Egyptin gallery Of
