TO the Farmers OF Iowa.
McCOrmick's Reaper.

UHE subscriber, as the authorized
agent of G. Ii. Mccormick, for
the sale of his justly celebrated Patent
Virginia Reaper, is now in the southern
portion of Iowa, and will visit the coun-
lies of Lee. Desmoines, Henry, Jefler-
son, Wapello, Van Buren,, Davis. &c
With the late valuable Improvements,
this is unquestionably the best, if not
the only Reaping Machine in this Sec
ton of the country. Mr.. Mccormick
was the first to introduce successfully
the cutting of grain by horse power,
and from his great experience having
sold in the West thousands) il would be
strange if he had not The best Machine
now in use. | have with me testimoni-
ais of the great value and extensive use
of this machine TO the Western Farmers
in saving their crops. Throughout Hill
nois where great efforts have been made
TO introduce other machines, McCor-
mick, as the writer fully believes, has
sold and is selling fifty To one, over any
machine. An extensive system of in.
! frlngement and imposition upon the pub
lie has been practiced in the West by
! the sale of his Reapers altered somewhat,
mot TO improve) but to evade his patent
Suits are commenced against the parties,
and many are the overtures for COM
promise offered by them, but rejected
by Mr.. Mccormick upon the ground
that d right stolen from him is not a fit
subject for compromise, and can only
| be remedied by full restoration. Sey-
mour a. Morgan, of Brockport, New
York. who served three years under Mr..
Mccormick, and learned what they
know Of him, are the largest operators
in The line of Infringement upon his
Patent. They are eujoined. | have
the papers with me to show how the
whole matter stands, with copies Of the
Injunction which will leave at all the
prominent points in the district nan ed,
when it is understood that all persons
using Machine Illegally made or sold,
in violation of the rights of the Paten-
Tee, are equally as liable as the manu-
facturer, or seller, and can be sued and
made to pay damages to the Patentee,
and can be prevented by Injunction
from using such machine, il will be per
ceived that the system OF operations
above alluded to, is not only fraud up
on The Patentee, but is a gross fraud up
on those to whom machines thus made
are sold. Farmers wishing machines
by leaving their address at the post office
at The county seat of their county, direc,
ted to me, will ensure call. Orders
can also be addressed TO Chttenden &
McGavic, Keokuk; j. l.. Montandon

To ensure machine this harvest, i
would be well to forward orders early
The Machines are warranted 10 perform
well, or they can be returned.

following:
DRowNED.-A little girl named Mary
Jane Sewell, was drowned at the door
steps of her fathers residence, near the
railroad depot, in this place.
In town like this, where the water
is from three to five feet deep in the
shallowest parts, parents cannot watch
their children too closely; and, it has
been a mater of no lillle surprise TO US
that they will permit their children some
Of them not more than five or six years
old, TO paddle about the streets upon flat
boat gunneis, planks, etc. We trust
that the sad fate of the little girl will
serve TO make parents more mindful of
the dangers to which their children are
hourly subject.-Boyou Sara Ledger,

Alabama Politics Again.

Mr.. Yancy's nomination in the Mont
gomerv (Ala.) District, as the secession
candidate for Congress, appears to be re-
pudiaied by both of the great parties.
The Advertiser and Gazette, strong
Southern Rights press, Democratic i'll
It's general politics, attacks the movement
with ,icor and determination, as impoliIic
and mischeivous, and declares for the
nomination of regular Democratic
candidate. The Journal, which is a
Wing paper, iavors The nomination of a
Union candidate, which some of the
Democrati papers declare means mere
ly Wing candidate. Under such cir
cumstances, Mr.. Yancy's run will show
what is the real strength of disunionism
per Sc in that district.
In the adjoining district, Mr.. S. w.
Harris, the late Representative, has been
warmly urged to be a candidate for re-
election. lie was one of the most de-
clded adversaries of the Compromise,
and has been ranked among the most ul-
ira in the State. He has, however, writ
ten letter for publication, wherein he
separates himself from the Yancey
movement, and makes unequivocal dec
larations against secessionism and against
the movements about TO emanate from
South Carolina. r............... ...
Mr., Harris says that he is not, and
never has been, the advocate of separate
State secession, unless ii be when the
grievance complained of is confined to
the State SO seeding. When more
States than one are the subject of a com.
mon wrong, no one, he thinks, should
prccipitately do what may be disastrous
to all. "Hence," he adds, IL would vote
against The secession of Alabama alone
from the Union, if majority Of her
people were for il TO day. And trust
that, in the approaching convention OF
South Carolina, other counsels will pre-
vail than such as will place her hey ond
the pale of the Union" .. ... a.....H
In regard TO the Compromise, he in
dicales his reluctant acquiesence in wha'

GEOLOGICAL FORMATION OF Iowa
Coal BEDs.-The following is extract
ed from report of the principal Geolo-
gist, DR. OWEN, to Scientific Conven-
lion lately held in Cincinnati:
Along the western confiues of the Du-
buque District in Iowa, the upper mag
nesian limestone is succeeded by cal
careous formation OF more recent geo.
logical epoch, which corresponds to the
Devonian system Of Europe. ltextends
west to the Iowa river and is seen about
twelve miles above Iowa City. Thence
il extends in south east direction to-
wards the Mississippi, i'll zone about
30 miles in width. ' ".
Between johnson and Iowa counties
an uplit of carbonilerous sandstone is
encountered, which is probably near the
eastern limits of the Des Moines coal
field. The Iowa river meanders near the
eastern margin of this coal field, but the
seams presented on the river are of infe-
lrior quality. 1t is upward of Two humid
red miles in the direction of the valley
of the Des Moines across this great coal
field. Westwardly il extends from the
Des Moines river nearly across the state
of Iowa. and includes considerable por-
ton of Missouri.
The entire area of this coal field, in
Iowa alone, cannot be less than 10000
square miles, in all, embracing coun-
try nearly equal in extent to the State of
Indiana. Although of SO great an area,
this western coal field is comparatively
shallow in Iowa, probably hardly ex-
ceeding fifty fathoms in thickness. 1t
consists of three well marked DIVISIONS
lower calcareous about one hundred
feet thick; middle argiIlaceous from fif-
ty to one hundred feet thick; and an up
per si!iceous from eighty TO one hundred
and twenty-five feet thick. The beds
OF coal at present discovered>are conhn-
ed to the middle division, and are hence,
probably, not over one hundred feet in
thickness. 80 aa

LOVE OF MARRIED LIFE.-The af-
feciion that inks together man and wife,
is far holer and more enduring passion
than the enthusiasm of young love. 1t
may want lis orgeousness--lt may want,
its imaginative character, but it is far
richer in holy and trusting attributes.-
Talk not to US of the absence of love in
wedlock. What! because a man has
ceased to "sigh like furnace" are we
TO believe that the fire is extinct? No, it
burns with steady and brilliant fame;
shedding benign influence upon exist
ence, million times more precious and
delightful than the cold dreams Of philos-

in the place, exposed to the hail, had
more or less glass broken. Injury, we
apprehend has been done to the fruit
trees in the vicinity, and on the opposite
side of the river.

accidents, a crevasse in Main street.
