One NIGHT Observation-Disclosures has deter
mined to give one more entertainmentin this city,
prior to his departure for Charleston. The pro-
ceeds arising from the performance, however, ale
to be turned over to Mr.. j. NJ. Weston, the gem
tlemanly Agent and Secretary, who has won the
esteem of all with whom he has become acqlaint-
ed during his brief sojourn in this city. The pro-
glamme for this evening enumerates new tents
never before attempted in this city, and we need
scarcely assure the public that Macallister will
perform every thing he undertakes with consumate
skilland unequaed gracefulness. He is, beyond
all doubt, the most accomplished Magician of tho
age.

How JENNY FIXED 1r.-The New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Saturday Des-
patch gives usthe following glance at Jenny Lind's
husband, and the way she fixed the marriage pre-
liminaiies. The description of Otto's character
is less fattering than some of his lady's admirers
would wish, and Jenny is shown to have exhbi-
ted the same cuteness in her love affair that has
characterized all her business transactions. She
possesses a great deal Iaore than Yankee shrewd-
ness
"Mr Goldsmith is a small, thin, weak human
article, extremely inclined take cure of himself;
and has just aposttaized from the Jewshiath to the
Christian. He won Jenny by an assiduity of atten-
ton beyond all parallel. He never left her side.
Her tastes were his, her opinions were his own
And In wedding hem, Jenny firmly and legally Sc
arranged all her property that her husband will
never be able to touch penny of it, and he sub
mits to such weekly allowance ofpocket money
ect'' as IN her Judgment, his good conduct may
deserve. These are all facts, and you may de-
pend upon them.''

A New Agricultural Machimc.

The Albany Argus describes an invention which
is designed TO supersede the plough the harrow, the
roller and the man who SONS the seed. 1t says:
Yesterday we were shown the model of new,
and what purports to be a valuable improvement in
of the laborious departments of the agricG!tu-
ralst. and for which the inventor procured patent
in April of the present year. 1t embodies in one i'm
pIement the capacity for ploughing with four ploughs
scattering the seed in the burrows. narrowing and
rolling. The ploughs arran sed at suitable dis
ances in front of the carts, and the number can be
diminished at pleasure, or four used Immediately
following, and attached to the poughs. the buck
cts for the reception of the secd-corn included
and from which il is distributed. The harrows fol-
low behind the wheels of the cart, and the rollers
bring up the rear On the platform of the cart. and
forming part oft, is basin, of the same width.
which is the receptacle of the seed. is Immediately
the buckets. and the cart goes forward. it is
arranged to allow the seed to fall in suitable
quantities in the buckets below. The platform is
large enough for the driver and will also accommo-
date several bags of grain, The harrows are also
the width of the cart in two pieces, also the
rollers, for more easy passage the ground The
entire arrangement be removed with ease and
the cart used in other capacities about the farm.
The inventor is Mr.. Henry Beebe, a young me-
chanic of this city While it appears to be valua-
bic improvement, and has received the appreciation
of many distinguished agricuuralists its utility re.
mains to be tested.'
