and ThraShers.

TIE Subscriber respectfully informs cotton
planters that he has recently effected an improve
m"nt in the Cotton Gin, and is prepared to
have Gin that any hand can attend.
His improvement is that the Gin so construc-
ted that it will not choke, break its roll, nor
'spcw over (uS it is called let there be ever so
much or little in the hopper 1t will roll while
there is any cotton in the hopper, or it may be
filled full, and any quantity rakcd on the top, and
it willnot stop its roll nor "Spew over" Another
improvement is, that the brush is secured en-
urciy from the rats which so often detroy it.
There are also several other Important Improve
ments which would be tedious 10 specify. He
will warrent that with one of his 45 saw gins,
from to bales per day. may be ginned, ifwell
attended, and the proper power applied The
workmanship, materials and finish will be the
best ever offered to the public; and if any does
not pretorm in every respect as represented
above, it will be taken back and the price re-
funded
He has also made another Improvement on
his Thrasher, which has cxcelled all others here
toiorc i'll use. lie need not describe it further
than to say that his Thrashers cannot be exceil-
ed by any, without exceptions.

living interest and excitement of the great polit-
lcal events Of the time shall have passed away.
IL Is TO these Periodicals that readers must look
for the only really ineligible and reliable histo-
ry OF currcnt events, and as SUCH in addition to
their well,esablished literary, scientific, and the
ologlcal character, we urge them upon the con.
sidcration OF the reading public.
Arrangements are in progress for the receipt
OF early sheets from the British Publishers, by
which we shall be able 10 place all our Reprints

they can be furnished with the foreign copies. -
