Farmers, Look Here!

He manufactures Ball d. Posts SCULTIVATOR,
new article patented April 9th, 1852, to which he
would call the attention of agricuturists. As la
Dor saving machine, it is capable of doing double
the amount of work of any ordinary Cultvator.-
This implement has two long shares, one on each
side constructed of steel and fastened the mould
boards in such manner to move the entire sur
face of the ground, thereby cutting all roots and
weeds that come in contact with the shares which
may be graduated by the clevy to run from two to
six inches in depth.
The three small plows attached to the shares an
swer the same purpose of the common tooth cult
vator, and in addition to the shares and plows is n
metallic blade rake attached to the rear of the Cul-
tivator, which serves to cut and break up the sod
and hard Jumps, leaving the earth in fine and pull
verized condition The effectiveness of this cultiya
tor renders second hoeing unnecessary, which is Il
saving of time and labor
Mr.. Perrin also manufactures larger sized ma
chine, constructed upon the principle as the
above, but with larger shares, and containing two
small plows in addition to the corn cutivator which
is designed to put in grain, and working upon sum
mer fallows. They are Hght, end Of dura6ie con-
strnction, readily handled and Of easy draugM.
This CULTIvAToR obtained the first premium at

BRoTHEs, % Park Row, opposite the Astor House,
New York, offer one of the most extensive Stocks
and Complete Assortments in the country
Of Boohs and Stationery, for Cash only.
The amount of goods in our line purchased by the
country merchants is usually quite small compared
with their dry goods hardware, and other bills and
this very circumstance absolutely compes jobbers
in the Book business, who sell time, to get large
profits in order to make up for the losses and extra
expenses necessarily involved in credit business of
small amounts. 1t is also easy for the merchant to
make arrangements to buy his book bill for cash
though it might not be so convenient for him to pur
chase his larger bills in this way.
These considerations have led us to adopt in our
business from this date, January 1854 the following
principles, to wit: Small profits unvaryng prices
and terms Arrays cash.
Being ourselves the sole publishers of number
of the leading and most extensively selling School
Books in the country, well works in other de-
partments, our facilities are unsurpassed.
Call upon us, send an order, and judge for your
selves if the saving you can make by buying of u:
for cash, is worth while. MASON BROTHERS,

And nv Heart Toe.

a few years ago, when it was the Gus
tom Tor the larger girls and larger boys to
attend district schools, and when nagella-
lions were more common in school than al
the present time, an incident took place
in neighboring town, which is worth
recording. One OF The largest, pIumPest,
and tairest girls of the school happened to
violate one of The teachers rules. The
master, prompt, energetic fellow OF
twenty-five summoned her into the middle
OF the floor. After interrogaling the girl
d few moments, the master took q ruler,
and commanded her to hold out her band.
She hesilated, when the master, in a blaze
of passion, Numbered out-"WiiI YOU
give me your hand !'' "Yes sir. and my
heart too" promptly replied the girl, at
the same time stretching forth her hand to
the master and eyeing him with cum
ming look. A dealh-lke silence reIgned
for moment in the school-room, tear
was seen 10 glisten in the teachers eye ;
the ruler was laid upon the desk, and the
blushirg girl was requested TO take her
seal. but to remain after the school was
dismissed. IN three weeks after the
school finished, the teacher and the girl
were married.-Pqimer'S Farmer.

Artesian Fountain.

The Artesian Well, near Frederick
intended 10 give a supply of water TO the
Reservoir for that place, is bored a sufi,
eient depth to cause water to issue from
the top. The Examiner says:
"The amount of wafer discharged, not
wiihstandng the leakage and waste, is %
gallons per minute, by actual measure,
men, The leakage is estimated to equal
the discharge, so that the present capacity
of ,he fountain is 80 gallons per minute.
The temperature of the water Is scnslbIy
higher than that of superficial water, thus
proving the depth from which it a,cenLs.
The leak occurs at the foot of the log,
where the cement has broken away. Tne
depth of tie shaft, on Saturday, was 5tt
feet, to be continued to 600 feet, and then
trimmed ont to the uniform diameter OF )!
inches. Tho top Of the log is 81 feet
higher than the Receiving Reservoir OF
the present Water Works, which is I31
yards distant Up to this time. the total
cost, including engine, fixtures and mate
rial, is less than $4,000.
P.S. Just as we arc going TO press,
the Mavor informs Us that another stream
of water was reached yesterday, and the
fountain now sends up q much larger
quantity"
