sHANDss PATENT FOB DRESSING M1ILsToNEs

A year ago Mr.. ]. G. Stands of this city,
invented machine for dressing millstones
which was afterwards exhibited at the Crystal
Palace, New York, and was rewarded with
premium, and for which he has since obtained
letters patent. Those millers who have exam
ined the machine acknowledge its merit, and
no one can doubt its introduction into immedi-
ate use. Any practical miller can dress pair
of burr-stones in half tho time which is ordi-
narily required to do it in the usual method,
and it will be better done. The machine makes
clear, clean, tbread-like mark and does not
break the face of the stone. 1t can be control
led at the will of the operator--and he can
make the most delicate lick, and one giving the
force Of ten pounds, if required The machine
will last for twenty years; and any one who
has experience enough in milling to know what
is required to sharpen the face of a stone for
grinding, can soon learn TO do good job with
it. Other advantages are claimed for the ma
chine, but these are enough to bring it into
general use. MIR. Stands is now mapufactur-
ing machines, and will sell rights to those who
may desire to purchase. See bis advertisement.

speech He denounced the Nebraska bill,
and said that although the Legislature had,
beioTc its passage, almost unanimously voted
against it. he had no doubt that all the Old

support of the measure within three months.
Mr. Morrill, declared that those who supported
Inn would uphold man infexibly opposed to

repeal. He was ready for the fight, and ne

however, il, that our Southern friends co not

AUTUMNAL SONNET.

Now autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods,
And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt,
And night by night the monitory blast
Walls in the key-hole, telling how 1t passed
Der empty fields. DER upland sotudes,
Or grim wide wave and now the power is felt
0fmelancholy, rendered in its moods
Than any joy indulgent summer dealt.
Dear friends, together in the glimmering eve,
Pensiye and glad, with tones that recognize
The soft Invisible dew Of each ones eyes,
1t may he, somewhat thus we shall have leave
To walk with memory, when di slant lies
Poor earth, where we were wont to live and greye.
W. ALLISeHAM.
