WAKEFIELD's PATENT CORN PLANTER
We rave had the pleasure of examining this
interesting and useful improvement, and 50
far as we can judge, it is a valuable inUen-
tioa-one which my be very useful to far
mers, and all persons engaged in the raising
OF corn, broom corn, or other similar seeds.
The following we copy from circular hand
ed US by the agent, which will give our read.
ers q correct idea of its construction and
use: .,......
"Tbis implement is designed for Planting
Corn, broom corn seeds, beans and similar
seeds. II is carried and used Gas represen-
ted in the above engraving) as cane or
walking stick; requiring no delay and no
additional motion or effort. Is adapted for
planting in rocky and uneven ground, and
in oil kinds Of soil. Is easily adjusted to
plant at any desired depth, and to drop any
required number of seeds IN hill.
The method or mode by which the seed is
planted with this Planter is NEW, and it is
believed possesses advantages over every
other, not only in facility of use, but in hast
ening termination. The seed is FORCED BY
PRESSURE oBL1QUELY from the surface OF the
ground to the required depth, thus ensuring
the immediate absorption of moisture, by
bringing it into perfect and hard contact
with the soil under and around it, while the
earth falling loosely over, cannot obstract
the coming up and growth of the blade.
The Planter is simple in copstruction-
not liable to get ont Of repair, weighs
about seven pounds, costs the farmer only
FIVE dollars, which price he can afford to pay,
il used only for planting in common gar.
den. With this implement one acre of corn
can be planted in the most perfect manner
in one hour"
We would respectfully iayits the atten-
tion Of the farming community, to this aew
improvement. MIR. GALLUP the agent, and
also one of the proprietors of the "above
patent" will be at the Prentiss House in
Rayenna, on Monday and Tuesday next, the
2lst and 22d inst. Those interested in the
improvement of agricultural improvements,
will find it to their advantage, to give him

and warren Railroad.

The following from the Ashland Union, in
relation to the affairs and condition Of the
Franklin and Warren Railroad, will be read
with interest The prospects Of the road
are bright, especially when we consider the
embarrassment in the prosecution of other
works Of the kind throughout the country
" Last week. DR.. CLARK, one Of the Di-
recturs Of this Road, made a statement Of its
condition. Whatever misgivings there may
have been relative to the Road heretofore,
we think since examining into the facts, not
only of the exhibit made in our last issue but
from personal inspection Of the Books, that
there can be no doubt but that the Road has
been honestly and judiciously managed. II
is great work, and, Of course, there are i'm
pediments thrown into the way calculated to
embarrass the Company. The slightest en-
barrasment, sometimes, is sufficient to alarm
Stockholders. We freely confess that at
one time we were somewhat sceptcal ourself,
but since examining into the facts we Know
that so far, all is we'll. The financial condi-
ton OF the Road is better than any other in
Ohio. To prove this we need only refer to
the fact, that whilst all the other Rail Roads
in the State have been compelled to stop
work, the Franklin and Warren goes on in
"the even tenor of its way" Hard times, as
might be expected, affects it some. Yet il
keeps moving, and when good times arrive
the cars will commence running. No Road
in Ohio has ever progressed SO FAR as this
one, upon the subscription OF Stockholders
This. of itself, speaks loudly in behal of the
Road. Whilst other Roads have been com.
PEELED to put their Bonds in market in order
to raise funds, this Road is able to wait fol
"the good time coming," before a dollar oI
their Bonds will be put into market. The
amount subscribed is sufficient to prepare the
Road for the Iron. Is this not better tRn
any Road ever attempted to be built in Ohio!
| The facts prove it. If, then, this is the fact
has not the Franklin aud Warren Rail Road
better reputation than any other Road in
the State with eastern Capital SITS!

Winter Evening-Friendly
Meeting,


Winter is the time, in the Agriculture dis
tricts particularly for evening meetings, to
exchange mutual ciVilities and courtesies,
for mutual consultations, and 10 cultivate So
cial and friendly feelings throughout society.
No neighborhood or school district should
omit to hold such meetings. not merely
meetings for simple antagonistic discussion a.
bout matters Indifferent or foreign TO our in
terests, as is often done. We have not much
interest in the question who is the greatest
man, Nicholas or Napoleon, or which is the
strongest passion, love or hatred, nor
"what vast difference there may be,
'TwiXt twedle dun and twedle deer
But we are mutually interested in the moral,
and intellectual progress of our neighbors
and in their general success, in the best mode
Of cultivating our farms, feeding stock, the
cheapest and best place and manner of purl
chasing the necessary store goods and grocer
les, Of furnishing the cheapest and best fund
of reading matter for ourselves and families
all proper and profitable subjects for con-
sultation. At such meetings the wants of
all should be freely made known, whatever
we would buy or sell, let or hire: and ar
rangements made for all desirable exchun-
ges, whether of produce, manufacturers, la.
Dor for equal value.
For such progress, and to systemize our
movements, regular associations shonld be
formed and sustained, and the proper officers
appointed and continued until superseded;
the meetings held weekly or oftener, at stated
times and places, when and where the prop
er offers should be puuctually on hand, to
call to order and propose business. One
important item Of business should be to as
certain the wants of the poor and needy and
devise means ofrelief. Among these wants,
besides shelter, food, clothing and schooling
shou Id also be included, one of the weekly
papers of the town or county, which should
be furnished to each family unable to pro-
/, cure and pay for one. Such meetings shoul
be, in fact, made interesting for the general
and common good of all; for moral, social,
friendly, benevolent, pecuniary and econom-
icaL proposes; by mutual concert, and instruc
ton.
Another object of such neighborly associa,
tions should be, to conciliale all neighbor.
hood difficulties, by mutual "moral suason, -
to prevent quarreIs and law suits. Thus q
vast amount Of good might be effected, much
cost, trouble and wraugIing saved, for rarely
ever is law suit profitable to either party
and never to both or to society, as may be
shown to parties disposed to, litigation.

special NOtices-1Iarriages, &c

Some time since, the Portage County De-
mocrat and the Portage Sentinel, adopted the
plan of charging twenty-five cents for all
Notices of Marriages, Deaths, Religious and
other meetings. In doing SO, we but follow
cd the example of many leading papers
throughout the State, and We acted upon the
principle, that "the laborer is worthy of his
hire" Since then, having consulted with
our friends in regard to the matter, we have
concluded to change the notice. Hereafter
all Notices of Marriages, and Deaths, Gun
accompanied by obituaries), will be inserted
gratis. Our friends may therefore send on
their notices, and they will be published
without charge. ...

"IHAvE SEEN sAM!"


An appropriate song will be sung as
kind of John the Baptist, to what is to fol
low.
1t is hard for bricklayer to spend the
the winter and 10 excitement"
Mr.. WoLF, as is indicated by the forego-
ing notice, is u brick4ayer by trade. He has
the reputation here, Of being an honest and
industrious mechanic, and he makes no pre-
tensions to superior scholarship.
Pursuant to said notice, a large meeting
. convened at the Town Hall, in the evening.
His remarks were listened to, with interest.
1t appears from his own statements that
several weeks ago, he WAS induced to join
the order of Know Nothings. Having been
fairly initiated and made fully acquainted
with the nature of their, oaths, obligations,
and objects, he became convinced that they
were in violation of his duties as member
of society. and citizen Of government, and
that the only way he could preserve his in
dependence as u man, or integrity as citi-
zen, was to come out boldly, and renounce,
all allegiance to the proscriptiye and tyran-
nical edicts OF the order. This he has done,
and every honest man must approve his
course of conduct.
Mr.. WoLF is nit alone. There are many
in Portage County who joined the Know
Nothing party during the excitement of the
campaign, and who now desire to separate
themselves from it.
When we consider the character of the
oaths which are taken by the members of
this order--oaths which strip a man of his
manhood which violate every principle
Of humanity and common justice, and bind
him to tho performance of acts in some in
stances, of dsgraceful and criminal nature,
We cannot but regard it as virtue in
any man to violate such obligations, and de-
nounce the order which imposes them upon
its members. -.
