F.. "EXCE[S[OR" :
CORN AN D. COB%MIbLug

The FARMING COMMUNITY, having
Become generally convinced Of the great i'd
vantngeof grinding Corn and Cob for Stock,
The only question TO be considered is which Is
the best Mill for the purpose! In all the
cast iron Mills heretofore offered, a very seri.
Gus objection has existed, a want ofdurabilty,
or liability soon to wear OUT. In the Excel
sior" that objection is removed: The grinding
surface, which is the only part liabl" to wear
out, consists Of rings and casts separate from
the mill, and when worn out can be removed
and replaced ut cost of three dollars. This
mill is strong, simple in construction, easily
put up, and can be moved from place to place
without difficulty, and will crush l5 bushels
per hour of com and cob for stock, an grind
meal for family use. The Excelsior" Was
awarded the highest premium at the greattr
al of Agricultural implements in Nashville on
the 1th, 9th and 9th of June, 1856, md in a
contest with the Improved "Llitle Giant in
Nashville, August 3O,h, 1856, the Excelsior"
was awarded silver cup This Mill is fur.
nished all complete with two pairs of grind
ing rings which makes it equal to two mills,
at the low price Of fifty dollars. This Mill
slanus upon less' IL put up IN snort time ny
any ordinary farm hand and unlike oil other
Corn Crushers discharges the meal from one
point directly into half bushel. Persons
wanting the above Mill. or wishing TO pur-
chase County Rights will please address the

EVERETTS LAST GRAFTON.

The oration on the " Uses of Astrono-
my, recently delivered by EDWARD Ev-
ERETT, in Albany, at the inauguration of
the Dudly Observatory, was one of the
eloquent orators most finished and brill
liant productions. We have only space
for the subjoined brief extracts:
There is much, in every way, in the
city of Florence to excite the curiosity, to
kindle the imagination, and to gratify
the taste. Sheltered on the north by the
vine-clad hills of Fiesole, whose Cyclic
pean walls cary back the antiquary to
ages before the Roman, before the Etrus-
can power, the fiowery city (Florenza)
covers the sunny banks of the Arno with
its stately palaces. Dark and frowning
piles Of medieval structure, a majestic
dome, the prototype of st. Peters basili-
cas- which enshrine the ashes of some OF
the mightiest Of the dead, the stone where
Dante stood to gaze on the eampanile,
the house of Michael Angelo, still oeu-
pied by descendant of his leinage and
name, his hammer, his chisel, his diyi-
ders, his manuscript poems, all as if he
had left them but yesterday-airy bridges
which seem not so much to rest on the
earth as to hover over the waters they
span the loveliest creations Of ancient
art, rescued from the grave Of ages agair
TO +" enchant the world the breathing
marbles of Michael Angelo, the glowing
canvass of Raphael and Titan, museumi
filed with medals and coins Of every az,
from Cyrus the younger, and gems anC
anuleis and vases from the sepulchres 0
Egyptian Pharaohs eoeval with Joseph
and Etruscan Lucumons that swayed Il
ally before the Romans,--libraries store,
with the choicest texts Of ancient Litera
ture,-gardens Of rose and orange an'
pomegranate and myrtlc,-the very al
You breathe languid with music and pei
: fume,-such IS Florence. But anon
