The Administration has at last had it's

them must he ANYTHING but agreeable, after

tory, in virtue of his office as Governor

has forbidden the Federal troops to enter
the territory. In word he has declared
war against the United States, and fulfilled
the confident predictions of all well advised
observers, and all the previous indications

LEAvITT'S LATEST IMPROVED
CORN AND cob MILL.
Young America Excelsior.

HIHE attention of the Farmers Of
Il Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Mcal-IIorse feed gem
erally--and Meal from Shelled Corn.
1t is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use Of ground
food, because Of its more easy and complete
digestion.
il is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
at less cost, by the use Of food 50 prepared.
But while these principles Of true economy are
SO generally understood, many have been I'M
willing toprocure suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public, with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the Mil, in
grinding for the use Of an average sized farm
will wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the e. Little Giant, y
Granger Magic MILL" etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obviated, as ii is Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates, 1.-THE only parts
that wear OUT being two detached rings, cast
seperate from the main and expensive parts Of
the Mill, each bolted on with three small bolts,
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at Il cost ofonly 50.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over heother Portable Iron Mills
in use, that the regulating Of the fneness Of
grinding is dcGe ~ simply turning enc central
set screw The meal instead Of being scattered
uround as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rearend
Of the sweep as a balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all others OF
the kind.
This mill will grind from to 90 bushels per
hour, according to lineness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50, including an extra set of grind
ing places making it equal TO two ordinary
Mills. They will be promptly delivered at any
point on the Railroad or in the District OF
Columbia, freight from Baltimore added.
