the Horse, can do SO at any time.
1t is conceded by good judges that he is the
best Horse in the county, and second to none of
the highly celebrated Morgan Horses in the
world. He is six years old; is of a dark brown
color, with a heavy black name and tail, and
black legs, and handsomely proportioned; is a
frst-class trotter; lis over fifteen hands high;
weighs nearly 100 fbs., and is the best muscled

Sale of the Machine.

The sale of this machine from the time the first one
was built, in 1850, is unparalleled in the history of Now
ing and Reaping Machines, and is in itself the best and
most reliable evidence which can be offered of its merits.
and of the high estimation in which it is held by the
farmers of our country. Mr.. NANNY completed his first
working machine and brought it into use in 1850. A
glance at the table will show how rapidly it has come
into favor:

We point to these results as triumphant evidences of
its merits. To donbt such testimony woHld be an insult
to the thousands of intelligent farmers who have paid
their money and now have their machines in successful
use.

NOTECE.-Whereas, it appears from an examination of
~ the papers of Mr.. RuXtOn, eX-captain of the Protectorate
schooner Rob Roy, deceased on board the Caroline Hort, dur
ing the passage of said vessel from Sydney to Tahiti, as well as
from other particular sources:
LIST, That said captain had taken, from the bark Julia 4an.
wrecked at the Scily Islands, the sum of 3l04 soveregns.
ID, That when the Rob Roy was wrecked on the Navigator
Islands, said Ruxton declared that he had not saved more than
424 sovereigns out 31O4 formerly taken, of which fact there is
great doubt, since a great number of articles of smaller value
were saved.
Sd, That it is suspected that said Ruxton has embezzled, for
wrecked a second time with the Rob Roy )
The {" COmman1ant Particular Commissioner of H.. l. III.
in the Society Islands, has ordered that an inquest be made by
the Justice of Peace, acting dd interim as Judge of Instruction.,
upon the facts above stated.
From said inquest, during which Mr.. Charlton, second In
command of the Rob Roy, did not appear, by reason of absence,
neither the crew, and whose testimony was very important, it
appears:
That said Ruxton made, at Sydney, excessive expenses, out
of proportion with his situation and with what he was known to
possess when he left Tahiti.
That, in answer to one of the witnesses inquiring from him
how he was able to spend so freely, he declared that he had re-
ceived money as assistance from a Scotch society named
Scotia.
That, after the demise of said RuXton, CO sovereigns and four
dollars, as well as some goods and jewery, were found in his
possession, the origin of which cannot be explained.
In consequence, the Commissioner of ii. /. NJ. has decided
that the present abstract should be published in the official
newspaper, so that all interested parties may present their
claims upon the succession of said Ruxton, delivered into the
hands of the British Consul, who will preserve it during one year
from this date.
