Excelsior Corn Will.

We take pleasure in calling the attention Of our
readers to the advertisement of this MILL to be
found in our paper OF to-day. We t. Ike the follow
ing notice of il from the Louisville DeD0erat while
it was on exhibition at the recent National Fair
We learn also that it took the premium at the Ohio
and Indiana State Fairs, the present year:
we had occasion diff r-r times during the e1-
hibirion to fer TO the above machine. The man
ner il performs work is really astonishing. The
draugtt is light and it is not subject TO breaking
as others for tn, same purpose. The arrangement
of the is such that the grinding Is done
". the grain striking all p,rt- at the some time
II can be maze to grind fine at pleasure.
1t does not choke in damp grain, nor Is it apt to
break by the accidental dropping ia of n stone or
any hard substance. One peculiar merit IL posses
ses H. that when the grin ing surfaces We out,
they can be replaced a triaing expense by those
least skilled in mechanics.
There have been sold within the past year over
six tho sand of these valuable machines which
have been used and pronounced perfect hy farmers
who are the best Judges of su n things, speak IN
qualifrdy in th ir favor. They Gr to farmers in
valuable, and il has been decided from actual trial
that grain thus ground b. fore FEEDING, is saving OF
at least forty per cent. These mills cost when put
in running order ready only $50 ard their
structon is simple they be- used by any farmer
and u machine which combines such valuable adj
Vanttg.s the one IN question, should be placed
th' farm of every farmer in the county. IL, as
remarked before. is durable, and can be used many
years without expense. The principle on which it
is constructed Is consistent with reason, aud the
which has attended its use, is, OF i-e al
one, sufficient induce any farmer TO have it. As
antici ated, on vest rday the first premium WAS
aw arded it at the exhibition just closed This Is
indeed a national triumph rendered important by
the formidable competition against it. The cele-
bratrd " Little Giant" under the skilliul superiu-
trndence OF Mr. Hedge, the proprietor, and manaR-
ed TO good advantage, as was also the "Star Mill"

THE WASHING TON RAT CATASTROPHE.
DEATH OF ANOTHER VICTIM

IL was hoped, when, wsek or two ago. we informed
our readers Of the extraord arg rumo regarding the
rat poisoning At the National Hotel in Washiog-
ton, no further developments would manifest the n.
selves beyond the sckn Of the guests who had
partaken freely Of the water provided for their use
but The CtUelond PlQindealer subsequently informed
that Mr.. Leno1, from the State of Ohio who had
been tojOurning at Washington, ard who guest at
the National Hotel at the time Of the excitement caused
by go much Sickness, twas taken sick, started for
"home and died on the way" AID in our columns Of
yesterday was a notice Of the death Of the wife Of a
respectable citizen CT New.York, who il is rumored,
died victim to sickness caused by participation Of the
water drawn from the tanks OF the National Hotel al.
Washington. The following is the notice alluded TO-.
"On Wednesday evening March IL, in the 9th
year Of her age Susan Martha wife fJay l.. Adams,
and only daughter of Peter Il Warner"
This lady, according to the information received by
cur reporter having been on visit TO Savannah,
returning home by way of Warrington, where she
stopped at the National Hotel She was taken with
violent fit of sickness, presenting the same symptoms
as the other Victims and upon returning home to New
York became rapidly wore, until Wednesday evening
last when che died OF course rumor at once gave
the origin of the cause Of her death location, and
put it down the place mentioned above Although an
effort was made to suppress any tendency which would
give such rumor publicity aid thereby leave an i'm
preston of its validity upon the public mind, yet it
trans pred sufficiently 10 reach the of reporter
who, upon inquiry yesterday, asceraned that post
MOTE examination had been made to determine upon
the cause of death. At first the cause Of Mrs.
Adsmss death had been set down as lin
fsmmation on the lupgs." This, however it
would seem has been superseded by the re-
suit Of the post-mortem examination, which, it is
sad was conducted by four OF the sbiest physicians
in the city. The statement made to reporter was
the following: "That the stomach was ascertaned
"to have been partially eaten away; the bowels man
"fesed symptons of violent inflammation; the lungs
"were congo sted and the kidneys severely Affected
These results reluctantly narrated to two or three
friends, who have nsmed il over again; and as there
is no disgrace in btiug accidentally the victim in such
a case as that at Washington, or in being rested to
victim, we give this to our readers-not With any de-
sire to parade before the public anything of revolving
character. but rather as an incentive to care aud
wstchfuness IN any attempt to destroy vcrmin There
may be other instances in which death has ersued in
which ike care has been exercised to prevent pub
Hc.y. While we deeply sympatbze with those who
are deprived of valued and beloved friends yet we
can see no reason why the public should not know the
of the want Of foresight or calculation

allegation Ct Geographic correspondent at Baltimore
that 20 in ut was offered to Nj Buchanan or his es
cort while they were in that city;

although the above communication to THE TRiDrNE

sui stantially correct Mr. Buchanan wa. i1suted
in Baltimore City by q gang of rowdies, wac
hss.d and shouted as the csrrisge in which he
was seated passed by and much as the people OF Bal

proved by numbers Of our citizens who were present.
That stones were repeatedly throw among the process

Thereby. is a fact too well known for denial Neither
