LEAyITT's LATEST IMPROVED
CORN And COB Mill.
Young America Excelsior.

THE attention of the Farmers of
Il Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal-IIorse feed gen
efally-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.
1t is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
at less cost, by the use of food so 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 Mill, in
grinding for the use of an average sized farm
will wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the & Little Giant, -
" Changers Magic MILL" etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obviated, as it is a Permanent
Mill The Grinding Plates, 1.-THE only parts
that wear OUT being two detached rings, cast
separate from the main and expensive parts OF
the Mill, each boltcd on with three small bolts,
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at cost of only SO.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
in use, that the regulating Of the fneness OF
grinding is done by simply turning one 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 rear end
of the sweep as 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been introduced it has superseded all others Of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 fneness and the grinding
is light work for two horses
PRICE $50, including an extra set Of grind
ing places making il equal to two ordinary
Mills. They will be promptly delivered at any
point on the Railroad or in the District O
Columbia, freight from Baltimore added.
Orders by mail promptly attended to.

REMARKABLE FEArs OF A MAD Doe.--

| REMARKABLE FEATs OF A MAD Doe
A dog belonging to Mr.. James McKoy,
who lives four miles northeast of Au-
gusta, went mad, and in his travels COM
mitted the most extensive depredations.
Rumor has it that the dog had been Bit
ten three weeks previous to his going
mad, by another dog known to have been
rabid; but being great favoritc with
his master, he tied him up and refused
to kill him when attacked with the dis
ease, in his paroxysm, he broke from his
fastenings and escaped-having, howev-
or, before leaving his masters premises,
bit two of his horses, which have since
gone mad. lie then took course west
ward, on the Warsaw and Augusta road,
and when about three miles from his
starting point, overlook Mr.. Patchin,
who was returning home from Augusta
in wagon, to his home near Chill ono
of his horses the dog bit, and the animal
has since gone mad. He next overlook
two strangers on horseback, one of whom
was leading third horse; these three
horses the dog bit. but as the travellers
proceeded on their journey it is not known
whether fatal results followed or not. At
the residence of Mr.. James Mutt, where
he bit one horse, which has since gone

diately above the mighty boilers, where
the steam devil, for several minutes, had
been kissing ominously. Suddenly there
came a low, ipdescribable moan, like
that of some imprisoned fend-it was
the fend of fire struggling to get free
and then dull, sudden roar, or rather
a crash, and the front part of the cabin
was shivered, as if torn to pieces by a
thunderbolt! Both boilers had exploded
at once, and killed every person in that
part of the vessel, while those in the
ladies' cabin escaped without injury.

SUDDEN DEATH or TWO RELATIVES or
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN. The town and
neighborhood Of Fintona were thrown
into state Of CONSERVATION on Sunday
morning last, by the sudden demise Of

Saturday night, was apparently enjoying

BEAUTIFUL Tfouonr. There is but a
breath of air and beat of the heart be-
tween this world and the next. And in
the brief interval of painful and awful
suspense, while we feel that death is pre-
sent with us, that we are powcrless--
and the last faint pulse here is but the
PRELUDE of endless life hereafter
feel, in the midst Of the stunning calami-
ty about 10 befall us, that earth has no
compromising good TO mitigate the sever
ity Of our loss. But there is no grief
without some benefcent provision to
soften its intensoness. When the good
and lovely die, the memory Of their good
deeds, like the moonbeams on the stormy
sea, light up our dqrkcned hearts, and
lends to the surrounding gloom beauty
so sad, 20 sweet that we would not, il We
could, dispcl the darkness that cnvirons
them.

Cold For every mile that VIC leave
the surface of our earth, the temperature
falls degrees At forty-fve miles
distance from the globe we get beyond
the atmosphere, and enter, strictly speak
ing, into the regions of space, whose
temperature is 225 degrees below zero,
and here cold reigns in all its power. -
Some idea of this intense cold may DO
formed by stating that tho greatest cold
observed from the Arctic Circle is from
40 to 60 degrees below zero, and here
many surprising effects are produced. 49,
In the chemical laboratory, the greatest
cold that we can produce is about $50
degrees below zero. At this tempera-
ture, carbonic gas becomes solid sub
stance like snow. IL touched, il pro-
duces just the same effect on the skin as
red-hot cinder; it blisters the finger
like burn. Quicksilver or mercury
freezes nj 40 degrees below zero; that
is, " degrees below the temperature at
which water freezes. The solid mercury
may then be treated as other metals,
hammered into sheets, or made into
spoons; such spoons would, however,
melt in water as warm as ice 1t il
pretty certain that every liquid and gas
that VIC are acquainted with would be-
come solid il exposed TO the cold of tho
regions of space. The gas we light our
streets with would appear like wax; oil
would be in reality las hard as a rock y
pure spirit, which VIC have never yet
solidifcd, would appear like block Of
transparent crystal; hydrogen gas would
become quite solid, and resemble metal;
we should be able TO turn butter in
lathe like piece Of ivory; and the fra
grant odors Of flowers would have to DO
made hot before they would yield perfume.
These are few Of the astonishing effects
of cold -SeDtiuus pressc.

FACTS ABoUTTHE KORAN. The Koran
was written about A. D. 610. It's gene
raj aim was to unite the professions of
Idolatry and the Jews and Christians in
the worship of one God--whose unity
was the chief point inculcated--under
certain laws and ceremonies exacting obc-
dience to Mahomet and the prophet. 1t
was written in the Kcreish Arabic, and
this language, which certainly possessed
every fine quality, was said to be that of
paradise. Mahomet asserted that the
Koran was revealed TO him, during a
period Of twenty-three years, by the
Angel Gabriel. The style Of the volume
is beautiful, fluent and concise and
where the majesty and attributes Of God
are described it is sublime and magnif-
cent. Mahomet admitted the divine
mission both Of Moses and Jesus Christ.
According TO Gibbon, the leading article
Of faith which Mahomet preached is COM
pounded Of an eternal truth and a neces-
sary fiction. namely, that there is only
one God, and that Mahomet is the apos-
tie of God, The Koran was translated
into Latin in 1I43, and into English and
other European languages about 1853.

Marshall's Eulogy on clay.

Inc 1OllOWlng is an extract from q
speech delivered by Thos. Il. Marshall,
at Covington, KY, during the recent
political canvass, it is eloquent and beau
tiful. In speaking of the late life and
services of Henry Clay, he said:
1.-THE friends of Mr.. Clay mediate
the construction of a monument, to mark
the spot where repose the remains of that
frail tenement, which once held his fiery
soul. 1t will be honorable to them and
will form a graceful ornament to the
green woods which surround the city Of
which he had himself been so long the
living ornament, but it will be useless to
him or to his fame. He trusted neither
himself nor his fame to mechanical hands
or perishable materials. Z" E.cegit mon

them with the images of his form wrought
by the cunningest hands-it matters not
HE is not there. The prisoned eagle
has burst the bars, and scared away from
strife and conflict and calumny. He is
not dead. He lives, mean not the life
eternal in yon other world of which re.

the life of which men call fame, that life
the hope of which forms the solace O.

the brave and wise and good, the cham
