Typographical Map of Addison
County,

Published by BAKER & TiLDEv, Boston.
This is a new production, which will be
most heartily welcomed by every one There
is no class OF business to which it will not
prove advantageous, The enlerprsing pub
fishers have here supplied the public with
Map, which in correctness of detail and gen.
eral information is unequalled in anything of
the like character we have ever seen, 1t is
in convenient form, and will be an indis-
pensable appurtenance to every household in
the county. II is nearly five feet square,
beautifully colored, and has every town in
the county laid out in the most minute detail,
giving every town road and residences there
on, railroad, every stream, even to trout
brook, all the ponds, &c. &c.
Every village of any size, is drawn on the
margin, showing all the streets, with the
houses thereon, giving the names of the prop
erty holders. There is also scale of miles
a table Of distances, to and from every viii
lagc H. tho county. Also a very valuable
table of the latest statistical information,
showing tho population Of each town, the
number of schools, scholars and teachers,
the agricultural productions, &c. &c, 1t is
no catch penny affair but can be relied upon
implicitly, as Messrs Baker and Tilden have
had largo experience in the business, and the
result Of their labors can be found through
out the Western and New England States,
where they are taken as authority. We ear
nestly commend it to all our friends in the
county, and can assure them at the same tune
that they will find polite and afiable gentle
men to deal with in the persons Of Mr.. Baker
and his partner. How so extensive and val
liable a map can be sold for so small sum
asked is certainly wonder, even in these
days of labor saving. The price is only FIVE
dollars. The Publishers are now in the coun
ty, and will commence delivering to the subs
scrbcrs, rs fast as they can get to them,

vent the spread OF the flames. The fire
was undoubtedly the work of an incendi.

to burn the Franklin Hotel, and the

ject of the rascals 10 firing different parts
of the town was to distract the iuhabi.

TINE undersigned having been twenty

of Horse Powers and Threshing Machines, feel
confident, from past experience and the nu.
merous testimonials they are receiving from
all parts of the country of the superiority of
their machines, that they can give satisfac.
ton to all who may favor them with orders
Our Horse Powers are made strong, and so
geared that II requires the team to travel
only about | I miles per hour to thresh dry
grain, thereby making it suitable to work
either horses or cattle on them.
Our Threshers and Threshers and Winnow-
ers are so constructed as to discharge all the
grain and dust through the machine, and not
into the feeders face as is usual with other
kinds.
The Thresher and Wiunower has revolv.
ing wire separator. which does its work more
perfectly than can he done in any other way.
The Separator (Ri6de) has a fork straw
shaker, which shakes the grain out of the
straw as il passes from the Thresher.
We warrant these machines TO suit the pur.
chaser upon trial, or they can be returned
aud the money refunded.
