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

DUNG america EXCELSIOR.
HHE 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 gem
erally-and Meal from Shclled 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 un-
willing toprocure suitable Mills, because ofther
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 i Little Giant"
Changers Magic Mill" etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obviated, as it is Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates, 1.-THE only parts
that wear QUIT being two detached rings, cast

uround as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rearend
/ Of the swee 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been introduced it has superseded all others Of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 20bushels per
hour, according TO fneness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.

How TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER. "A cor.
sesp:. l,.-t of the New England Farmer
iu,niSncS spa. pr 18th the followins
rules for making good butter:
/. Milk should never be set for butte,
in dark, damp cellar--as is the case
with butter makers in this section-a.
the cream is thereby moulded before il
has had time TO rise, which gives the
butter mouldy taste. .
2. The milk is allowed to set too long
before being skimmed, which gives it d
cheesy taste.
3. The cream is kept too long before
it is churncd, after IL is skinned, which
gives 1t the taste Of the other two, and
also sour taste.
a. The butter should never be washed
in water, because IL takos away that
beautiful aroma 50 essential TO good but
ter.
5. 1t should never DosaIeuf in a per-
Il .s's warm hands, as the ho.t melts a
cer'''- portion Of the giobulcs, which
giVos u a.. ely taste, and makes itse-

A SENSIBLE GIRL.--Some years since
a young lady, remarkable for her matu-
rity and good sense, daughter of dis
tinguished lawyer and member of Con-
gress from Worcester county, was placed
at a young ladies' boarding school in the
neighborhood of Boston. Her unafect-
cd manner and sprightliness won the af-
feetions of many Of the young ladies,
who were full of their kind offices, until
one day they inquired the occupations Of
their fathers. Our young friend per-
ceiving the drift Of their inquiries, gave
them to understand that her father was
shoemaker; when many of them were
struck with horror at her vulgar origin,
and change took place in the conduct
towards her. She, however, though
fully understanding them. remained

falo Advertiser of Friday, states that DR..
Beigler. convicted of the seduction and mur.

court for sentence. Daring these proceed.
ings the family Of DR.. Beisler came into
court, consisting of his wife, grown up son
and daughter, little girl aud bright boy,
who laughed with pleasure as he met his
father. The laugh broke down the strong
man, and hardened as he seemed heretofore,
cold and heartless as he was under the eve
OF the mother Of his victim. the tears burst
from his eyes at the magic of that bright,
cheerful smile. His wife sat down and held
his hand, weeping quietly as the proceedings
went on. The prisoner, however, soon re-.
covered himself and was again the unmoved,
icy being that he seemed throughout. The
prisoner is man of wealth aud education,
and enjoyed large practice. He was sen.
fenced to the penitentary for seven years.

The Eastern papers have, for some time
been predicting the financial crash which

due in the East from Western merchants

10 what extent this may be: the case. or
whether it is but surplus capital which has
sought investment in Western lands we are
unable to say. It is more than" bossible

A lawyer Of high reputation iu the citK on
Philadelphia, was travelling in oae ofthe
Southern States; and, belated one evening,
after long days ride, he WAS compelled 10
torn into house on u SOLITARY plantation,
and ask for shelter and hospitality for the

course of the evening he thought he obser.
we'd something reserved in the master of the
house, which awakened his suspicious. He
was at length conducted to his chamber,
WHICH adioined the family room. There be
dwelt on the circumstances which alarmed
him, till his excited Imagination was filled
with thoughts Of nightly robbery and assass.
ination. He proceeded to barricade the
room as best he could. He fastened down
the windows, against the door he piled up ta-
BILE, chairs, and everything that was nova.
BILE in the room. While thus engaged, words
uttered in low voice caught his ear and in.
creased his alarm. He placed his ear at
the key hole. The man of the house was
engaged in family prayer. Among the oh.

"the stranger whom the providence of God
had unexpectedly brought to lodge beneath
their roof that night" When he got through

A MAN Tarrcd, Feathered, and
Ridden on a Rail by Ladies'.

That "some things can be done as we'll as
Others" and by ladies, too, may be seen BY
Iglancing at the Ril3@lhg from the Detroit
frfbsns:
We learn From he Marshall papers, that
on Tuesday night last that village was the
scene of administration of summary Justice,
without the Intervention of the Courts, such
as has seldom been known in Michigan
A fellow named gohn Robbins, q man who
keft house OF ill-fame in the village, was
taken, tried ana sentenced to d coat of tar
and feathers, and 10 be ridden on a rail-
The sentence was TO be executed by the wo
meR Of the neighborhood, who had been long
annoyed by the disgraceful nuisance. The
ladies had some time ago sent committee
to Robbins, with the REQUEST That he must
leave the village, or discontinue keeping
such house. Their request not being
complied wi b, they proceeded to execute
the sentence they had adjudged in his case.
Two of them went to his house and knock ed
at the door, and when he appeared thew
threw bucket of tar over his head, com.
pletely binding him; and then proceed eded to
strip him and cover his body with tar and
an outer coat of feathers!

the rights ofits citizens could be carried home

in which the mob was dispersed, even by
the force of musket balls, does honor to the

About Governors.

We have been led, by fa4se REPORT, tc
think that Judge Ranney would not consen
to come before the State Convention, as ,
nominee for Governor. In this we are mis-.
taken.
Judge Ranney has not sought nor will nor
seek the Nomination, but, If nominated, he
:oW ruin and RUN WELL; and If elected, as
he will be if nominated, he will serve and
be an Honor to the State, as he always has
been in whatever capacity his party has eth
ployed him.
He has helped to bear the Democratic bah.
ner through political fights when he knew,
and every man knew, that defeat was as Ger.
tain as sunrise, but never has he sought to
put himself before another in the way of of.
free, and he will not now endeavor to do so,
II Convention, fairly rejecting the will of
the Democratic voters OF Ohio shall deem it
advisable to make-tudge Ranney the s,and-
ard 5earer, in the next campaign, be will uc-
cept the honofed post affd work for the re.
suit, but he is too much Of feal man to
make any attempt at nominetinyaimaD.
We make these remarks for the purpose
of correcting, as far as we may be able to,
the false impression that has gone abroad in
regard to Judge Ranney's refusal to be a
candidate. We wish his name still to stand
among the other highly honorable names
that are before the people, and that will be
before the Convention.-Z GAINESVILLE Aurora.
