A New Corn Huslscr.

our friend and fellow townsman, ID. M. Mel
ford ESQ, has been engaged, for more. than
year past in perfecting machine, OF his own
invention, for husking corn. Within Ia few
years past, several huskers have been invented
but they have generally met with very indiifer-
ent success, and consequently have not been
adopted by corn growers.
Mefrords Corn Husker promises to be entirely
successful. 1t is very simple. light, and dura'
Bile, and can be afforded for $40. II removes the
husks and silk better than is usually done oy

by which it is carried under a knife which sewers

Every succeeding day, and each Transporting
event, renders more certain the rejection of Gov.
Walker by the U. s. Senate. Meetings have
b.en held in many of the Southern States and
resolutions adopted, strongly denouncing the

o~T The Republican party, as every intelli-

has the power to prohibit the extension of sla,

law. Northern democrats generally claim that
they believe the sam: thing, but Douglass, in
his speech at the dedication Of the Democratic
hall in Chicago on the evening of the llth inst,
let the cat out of the bag completely, for the

Auditor estimated the tax, according to the as

returned home.
This week he again called upon Mr.. Sphinx to
pay his taxes and again found nothing charged
to him. He again declared it wrong, and said
he had been looking over his effects and found
that he had just about much as he had year
ogo-that it would scarcely vary dollar from
that amount. The Auditor again computed his
tax upon th0t amount which he paid and re-

~ There will evidently BE- much suffering
Rmong the laboring classes in the eastern

rule, AMI many honest and prudent men will
suffer for want of work and its returns ere win
ter closes. There is something wrong--grievous-
ly wrong-in this, but the remedy is not so ca.
silly suggested. Honest laborng men should in
the first place receive more for their labor than
mere subsistence, and this surplus they should
carefully save for hard times. Indeed we some
times think that prudent AMI intelligent labor
ing men do not so Often suffer as people gene.

thrown out OF enp'oym4nt are parsons who
have worse than foolishly expended their earn
