Thisis the best crossing on the river from the mouth of the Ohio to New Orleans.

The Great Dickinson COR 1T s H F B '!

X HAVE purchased the patent right for 4 the above great Corn SheIIey for the State of Arkansas, and will at an early day as possible Dc aJ Little Rock prepared to sell machines and the patent right for counties throughout the entire State.
 The right for this celebrated Corn Sheller has been disposed of for every State in the Union, at enormous rates, and 1t needs but to be seen to commend itself to every practi- cal man,
 It comments itself,
 lst By it's chcapnas7.
 2d. Durability, simplicity, Eghtnogs, port ability, and.no chance to get out of order.
 Sd. The manner of doing ifs work-and this is curious enough. In all other ma chimes the corn is removed by 9 grinding, crushing, mashing, tanning process, but in this it is picked of as child would do with its fingers.
 4th. No matter what is the size of tho cob, or shape, every kernel is taken off and done so neatly that not even the chut or husk that holds the corn is Ut all disturbed or rubbed off, hence the corn is clean-de- nositcl in N bag or box, while the cobs un- broken are laid on one side by the machine itself
 5th. All other machines require 70 much power that they are almost unless, while this is run and fed by a bow of F years old, who will shell from so to 90 bushels day.
 9th. But the most wonderful performance of this curious machine, is the fact, that it shells Wet and Green corn, just as easily as Drv corn.
 7th. This the only machine that will select and shell corn for seed, without injury to the grain.

Who STONED S4EpHEN?-Tho Buf- falO Democrat narrato8 this good story of one of the miniature men, vulgar ly called children:
 4 teacher in 8 Sunday school in R-, was examining class of little boys from 8 Scripture catechism. The first question was:
 "Who stoned Stephen?"
 AnsWer-s:'The Jewe.''
 Second question-s'Where dii they stone him?'
 Answer-"Beyond the limits of the city.''
 The third question-"Why did they take him beyond the limits of the city?'' was not in the book, and proved a poser to the whole class; it passed from head to foot without an answer being at- tempted. Atlength little fellow who had been scratching his head all the while, looked up and said:
 "Well, l don't know, unless 1t was to get a fat2 fang Qf him!"
 ~-o-~~~c-o.o-o-~~~O4O~
 PooR LIvING.-A good Methodist minister at the West, who lived on a very small salary, was greatly troub- led at one time to get his quarterly in stalment. He had called on his stew ard number of times but had each time been put off with some excuse.- His wants at length becoming urgent, he went to his steward and told him that he must have his money, as his family were suffering for the necessaries of life. ''Money?" replied the steward you preach for money. l thought you preached for the good of souIs?'' "Souls." replied the minister; T can't eat souls, anrl if l could, 1t would take a thousand such as yours to make Q meal.:'
 THE SKY-ROCKET BRAND.-A man travelling, entered 9 tavern, and see ing no one present but the landlord and negro, seated himself and enter ed into conversation with the negro. Shortly, he asked Sambo if he was dry? Sambo said he was: Stranger told him to go to the bar and get something at his expense. Negro did go, and shortly after left. Landlord says to the stranger:
 "Are you acquainted with that nig ger?''
 "No never saw him before; but why do you ask?''
 II supposed so from your convers- ing with him and asking him to drink, 2
 "0h," said the stranger, ''I was only experimenting. The fact is, was dry myself and thought if your liquor didn't kill the negro in fifteen minutes, l would venture to take a drink myseIf.''
 Landlords curiosity fully satisfied.
