V ING HARROW. Patented May 9th 1858.
The attention of manufacturers of agricultural
implements and the rasers of small grain is invit
ed To a recent and most valuable Improvement in
the construction of the Harrow invented 10y V. NJ.
CHAFEE, of GRANVILLE, Illinois. In this new mple-
ment the teeth inserted in two self revolving
horizontal Wheels by which the furrOw of the
teeth made to the line of the direction of
the harrow, and the teeth go round the circuit
of the wheel every time the harrow moves forward
the length OF the diameter of the wheel, each tooth
has just three times the effect OF tooth straight
harrow, consequently it does its work far better,
and more of it. Once passing the ground with
this harrow, leaves it better narrowed than by two
passages with the ordinary harrow. 1t is much
lighter draft upon the team, and what must be a
great consideration with every practical farmer, i'll
passing over or stubhle ground, il keeps itself
entirely free of stalks, by its action it scaters
them ON each side of il.
The Inventor proposes TO sell the right to
acture these HairuWs, for any given Territory,
either Counties States, at moderate prices He
will also sell single lIarrows and on the receipt OF
Sl5he will ship good six feet Harrow to any part
of the country, the purchaser paying freight Adj

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1853

SoNG AND CHTT-CHAT.-We learn that Mr..
STEPHEN MAssETF, author of humorous articles
over the signature of. 'Jeems Pipes Of PpeIvil
will give one of his entertainments in Nash
vile this week The following criticism from
the Home JOuszsas of Oct 2. 1858, will give
th,. reader good idea of the character of Mr..
Ms entertainments:
Ma. STEPHEN MAssETT's ENTERTAINNEST--
Mr.. Massett made hit at Niblo's and we are
satisfied that his style of entertainment Will
become popular-combining as 1t does, the
serious and comic in recitation and nImlcry,
pathetic ballads rendered with expression
and feeling: and a sketchy, amusing, though
brief history of his wanderings in ali parts of
the world. His reading of Hoods Song of a
Shirt and the manner of his delivery OF
Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade"
show that he possesses Evolutionary power OF
a high order: while his graphic description OF
his personal adventures in British India,
entities him to some distinction as a keen
observer. We were pleased with his ballad
Singing. Hoods Il remember" and "Scenes
of Home" music by Balfe, were given with
much expression, and obtained the largest
shares of commendation. The comic scene
from the Lady OF Lyons" WAS irresistibly
droIl as was also The scene at the Sacramento
Theatre, of Master .'yohn Stage Struck"
The audience were enthusiastic in their APP
plause, and the announcement that repe-
tition would take place ia the coming week,
was received with great appreciation.
Mr.. MAssgrr has recently given entertain
ments in Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans
and other Southern cities, with eminent
success.

$4,000 for Rait.


AEssRs. EDITORS AS many persons do not
understand Mr.. STEvENsoN's situation with
the Northwestern Railroad, and have to
leave the State, Twill try to make his case
little palmer. After we filed The bill, and at
tached the county bonds and money for the
county, in January, '58, he told the first
President and Directors had got the road in
bad and hopeless. condition. and offered him
$4,000 per year for part of his time to manage
the case for them, and that he and others had
to endorse Mr.. BECKER's notes, to get clear of
him, and did remove about $4,000 of the
county bonds, to protect themselves as en-
dorsers; and ] think Mr.. BECKER and the
county has got him like the trap did the fox
that went to get the bait, and lost his tail and
the same, for misery loves company and wants
relief; and if be can build the road. and have
money left, why does be want to increase the
taxes? and he did admit they could not build
the road without uniting with the GAINESVILLE
road and he cannot make good road on the
81 900 900, for it crosses Harpeth and Turn
bull sixteen times, which overfows the bot
toms from hill to HILL with much fall and
rapid current. think that if he and others
want the trade and travel to come or pass
through Nashville, they should do as many
others have and will do-protest against ma
king and selling State bonds TO build bridges
in our navigable rivers, to be in the way of
the boats; for he has admitted that freight is
four times cheaper by the river than railroads
for the same distance.
And State bonds are bills of credit, and it is
unlawful to make and sell them, and the peo-
pie will put stop to it.
