Capital of one hundred thousand dollars
This Company was formed with view of TAX
ing up inventors of small articles of general
utility, Who are unable to make Independent
| arrange nents for Introducing their inventions,
by an equitable arrangement with them for
their rights by purchase out and out, or by a
tariff on the articles manufactured and sold
The inventive genius of this country has long
called for an Institution of this kind. The
American mind is so active, that thousands OF
things are invented, many of which would be
really useful to the community but which are
never introduced, because the Inventors OF
them have no means to carry them out.
! The capital of this Company will be devoted
to the development of really useful inventions
The Company have Committee on Patents,
whose duty it is to pass upon all applications
and from their large experience in such mat
ters Inv entors have security th&. their in
ventions will not be miSjudgci: and the high
character of the parties composing that Com
mlttee is Sutlicie:lG guaranty that plans and
specifications may be submitted before patents
are applied for, without any risk of advan-
tage oeing taken of this circumstance, and
wnen desired to do so the Company will take
out patents for others, securing for the inven-
tor all of his invention that is patentable.
This Company respectfully invite inventors
to submit to them their plans and it will be
furthering the objects of the Company if its
officers and agents can be of any service to
them.
ANY one of the following modes Ia accepta
BILE to this Company:
First: To manufacture any articles for
which their machinery is adapted by contract,
the inventors receiving the articles and paying
for the same on delivery.
Second: They buy any patent which is ap-
proved of by their committee.
Third: They will manufacture and sell any
article which they choose to adopt, giving to
the Inventor such II proportion of tho profits
as may be agreed upon.
The extensive building, No. % and "a
Frankfort-st., New York, being about SO feet
front by over 100 feet deep, and stories high
above the sidewalk, is owned by the President
of the Company, and is occupied in part by
all the machinery, wareroom and Offices of the
Company, where all its business and sales arc
transacted.

UNPARALLELED MEANNEss. Buffalo Co,r-
Ter says An Individual in this city held an
execution against another, which was placed
in the hands of the Sheriff for the purpose of
collecting the claim, but that officer finding
no property it was returned unsatisfed. A
short time since, the creditor discovered a
small monument at one of the marble yards
in the city which had been ordered by the
debtor to be placed over the grave of a
little child he had recently buried. Forth
with this worthy exemplar of Shylook waited
upon the Sheriff and instructed him to levy
upon the stone. That officer very properly
demonstrated against an act so barbarous
and unGhristian, but without avail. He was
threatened with prosecution unless he per-
formed this unpleasant duty, and the stone was
accordingly seized and In due time sold There
was no one mean enough to bid upon it but
the creditor, and it was knocked down to him.

we looked upon the stone and listened to this

thing against his fellow, deserved nc repose
in this world or the next.

IMPORTANT TO NORTHERN FARMERS.
"A statement is made by the Springfield
journal, which if true, possesses an i'm
portaRce to farmers of the North general
iy that is almost incalculable. 1t says
that Mr.. Goodman, ap old farmer of that
county, has corn planted siz weeks since,
which is now in tassel. 1t was of the
eonmon variety, soaked in chloride of
lime eight hours. The corn planted at
the same time not subjected to this pro-
cess is hardly 2 feat high, A pound of
chloride of lime is sufficient TO plant for
ty acres of corn.--Eg.

When was boy and first went into the
field TO hoe corn, | was quite puzzled to
know what my father meant, when he di-
rected us to be sure and shoe where the
corn wasn't" But after following him
for a few days, and noticing the pains he
took to have all the ground between the
hills well stirred as well as the weeds cut
PIP, and particularly when I saw how care
full he was not to disturb the ground
deeply very pear the young plants, l un-
derstood his meaning. In long ac-
quaintance with corn I have observed
enough to make me think lie was right
The weeds must be cut up root and branch
to have good corn, that's certain, and the
ground must be kept loose enough to let
the heat get in, and the moisture pass up
from below /; and to allow the spreading
roots to make their way easily through
the soil in search for good picking. But
I've seen good many slash away with
the hoe close around the stock, when ey
cry cut there if two inches below the sur
face, must have broken number of tn,
growing roots. 1t certainly cannot be O
much use to feed corn well, If you ther
go to work and gut off its mouths, for tn
roots are mouths to the plant. So I al
ways cultivate lightly where the root
nave extended, which is about the lengtl
that the stalk has reached above tn
ground, and when the Q rn is up breas
high, | wouldn't let q man go through
the field with a ploy, if he'd pay wage
for doing it and fnd himself. : I do no
believe in hilling corn making the fele

THE FIRST TEMPERANCE SOCIETY -
1t has been question of interest among
writer's on temperance as to when, where,
and by whom the first Temperance Soci-
ETY. was organized. 1t was at leRgth pref
ty generally agreed that it was it Moreau,
in the state of New York, in 1903, by
DR.. Billy j. Clark and the Rev. Mr.. Arm
strong, 1t is accordingly so stated in
Appleton's New Cyolopedia, in an article
on Total Abstinence, written by Mr..
Greeley. 1t seems, however, that soci-
ETY. was established three years earlier
(lSO5) at Allentown, New Jersey. Rev.
K, Page, of Tronton, has lately forwarded
the "Constitution Book" of that society,
Git was called the "Sober Society," with
the original fifty eight signatures, to Prof
Amasa Mccoy, of Albany, Corresponding
Secretary of the Worlds Temperance
Committee, who has long been collecting
materials for history of the Temperance
Reform. --Ne~ark Daily AdoeHiser

What they manufacture.
THE AMERICAN SMOKER,

Consisting of a great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns of Cigar Tubes; also, sew
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes. The peculiarly
about these rticles is that each one is arrang-
ed so as to receive damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has to
pass on its way to the mouth. This damp
sponge not only cools the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper
ty of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive. Smokers will find the use OF
these Tubes a luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water-jar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
Of the breath.
THE AMERICAN CARPET HOOK.
Is little contrivance for putting down carpets
without tacks. This is new article, which
has never before been upon the market. But
it possesses the merit of enabling a person to
put down or take up a carpet of the largest
size in general use in fifteen minutes, without
any injury to the floor or carpet. 1t is very
cheap-ehearer in the long run than tacks-
ard the great faculty with which even a serv-
ant can take up and put down carpets, with
out the possibility of mistake, renders it in
valuable to the housekeePeP.

The IMPORTANCE OF WELL CURING
HAY.-The difference between late cut
or badly cured early hay, and poor starch
and glutenless straw is, | have found by
experiment in feeding, very little. Yet
the great bulk Of hay fsd in cities and
villages, as we'll by shiftless farmers, par
takes of those defects, because good farm
ers feed but rarely sell good hay, and poor
ones rarely cure it we'll or cut it in the
right time. apprehend that one great
cause of the unhealthiness of the distil-
lery-fed COWS is due as much to the poor
as to the short ration of hay they receive.
Some suppose that hay to a slop-fed cow
isonly necessary to keep up her oud and
distend the stomach, as the slop contains
aIl the phosphate and heterogeneous nu-
;riment required. This is a great mis-
take, for the slop having given up its
starch and sugar to alcohol, the hay should
DO especially rich in this, as an equiYa-
lent for the lack of it in the slop.
Hay should always be cut with all its
juices intact and before its seed is ripe.
To do this efeqtually, sweating in cock is
better than too much exposure to the sun
aud if the weather is showery, cloth caps
for the cocks will sometimes pay for them
selves ths 6rst season in the quality oi
the hay alone.
But | am aware that many will reply
TO my logic as Buffalo farmer did last
August, when told him that his timo-
thy seed had oqtgroWn its usefulness
aud lost all its juices with part of its
seed to boot. al know it" said he "but
it requires no curing, and it will sell just
as well in Buffalo. Gen. Farmer.

EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON THE MOUTH
Both smoking and chewing produce
marked alterations in the most expressive
features of the face. The lips are closed
by circular muscle, which completely
surrounds them, and form their pulpy
tulness. Now, every muscle of the body
is developed in precise ratio with its use
as most young men kuow-they endeavol
to develope and increase their muscle in
the gymnasium. In splitting and holding
the cigar IN the mouth, this muscle is in
constant use; hence the coarse appearance
and irregular developement of the lips
when compared to the rest of the fea,
lures, in ohewers and smokers, The eye
loses its natural fire, and becomes dull
and lurid it is unspeculative and unap,
Rreeiatiye; it answers not before the

often repels conversation by his stupidity.
