 This Agency is not only the largest in New Eng. land, but through it inventors have advantages for securing patents, ascertaining the patentabiity of inventions, unsurpassed by if not immeasurably superior to- any that be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials below given, prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT PATENT OFFICE than the sub scriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADvAN- | FACES ABILITY. he would add that he has abun dant reason to believe. and can prove, that at no other office of the kind the charges for profes- sional services 50 moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past has bled him to accumulate vast collection of specif- cations and official decisions relative to patents These besides his tensve library of legal and me- chanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Europe, render him able, beyond question, to offer superior facilities for ob tanng patents

Jan. 1, 1859.

s c IF .A IF F R confidently recommended as tho very best i'm A plement of the kind ever introduced for work around buildings covering undcfdrains, scraping uI me loose manure in and around the barnyard, spreading It very evenly the meadows where il has been dropped, scraping the snowdrifts from sheds, yards &c alsO into out of the path, lay ing up wet land into beds for the purpose of drain ing. and indeed for any and every kind of work where any scraper can be used
 It is light simple in it's construction very dura- ble, easy to handle, working faster and leaving it's work in better shape than any other scraper known
 Let those who have used it tell what they think of it: s H. Tucker, of Rockville, Ct says-I can put piece of road in good shape, without any hoe at all and about as fast again with common scraper- and yet it is worth more on a farm than on road. in smoothing land for stocking. l stocked 6 or acres last fall After it was powed, instead of har rowing as usual, hitched to the scraper diagonal half tbe time it would take to harrow it. and it filled up all the hollows, scraped of all the hllocks and left it in the best shape for sowing that ever saw Any farmer would not be without one if he should use one six months.
 A. D Waters. of Hartford, says-With yoke of oxen and boy to drive. can make and finish tcice as nach road as with the common scraper and do 1t easier for myself and team.
 Vim, s. Pond, of Milford, says-It is worth all the old scrapers that can be made. Similar opinions from those who have used them might be multiplied to almost any extent But all we ask, is to give them a trial.
 Manufactured and for sale by the patentee.
