exchanged for any other kind. The man who
bought the fist one made, and the only one III
1855, now thinks it is the best machine ever
made, and the longer he uses it the better he
likes it,
On the NANNY and some other machines,
the raker when Rcaping, stands on the back
and outer corner of the platform, leaning with
his breast against Il support, and with fork
pushes the grain off at the side. Riding thus
on the small wheel which supports the platform
he receives blow on his breast eyely time
the wheel passes over tuft of grass, stone, or
drops into hole or dead furrow. This be can
stand short time, which, added to the severe
strain of forcing the grain off with an unnat-
ural motion, makes his position an uhcomfor-
table one, but not more so for him than for
the team for every time the platform wheel
drops into hole or strikes any obstruction
whatever, the pole is thrown against the left
horses side Instances are numerous where
horses have been actually killed by this con-
stant humping on their sides.
BY a pateut just secured, we place our raker
directly behind the horses on a comfortable
spring seat, his weight directly Oh the driving
wheel, where it is the most easily carried, aud
with rake Of peculiar construction, he can,
BY quarter turn of the arms aud a perfectly
natural movement, lay the grain in good con-
dition for binding, entirely out of tho way Of
the ma hine on its succeeding Swath.
We have given you few Of the leading fea
tnres Of the Kirby Machine and the reasons
why it is superior to others. We might give
many more, but we believe our Harvester will
demonstrate in the field, where it shows to the
best advantage. that it is the most durable
simple and easily managed, the least liable to
get ont of repair, and if broken by accident
the most rea(i mended and altogether the most
ecomical machine for the farmer to buy (; and
although there are some machines that are
good Mowers and some good Reapers, there
are none that are better Mowers or better
ReaperS, and none that are equal as combn-
ed Mower and Reaper to KIRBYs AMERICAN
HARVESTER.

can ask of those not acquainted with the kir-
by Harvester, is not 70 buy any other kind till

Death from Using Phosphorus.

From Bindcn, in the Grand Duchy of
Hesse, we learn of singular accident from
the use of friction matches. Doctor Cause,
of a Budesheim. was recently visiting some
patients in a nc~ighboring village. and on the
road concluded that he would smoke Il cigar.
In lighting IA match some of the ignited ph"s-
phorns flew upon one Of his fingers, burning
it severely. The pain extended, and became
no intense that the Doctor, who had the ne
ccssary instrumentby him. cut out the wound
and let it bleed freely, but without cxpcrienc-
ing any relief. He then returned I" Budes-
helm and had the finger amputated. The
poison had, however. by this time so inocula-
ted his system that the loss of his finger was
of no avail. Meanwhile physicians had ar
rived from Binden, who declared ;hat his
only hope lay in the amputatation OF the en-
tire arm. The unfortunate man underwent
this oreration without Il murmer, but it like
wise proved useless; in a few hours he was Il
corpse.
