New GOLD WAsHER.-At Hills l.
Washburn's hard ware store we notice new
gold washer, which we think just the thing.
1t is very simple and at the same time very
effective. The machine consists Of An upright
frame, attached to which is hopper, some
thing after the fashion Of a tanning mill
seive. Upon this seive is placed the dirt
on which water 10 thrown and it being put in
motion, it soon washes through and passes
into cylinder, inside Of which is placed
knives which completely dissolves the dirt
and clay. From this cylinder the dissolved
dirt passes to an incline plain, across: which
runs stripe Of wood. 90 that the gold in pass
ing down, sinks to the. s..bottom and is retain.
ed. while the dirt and water passes off. A
pound Of pewter spelter placed in bushel
Of dirt was washed through and the loss of
spslter could not be perceived in the weight
We think that every miner would do we'll
to furnish himself with one Of these ma
chimes.
NnoUrc
cRAroR.-We examined a new Sorghum
Boiler or Evaporator, the invention Of Mr..
Cooksof Pennsylvania. the right Of which,
for this and several adjoining counties. has
been purchased by Joshua Dial. Eco, for
whom they will be manufactured by Messrs
Hills 4 Wsshburn: The tEvsporator con-
sists Of . fiat bed made Of sheet iron or
copper. across which runs strips Of tin to
within about two inches OF the sides, the
strips being alternated in their attachment
to the box. This gives to the sap zig gag
course 80 that it has to cross the bed some
twenty times in going from the top to the
bottom. Under the entire bed is placed
furnace in which is placed slow fire. The
liquor is poured in st one end and by the
time It reaches the other it has become a
very thick syrup. The Evaporator 10 placed
upon rockers. 60 that the running Of the
syrup can be accelerated or retarded at
pleasure. We think the invention an ex
cellent one. and doubt not it will meet with
q ready sale 90 soon as the farmers COM
mence cuItivating this profitable crop. The
price is $4,000
DUDLEY NJ. McINTosH, EsQ.-We
regret to announce the decease of Dudley
NJ. Mcintosh, Esq. of Cedar Rapids, who
died at the Burtis House in this city, last
Thursday evening.
Mr.. Mcintosh came to Davenport to at.
tend the Supreme Court now in session, but
ON his arrival here was taken violently III
with congestion si the lungs. 1t was
hoped that few days would restore him to
health. but the disease was too much for
his mutually delicate constitution. Every
aid that medical skill could afford was rem
dered. aud from DR.. Burtis and lady be re-
ceived the most unremitting attention. His
family. who had been sent for. arrived in
time to smooth h:s-dising pillow.
Mr.. Mcintosh, if our memory serves US,
was a native Of Georgia. though for mum
ber Of years he has resided in Iowa. Al
one time, he was deputy clerk Of one branch
Of the Legislature. He located at Cedar
Rapids some years ago, and soon obtained
very respectable practice. Though not
man Of brilliant talents. Mr.. Mcintosh held
good position at the bar. and enjoyed the
confidence as we'll Of his professional breth-
rem - Of the community in which be lived.
He leaves behind him . large circle Of
friends who will deeply regret his untimsly
death.
GOLD INFATUAnoN.-In tie palm
lest days Of Iowa, We do not rseollsct Of
having seen . greater influx Of immigrants
BY wagon than at the present time. But
though the tide IL constant. and day by day
growing more powerful. it 10 Of no advan.
tags to Iowa - State. Pixies Peak 10 the
great absorbant. It 10 attracting more pill
grims than did the Holy Sepulchure. in cen.
turies past and gone. 1t is the Mecca to
which oil eyes are turned; to which thous-
ands Of weary feet are journeying. Every
day do We notice . perceptible increase Of
