Il IcAN HARVESTER, combined Machine, al
though comparatively new Machine, it is ranked
ahead of any other Machine. 1t has undergone
and has attained perfection, which makes it de-
sirabe for Farmers having uneven as well as level
grounds. -
An important consideration in selecting Har-
yester, is to find one that is a perfect Combined
Machine-that will work equally well as Mower
and Reaper: There are many good Sin
gle Mowers, and many good Single Reapers but
very few good Combined Reapers and Mowers.
There have been many signal failures In this re-
spect
Mr. Kirby, on the contrary, appears to have
been emnently successful in combining the two (;
and has this year brought his invention to state
of perfection that seems to have left no room for
further Improvement
We close our notice of the American Harvester,
with short extract, explaining some of its pecu-
liarities:
"The marked popularity of this machine is its
adaptability to uneven surface. The niger par
and driving wheel act independently of each other,
each following its own ground. The peculiarly nl
the machine enables it to work on very rough
land, and adapts it TO all kinds of work, whether
moving, reaping, gathering grass and clover
seed and every variety of soil, whether sand,
clay or wet marsh : whether soft or hard, rough
or smooth, stony or billy The finger bar can be
set so to work at any hight from two to eighteen
inches, and the change can be made in an instant.
Also, by very simple arrangement, the driver
can with one finger, lift the bar over any obstruc-
ton. The drivers seat is made to act a lever,
by means of which the weight of the driver coun-
terbaances the weight of the frame and throws the
whole upon the driving wheel-thus adding to the
power of the wheel materially tightening the
draft obviating the side draft, and relieving the
horses from the pressure and weight of the pole
and forward part of the frame.

DR.. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.

-
WE beg leave to call the atten-
ton of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr.. Chas. M'Lane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. 1t has also been
administered with the most salts
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS.,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all Bilious DERANGEMENTs, SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when adj
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that DIR. M'Lane's Cele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and COM
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to

The mower is all iron, except the seat and pole,
consequently very strong and durable, while it is
at the same time the ightest machine in use. 1t
is a perfect combined machine, working equally
well whether moving or reaping, and the change
from mower to reaper is made in moment. Sim
plicity, strength, durability and efficiency are at
tanned in the highest degree by the ingenious and

Washington Items,

The Agricultural Bill is at last fairly
through Congress 1t met with sturdy
resistance, and Mr.: Cobb, of Ala, tried to
have it tabled, but was defeated by % ma
jority. Mr. Slidell says the President shall
veto it, but we think it doubtful. The bill
provides that each State is to have 10000
acres for each Senator and Representative it
is entitled to send to the present Cong ress !;
those which shall have an additional Mem
Der under the census of 1860 will be enti-
tied to 10000 acres for each additional
Member Next to the Homestead Bill this
is one of the most important bills for the
advancement of free labor that has ever
passed through Congress.
All the bills for the formation of Terri
tories in Arizona Dacotah, and Jefferson,
have been laid on the table in the House by
decided votes.
Mrs. General Myra Gaines has been
made a pension at $50 per month for life.
A great number of prominent New York

Hsa- A paragraph, originating in a Phil
adelphia paper, stating that persons who
send newspapers and pamphlets to Europe
should be careful not to enclose them in
wrappers, as it subjects them to letter post
age, has been widely copied by the press
1t is very well known, however, to news
paper publishers who are in the habit of
sending papers to Europe, that the above
statement is not correct. All that is re-
quired by the foreign regulations is that
the wrapper shall not cover so much of the
newspaper as is customary with people here.
The wrapper should be small-a5out one
third of the length of the folded paper
thus leaving the ends of the paper from
any covering, so that it can easily be exam
ined by the post office officials.

THE PLATFoRM.s ssss

which closed its session on Friday night,
adopted the following: Ha
Resoloed, 1st That the reckless extrava-
gance of the preceding and present Admin
istrations of the Federal Government by
which the public expenditures have been
increased from fifty to near one hundred
millions of dollars, and the public debt so
greatly enlarged, is wrong that must be
corrected and should be rebuked
I'd. That the recommendations of the
President that Congress shall divest itself of
the war and treaty-making powers, and
confer them upon himself, subjecting, at the
same time, the army aud navy to his con-
troll, coupled with the proposition for enol'-
nous appropriations out of the public treas
ury, are the most astounding that have been
ever submitted to the consideration of the
American people, and call FOR the most un--
equivocal condemnation that the public
voice can pronounce.
In our relations with other States we re-
cognize all those International obligations
which our position rs a member of the great
family of nations imposes on US, and we
would ever conform to the requirements of
those obligations. go
Sd. That we are opposed to the doctrine
of " free trade and direct taxation" MAIN
tanning that revenue sufficient for an eco
nomical administration of the government
ought to be raised by specific duties on for
eign importations; and in adjusting tariff
we hold that it is the duty of Congress to
make such determinations as will afford to
American industry the incidental adyan-
tages to which it is justly entitled.
4th. That the public lands are held by
the General Government in trust Tor the
benefit of all the States; that such DISPOSE
tion should be made of them as will enure
equally to the benefit of ALL by a distribu-
tion of the proceeds of the sale thereof
that Virginia, who gave most, and has re-
ceIved the least should now be allowed to
have her just proportion, and that any party
that opposes this, is opposed to the best in
terests of the State and allows, if it does
not favor, continuation of the heavy taxes
that affiict the people.
9Th That in respect to the Territories, we
adhere 10 the principles of the Compromise
measures of 1880 We repudate the
modern doctrines of "Squatter Sovereignty
and "aien suffrage and hold that to the
inhabitants of the Territories, who are law
full citizens Of the United States, belongs
the right, when they come to form a State
constitution, to fashion their domestic insti-
tutlons according to their own pleasure,
with the privilege of admission into the
Union, upon equal terms with the citizens
OF the other States, whenever they have the
requisite population for one member of the
House of Representatives
