GETTING OUT GRAIN.
AGENCY FOR WHEELER, MELlCK& CO.'S
IMPROVED COMBINED
TMRESRER AND MIElNO MER,

HNHE most convenient, portable, easily work
Il ed. and perfectly operating machine for
threshing, separating and winnowing wheat,
rye and oats. now in use. Though compare
lively but little known here there are about
400 of them in use in other grain growing
districts, all giving entire satisfaction.
1t is the machine (but much improved) that
obtained the First Premium at the Montgom-
cry County Fair at the exhibition in 1855, and
ELECTED universal appreciation; and wherever
exhibited at a working test in competition with
Others has always taken the Premium.
The two-hOrse machine cleans in the best
manner ready for market with 5 or hands,
from so to 200 bushels of wheat per day, and
the one-horse from 70 to 100 bushels; occupies
but little space; is easily moved from stack to
stack and readily put up
For Farmers who raise from 500 TO 1000
bushels Of wheat and who prefer to do their
work with their own force, no other machine
is so desirable.
This machine is aedrraated to give entire sat-
isfaction, or may he returned at the expiration
of a reasonable time on trial.

LEISURE DAYS.

nN Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10 a.
m. to D. M. we are most at leisure, and
devote these hours to selling remnants, giving
samples, and showing our stock to persons who
prefer to buy leisurely, and TO all others who
like to look through the stock without any in
tention of making purchase.
We respectfully suggest these days and
hours as the most opportune periods for the
objects indicated
We also name in this connexion that Mourn
ng Goods only and no other articles will be
sent out Of the store for the inspection of in
valids; in all other cases customers will de-
eide in the store what they want.

whether they do or not, our statesmen are all
instructed to decline letting goods go out for

LIGHrNINe.-During thunder storms,
persons in houses should sitor lie in some
place as far distant as possible from the
chimney, and the most exposed part of
the walls--the middle Of the room, if it
is large, is the safest locality. Sailors
on the sea should keep as far from the
masts as possible, and farmers in the
fields should never seek shelter under
trees. Horizontal strokes of lightning
sometimes take place, and several persons
have been struck while sitting an open
window during thunder storms. Every
window of room in which persons are
sitting, in such eases, should be closed.
A flash of the fluid, which would pass
through an open window into an apart
ment, will be conducted down through
the floor and wall to the earth if the
window is shut.

TIE ATTITUDE OF Prussia. appears
that the attitude Of Prussia is somewhat
different from what it was supposed to be
at the previous advices. She proposes
now, not to assume the responsibility of
undertaking a hostile observation of
France, but to give the sanction of the
entire German confederation to the move
ment, thus placing herself at the head of
seventy millions of people, on the con-
tingoncy of her taking part with Aus
tria. According to the N. Y. Post,
1t is not a Prussian army that she
proposes to place on the Rhine, but two
federal corps under the superior orders Of
Bavaria. BY this Prussia saves herself
from individual responsibility, and must
gain by necessity, in recompenso, an un-
contested supremacy in the Germanic
confederation.

TIE BAYoNET EXERCISE IN THE u. S.
ARMY. --An order has been issued by
General Scott, in which he alludes to the
report of the Inspector General as evil
dence that the subject of bayonet exer-
else and target practice for small arms
has been almost entirely'neglected by the
troops, especially the bayonet exercise, and
he directs that hereafter the troops be
regularly and systematically instructed
in the full use of the several weapons
placed in their hands.
Inspector Generals are also directed to
report particularly on the merits and de-
fects of the several articles of new in
vention or contrivance now in use, or
which may hereafter be introduced in
any departments, such as arms, equip
ments, &c, and, in their respective re-
ports, besides giving their own opinion,
they will also set forth, as far as possible,
what they may understand to be the
judgment of the service, discriminating
between the principle and the mere con-
struction of the article, in order that the
merits of the former may not be unjustly
sacrificed because of the defects which can
DO remedied in the latter. --PhI. Ledger.

DEFERRED ARTICLES.


GBH. CAss' DISPATCH TO AMERICAN
FoRrIGx MINISTER'S. Our Rights as
Meutyols. 1t is stated that the letter of
Gen. Cass to our ministers abroad was
sent to Europe by Wednesdays steamer.
The letter has not been made public, but
a Washington lettor-writer says
The present manifesto lays down broad
principles which will govern us in the
maintenance of our rights as neutrals,
and there is every reason to believe that
the positions now assumed will be adopted
by all the great nations Of Europe. The
principal points are Of course With ref
eronco to a limitation of articles which
shall be deemed contraband Of war
The United States hold that nothing
should be embraced in this list but the
direct and immediate munitions Of war
fare, such as powder, muskcts, cannon,
lead and saltpetre, cct.-Coal, which is
the very foundation of manufacturing
and commercial transactions, is declared
by the United States not to be contra
band of war, and any attempt to construe
it otherwise will be viewed as an cncroach-
ment upon our commerce. So, also, are
breadstuffs not contraband of war The
broad doctrine is also reiterated that a
free flag covers the cargo, and it is de-
clared that we will never yield on the
privateering question.
The PRONUNCIATION of this dispatch will
doubtless be followed by large orders for
coal in this country, and generally will
have the effect Of promoting the interests
of American shipping.
Austria maintains that coal is contra
band Of war, while France and Russia
hold to a contrary doctrine.
