MAN.SFEE'S AUTOMATIC ROT.IT
u ING HARROW. Patented May 18th, 1858.
The attention Of manufacturers of agricultural
implements, aud the raisers of small grain, is inyit
cd to a recent and most valuable Improvement in
the construction of the Harrow, invented by " NJ.
CHAFEE, of GRANVILLE, Illinois. In this new nipple
ment the teeth are inserted in two self revolving
horizontal wheels, by which the furrow of the
teeth made to the line of the direction of
the harrow, and as the teeth go round the circuit
of the wheel every time the harrow moves forward
the length OF the diameter of tho Wheel each tooth
has just three times the effect of tooth in straight
harrow, consequently it does its work far better,
aud more of it. Once passing over the ground with
this harrow leaves 1t better narrowed than by two
passages with the ordinary harrow. 1t is much
lighter draft upon the team and what must be a
great consideration with every practca! farmer in
passing stubble ground, ii keeps itself
entirely free of stalks by its action II scattsrs
them each side of it.
The Inventor proposes to sell thu right to manu-
Rcture these Harrows, for any given Territory,
either Counties States, at moderate prices. lie
will also sell single Hsrrows and the receipt of
Si5 he will ship good six feet Harrow to any part
of the country, the purchaser paying freight. Ad-

A FIERY CURE FOR LUMBAao.--The fol.
lowing amusing though somewhat pain
full incident actually occurred at farm
house not great many miles from the
village of Copetown. All are subject to
the ills of the flesh, and q worthy and
highly respected man was severely afflicted
with that painful complaint, lumbago; so
much 50, indeed, that he could not stand
erect and could walk with great difficulty.
As in common in such cases, it was
thought desirable to rub the afflicted
part with some spirituOus compound; and
that the application might be the more
effsctusl, the good man was turned with
his back to the fire, while the good wife
gave sweet relief, now applying the spirit
nous oil, now warming her palm over the
cheery blaze, and again chafng the af-
aicted part. While thus engaged, it un-
fortunately happened that, without the
good dame observing it, the spirit upon
her hand took fire, and with magnetic
pass, she at once set the old gentleman s
back in fame The effects produced
were akin to the miraculous. He bounded
up with newborn energy; he yelled and
rushed round the house, uttsring string
of expletivss totally unworthy ofa deacon.
Fortunately, the fuel that supplied the fire
was soon exhausted. Tired and sore, he
was put to bed, and, we are happy to add
cured of his lumbago, and has never had
it since.

if the thing in his heart, then it is sure to

SYMPATHY OF THE NERVES. The New
York Medical Press says: .lr

York Medical Press says:
When the nerves, from long habit, have
become accustomed to transmit their
MESSAGES from distinct parts, and are
suddenly cut off from them, they will
retain along their trunks the sympathetic
or sensational actions. Thus, man who
has a leg amputated will feel distinctly
along the course of the trunk of the nerve
sensation from toes which no longer
exist The mind is also influenced by
this, and frequently this peculiar direct
nervous action can only be allayed by
that which is negative and reflex. A
curious instance occurred within my own
experience. An old sailor suffered much
from this. He retained his diseased foot
too long, but at last consented 10 an

proceeding could do any good, he would

pain would increase; but if gratifed, he
