CHEWING TOBACCO,
Important Improvement
In putting up

Important Improvement
In putting up
FINE CUT CHEWING TOBACCO,
has been adopted by Messrs. f. GOODWIN
BRO, of New YORK Cry.
TOBACCO, of the BEST QUALITY, is se-
lected, neatly wrapped in TIN FOIL, and Pa
TENT PRESSED
The great advantages Of this over other
brands consist in the size of the packages,
rendering it more convenient to carry in the
pocket, and being PRESSED SOLID it keeps
MOIST and FRESH, and improves in quality
as it is used while in other brands, as soon
the package is opened the quality rapidly DE-
TERIORATES-the tobacco growing dry
and littering the pocket to the great annoy
ance of the consumer. The Dressing which
which the Fine Cut Tobacco undergoes in the
process of manufacture, frees it from all grit
or impurities SO objectionable in the use of
Plug Tobacco. Chewers will do well to give
the Patent Pressed trial, and Judge for them
selves.
For sale by II. WESTCOTT & Co., who re-
ceive it direct from the Manufacturers.

bright clear sky and a bitter cold at
mosphere for gardeners and farmers tc
dream on" And Sabbath morning
Oh, fearful morn and long to be remem
bered for thescene of devastation then an.
parent. A combined frost and bitter win.
ter-llke freeze had cut down crops of all
kinds, even to the best protected hot.beds
In our village. As far as we have been able
togather information up to this time, Tues.
day., we learn that the entire crops and
fruits of this and the adjoining counties
are cut OFT, and the hardest trees and
shrubbery considerably injured.
This is severe drawback upon our
farmers, and will be likely to cause pinch
ing times next fall and winter. We trust
however, that so far as is practicable our
farmers will replant their corn and other
summer crops. BE not disheartened by
the disaster, but 90 to work determinedly
that you may retrle' 'e at least part of the
loss.
WEDNESDAY.-Since the above was
written, we learn from the telegrams to
the New York papers of Monday, that the
frost extended through the State of New
York, and northern Ohio-doing great
damage to fruits and growing crops gen
orally.
a heavy thunder storm occurred here
Tuesday night, and steady ram is still
falling this morning, which is calculated
to give new courage to farmers, by reviv-
ing their grass and grain crops, and re-
suscitating the corn that was not killed
at the root, of which we learn there was
considerable. All vegetables so fortunate
as not to &C above ground before the freeze
will now come forward rapidly.

The AmerEacn Trades Compa-

nv. was organized November s. 1851, with
II Capital of one hundred thousand dollars.
This Company was formed with n view of TAX
ing up inventors of small articles of general
utility, Who are unable ia make independent
arrange nents for introducing their inventions,
by an equitable Arrangement with them for
their rights by purchase out and out or by Il
tariff on the articles manufactured and sold.
The inventive genius of this country has long
called for an Institution of this kind. The
American mind is so active, that thousands of
things are invented many of which would be
really useful to the community. but which are
never introduced because the Inventors of
them have no means to carry them out.
The capital of this Company will be devoted
to the development of really useful inventions.
The Company have Committee on Patents,
whose duty it is to pass upon all applications,
and from their large experience in such mat
terS InN entors have q security that their in
ycntions will not be misjudged; and the high
character of the parties composing that Com
mttce is a sufficient guaranty that plans and
specifications may he submitted before patents
are applied for, without any risk of advan-
tage being taken of this circumstance and
when desired to do so, the Company will take
out patents for others, securing for the inven-
lOI All Ol Ills lHNcHJiOl tiltI l. pdtcDldUle.
This Company respectfully invite inventors
to submit to them their plans and it will be
furthering the objects of the Company if its
officers and agents can be of any service to
them.
Any one of the following modes is acceptaI
BILE to this Company:
First: To manufacture any articles for
which their machinery is adapted by contract,
the inventors receiving the articles and paying
for the same on delivery.
Second: They buy amy patent which is ap-
proved Of by their committee.
Third: They will manufacture and sell any
article which they choose to adopt, giving to
the Inventor such a proportion of the profits
as may be agreed upon.
The extensive building, No. % and "a

What they manufacture.
THE AMERICAN SMOKER,


Consisting of great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns of Cigar Tubes; also, sew
cral varieties of Pipe Tubes. The popularity
about these articles is that each one is arrang-
ed so as to receive damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has to
pass on its way to the mouth This damp
sponge not only coos the smoke, but extracts
tv of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive. Smokers will find the use of
these Tubes II luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water-iar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
of the breath
THE AMERICAN CARPET HOOK.
Is little contriyancc for putting down carpets
without tackS. This is new article. which
has never before been upon the market. But
it possesses the merit of enabling a person to
put down or take up a carpet of the largest
size in general use in fifteen minutes, without
any injury to the floor or carpet 1t is very
cheap-cheaFer in the long run than tacks-
ard the great faculty with which even Serv-
ant can take up and put down carpets, with
out the possibility of a mistake, renders it in
valuable to the houSekeeper
