BoYERs PREMIUM FARM GR1sT MILL.

HNHIS MILL is constructed on entirely new
i principles and so arranged with Seli-sharpen-
ing qualities that it completely removes the OBJ
lection that iron mills will soon wear out; hence,
it does not require any sharpening, and can be
run for years without any repairs, thus saving
much time and expense, and always ready to work
Considering the cost, we can truly say that this
is the most efficient, simple, and durable Farm
Nh now in use. Hundreds of farmers testify 10
its superior merits. Ii is adapted for one or two
horse railway, for two or four horse lever pow
ers, and will grind Corn, Rye, oats, or Wheat
from sir to tcelte bushels psr hour, according to
fneness required; and is also arranged with steel
Cutters, to grind Corn in the ear. 1t occupies a
space about three feet square, weighs about 275
pounds With recent improvements it has been
strengthened in all its parts, and the steel cob
cutters so improved that it will grind Corn in the
ear rapidly The machines are warranted to give
satisfaction.
Farmers wishing to try one viii have their or
ders promptly attended to. Price of mill with
seiye arranged for sitting meal for family use
while grinding, $50, with boiling machine attach
ed for making family flour, SIS, freight from fac
tory added. The Mills can be seen At our ware

TIME COPPER TOE!-A New ERA IN Do
L MEsTIC ECoNoMy 1T is we'll known that
Children and youth usually wear out their boots
and shoes al the toe, in few weeks-sometimeS
in a few days. Buy them with MITCHELL PATENT
METALLIC TIrs, and you will save tco-thjrds Of
the expense Of supplying your children with shoes
This invention enables US to offer TO the public
boots and shoes that NEVER WEAR OUT AT THE
TOES. We have hundreds of testimonials from
parents who have bought them, showing, that on
the average, one pair of shoes with tips, will for
children, wear as long Us three pair without and
for Misses, Boys and Youths they will wear at
least twice as long, while the cost is but triHe
more.
This statement is made with entire confidence IN
its strict truth as il is based careful eXamna-
ton of the Facts, in an experience of more than
two years, which has proved that these Copper
tced Shoes, have on an average, worn at least
three times as long as the old style, aud the cost
is but triie more, the importance of the inven-
tion to all having little feet to protect, viii at once
be seen.
This invention is also important as protection
against the cutting OF the Prairie Grasses, also for
Miners and Plantation use, and all occupations
where the toes ofthe Boots or Shoes are particu-
larly liable to be cut or worn.

FArA MoRcASA IN BCFFALo.--On W ednes-
day the attention of the residents ut Buttal"
was attracted toward the lake. The after
noon was hazy, and through the vapory me
dunn very beautiful mirage was Seen.--
One of the local papers says
THE Canadian and Chatauqua shores,
on either side OF the bay hathcd in the soft
dilnncSs Of the air, were lifted up and blend
ed with the sky, so Us to look like the coast
of some Elr-oi' fairy land. At intervals,
against the hills, there was 1t simmer "l
vertical rays, which gave the appearance OF
a bold columnar front to the land, like the
Giants CauSeway of Ireland. Out upon the
sca-linc. some drzcu sail of vessels were set
TING IN toward the hurbor. Some Of these,
which were within or 6 miles, assumed n.
~antc proportions, and could scarcely be DIS
tinguished from huge sbapeless masses OF
