of work in any good cause; and in brief

claim being for 10, 900 acres in the city
of San Francisco, and 10000 outside its
limits. Estimated to be worth about
$780, 100000 The opinion Of the Court
in this case was, the claimants showed
no legal title or evidence in support OF
the title that the claimants have no equi-
ty for want of consideration for posses
sion and improvement, and that the evil
dence satisfied the Court that the claim
was fabricated in 1850, and was ante da-

Combining THREE MACHINES IN ONE, simply
adjusted and perfectly adapted to either purpose,
fully anticipating the wants of the farmer. My
AUTOMA TON RAKE,
AS an auxiliary, may be attached or detached,
in a moment, when desired. Being simply and
chcaply constructed, without gearing it is not
liable to get out of repair, and n farmer can
mend or make any part of it without going to
a shop. In lodged or tangled grain no self
raker can be made to do good work, it can then
be taken off, and the raking done by hand as
perfectly as from any other machine.
These important features, in which a Self
Raking Reaper not convertible to hand -raking.
or Hand Raking Reaper withouta self-raking
attachment are deficient, and must inevitably
he surpassed.
NV Reapers being all perfect Mowers and
Self-Rakers too, when desired, are so arranged
as to
AVOID ALL SIDE-DRAFT.
The tongue being flexible every way no weight
of the machine comes on the necks of the team.
BY an Elastic Shoe, lately patented, the ma
chine is allowed to pass freely over the cut
grass, while the cutters are kept close to the
ground.
III Sc, and other important features, place
this machine far in advance of all competition,
and renders it so perfect that it cannot well be
excelled. Where it has become known its mer-
It's are being well appreciated.

ES We see it stated that Judge Nc
GRATn, Of the United States Circuit
Court Of South Carolina, and Judge
JONES, of the United States District
Court Of Alabama, have recently made
similar decisions, which almost effectually
nullify the laws Of Congress against the
African Slave Trade. Judge McGRArH
decides that a citizen of the United
States may go to the coast of Africa or
anywhere else, and purchase negroes al
ready slaves, and bring them as his prop
erty into the United States. But he has
no right to catch Tie negroes himself and
bring them here, and if he does so, then
he violates the law against the Slave
Trade-not otherwise. AS it is of course
well-known that the traders who bring
Slaves across the Atlantic find them al.
ready caught, and purchase them, it will
very readily be seen that through Judge
MoGRATH's ruling, the African Slave
Trade is fully and effectually re-opened

There are stated periods in the history of
cities, as in that of individuals, when op-
portunities present themselves, which, if
seized and rightly used, sweep their possess
ors onward in an irresistible tide of pros
perity; but if they are neglected, and suf-
fered to pass without being appropriated,
never present themselves again. 1t is the
act of wise men and Intelligent communi-
ties to carefully note the indications of pass
ing events, and be prompt to grasp every
instrumentality that offers unmistakable
evidence of adding to his or their success.
We believe one of these golden Opportuni-
ties, by which the growth of our city may
be greatly accelerated, the wealth of each

tablished, is now thrusting itself upon us

had caused to overflow. The seoundrel that
had caused all of this trouble and sorrow
