PUSSELL'S IMPROVED FLExIRt
IL HARROW, Patented, January I7th ~

'We need an improvement in Harrows isars
mark not unfrequently heard among farmers A.
mong the few improvements which have hereta
fore been made in this important and useful q
might say indispensable implement of husbapdr,
it would seem that none of them has fully met ~
wants of the Agriculturist. Some are too heayr
some too complicated and costly and all are la.
Bile to the objection that they are only ADAPTED -
certain kinds of ground for while il is easy to -,
up harrow that will work well on smooth cear
and level ground it is not easy TO find one tba,
will answer good purpose in new ground amono
stnmps or on hilly and undulating surface buI
whom you get one of the latter class, you NAV
rest assured that it will alsesgive satisfaction on
q smooth surface
The undersigned confidently believe that tbi
object is fully attained in this improvement ana
would call the attention of Practical and Sciept;
ic agriculturists TO the following important f.,
lures which characterize it. First its plicity
secondly its strength and durability. and lastlv
its adaptedness to any and all kinds of ,urfacs
The following named practical Farmers OF Clear
field county, who have used ii this season nus
testify to it
We the undersigned farmers of Penn township

cheapness it should speedily come into general use

The Scientific American paper with which
the scientific world is well acquainted speaks thu,
in reference to it. The harrow is one of the most
important agricultural implements, as much de-
pends upon the top pulverizing or dressing If the

success of the future crop" After describing it.

a ADVANTAGEOUS DOUGLAS ORGAN IN ARKANSAS
The editor of the Pine Bluff (Ark) independents
feeling constrained to advocate Douglas fer the Pres
dency, gives vent to the consideration which moves
and instigate him thereto There can be no doubt
now, that Douglas has party in Arkansas, and
that the Independent is his organ. Hold him, good
people of Pine Bluff, while We hear him through the
following:
Like meteor cleaving through the elements Of
space, like CLEAN of the descending guillotine as
it sewers from its trunk the head of some deserted
Grondist the red bolt of dsunion has rent in twain
once happy and united family while its presaging
wrath has startled the most apathetic into the wild
est CONSERVATION and dread. Fearfully has it per-
formed the mission on which an avenging spirit sent
it; deep and CHASTITY is the chasm which now sepa-
rates brotherhood whose time honored principles
were consecrated by the blood of our forefathcrs,
but despite the "slaughtered" victims of this mod
ern Jupiter, we range ourselves on the side of the
Union, and invoke the friends of liberty to re-unite
on that old and time honored platform. To con-
summate this glorious object, we have selected the
name of Stephen A. Douglas for our next Presi-
dent"
