NEW INVENTION!!

+ have invented and patented q mode Of
l. using the human weight for a POWER
and by such direct and scientific application
that man of ave: az, size equals about
half horsepower. The machine is in daily
operation Mt my house in
Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas,
Where 1t can be seen till about the 18th
OF May next, and not afterwards,
Running one of Erckson's Mills, with bolt
attached, on which l make my flour and
meal, with only the pleasant exercise Of u
few minutes each day. The invention is
applicable to every machine now laborious-
ly turne byd hand, with crank, and is as
cheap power as perpetual motion. 1t will
secure for itself larger use and more prof
table market than any invention of the 10Th
century, accomplishing ultimately COM
plete revolution in the domctc economy
of the world. am prepared to prove
all that is claimed above, and especially to
demonstrate that the business of making
wheat and corn into -four and meal belongs
as much to the kitchen as does the grinding
of coffee. The object of this card is to find
some person with whom arrangements can
be made for capital to put this invention at
once and on Il large scale into the markets
of the world.

The FIRST SHoTs on THE PoTo-
MAc.-The Richmond Wing, of the
10Th, reports the following first
passage ut arms on the Potomac:
A detachment Of Capt. Randol-
ph's howitzcr company, ofthis city,
engaged in constructing battery
on York River, saw one of Lincoln s
piratical craft prowling in the
stream below, last Wednesday morn
Ing, and served notice on it to quit
in the shape of a shot from one of
their guns. The fire was returned,
and some six or eight exchanges
took place, when the Lincoln craft,
following the illustrious procedcnts
of the war thus far, turned tail and
disappeared. 1t is not known
whether any shot took effect upon
her. Two spent balls from the
vessel come within the works of the
howitzcrs, one striking Il gun car
riage, but neither doing any dam
age. The battery was in charge of
our young townsman, John Thomp-
son Brown.

WlLL stand again the present season at
w my stable, miles North Of McKin-
ney, and the price for the season for mares
left with the horse, will be $50. Mares that
were bred to him last season and did not
prove in foal, may be bred this season graf
is. The season will expire the 10Th July
In offering this horse to the public, l do
not have to trace his pedigree through
long list Of doubtful ancestry. His sire was
the imported horse Jordan; his dam was
the imported mare Platina; both being of
the best stock of England, which may be
seen by referring to his handbills.
This horse has proven himself superior
breeder, and as to appearance, l think him
equal to any; but as all horses are fine on
paper wish gentlemen to see him and
judge for themselves.
