Mills, Straw Cutters, Horse Rakes, &C., &C.
This establishment has been in operation
now less than one year, and this season, ale
ready, they have sold over one hundred Of
their mills. The mill which is manufac-
tured by them is of their own invention,
and has met the appreciation of nearly all
the practical farmers and grain dealers in
the State; ard the style of manufacture
surpasses anything we have seen come into
the State. Their Straw Cutters are said
to be an improvement on everything yet
introduced. A sample of the mill and cut

A SPIRITUAL AFFINIrY.-We have r.

A SPIRITUAL AFFINIrY.-We have re-
ceived copy of a letter, said to be written
by the wife ola Deacon in certain church,
located in a pleasant village on the Minue-
sofa river, to the pastor of the church, who
is married man; and as the letter has be-
come public property, by having been the
cause Of church trial, we think it will be
a public benefit to publish it.
We are informed that the minister's wife
found the letter in his possession, and showed
il to her friends. This led to the erraignment
of the guilty couple, but they succeeded in
explaining the matter it contained as being
"meant in a spiritual sense" and thus
secured themselves for the time against ex.
pusion from the society. Subsequently,,
however, the matter occasioned good deal
of commotion among the membership, ard
trial is now believed to be proceeding.
The difficulty appears to consist in enabling
the less intelligent members of the church to
comprehend the spirituality of the letter.
The following is copy of tie letter:
my own darling; 1 am sorry you have so
much trouble; if it was possible for me to bear
it for you would gladly do it, but it seems as
though We are fated to be miserable when
