DRESS AND MILLINERY GOODS
BUY THE BEST.

THE subscriber keeps constantly on hand
Il those Railway Horse Powers and Combined
Threshers and Cleaners, which took the first
premium at the n. Y. State Fair for 1862 and
ii has also mt every State and County fair at
which the propretors have exhibited it in COM
petition with others, and this, we know, is
more than can be said of any other Machine in
the United States. Some of the advantages of
those powers are: low elevation, slow travel of
team, and of course ease of team. 1t is great
labor saving implement, and will save more
than twice its cost every year, besides making
hard work easy. A bOv Is years old can use
it with ease. You can use any kind of horses
the second time loose, in Power without harness
es or halters, and with safety.
The Subscriber has had great experience with
all kinds of Horse Powers and Threshers for
the last Is years, and can safely say, taking all
things into consideration, this Machine will
whip the World, and do it easy, and one look
at it will be all that is wanting TO make a de-
cided stand on what Machine to purchase. 1t
is painted with Indian red, and striped with
blue and white, and vanished.
Those wishing these machines must speak for
them two or three months in advance, as the
orders on the Manufacturers are so large that
they cannot supply as fast as they are wanted.

But after they had gone, his reason re-
turned. There was reaction in the
public mind. The people failed to en-
dorse the proclamation. Pharaoh $
heart yearned for his poor slaves, who
had no experience, and could not take
care of themselves and so he went af-
ter them with a great army, and had it
not been for sudden rise of water he
would in all probability, have accom-
plished his humane designs. But the
water in the Red Sea got to deep.

COAL OIL EoR FRUIT TREEs.-A
gentleman formerly connected with coal
oil business in this city, tells us that sew
eral years ago, in taking lot of sample
bottles of oil on a journey for exhibition,
he accidentally had bottle broken, satu-
rating the saw-dust in which the bottles
were packed. When he arrived at his
stopping place, he put the sawdust at
the foot of plum-tree, it being about
the time of the blossoming Of the plum
trees. The result watched, and it turn
ed out that curculio which ravaged the
other plum trees in the orchard, gave this
one wide berth, and the plums were
saved to ripen.

Flying Foxes of Ceylon.

There are more singular inhabitants
of Ceylon trees than monkeys. The fly
ing foxes hang from them like fruit
The flight of these creatures is directed
! by means of membrane attached to
the inner side of each of the hind-legs,
and kept distended at the lower extremi-
Ity by Approaching bone, just as fore
and-ait sail is distended by a gait
Over the entire surface Of the thin mem
brane of which they are formed, sentent
nerves of the utmost delicacy are distrb-
uted, by means of which the animal is
enabled during the darkness TO direct its
motions with security, avoiding objects
against contact with which, at such times,
It's sight and other senses would be in
sufficient to protect it, BY day they
suspend themselves from he highest
of the silk cotton trees, hanging by the
claws Of the hind-legs with the head
turned upward, and pressing the chin
against the breast. At sunset, taking
wing, they hover, with lowering sound,
occasioned by the beating of their broad,
membranous wings, around the fruit
trees, on which they feed till morning,
when they resume their pensile attitude
as before. They hang in such prodigi-
Gus numbers, that the branches often give
way beneath their accumulated weight.
They fly in clouds as thick as bees or
midges. when at rest or asleep, the
disposition of the limbs Of the fying-iox
is most curious. At such times, it sus-
ponds itself by one foot only, brings the
other close to its side, and thus it is en-
abled to wrap itself in the ample folds OF
its wings, which envelope it like man
tie, leaving only its upturned head un-
covered. Its fur is thus protected from
damp and rain, and to some extent its
body is sheltered from the sun. AS it
collects its food by means of its mouth,
either when on the wing or when sus-
pended within reach OF it, the fyn5-fox !
is always more or less liable TO have the
spoil wrested from it by its intrusive
panions before it can make gond its
way to some secured retreat, in which
to deyour it unmo!ested. In such con-
ficts they bite viciously, tear each other
with their hooks, and scream incessant-
ly till, taken to flight, the prosecuted one
reaches some place of safety, where it
hangs by one foot, and graspng the fruit
he las secured in the claws and opposa-
BILE thumb of the other, he hastily re-
duces it to Jumps, with which he stuffs
his cheek-pounceS till they become dis
tended like those of a monkey then
suspended in safety he commences to
chew and suck the juices, rejecting the
refuse with his tongue.-MethodiSt.

COPPERAs AS A DIsINFEoTANT.-
Green copperas dissolved in water will
efectually concentrate and destroy the
foulest smells, if placed under bed in
hospitals and sick rooms, will render the
atmosphere free aud pure. For butch
ers' stalls, fish markets, sinks, and wher-
ever there are offensive, putrid gases,
dissolved copperas sprinkled about will,
in day or two, purify the atmosphere,
and an application once week will keep
it clean and healthy.
