To Manufacturers of Farm Implements
and Machinery.

The Committee charged with the DE-
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL
MACHINERY in the GREAT SANITARY
FAIR, to open on the 9TH of June, in the
city of Philadelphia, begs leave earnestly
to invite the active cooperation of all who
may be able to contribute, wherever resi-
dent, but especially those located In
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
1t is the ambition of the Committee to
make this Department worthily represent,
in its own sphere, the controlling indus
trial interest of the country. The simplest
article will be equally acceptable with the
most elaborate. The implement lowest in
money value, with that most costly. 1t
is PEOPLES FAIR, expressive ofsympathy
and affection for the suffering soldiers OF
the Union, and all are cordially invited to
cooperate in the good work. Let each
one contribute to the cause in proportion
to his means. A Grubbing-hoe, or Hay
rake, the handy workmanship Of him who
tolls for daily bread, will be as gratefully
received, highly estimated, and conspicu-
ously displayed, as the most costly ma
chine, the triumphant result of combined
capital and skill. Come, then, one and
all, with much, with little, and swell the
testimony of the peoples gratitude. If
there be any who would willingly contri-
butte costly machine, but who cannot
afford so to do, let them ask others to join
in the gift. There is no better way to
aid in furtherance of the benevolent OBJ
iect of the Fair.
1t is suggested that greater money
results may be attained if the machines
be finished in the ordinary way only
thus no special effort will be needed in
preparation, and larger gifts may be affor-
ded. Very respectfully.
DAVID LANDRETH, Chairman.
JoHN H. GRAHAM, Secretary.

WORDS.
RY J. W. DUGGAN.

How oft from angry lips depart,
Some word, that pierces to the heart,
Like adder's sting, to tester there,
Iu brooding silence and despair.
How oft has joke or repartee
Been cause of lasting misery,
And friendship severed even by
4 naughty glance, cold reply.
How oft has love been turned aside,
By careless word or silly pride;
And sorrow come, but when too late.
10 change that careless word of fate.
How oft have fierce contentious rose,
And war with its long train of woes
Succeeded to one angry word,
From tyrants, king or selfish lord.
And oft hath sorrow kept
Her tears unseen, and secret wept
For words unkind which hath been said
OF some dear friend now with the dead.
Oh then, let all our words be kind,
That they no sting may leave behind;
For he who speaks with evil tongue,
Doth both himself and victim wrong.

Great Rifle Shooting.

Mr.. Cleveland in his "Hints to Rife
men" relates the following story ola feat
performed by Captain Wilson of 18th
kentucky Cavalry, which is likely to live
as one of the most extraordinary ever ac-
complished with firearms. Captain Will
son is an unconditional Union man, living
in a disloyal ncighborhood:
His neighbors had threatened his life.
In consequence of this Captain Wilson
had fitted up log crib across the road
from his front door as sort of arsenal,
where he had his Henry Rife, Colts Re
volver, &C. One day, while at home din
ing with his family seven mounted guer-
illas rode up, dismounted and burst into
his dining rom and commenced firing
upon him with revolvers. The attack
was so sudden that the first shot struck a
glass of water his wife was raising to her
lips, breaking the glass. Several other
shots were fired without effect, when Cap
tain Wilson sprang to his feet, exclaim-
ing, "For Gods sake, gentlemen, If you
wish to murder me, do not do it at my
own table in the presence Of my family"
This caused parley, resulting in their
consent that he might go out doors to be
shot. The moment he reached his front
door he sprang for his cover, and his as
sailants commenced firing at him. Seve-
raj shots passed through his hat, and
more through his clothing, but none took
effect upon his person. He thus reached
his cover and seized his Henry Rife, and
turned npon his foes, and in five shots
killed FIVE of them; the other two sprung
for their horses. As the sixth man threw
his hand over the pommel of his saddle,
the sixth shot took off four Of his fng-
ers; notwithstanding this be got into his
saddle, but the seventh shot killed him
then starting out, Captain Wilson killed
the seventh man with the eighth shot.
In consequence of this feat the State
of Kentucky armed his company with the
Henry Rife.

na. Some "fellow" way down in Ohio
who is probably too lazy to work and to
honest to steal, sighs his soul away IN the
following poetic efusion:
"Oh, is there no happy land
A land beyond the seas
Where pot-pie smokes in boundless lake
And dumplings grows on trees.
Where gingerbread is found in stacks
And 'Sweitzer' by the ton;
And when you do a job of work,
You get the ready john
Where Natures lesson may be read
In every babbling brook!
Where bumble-bees don't sting chap,
And mully cows don't hook"
