THE AUTOMATIC ORGANs.

In presenting the Automatic Organ, We boldly an
nOunee the greatest triumph IN musical instruments
Of the age. During the past half century, The French
and Germans have manufactured reed instruments
with double bellows and two pedals for che fest TO
operate, but the want Of the reversed or Exhaustion
Bellows, (which is the only bellows used In our 4nsti q
mentsl, made IL impossible for them 10 produce the
mellow, rich and musical tone for which our Instru
ments ara celebrated.
Another objection to this method OF blowing was
that, both feet being occupied, no opportunity was of
Tered for the management OF the swell. Within TIE
past two years, instruments constructed on this Euro
pean plan Of double bio EOre," have been manuf tct-
ured in this country, and to counleract this dinculty
(want OF = swelO . lever has been projected from the
centre Of the instrument to act upon the swell. and
operated By the knee. The Inconvenience aha confor.
ton necessar- to effect this object are disagreeable
enuueh to y gentleman. but 70 . lady the use Of such
an a~ppendage / nearly impossible.
Our Automatic device Obviates this din Guilty entire
", the simple act Of blowing with more or less force
giving the desired increase or decrease la the volume
Of tone.
For seventeen years the superior excellence Of our
kelodeOns has not been questioned. and for Two years
past the enormous demand has made It impossible for
us TO meet our orders promptly. with our increased
facilities, We feel warranted in assuring our patrols
hat their orders will be promptly met, and solicit .
continuance Of their patronage.
Caution to Purchasers.

From tie Spectator May 27.J

The treatment of paralysis ard apo
plexy by the application of ice to the
spine has yielded some very remarkable
results, which are detailed in the The
Medical Times and Gazette for the 9th inst.
La one case the patient, Il, gentleman,
had been seized with paralysis on the End
December, became rapidly worse, and
when Dr.. Capman first saw him, on the
4th December, he was in a profound
stupor, could not be reused, and the right
arm gave no signs Of sensibility, the head
was hot, the eyes closed, and the face
drawn. The hOt-water bag was first APP
piled to the upper spine to reduce the
temperature of the head, and afterwards
the ice to the "dorsal and lumbar region"
On the 5th December signs of conscious
ness returned, and the face became more
symmetrical on the 9th he could con-
verse by monosyllabIeS, on tile 18th De-
cember he could read The Times, and
dress and undress himself, and on the 30th
January the patient thought himself quite
well. The other case of apoplexy (n
its worst form) was still more remark
able. The patient, a tull-bodied woman,
had a stroke on the 18Th March, and was
so near to death that the local surgeon
said she was dying, and on the 14:h
March sent a woman to clay her out"
She had remained in this state absolutely
unconscious for forty-eight hours before
DIR. Chapman saw her, and the ice treat
ment was begun. Her recovery has been
slow, but the account of the case ia The
Medical Times and Gazette reports steady
improvement, recovered consciousness
and appetite, and all the other signs Of
conyalescence on the 1st inst. The meth
cd seems to be now admitted by very
high authorities as one of great power in
many nervous disorders.
CURIOUS WEDDING.-Much gossip and
amusement has recently been caused in
Drifield in consequence of Mrs. Mary
Piercy, one of the notabilities of the place,
the hale relict of the late Mr.. William
Percy, who was for many years "the
skipper of a KEEP plying between Drift
field and Hull, and who has reached the
reputed age of 81 years, agreeing to unite
her fortune and fate with Mr.. John Blow
man, a jolly journeyman tailor, of the age
of AZ. Mr.. Bowman, being a lone widow
er with a family, the buxom Mrs. Mary
has for some time shown him more than
a friendly feeling, which even the affec-
tons Of Mr.. Bowman, who, like Sam
Weller, could not, with all his Pickwick-
ian philosophy, withstand the blandish-
ments and charms of a "widder'' of the
tender age of "a years, and possessed,
too, of a little of that, which often gllds

The First Reaper and Mower Manufactured
in Seneca County.

The First Reaper and Mower Manufactured
in Seneca County.
We noticed at the Seneca County Far
very fine machine of the above kind,
manufactured by the Tiffin Agricultural
Works, of this place, and we took it upon
ourselves to call at their works few
days since for the purpose of making
thorough investigation Of this machine
ind to obtain a correct history oil hs
origin, and as far as possible its future
destiny.
We we're informed that the whole ma
chine has originated in Tiffin, being the
invention of our fellow.townsman, j. 5.
Davis, who, by the way, is one OF the best
mechanics in the country, and having the
benefit of the experience and skill Of the
entire corpse of mechanics attached to
and managing the Tiflin Agricultural
Works, twill be wonder if they should
not produce machine second to none in
the United States. Some Of the more
prominent points of excellence of this
machine are:
LIST. The object of the inventor is to
reduce machine to its most extreme
simplicity, and at the same time have it
combine all the essential points to render
IL one of the most complete machines
ever made.
Cd. 1t combines the advantages Of o
one and two wheel machine.
Sd. It combines the advantages Of Q
jointed and rigid cutterbur.
4th. The tongue comprises the entire
wood framework OF the machine, and tn,
Vibration of the bar is from the end of thu
tongue. thereby rendering ii as reape
rigid bar and, throwing the entire sur
plus weight Of the platform and bar upoI
the two main wheels of the machine
Throwing only sufficient weight upon tn
outer platform wheel to secure the hori
.zCatal position to the bar,) thereby car
ryiag it over dead loroughs and guile
with the utmost ease. This also embra
ces another advantage as the bar yibrat
ing from the end of the tongue aud tn
seat being placed upon the tongue tn
disugreeuble and dangerous side jerking
and throwing Of the seat is entirely avoid
ed.
Another great advantage OF thi
machine is the large wheels; they ar
nov three feet and we are informed tina
these arc to be increased to ~ inche'
which will be the largest of any tY
wheel machine manufactured.
We might go on and fill column
enumeraiing the less important advant'
ges Of this machine, but do not deem
necessary, and viii only say that it is Ii
intention Of the parties interested in tn
machine 10 build sufficient number
these machines to introduce Them tho
oughly in different localities and to su
stantiate the many advantages of III
machine.
Farmers Of this community who vii
to get machine at home. should embra
the opportunity of calling and examinil
this machine.
We trust that the pfoprietors Of Il
enterprise will recsive such encourag
ment as will enable them TO push e
ward the completion and manufac ture
the machine 10 Tifin, and that we m
soon see an establishment here gisi
employment 70 hundreds Of mechanics
