Important 10 Farmers.

It is a settled fact that no man can be
successful in farming who neglects to
make use of the improved machinery of
the present day, to perform his labor In
many instances it was on ly when their
crops were lying rotting upon the ground
that some farmers we're compelled to bury
their prejudices and avail themselves of
the great and decided advantages to be
derived from the use of improved ma
chnery. Among the many improvements
in machinery, there is none perhaps that
possesses greater value to the farmer than
Walkers Improved Steel Toothed, Hay
and Grain Rakes. These Rakes are said
to be equal to- if not superior, to any now
in use. The teeth of these rakes are
made of the very best cast steel, temper
ed in oil to a perfect spring temper. 1t is
confdently asserted that this Rake .'can
be operated by boy or girl to the extent
of twenty acres per day" antl is no doubt
one Of the very best cleaners in the world !;
so perfect is it in this respect, that the
gleanings of fifty acres of stubble will
more than pay for the Rake. 1t is said to
operate on rough equally as well as on
smooth ground These Rakes are manu-
faOtured by G. G. Roessing, Esq Butler,

" AsH'NGT0N. May u.
There is reason tn believe that 'ohn c.
Breckenridge is one OF the party recent
" captured in Florida. The Mr. McCul-
Tough, who was also captured, is believ-
ed to be the chemist referred to in the

NEW York, May 27.--Thc following
is from j. j. Hollis, Lieutenant Com
manding detachment of the second Flor.
ida Cavalry, and is dated Cape Sable,
Flu, May IS: In obedience to orders
cc we'd May 8, proceeded to Cape Sable
with detachment of the Second Florida
Cavalry to intercept any parties who
might be making their escape from the
Contederacy. On the morning of the
18th, at half-past two O'Clock a. m., a
boat with sail was seen near shore, the
picket boat Immediately pulled for it, and
upon challenging them and asking who
they were, was answered fishing boat.
The corporal that was in charge of boat
ordered them to surrender. which they
did without resistance, their revolvers
having been wet by the surf, and conse-
quently useless On being brought to
camp, examined every trunk, valise, &C.,
finding considerable Confederate money,
some gold, and few papers, which |
still hold possession of. They appear to
be an intelligent party Of men, and un-
doubleday have been holding important
positions in the tonfederacy. They all
acknowledge to have recently been in
Richmond
The party consisted of seven white
men aud colored servant. The servant
makes the following statement II was
hired at Sl0 per day, and my freedom af-
ter reaching Havana w. left Tallahas. ee
ON the 24th of April went to Gainesville
by railroad; from there to Chrystal rirer,
with three teams. one of six horses and
the other of four; we brought the boat
from Gainesville and aunched it in
Chrystal river on the I'd Of May, and
then went to Bay Port; up to this time
there had been but six white men in the
party; here we were joined by a man
from Tallahassee, who came down in a
Baggy. We left Bay Port the 9th instant
at nine in the morning, runing every
night when we could, and sometimes
during the day.
The men gave their names as follows
Frank Z. Ander on Richard S McCul-
ioct, Frederick Mohl, Henry Mccormick,
Julius G Pratt. Thomas A. Harris and
Isaac A. Honur. The troops making the
above arrest belong to the command OF
General John A Newton, and have been
in pursuit of this party of men since they
first made their appearance at Chrys-
tai river. 1t is supposed that the men
gave fictitious names to the officer make
Ing the arrest. As they have not yet been
received at Key West, tits not known who
they are, but their conduct looks very
suspicious and leads to the suppositivn
that they are men of some Importance.

crowd on Capitol Hill, and testooned up
on some of the officers, boquets, wreaths
and garlands. As has already been sta

day. accompanied by Gen Howard, with
boquets in their hands, and horses deco
rated with flowers

"Give it to Howard" shouted the null
titude, but he too, having but one hand
could only attend to his prancing horse,
so this veteran returned to his seat with
his offering, amid cheers on all Sides
Riding to the western entrance of the Ex-
ecutivc Mansion, Sherman dismounted
and with Gen. Howard and staff joined
the group on the stand. The reception
given to Gen. Sherman exeelled in enthu-
siasm that extended to any other officer.
Generals Logan, John w. Geary and Il.
Blair especially received the acclamations
of the multitude

Summnnitatinn5
TO the Editor of the St. CrOix Avis.
STR,

SIR,
In reading your paper of the 22nd inst,
I see q communication from DIR. M. A.
Raheem on the approaching epidemic /;
from this I learn that (by a good regula-
tion) the inhabitants of this Island are to
be deprived of his valuable services
should Cholera visit us. Not being q
Medical man | will not presume to sup
ply the place of one who claims to be a
Creole In the land where that-scourge OF
the world originated but if the DR.. and
his brethren cannot control or restrain
this disease in its own native Cline it is
possible he might not be able to do SO
here, ever if the Government would per-
NIT his valuable aid and skill.
Being thus deprived | would suggest a
remedy which the past summer was tried
and proved in Constantinople and there
saved many thousands of lives. 1t was
prescribed by the American Missionaries
and so successfully that the Sultan order
ed it prepared and distributed among
the poor Of the City !; the disease was at
once arrested, and from a mortality of 80
per cent. reduced to 5 per cent. and soon
left COnstantinople entirely. 1t is SIM
pie and harmless and can be used by all
ages and conditions, the remedy is Lau-
danum, Camphor, and Rhubarb in equal
parts, to be taken in doses of 90 10 so
drops, one dose is used at the first COM
mencement, if Diarrhea may be sufficient,
but if not a End, 3rd or even "a 4th can
be used without injury, the patient lying
upon his back, it will be found invariably
to check and cure the LIST symptoms of
the disease. Having been through five
seasons Of Cholera in the United States |
send you this communication in hopes it
may be of some benefit should this dread
cd Pestilence come among US.
Truly Yours,
Not an M. D.

hovel or the most solid house makes no
difference, the object of next to no value
being charged the same as the object of
comparatively great value.
The Notary Public fees are so dispor-
poriionateIy high rs 10 make that office
little less than nominal. Dreading the
expense, persons take their chance rather
than calling upon The said official for his
services, often in course Of time to the
great injury of the interests of those they
intended 10 benefit by their dispositions
in writing. That a considerable reduc-
ton in the rate of these fees, besides hene-
fling the Public in more than one res
pect, would also be in bhe true interest
OF the State Treasury that the revenue
from such fees would thereby be increas-
ed instead Of diminished, there is every
reason TO believe.
Hoping thatsome one or other OF the
Honorable Members Of the Colonial
Council will take the matter in hand l
shall only add, that IA Commission was
if l am not mi<taken-appointed some
years ago by Government for the purpose
Of revising the Tariff Of our Judicial and
court fees, but whether the Commission
have finished their labor and sent in their
report to the Government, or they are
still celebrating, has not come under my
notice.
Remaining, Mr.. Editor,
Your obdt. Servt.,
