A FTER an extensive practice of upwards of Atwenty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States also in Great Britain, France and other foreign countries. Caveats, Specifications, Bonds, Assig gnments and all Pa pers or Drawings for Patents, executed on lib eral terms, and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works, to test the validity or utility of Patents o1 Inventions and legal and other advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting one dollar. Assignments recorded at Washing ton.
 The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it, inventors have ad vantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasurably superior to any which can be offered them elsewhere. The testimo- nials given below prove that none Is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE, than. the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABILI- TY, he would add that he has abundant req son to believe, and can prove, that at no other office of the kind are the charges for profes- sional services 50 moderate, The i'm mense pl ac- tics of the subscriber during twenty yerrs past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collec- tion of specifications and official decisions rela- tive to Patents. These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Flu rope, render him able beyond question, to of fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents.
 All necessity of journey to Washington. to procure patent. and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors. f

WET Go1p-FIsH DIE.-Wherever you meet with persons who keep goldfish in the old fashioned glass globes, you will be sure to hear tho melancholy complaint that they will
 die, in spite of every care taken to prevent
 hem. The water is changed most regularly, the glass kept beautifully clean, the vessel shaded from the sunshine; yet, alas! death is always busy amongst them. Is it internal disease? Is it external fungi? No; the cause is starvation. Every other pet is expected to eat, but these gold carp are expected to eat nothing. But don't they eat snimaculs r. Nonsensel Give them few small earth worms, or anglers gentles, twice week, and to pre-. vent the necessity of frequently changing the water, throw in handful of Anacharis-water .weed-and instead of floating in succession lon their watery bier," they will get plump and healthy, and grow as rapidly as in their native waters. Some of our goldfish have .,een in our possession seven years, and have increased in size to three times to what they were originally -.-Recreative Science. 1t@
 NEW RUBBER CEMENT.-Messrs. Editors:-I have purchased rubber cement of different makers, but have found none so inexpensive or that dries so rapidly as kind made with beasine in the following manner:
 Cut virgin or native rubber with wet knife into the thinnest possible slices, and with the
 shears divide these into threads as fine as fine 'yarn3 the finer it is divided the better the cement and quicker made. Put small quan- 1ity of the shreds (say one-tenth or less of the
 capacity of the bottle, into a wide-mouthed bottle, and fill it three-quarters full with ben
 zine of good quality, perfectly free from oil- such as may be procured at any paint shop for about sixty cents gallon. The rubber will swell up almost immediately, and in . few days, especially if ..often shaken, assume the ,onsistence of honey, with g thick sediment at the bottom, which doesno harm, Ofcourse
 i must be we'll corked except at the time of using If it incline to remain in undissolyed masses, more benzine must be added; but if
 co thin and watery it needs more rubber. A piece of solid rubber of the bulk of . walnut u will make pint, more or less, of the cel saent of proper consistency, tsiff tH a This cement dries in few minHtsa
 using three coats in the usual manner, will unite leather straps, patches, rubber sples, packs of books, etc. with exceeding frmness. { aa sucsesds perfectly If bensine free fomleis 1 | used in na4ine t xbIe TT I6 ls " ie j twenty times mots axrei2S SfF 25 .t s;s Ss. 2 'sssult in better product Fi .st98 Cor. ef Seiestifc Aaericsn:

CHEESE FACTORIES IN VERMoNT.--Messrs. Editoys--In compliance with your request l send you the following statistics of the cheese factory in this place. The business, which is conducted by stock company. was com tnenced in March, 1865, but did not get fairly under way till about May 1st The entire cost ,f6xtures, exclusive of the building, which was rented at $IOO per annum. was $l225., The actory employs three handsome man and two women. Manufacturers milk from $50 cows. In the best of the season made nine cheeses per day, each weighing one hundred pounds when cured. Milk delivered morning and eve ming in tin cans on spring wagons. Cheese sole at from 22 to 25 cents per pound, through t he season-at least three cents per pound above the best. private dairies. It took ten pounds of milk to make one pound of cured cheese. Whole cost of cheese per pound, box ed and delivered at the depot, two cents and one mill. Average gross earning per COW from ninety to one hundred dollars. The quality of cheese was firm, solid, mild. Pat \ ons we'll pleased and business enlarging. For generating steam, uses four-horse, upright tubular boiler. Uses Cooper's vats and Grays $ crew press. Uses no ice, but instead has copious flow of cold water conveyed in pipes rom spring not far distant. Some factories use ice to cool the milk in the vats, but sufh- eiently cold water is preferable. For the ma erial facts in the above statements we are in. debted to Allen Whedon, Esq, one of the principal proprietors. w. Ho1lIsrER,

HAVING.

8 4- This is now the great work for the farmer. How this crop may be gathered in the cheap est and best manner is now the important problem.
 Be in readiness to begin as soon as you have . single acre that is fit to cut more will be ready as soon as that is secured. This wait ing until the grass begins to " suffer- and to be cutting one acre after another, just after it has been laid or lodged by storm; this being driven by the work instead of driving the work, is not only very unpleasant but very improbable. Once behindhand, it may cost one quarter or one half more to secure the crop, leaving out of the account the dete- rioration of the grass, and the loss of the rowen for cutting or pasture. .
 Good tools and plenty of them should be provided. The loss for the want of rake or fork for single hour, may be more than its entire cost. ''~s 1
 The moving machine and the horse rake have become established institutions, and there are few farms which can afford to dis uense with their aid. We are nov offered the hay tedder and the horse fork. We have had no experience as yet in their use, but we are inclined to look favorably upon them. ft. 't These machines, though liable at times to get out of repair and fail us just when we need them most, yet everyone's experience tells him that his own body or his "h hired help'' is more complex machine, and even more liable to work unsteadily or break down altogether. By all means employ every true labor saving machine for then we are ren-
 iered independent of the hckle weather, and more fckle humanity. .a.
