operation.
FHIHE SUBSCRIBER HAS INVENT
n. ed and patented a Machine for crush
Ing and expressing the juice from Apples
and other fruit at single operation, there
by dispensing with screws, levers, presses,
and other cumbersome machinery, and
saving all the time and labor necessary to
separate the juices from the fruit by the
old process. This important result is at
tanned by a novel arrangement of crushing
and pressing cylinders together in one
heretofore constructed for such purpose,
and which must eventually supersede and
do away with all known processes for eX-
tracing juices from fruit.
The subscriber claims and is ready to
demonstrate, that the following advan-
tageS are gained over all other Machines:
LIST. With the same amount of power,
three times the quantity Of Cider or Wine can
be made in a day than can be made by any
other Machine.
Cd That from 25 to 40 per cent more Cider
or Wine can be extracted from the same
amount of fruit.
Sd. That it is more compact and simple
in its operation, stronger and less liable to
get out of order; is adapted to hand or
other powers ; is portable, and can be
transported readily from place to place I;
can be driven by any kind of power, and
can be attached to any machinery.
4th. 1t is cheaper in proportion to Its
capacity.
5th. II is stronger, being constructed en-
tfrely of iron. fe
OIL. Al DellS dudpteu IOT expressing
juices from all kinds of fruit, including
apples, Grapes, Rhubarb, or Vine Plant,
CLtTTd7lts, and Berries Of all kinds.
18th. That it is superior to any Root Gutter
known for the purpose of crushing roots of
all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier,
and better than any other Machine.
Sth. That it expresses the juice from A p
pies or other fruit the moment they are
crushed, wherein lies the great secret OF
making good Cider or Wine.
eth. That it does not grind or break the
seed of any kind of fruit; thereby doing
away with a great objection which is
urged against all other Machines.

A THRILLING INCIDENT lecture de.
livered recently by Grace Greenwood at
Boston, on Heroism she referred to an
incident that took place at the bnrning OF a
steamer on one Of the western lakes:
Among the few passengers whose cour.
age and presence of mind rosa supe ior 10
the night, was mother, who succeeded
10 saving her two little children by the
means Of floating Settee. While they
were in the water, the mother saw a man
swimming toward the settee, and, as be
was about to grasp it, she cried DoR'l
take it from my poor childrenl The man
made no answer, yet the appeal struck
home; for. by the light Of the 4 aiming yes
sci, che could see that his face was convuls
ed by the struggle between the mighty
primal instinct of nature and something
better and holier. 1t was hut moment
He threw up his hands with groan OF
renunciation, flung himself over backward
and went down.
