Farming Implements.
ToHNsTON's seIfRaking Reaper

We wish to introduce to the notice of the farmers
this perfect elf-Raking Reaper
But two of these machines were brought to this
State last year, one of which was sold by us to j.
Wayt Bell, ESQ.,, upon whose farm its merits
were most thoroughly tested, in the presence of
many intelligent farmers. In proof of its com
plete triumph under all circumstances, and in all
kinds of grain, we deem it only necessary TO re-
fer to the following certificates:

I purchased of you last year, did all that you
claimed for it / used it in cutting over one hum
dred and eighty acres of land-wheat, oats, bar
ley, and cloverseed-in each of which it dld the
work perfectly. l used the same two horses all
harvest the draft being SO light that [ did not
consider it necessary 10 change them, notwith-
standing had others standing idle.

It performed admirably-laidt the sheaves straight
and cut the sWath smooth-both in short and
heavy wheat. JOHN RAMSEY.
We the undersigned, farmers residing in Au-
gusta county, Va, witnessed the performance of
the Johnston Self Raking Reaper, as operated

ceeds anything in the shape of reaper that we

COUNTY CANVASS.

Our canvassers are at work with an energy
which shows it will not be their fault if the peo-
pie do not appreciate the vital Importance of the
crisis The whole burden of the canvass for the
common cause, should not be left to fall upon the
appointed ''canvassers'' alone. There are other
gentlemen who should share it with Them who
have equal ability time and means to devote to
it. So far Messrs. Peyton and Phillips have rem
dered efficient aid.
Let, too, the superintendent of districts, the
chiefs of fifty, and leaders of tens, cooperate by
urging the people to attend the meetings so as to
awaken general interest When the speakers
go to the trouble and expense necessary to get to
distant points in the county, they deserve to be
welcomed and encouraged by good audiences.
The ladies, too, should attend. Heretofore
there might have been objection to ladies taking
part in politics, because it tended to create
troversies and feelings between neighbors, when
they were divided between opposing political
parties. But now all ladies are on the same side
and can work together in mutual sympathy for a
cause in which they have the most vital concern.
If the ladies appreciate the dangers of the hour
to themselves, there will be few men who will
dare to be laggards at this election.

Deaths.

Died at the residence Of her father, in Harri-
sonburg, on Friday, the 10Th inst, Miss MERRILL
YosT, in the 18th year Of her age.
Further notice next week.
On the 18th instant, near Waynesboro, Angus.
ia county Mrs SUSAN T. BERRY, wife of David
Berry aged 40 years, months, and 10 days,
The deceased had been for over 70 years a pro-
fessed Christian and died trusting in the merits
of the Saviors blood.
On the 18th inst, EsTELLE SOPHIE, in the 4th
year of her age daughter of Prof e. Louis and
Sarah Idc, of Staunton.
Died, in Harrisonburg, on Sunday the 10th of
Nav Mrs MARGARET WARTMANN, wife of JnO.
II. Wartmann, in the 5Oth year of her age.
Nearly twenty years ago she made profession
of her faith in Christ and connected herself with
the Presbyterian church of Harrisonburg, during
the Passionate of the Rev. Henry Brown, from
which time till her death she maintained an &C
tive christian life, manfesting the power of reli-
gion by her Cody walk and conversation and
faithful discharge of all the duties devolvng up
on her. Her illness which was protracted, was
ever viewed by her in the light of Christening
imposed by her Heavenly Father not in the way
of anger but of love, and strengthened with His
might and sustained by His grace, she bore her
sufferings with unmurmuring patience and cheer
full acquiescence in the divine will.
Her communion with her Savior was constant
and intimate, and she approached with boldness
the Throne of Grace where she obtained mercy
and found grace to help in time of need.
Towards the last, as her bodily strength failed
she was enabled to desire earnestly to depart and
be with Christ. To her, Death had lost its ter
ror, and was regarded as a welcome messenger to
call her up higher.
Her mind remained clear till the end, and hel
last words were, 'Hallelujah, Halleujah! amen
Thus triumphing over death by faith, she pass
ed gently away to him whom having not seen she
had loved, and into whose likeness now, seeing
Him as He is, she is being transported from glory
to glory. y. II. b.

On the Death Of her three beautiful DAUGHTERS
Have not the fow'rs of Spring come forth?
Has not the cold and noisy North
Hush its wild melody?
Have not the fields put on their green?
Has not the brook laugh'd in its sheen,
And leap'd toward the sea?
And the gay birds on lightsome wing
Have they not sung their song to Spring,
And told their tales Of love?
All nature seemeth full of glee,
The mountain peak-the grassy lea
Ais Joy around-abovei
Ais joy ali. mol one house is sad.
One heart that yesterday beat glad
Now mourns its treasures lost:
Death threw his shadow on her bower
The red cheek paled-the tender flower
Was blighted by the frost.
Where now those idols loved-adored
On whom the gentle mother pour'd
Her souls full tide of love?
Sleeping beneath the silent sod
Angels have borne their souls to God.
And they are bless'd above.
Console thee then, sweet mourning friend
TITS mercy that their life should end
Ere sin had tainted them;
For, when q spotless infant" dies,
A bright star seems to seek the Skies
To grace heav'n's diadem
