1HNHE simplicity and practicability of this new

notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The

way complicated. The plow is managed in eyery
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-

We, the undersigned. citizens of Linn county.
Oregon having purchased and used upon ovr
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adiu.ting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy We
like the plow for its drought, because the is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being con.
structed of wrought iron-no castings are used
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in blowing, not having to make the nec-
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not thr wing tho driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the .GAY"

A TALE OF A CAT.-A short time
since man cut down tree on the prem
ises of Mr.. Augustus Prudhon, of this
Township In the hollow of the tree
was found nest of young squirrels.
The squirrels, which had not yet opened
their eyes, were taken to the house as
curiosity for the young folks. a cat was
on the premises at the time with litter
of kittens about the age of the squirrels,
and it was suggested that then good
opportunity presented itself to play
practical joke on Madame Puss. Three
of the kittens were sent to that bourne
from which DO luckless kitten returns,
and three of the orphaned squirrels were
put in their place. Strangely enough
the old cat did not seem to discover the
deception practiced upon her, but took
her foundlings and nursed and petted
them as fondly as if they were genuine
felines. AS her adopted children grew
in stature and began to exhibit decid-
edly squlrrel-like appearance, Madame
Puss thought she "smelt a mice" about
those strange, wayward children of hers,
but just where the point to the joke was
hidden, or in what particular ''clause"
OF cat-dom was found a precedent for
such bushy- tailed kittens, were mysteries
which beat the old cat. AS they grew
older she tried in vain to initiate them
into the mysteries of hunting; but alas
the wayward wards were all unmindful
of that rarcst of all sports for happy
kitten, catching mouse! The little
rogues were as full of mischief as kittens,
but there the semblance ended. Great
was the alarm of Puss when her pets ran
briskly up tall tree and leaped from
branch to branch as reckless of their
precious necks as if their poor old god
mother was not mewing them earnestly
to come into the house and act as good
little kittens are won't to do. As the
squirrels grew they became as familiar
in the house as kittens, and afforded rare
sport to those who watched the evident
anxiety of Madame Puss as she watched
the strange antics of her adopted chill
dren. Mr. Prudhon finally brought the
squirrels to Nashua and they are now
Gagged at the billiard saloon, while their
eventful history is being woven into this
singular tale of cat-Nasiua, Loaca,
