ter Elevator and Carrier-A con-
trivance for conveying water from spring up
an elevation is no new thing. In fact, many
such inventions have operated successfully.
In putting the above machine before the pub
lie, we claim for it the still greater merit that it
will also accomplish the far more difficult ope-
ration of first lifting the water from well of any
depth, and then conveying it up an elevation to
the house.
1t is equally adapted to lifting material from
mines and conveying 80 the place of deposit
for lifting hay from wagon with the addition
of a hay fork and depositing in the NOW, and
for any other operation where heavy weights are
to be raised and carried.
To persons living elevated situations it is
an invaluable oontrivance supplying album
dance of fresh water from distance with COM
paratively little outlay of time and labor.
The machines are manufactured for us, at
present, by Eyler, Cooper & Co., of Staunton,
Va, who are prepared to fill orders promptly

DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTIONAL meeting
of North River Township will be held in Mount
Scion on Saturday next for the purpose of elect
ing delegate to represent that township in the
Conservative State Convention which will meet
in Richmond on the 30th inst, for the purpose
of recognizing the Conservative party of the
State.
The importance of selecting the very best men
as delegates to that Convention cannot be over
estimated We hope this county will be repre-
sented by its wisest. purest and best citizens
The interests of the State and the public good
should be the motives which should control the
people in the selection of delegates to that Con-
vention. Individual interests and selfish motives
should not be allowed to have control in the
meetings which select delegates. These meet
ings should be numerously attended SO that their
action will properly and fairly represent the SEN
timents of the people.
The FALL CANvAs.-The notes of prepara-
ton for the Fall canvass are beginning to be

to the Spectator. We will send the Spectator
to subscribers from now till after the Fall cleo
tons in November for the sum of fifty cents
each, paid in advance, or we will send it to a
club of fve till that time for only taOo dollars,
paid in advance. Persons who feel interested in
the results of these elections-and all should do
so-should prevail upon such voters as are not
subscribers to secure the Spectator upon the
terms thus offered.
INCREASE OF SUBscRIBERs.-lt affords us
pleasure to be able to announce that quite num-
Der have already avaled themselves of the OPP
portunity offered to get the Spectator at So per

the tide of new subscribers which has set in will
continue to flow with increased volume, and we
have no reason to doubt that such will be the
case We hope that the many friends of the
Spectator will do us the favor to use some efforts
to introduce it into every family in this and the
adjoining counties. Let them know it can be
had on the following terms, paid in advance:
For one year, single copy $2-sin copies $40.

2 Its liberality-there being no restrictions
other than those prudent man would impose

that the patriotic citizens of Virginia will give
us fair share of their patronage, and for this
we confidently appeal to them. With its capital

kEMEDY FOR BURNs.-As so many accidents
of burning and scalding have occurred recently,
we deem 1t proper to state that an excellent rem
edy for scalds and burns is an embrocatIon of
lime-water and linseed oil. This remedy leaves
no hard coat to dry on the sores, but softens the
parts and aids nature to repair the injury in the
readiest and most expeditions manner The
mixture may be procured in the drugstores but
if not thus accessible, slake a lump of quick
lime in water, and as soon as the water is clear
mix it with the oil and shake well. If the case
is urgent use boiling water over the lime, and it
will become clear in five minutes The prepa-
ration may be kept ready bottled in the house.
and it will be as good when six months old as
when first made -
