CATARACT WAsH.BoILER WI clean clothes '0ithOt
rubbing, and almost acitho1t labor. This wash
boiler, being an improvement by Rev. NJ. W. Sta
pies on the Automatic Wasb-6oiler, invented and
patented by him in 1867 (which was the first Wash
boiler ever invented and which was patented in all
European countries, and which took the premium IN
all cOuntries), claims precedence over all others
which are but limitations. The fact that the first In
vention gave such and of which
millions were sold, is a guarantee for the one now
offered.
The Rev. Enoch Thomas, of Craigsville, Augusta
county, Va, has now the entire control of this
Boiler, and offers county rights for the South and
West at such prices that almost any person can pnr-
chase one, and make fine profit in selling by retail.
He viii furnish all the particulars. Address him at
once if you desire a chance to make something for
yourself at very little outlay. Fortunes have
already been made on the sale of the first one in
vented.
The Editor of the Central Presbyterian is pre-
pared to express the opinion that the article above
mentioned is one of great merit and its remarkable
simplicity and cheapness commend it strongly to

Died, near the top of Middle Mountain, Alleghe
ny county, Va, on the 22d ult. Mrs. ELIZA G. Nc
PHEETERs, wife of the late Rev. S. B. McPheeters,
d. D., of ST. Louis, Mo.
After few weeks stay at the Sweet Chalybeate
Springs, Mrs. MeP. was endeavoring to reach the
town of Fincastle, where she had left three of her
children, that she might die among them. Having
started upon her journey with her usual strength,
and having expressed within an hour of her death a
sense of bodily ease and comfort and her admira'
ration of the wild mountain scenery through which
she was passing, the messenger came unexpectedly,
but found her ready. Her last words were, "Jesus
is with me,' and she died as one who passes into
peaceful sleep.
Nearly her whole life was spent in the service Of
the Master. She did not shrink from that service
even when 1t promised earthly hardships she main
taind her Christian trust under such trials do not
fall to the lot of many in this world she has left
the testimonies of her Christian fidelity in those who
have been brought to the Saviour or strengthened
in the faith through her fundamentally.
''Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep!'
She had been declining gradually since January
last and it will crafty her numerous friends in this
and other States, to know that her last days were
eheered by all the attention and care that the
affection of very devoted relatives and friends could
bestow.

SAw-GRAss LANDS OF SOUTHERN FLoRIDA.-From
statement in the advertising columns it will be
seen that the Big Salo Grass" advertised short
time ago by the Rev. Joseph Brown, was promptly
purchased by two gentlemen in Virginia. Mr.. B.
and son are acting in that part of Florida for Will
hams & Swami, of FerRandina, public surveyors
for the State, who receive their compensation from
in grants of lands, which they now offer for sale.
We repeat the statement made some time ago from
personal observation, viz that according to the con-
vction of all who have had opportunity for judging,
these sac grass lands of Southern Florida ex-
eeedingly fertile. Most Of them be readily
drained, and brought into cultivation; and while
suitable for the growth of other crops, their mex
haustibe fertility makes them specially valuable for
the production of sugar
They are exciting no little attention, and are likely
to be rapidly bought up. See advertisement of the

A NCLOTE SAW-GRASS.
The advertisement of the "BIG SAw-GRAss," in
serted in the Central Presbyterian short time ago,
quickly arrested attention, and brought large num-
Der of inquiries. 1t almost Immediately sold to

splendid capabilities of these lands may be brought

This is the name given to large body of SalO-
Grass land lying in the Southwest corner of Her

this kind OF land, it can be drained and fitted for
cultivation, and is exceedingly rich There is part
of this tract which has drained itself within a few
years. and can now be dried with moderate ditching
and made ready for cultivation. This section con
tains not less than 40 acres, and is connected with
the main body by narrow neck.
There are several smaller tracts IN the same vlcn
ty, which might suit persons of more limited means.
On this same vicinity there is fine body OF rolling
pine land).
This fine tract of land can be purchased, by spe
cial arrangement, at 81 per acre. with little
dredging at the mouth of Anclote river good navga
ton can be obtained to within very short distance
of the main body of this land. VIII not some per-
sons secure this favorable opportunity of securing
valuable tract at low price? The titles to these
public lands are perfectly secure. The under

Of discussion in the Prussian press and the Ma
ti0aQl letting now points out that so far as the
number of students is concerned Berlin is certainly
no longer the first Of the German universities.
Last balf-year it had 2.603 students; it is now
500 only, while at Leipzig there are , 5l5 stu

been out-stripped by another Germany university,

Gates BACK.SUCTION PREvENTOR FOR
OIL WELLS, patented Augus: 15. 1871, which en-.
trey prevents the ingress OF air in oil wells, while
the tubing is being drawn. 1t is a well known fact
10 oil operators, that upou wells where Gas Pumps
are used it Is necessa to preserve as nearly per-
feet vacuum as possible, and that no air should be
let into the well, a. any time, when it can possibly
he avoided; consequently, whenever the tubing Is
drawn fr III well it is the cause of great injury to
it, as the stutins hox, being thon necessarily open
Cd the air immediately ruJhes back between The
tubing and casing. into the well goug into tic oil
rock and gas veins, and scqiently causin. the
oil and gis 10 rush back TO Il great distance So
much SO, that it almost always takes several days
ter pumping is resumed for well to be brought
several weeks; and quite frequently wells have been
almost completely ruined by the air being thus let
in while drawing tubing
The BACK.SUCTION PREVENTUR is attached
to the stating box and works in such way that it
completely shuts up the space between the stuiinc
box and tubing so efectually that not pnrticle of
mir can get through at any time while tho tubing is
being drawn and replaced. 1t supplies a want long
felt, and is, without question: one Of the most val
liable inventions of the day, to those in the
oil business, No well SHOULD be without it, az it of.
