A MerItorlous Invention.

One of the most interesting and yalua'
Die inventions ever exhibited IN this city
ls on exhibition in Reid's new building on
Main street, near John. 1t Is connect
ing machine, or combination Of machines,
whereby the power Is applied 10 a variety
Ol useful purposes. The power itself IS q
marvel, single horse producing as much
apparently as is generally obtained from
a twenty-horse engine. To the driving
mechanism may be attached ihreshing
machine planning mill saw mill ! q
hay, straw and cornstalk cutter cider
mill; mill for grinding feed a root and
vegetable cutter, and corn Sheller. And
all for less money than Is paid for tho Or
binary threshing machine, while one horse
will thresh as much In a day as four In
the ordinary machine, The plSneF will
DO the work ol planning machine In any
large mill. The saw will cut wood as fast
as It can be piled on and slit boards very
rapidly. The thresher removes every
kernel ol the grain, but does not break
the straw. 1t is the completest thing oil
the kind We ever saw work, With one oI
these combined machines, costing, with
the driving mechanism, about $3.50, the
larmer, with q single horse, can thresh bis
own wheat, oIts, rye, SC, can cuthis OWL
wood, fencing plank and lumber, make
Ills cider, cut roots and grind feed Tor hi
horses and cattle, shell his corn and dc
what planning he needs The power Is
easily attached, the tranaier from one ma
chine TO another being made IN q lew
minutes.
This may seem extraVagant, and yet 1t
sail literally true, as any one may see
for himself by visiting Mr. REIn's ware
house and seeing the machine in actual oP'
Cnlion. The proprietors arc Messra Il,

that her brother, George Washington
