DUmNG the time when Clayton was
ruler Of Arkansas, all juctices of the
peace had to be appointed by his excel
lency. One old negro, who thought
he knew enough to discharge the duties
of the Office, called on the governor to
bc examined and receive his appoint
mcni. Several questions were given
him. all of which he managed very
we'll. But when he was asked: What
would you do in a case where a man
had committed suicidey" "What
would do?' said the negro. "Well,
sah, in case like dat, de very least !
could do, sab, would be to make him
sport de child" lie was appointed.

r. CORN PLANTER.
This Machine is mounted on wheels, the
same rs the wheat drill, with drivers seat.
and has two sets of Shovels and CovererS,
hung by gum spring attachments, that
enable them to pass over distractions
The dropping arrangement can be readily
regulated to drop any number of grains
and any quantity of Fertilizer desired.
with precision and accuracy. The ad-
vantages in planting corn by this Machine
are that the burrows are more uniform,
the chcckering more accurate, and the
corn is dorpped in newly drawn burrows
and covered with fresh earth, with more
uniformity than can be done by manual
work, besides one Machine will do the
work of ten hands.
We claim specially tor this Machine over
all other patterns:
]. 1t is easily adjusted im all its parts.
simple in construction, and readily and
conveniently handled. ---.
2. The dropping is uniform and checker
ing accurate, for the reason that the Corn
and Fertilizer are first dropped upon a
self-acting valve. at the point of the tube.
only several inches from the ground. from
which point it is mstantaneously dropped
to the furrow, without scattering Or
stringing
8. The Fertilizer is dropped accurately
and simultaneously with the Corn, with
out strinsing along the furrow.
i. 1t plants two rows at the same time,
the Shovels and COverers adjusting them
selves to hard or mellow, rough or smooth
ground; and any ordinary farm hand can
manage the Machine without difficulty.
5. The Machine is also designed, by
simply reversing the Coverers, to fnrrow
the first way for corn.
6. By appending an extra shouel at
| tachment it is converted into a perfect
CULTIvATOR, and cannot be equalled for
shoveling in wheat and rye.
AS we have but limited time for
manufacturing these Machines for the
coming season, we would be glad to have
you call and examine for Yourself, or
correspond with us, so that, should you
desire one, we may be able to furnish it
in time.
Every Machine is guaranteed.

ETHAN ALLEN.-It was one hundred

Ethan Allen, with the assurance char
acteristic of the irst~class Yankee, de-
manded of the British officer in cons
mand of Fort Ticonderoga the sur

enough to say that the request was
made "on the authority of the Great
Jehovah and the Continental Congress, "
and apen those papers he took possess

brought out good many anecdotes Of
Allen, some OF which were supposed to
be planted beyond resurrection. Here
Is one: ....-... 4.s..
Allen was in church one Sunday
with number of friends listening to a
very high Calvinistic minister (exact
stature not recorded). The text chosen
was, "Many shall strive to enter in,
but shall hot be able, and the preacher
promised his remarks by observing
that the grace Of God was certainly
sufficient to include one person out of
ten. SECONDLY" disclosed the fact
that not one in twenty would attempt
to avail himself of salvation. At
thirdly" it came out that but one man
in fifty was really an object of Divine
solicitude. "Fourthly" was announced
and the estimate of the elect now re-
duced to greater correctness, the sad
conclusion was being drawn that only
