u CORN PLANTER.

This Machine is mounted on wheels, the
same as 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 obstructions.
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 checkering 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:
l. 1t is easily adjusted in 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
sef-aeting valve, at the point of the tube,
only several inches from the ground. from
which point 1t is lnstantaneously dropped
to the turrow, without scattering or
strinSing
8. The Fertilizer is dropped accurately
and simultaneously with the Corn, with
out strlnSlng along the furrow.
4. 1t plants two rows at the same time,
the Shovels and Ceverers adjusting them
selves to hard or mellow, rough or smooth
ground; and any ordinary farm hand can
manage the Machine without difficulty.
8. The Machine is also designed, by
simply reversing the Coverers, to fnrrow
the first way for corn.
6. By appending an extra shovel at
tac1tnent it is converted into a perfect
CULTIvAToR, and cannot be equolled 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 ter Yourself, or
correspond with us, so that, should you
desire one, we may be able to furnish it
in time.
Every Machine is guaranteed.

probably fatally shot by mulat.o man

been living with Bruce as his mistress,
but had recently been trying to avoid

Mr.. BEEcHER AND HIS W1FE.-Mrs.
Durham, writing from New York to
the st. Louis Republican, draws the
following pen picture of Mr.. Beecher
and his wife as they appear in court:
He has the last Scribner in his hand,
and, cutting the leaves, he talked to
the lawyers in front of him. Beecher
has grown thin in three actually
thin. His hair, so long and sparse,
trickles in an aged way behind his ears,
but his face is not old. The exceeding
long, straight upper lip looks swelled,
and the peculiar bull troggy bulge
about the eyes is still greater, but the
eyes are bright and the complexion
young, and his smiling mouth shows
good teeth, not of DR.. SINNERS manu-
facture. Mrs. Beecher is small and
white as a rabbit. Her skin is mar
vellously white, and her hair is snow
itself. She wears more clothes than a
doorway in Chatham street. She divests
herself of wraps and woollen things
and knit things, and finally sits con
fessed, the severe Spartan spouse in all
her glory. She takes off her bonnet,
beneath which is close cap of black
lace and blue silk and holds that hat in
her hand.
Contemporaneous with the suspen-
sion Of navigation and the resumption
of pedestrianism on the part of Noah
and his family was the creation of that
bonnet. A regular farewell vain world
frame is the foundation wherein is
stretched velvet by the yard. No
SLOUGH of a hat is the Beecher hat. It's
as good as chaise top, and only lacks
the wheels. Any way, it gives great
dignity of carriage to Mrs Beecher,
and affords her much solicitude during
the trial. If anything brings Beecher
through this ordeal it won't be legal
acumen or pluck, or cheek, though
there's lots oft, but it will be the
sustaining, unfaltering support of that
bonnet, which is sort of millinery tow
line, black velvet beacon, veritable
capillary cocktail. Id go into battle
with that bonnet quicker than wink.

Heavy Snow Storm In the West.

ST. LOUIS, March ga furious snow
storm commenced here about one
o'clock this morning and ragged the
remainder of the night. The snow now
lies about foot deep on a level. All
the street railways are blocked, and
traffic of all sorts is much impeded. All
railroads centering here are more or
less blocked, and trains are m UGH
behind time. No such storm has pre-
vailed in this section for eleven years.
BLOCKADE IN TOLEDO.
TOLEDO, O., March 3.-The most
violent snow storm of the season set in
this morning, accompanied by gale
from the northeast, and still continues.
The street railways are entirely aban-
doned, and railroad travel generally is
much interrupted in all directions. In
some instances the freight trains are
abandoned and the passenger trains
from one to three hours late.
ALBANY, N. Y, March ga snow
storm set in here this afternoon which

WHAT THE MANAGERS THINK.
Theodore Moss of Wallack' Theatre,
said that the management had not de-
termined bow to act. Theatres are a
luxury, and the managers ought to
have the right to run them in their own
way, and admit whom they please to
admit, and to refuse admission to those
who would iniure their business or
who were otherwise Objectionable.
Sheridan Shook, Of the Union Square
Theatre, stated that the theatre would
no doubt obey the law, but it did not
follow that colored people would be
admitted except on the conditions
made by the proprietors. Mr.. Fiske,
of Days Fifth Avenue Theatre, said
that there had been set aside a portion
of the family circle in that house for
colored people, and he did not expect
that the arrangements would be altered
except under The advice of the counsel
Mr.. Tooker, of Booths Theatre, stated
that there would probably be union
of interests, and the theatres would be
governed by the advice Of counsel.
At the Lyceum Theatre and the Acad-
envy of Music it was also understood
that the managers would be guided in
their course by counsel.
INTENTIONS OF HOTEL KEEPERS AND RES
TAURANT PROPRIETORs.
The leading hotel proprietors were
also interviewed, At the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel, Mr.. Griswold said that he
did not think the bill would trouble the
New York hotel proprietors. To the
question if he would permit colored
men to have such rooms as they desir-
I'd; he1said he did not allow the present
quests to dictate to him as to what per-
ion OF the house they would occupy
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1875-03-11

The New York Tribune says the
civil rights bill having been signed by
the President, the question Of the right
of colored people to the privileges of
the hotels and theatres is exciting con-
siderable attention in that city. A
Tribune representative conversed on
Tuesday with the managers of several
leading theatres as to the probable eff
feet of the law on their business.
