put her bonds upon the market at New
York and they were taked at 90 cents
Missouri is to be congratulated on HAYS

country. Tennessee bonds are quoted yery

a new series we could not place them at
much more than 90 cents on the dollar.

the debt of the State to such purpose that
our credit has sunk so low as to bring a
blush of shame to the cheek ofany one
who thinks seriously of it. Thew have

people actual, believe they are burthened

which is then exactly like the Avery

or taken off Have two holes punched
through the bar, one about one inch un>

behind this; then make a neck-yoke or
standard Of iron about the size of that in
the Avery, eighteen inches long, about
the same curve, with two holes in one
end TO match those in the bar to bolt it
to 1t, and the other end passes through
the beam with tap on it. Then make
a stock with long foot, similar to a bull
tongue stock, only heavier, then Ounch a
third hole through the bar to bolt the
foot on, so it will stand just behind the
standard and against it, giving it about
the inclination of the bull-tOngue foot,
setting the beam parallel with the bar
and sixteen inches from, to live space to
run deep enough the end of the beam
is cut in and boltcd to the side of the
foot, and the handles fastened to the
beam, and it is complete. The wing
shou d be about one ineh narrower, or
in other words, sh luld cut one inch less
