EUREKA

\ ohHhA CORN PLANTER
This Machine is mounted on wheels, the
same AS the wheat drill. with drivers seat,
and has two sets of Shovels and Coyerers.
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 i'll planting corn by this Machine
are that the burrows are more uniform,
the checkering more accurate, and the
corn is derpped in newly drawn burrows
and covered with fresh earth, with more
uniformity tfran 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 in all its parts.
simple III construction, and readily and
conveniently handled.
2. The dropping is uniform and checker
ing accurate, for the reason that the Corn
and Fertilizerarc first dropped upon
seii-acting valve, at the point of the tube,
only several inches from the ground, from
which point it is lnstantaneoiisIy dropped
to the ft1rrow, without scattering or
stringing
3. The Fertilizer Is dropped accurately
and simultaneously with the Corn, with
out stringing along the flrrow
4. 1t plants two rows at the same time,
the Shovels and Co1erers adjusting them
selves to hard or mellow, rough or smooth
ground; and any ordinary farm hand can
manage the Machine without difficulty.
.. The Machine is also designed. by
simply reversing the Coyerers, to fIrrow
the first way for corn
+. By appending an extra shoueE at
t0ehmcnt it is converted into perfect
CULTIvAToR. and cannot be equaled for
shoveling in wheat and rye.
AS we have but q 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 Oh e, we may be able to furnish it
in time.
Every Machine is guaranteed.

The resolution complimentary to
Andrew johnson passed by the New
Jersey House of Representatives
to 17-must afford him especial graft
fication. He came SO very near con.
viction and disgrace, so far as that
could be accomplished by the Judge
nent of an unreasoning Senate, of
which the well-known and bigoted Mr..
Frelirghuysen from New jersey was a
member The home of that senator
now bestows eulogy upon the great
impeached, although she was at the
time of the impeachment one Of the
bitterest of republican States. Is this
not sign ofthe great revolution that
is rolling irresistibly towards its con-
summation?

ALLEGED WHOLESALE MURDER OF
BAB1Es.-As has been briefly announce
ed by telegraph, an aged couple, named
Nelson and Mary Reynolds, were ar
rested few days since on the charge
of numbering five young children at a
baby farming establishment at Hollis
ton, Middlesex county, Massachusetts,
The Springfield Republican says the
business of the old couple has been
known for long time, and they have
had charge of two hundred children
during the past three years, by then
own admission, most of them being il
legitimate. Regular physicians have
visited the establishment from time te
time, and everything was supposed to
be all right until within a few weeks
but a growing suspicion that a great
cruelty and perhaps murder outright
was perpetrated has been confirmed by
an employee (AIiss Mary Colby of the
old woman Reynolds. She says that
laudanum had been used to carry of
the babies, and that the crimes have
been concealed III at least three cases
by Withholding notices of the deaths
from the town clerk. Another witness
Miss Shebon, confirms this story, ano
even furnishes bottle containing the
poison from which she says doses have
been given to the children. Most OF the
criminal work is said to have been done
by the woman, but Mr. Reignold'
doubtless what was going on. Wher
arrested, the old couple denied the
charges of murder, and declared thai
the substance they gave the children
was a mixture of laudanum, sweet tine
ture of rhubarb and camphor, which
had been prescribed by physicians.
