These are the only Saws in operation that are

The slant edges between the points do not cut the
verticrl face Of each cutting, and the slant fol-

All Teeth are cutters All Teeth are cleaners. The
leugth, strength, stiffness and durability of these
teeth obvious. Note also speed, ease, simple

SPEED.-If two points are dressed to cut in line,
vertical or advancing cuts are more effective than
retreatng edges of old cutters used by all other
Saws.
EASEL is easier to pillow groove in timber
than to crush out one.
SIMPLICITY.-All points are the same length

thick raking and hook teeth, as they require SO
much shortening and REIMBURSEMENT.

THE BUGS xAsrrRxD-PARls GREEN FIXED THEN
LARGE YIELD AND FINE QUALITY OF THE "NuR-
PHlEs.'
One Of the first things which attracts attention
In the market, il the quantity and the very fna
quality Of potatoes This, under the circum-
stances ia somewhat surprising, when We were
led to fear in the early part Of the season that
there would be . short crop of potatoes, on 40
count Of the bugs. 1t has been, however, owing
to the plucky and energetic fight of the farmers
that wo have such fine potatoes. Coming by
thousands and, ~ some say, by millions, the
bugs attacked the potatoes on their first appear
Ance, and 10 destructive were they, that even
egg plant and tomato vines we're attacked and
injured. But Paris Green principally has done
tho business, and though the contest has been
sharp and determined, tho farmers have tri-
umphed, and are rewarded with large crop OF
tho finest kind Of potatoes.
In conversation with como OF onr leading
farmers, this morning We wore told how the
thing was done. Most OF them used Paris Green
mixed with meal to give it bulk, and make it
reach farther. The least contact OF the bugs
former, and they fell by thousands. Tho great
est caro- was exercised to keep stock from lIav-
ing any communication or freedom IN any place
where the poison was used. Every two or three
days, the vines had to DO looked over and tho
Green applied
Some farmers having more help than others,
went oyer thor potato patches almost every day
and shook the bugs from the vines into tin
vessel, from which they were thrown into fire
and in that manner destroyed. The expense and
labor in fighting the bugs has in some instances
been computed at moro than the cost Of saving
harvest of grain. and tho farmers are hopeful
that the same precautlon will not have to be ia
ken year after year, and the season Of "bug kill.
ing" become . part of the already multiplied
branches Of agriculture.
In regard to the price OF potatoes, it Was re-
marked, this morning, that while our local farm.
ers and truckers in King street market asked
for nice ones-the prices on Fourth st. amongst
the Jersey truckers, were very much
lower, being from 40 to so cents basket, for
some not 10 good, and only 90 cents basket for
tho best. It's represented that there are five
half-pecks in q basket, and the Jersey potatoes
are q good ~ any.

"FLoRAL TRIBUTE" AND A SPECIAL TRAIN-THE
STEAMSHIP GOES OFF AFTER ALL.
We find this story in the Chester Daily News
Among the passengers on board the steamship
Indiana which sailed for Liverpool on Thursday,
the 9Th inst, were a bride and groom whom
New York friend OF the parties desired to honor
at tho very moment Of their departure by the
presentation OF q handsome floral remembrance.
Telegrsphing to = Philadelphia friend he ar
ranged for the contamination OF his
ides. This friend received the offering,
which was i'll the shape Of very handsome
basket Of flowers, but snpposing that the
vessel did not sail until eleven O'Clock Of that
day, he delayed going to the wharf until nearly
that..hour when he Was Mortified to learn that
the Indiana left at 10 o'clock. Feeling that he
was bound in honor to fulfill his commission he
hastened to Broad and Prime whore he spga cd
special train to take him To New Cattle
Through Chester he passed At speed that
caused observers to stare with wonder, and At
Wilmington he was ahead Of the steamship. Al
New Castle he jumped into boat and was rowed
70 the approaching vessel, but no one thereon
took notice Of his signals, the vessel did not
stop, and he could only sit down in despair and
groan at his failure. The casket Of flowers now
adorns.the mantel Of his bed chamber, aremind.

cute romantic commission.

Tho Grain Trade.

INDICATIONS OF RENEWED ACTIVITY AT BALrI-
MORE.
During the past week, says the Sun, there
WAS more business done by Baltimore grain
dealers than for some time before, the sales be-
ing In enlarged volume. Tho grain trade il usu-
ally flat in June and July because Of the light
demand from Europe. In those months there
is \ stand-on between the grain dealers in
this country and England, each side awaiting
correct reports to the new crops, and it IL not
before August generally that the situation is
we'll enough understood to admit Of large trans
sections. The news from Europe the latter part
Of the week was unfavorable, the heavy rains
causing apprehension, and the English and
American markets were decidedly buoysnt il
consequence.
On Saturday there werc sales at the Baltimore
Exchange Of ~, 900 bushels Of corn at from s.
to S49l cents wheat sold from el.25 to I'll. 43
The shipmsnts TO- foreign ports on saturda,
were TO- 86 bushels corn, and on Friday ship
mepts were made of 400 bushels wheat ant
$4,000 bushels corn. The stocks il
the elevators are light at present. being OF
Friday 8O,7ll bushels wheat and 346,695 bush
els c,rn. The receipts from the West viii
doubtless Ii heavier hereafter, and the indica
tons are favorable for large grain trade with
Baltimore the remainder Of the summer. New
oats sold on Saturday At from GA to 6s cents.

The Baltimore Libel Sults

REyEnDY JOHNSON VOLUNTEERS TO HELP THE
NEWSPAPER sUED-Hfs OFFER AccEiTED-A
GREAT TRIAL IN PROSPECT.
BALTIMORE, July l9.-Tho three suits for libel
instituted in the Court of Common Pleas on
Friday last, by the Governor of Maryland. the
State Controller, and the State Treasurer, COM
posing the Board OF Public Works, against The
baltimore American, are likely to become sdju-
dicated ruling cases. To-day Reverdy johnson
rendered his professional services to tho proprl-
etors of The American. They were accepted,
and MIR. Johnson's appearance was entered in
each case az attorney. In his letter volunteer
ing his services Mr.. Johnson says.
MY motive for making this offer was, that
from the ground on which / understand the
suits have been brought, l thought the public
interest was concerned, and that the freedom
and usefulness OF the public press were in
volved. This being my impression, L cannot
agree to receive any pecuniary compensation
Owing to the high official and equally high SO
cial character and reputation OF the Plaintiffs
there can be no likelihood OF compromise or
settlement short OF the decision OF n legal trlbi-
nal The official conduct OF these gentlemen
being involved OIL the one part in these cases,
and the extent OF the liberty of the press to crit
icise and charge corruption to public officers on
the other the suits have already attracted at
tention throughout the State, Both parties are
represented by tho sblest counsel in Maryland.
