Almost daily some discovery is an
nounced, which is astonishing alike for its
simplicity and its great value. Such is the
invention b5 which The Forest Tar Co., are
enabled to utilize pure tar as medicine.
Its great healing power has long been rec.
ognlZed, but not much used here tofore, be-
cause of the inconvenience Of handling tar
in its crude state. Under the name of
Forest Tar it is put up in various forms
suitable for taking internally and con-
venenient for outward application. Ask
your Druggist Eberle, for these preparations
write the Forest Tar Co., Portland, Me-, tor

The increasn popularity of the Water
town Threshing Machines is quite fattering
to their manufac turer Mr.. J. B Bennett.
In Minnesota The Watertown Thresher and
Separator is becoming quite favorite, and
all who have used it do not hesitate 30
come forward and testify to the superior
merits of the machine.
In the Farmers Union, published at Min
neapolis, Mimi we find the following tes-
tim onial to the Watertown Thresher, which
we take pleasure in copying:
GAS many threshing maches will doubt
less be brought into Minnesota for the
years business, and as every one of cours e
wants the best, we wish to call the atten-
ton of those intending to purchase, to the
thresher made in Watertown, Wis. 1t has
certain peculiarities which are worthy of
investigation, among them the construc-
ton of the cylinder being perhaps the most
important The teeth run spirally around
it instead Of straight across, so that a
steady, even action is always secured. No
sschugging' can take place, as only Ger
one time.
There aresfve beaters, all hollow, three
Of them dpled together at the end of the
apron to take straw and deliver it to the
rake. The fan and sieyes are of large ca
pacity, and the universal testimony regard
ing them is, that they clean the grain as
thoroughly as it is possible for machine
to do. The cylinder sboxes are Of brass,
and the whole machine constructed in the
most workmanlike manner and evidently
made for wear
We took stroll through the works the
other day, from the foundry to the store
room, and saw enough to convince US that
the proprietor, Mr.. J. B. Bennett, is trying,
in quiet way, to give the public the worth
of their money in every machine sent out.
He is not one of the class who tblow for
living" but man of good, hard sense,
who has devoted the best years of his life
to the improvement of his machine. His
address is j. B. Bennett, WATERFOWL, Wis.

The following circular to Wisconsin edi-
tors explains itself: AT a meeting Of the
President, Secretary and Executive Com
njttee of the Wisconsin Editors and Pub
lishers' Association, ht Id in Milwaukee on
the Sd of May, 1876, it was decided to
pc st pone the twen tieth annual convention
until some time il September. During
last fall, the president had about compile, ed
arrangements for excursions to Chattanoo
ga on the Ist of May, or to Colorado in
June, blu. was compelled TO give them up.
en- ascertaining that large majority Of the
editors desired to go to Philadelphia during
the Centennial, and that many were going
whether the Association went or not. To
arrange for an excursion 10 Philadelphia,
nothing has been left done. An earnest
endeavor was made to secure reasonable
rates of transportation, but without sue
cess. 1t was found thas the roads leading
East had entere into an agreement, which
could not be broken They all offered to
do any thing in their power any other time,
but their arrangements were such that the
compact could not be broken Under the
rules adopted by the roads, it was estima-
ted that 5000 would be necessary to cover
the expense of each editor. The Iowa and
Illinois Editorial Associations also failed in
their endeavors to make satsfact DRY ar
engagements Under the circumstances, it
was deemed inexpedient TO hold the Con-
vention in June, as many could not attend,
so an adjournmens until Saptem Der was
resolved on.
