Inoticed that you have added another
iouadry to your town. and made great i'm
provcments to many ofyour old tenements
| since last summer and was much gratified
! to learn that my friend DR.. Campbell as
also Jno. W. Martin and VIM Magruder,
| Esq had under construction quite hand
some residences that would be finished
early III the spring.
am pleased to notice shs facilities your
town now offers to farmers through the
enterprise of some of your go-ahead young
| men. in recently putting up the woo d.
stock Lime Kilns," this is Il move in the
right direction, more lime and Glove and
less commercial fertilizer.

ergy of my old friend OFT in the manutac-
tur of the best buck skin glove and saunt-
let made IN the United States, the new
store in addition to the seven already in
full blast, together with other evidences OF
business lite, impressed me that Woodstock
was tar from being Il finished toaD,l.
Asa young husband blushingly presents
his bride to friend. feeling conscious and
proud of her beauty and worth, so my

OF brackets that certainly would compare
favorably in desianand finish with any city
work ever say, also sash and blinds that
so far as chearness, workmanship and ma

Agricultural IMPLEMENT department. my
attention was called to the justly celebra-
ted "McGinnis Harrow" to see and under
stand many advantages of this over the
Thomas smoothing, and III fact all other
harrows have ever seen, H. but to deter
mine it is impossible to DO without 1t.
would advise every farmer in the valley 10
see or get circular describing it before he
thinks of using those he has or purchasing
others. Cornell's patent corn sheller, man
ufaetared by them is far ahead of any 9TH
err shelter I've seen, durable, simple and
doing its work with a celebrity and thor

at any State fair. Their price places them

over two hundred bushels nf CORE to she H.

shelter. Their cultivator is a little gem in

any distance apart, the shovels are revers-
ibie each one can be used twice and costs
mere trife when replacement becomes
necessary, with one of these the work of
two double shovel ploughs can be done
and done better than with an ordinary
shovel plough. The ploughs manufactured
here are of the very best pattern and quail

this plough is very decided improvement
on the Het kendorn, 1t has wrought iron
point laid with steel, also can be used with
ordinary cast point. the share is reversible
which is very great improvement and
saving. We saw partly flushed the cas-
tings for saw mill, and must say, We new
er saw finer workmanship put up in Pitts
burg or elsewhere. The pattern for
huge Pitt Lathe were shown us, when
completed it viii be the largest in the val
ley. This lathe requires the outlay OF about
$3.50 but the firm seem deteimin-
ed not to be behind any establishment in
the State or elsewhere so far as the con-
, struction of first class work Is concerned
Their cutting boxes are far superior and
much cheaper than those we have been

valuable acquisition to farm implements can
not be too highly praised and is too well

they reflect much credit upon Messrs.
