. A VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-Mr ID. A.
Picker, of Mt. Crawford, has shown us the
model of an invention that he has had re-
Gently patented that has real merit in it,and
must become an indispensable adjunct to
every well regulated farm. 1t is harrow
with whicl, is combined clod cutter, corn
cultivator and hay rake, the whole OF which
can be manufactured at from S. to $40. The
implement is very simple in construction,
easy to operate, and great labor saver
The last time the corn ground is narrowed
with il, point is placed in position, Which
marks the ground one way, and then turn
the harrow, it cross marks it for planting
When the corn is ready for cultivation, the
same harrow is converted into cultivator,
and enables one hand to cultivate fifty or
sixty acres, where before he would have
cultivated twenty acres the ordinary way.
Il is arranged so as to run from four to seven
inches in depth as the farmer may wish. 1t
contains clod cutter which is set in front
of the harrow teeth and breaks the clods
with the same movement that the ground is
narrowed. The teeth can be set perpendic-
ular or inclined. In short it is the most
useful invention we have ever seen, and
will eventually become generally in use.
Mr.. Picker has skipped about a good deal
in his life, and been simultaneously engaged,
but we do not think he has ever, in all of his
pursuits, accomplished as much general
good for his fellow men and himself as in
this important invention.

THE JoNADAB ENDOWMENT AssoCIA-
TIoN.-An endowment association of the
Sons of Jonadab was incorporated in Wash
ington last week. Among the incorporates
was Mr.. John S. Lipscomb of this city. This
feature in connection with the Jonadabs is
new, and bids fair to be a very popular one.
It affords means of cheap and ''sure' life
insurance TO strictly temperance men and
recommends itself particularly to men of
that character in moderate circumstances.

the approich of the day when all nations
shall worship one God, cease all strife and
be gathered under the banner OF BROTH

old Hebrew tradition that the destiny OF
each human being for the next year is
written down in the Book OF Life on New
Year and sealed on the day of atonement.

1t is not our custom to cite illustrations ofthe benefit of advertising which in the very nature o the case must innlire to the advnage of par es whose names we are c9mpello Ito mention,
 but the cas of Dr. Kennedy, of tiIis place. is so remarkable of the kind that for once we make an exception of him. After mnch careful JeX- perinenting the Doctor became convinced that
 he had found--or rather edueed from clements previously Known, but never so compounded medicine capable in itself of doing animnense amount of good to his suffering fellow men. He WAS morally certain that the great and in
 telligent public would he altogether of his way of lhnking touching the virtues of his discovery if he could only get it before them. Like a sensible man he began to invest a portion of his capital in newspaper advertisements. He had not long to wait for the visible and sensible effect of his course Orders began to drop in one by one, and then steady ~bombardment of them opend upon this enterprising physician and surgeon. The Favorite Remedy soon be- came as we'll known as Dickens Pickwick Papers or Webster's Dictionary. Whenpeople felt themselves in suffering and distress from Liver and Kidney diseases, Constipation of the Bowels or any of those complaints peculiar to Females subtle in character and so difficult for treatment blythe ordinary modes, they bought the Favorite Remedy, used it and were healed. Now, we don't know that we are un- der any special obligation to Dr.. Kennedy, but in order to draw the moral to enforce which this article was written, we are obliged to give him the benefit of this implied advertisement. And the moral is this: When you have some thing to sell which is worth public attention do ssDr Kennedy did with the Favoute Remedy - advertise it. A great patronage has awarded, and the same wisdom will secure the same re- suit for you. Sold by Vessels & Gates, Lltchfeld. e@ 42-4w. !
