Dear Sir.-This will certify that I
witnessed for one whole day, on the 4th
inst, the operation of the Agitator
Thresher of the Case manufacture, sold
by John w. Lowell to Bishop Barton
and others at KsysVille. AS I have built
Sepsrators and run them in this country,
l ought 10 be competent to Judge of
their merits. The Case Agitator threshes
fast and is very easy on the horses. 1t
cleans grain we'll and absolutely
WASTES NO GRAIN. I saw it work
for hours in wet Barley and wet and
weedy Oats, and it did its work veU, and
threshed nearly 100 bushels an hour. The
only trouble saw with it was, that one
man with a patent taller, could not
measure the gT0sn as fast as the AoIto-
tor threShed 1t, as all who were present
will testify. l recommend the Case
Agltator as the best thresher I have ever
seen. GEORGE CLAwsoN.

John ". Lowell:
Dear STr.-In reply to your inquiry
we will state that we are running the
Agitator Thresher, sold by you to Bishop
Barton and others. 1t is doing most ex-
cellent work, very easy to feed, capacity
very large, have tried it in very weedy
and damp grain, both wheat and oats,
and never saw machine with easier
draft on the horses, or run SO smoothly
and do as good work. Many have been
to see it run and have expressed the same
opinion. No chance for any grain to be
carried off with the straw; the Elevator
works like a charm-neVer saw any to
equal it. We are satisfied it excels any
machine we ever saw, and we feel ex-
ceedingly well pleased with it.

MAKING WATCHES.

Defective Watch Gases are one ofthe
cAiei causes Of SO many watches not
being good time pieces. The cases be-
ing thin and not fitting we'll, admit
dust and dirt to the movement, which
soon interferes with the running parts
ofthe watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &c, and the amount thus paid
out if applied toward buying a good
case in the beginning, would have
saved all this trouble and expense. We
have recently seen case that meets
these requirements, it having been
carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS.
BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, which has become one of the
staple articles of the Jewellery trade,
possessing rs 1t does so many advanta-
ges over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates ofsolid gold
over plate of composition, and we
advise all our readers to ask their
Jeweler for a card or catalogue that
will explain the manner in which they
are made.
II is the only Stifened Case made
with two plates of gold, seamless PEN
dants and center, solid joints crown
pieces, &c, all of which are covered by
letters patent. Therefore buy no case
before consulting Jeweler who keeps
the JAS. BOSS Patent Stitfened Gold
Case, that you may learn tho difference
between il and all limitations that claim
to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers.
Ask to see the warrant that accom- pa
MES each case, and don't be persuaded
that any other make OF case is as good.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight In the back, lOins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
ent as fiatulency, uneasiness OF the
stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm ia bed,
is a very common attendant. In
ternal, External and Itching Piles

acts directly upon the parts effect

It must not be forgotten that vege-
tation takes great deal of nourish-
ment from the air, and that they must not
be stuffed as animals for fattening. The
purchase of rare and new plants was coun-
selled against unless furnished by some re-
liable person. In answer to questions he
said thorough washing or sponging Of the
foliage will prevent the insects becoming
troublesome in the winter. Tobacco smoke
will kill the insects, but care must be taken
not to have it too strong, as it will also kill
the foliage. If tobacco is not used strong
yellow snuff busted on is effective, and cay
enne pepper is good, but should be washed
off few hours after, and in cases Of fumi-
cation in the morning the plants should be
given good drenching in the evening. The
red spider, which appears to casual obser-
vers like fine dust, must be sponged off in
the houses, and proper attention at the be-
ginning will prevent serious trouble. The
thing eau be destroyed by tobacco smoke,
tobacco water or soap suds, care being ta-
ken not to get the water strong enough to
kill the foliage. The mealy bug he believes,
should be treated with kerosene and soap
suds mixed, and applied with swab to the
insect, and not to the plant The best time
to shower plants, in conservatory is when
you first close it in the afternoon, as it Gre
ates moist atmosphere, which is excellent
Fumigation, while the plant is growing
should be done early in the morning or al

Sympathy for Children.
from the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
One of the most important things for
young mother to keep in mind is that her
children have great need of her active SYM
pathy, not only in their griefs but in all that
interests them. Ii woman has plenty of
time at her disposal, and is not hurried with
work, she will naturally give much thought
to her children and to their education, but
if perplexed by the absorbing cares of a
household, where economy of time and
money are both required, she must exercise
great self-control in order to get
along happily with the never ceasing
Interruptions she is sure to have. It is not
easy to stop in the midst of bread making
drinks of water to look for mittens, to admire
the gift brought to her of dandelion, or a
pebble with something that looks like gold
in it, or to accede to the timid request or the
bold demand for story. Then what rare
sympathy with childhood is needed to re-
strain her from too frequently giving utter
ances to that terrible injunction to keep
perfectly STILL" If there is anything which
a healthy, happy child cannot do it is that;
they must and will move little, if it is only
,, the toes in their shoes. believe that moth
ing helps a child SO rapidly toward the
knowledge and practice Of deceit as de-
manding, without regard to their physical
condition, that they shall be quiet. I have
seen an honest, obedient little fellow try it
about as successfully as pet terrier can
play "dead dog" it seemed quite as much
of trick for the boy. How often their
legitimate curiosity is checked by $50 away,
now; I'm too busy" or, "you must not say
another word, Mother is nervous to-day?''
Remarks like these, too often prompted by
self-indulgence, are common, and no one
but loving little child could overlook the
lack of sympathy SO often shown at home.
By and by the mother is surprised and
panied to find that her children seek init
mate friends outside their own home, never
thinking that she has forced them to do SO.
The wisdom needed is motherhood, the
great issues which wait upon the proper
fultillment of it's duties, are subjects up
on which we cannot dwell to much.

Metternich on Napoleon.
From the New Volume of Memoirs.

FROM lQe new fOlume OF MEMOIRS.
All may be said in two words: NAPOLEON
was very small man of imposing character.
He was ignorant, as a sub lieutenant gener-
ally is; remarkable instinct supplied the
place Of knowledge. From its mean opin-
ion of men he never had any anxiety lest
he should go wrong. He ventured every
thing and gained thereby an immense step
toward success. Throwing himself upon
a prodigious arena he amazed the world and
made himself master of it, while others can
not even get so far as being masters Of their
own hearth. Then he went on and on, I'M
til he broke his neck. He ended as he
must have ended, and was judged as all
those are judged who find means to subdu
the common herd. Asa legitimate ruler Q,
small state he would never have been
heard Of, except as an arbitrary monarch.
as military commander in any country
whatever, as an administrator wherever the
storm of revolution ragged, lie would always
have come out strongly. In the situation
in which he was he must have played the
part he did play and which no man of bet
ter principles could have ventured to UNDER
take.
