LIE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-Presi-
dent Arthur's message which was
given to Congress yesterday is contain
Gu III the papers of to-day. 1t deals
mainly with practical issues, embracing
Inc Department reports and needed
leglslations. The opening paragraphs
are devoted to our relations to other
countries.
Inc condition of the National Treas.
ury, as shown by the Secretarv,s re-
port is fully set forth, the surplus re-
venue question is discussed, and opin-
ions expressed strongly adverse either
to paying off the debt too rapidly bv
excessive taxation or to further read
justment of the tariff and revenue laws
until the full effect of the recent chan
ges becomes fully apparent. 1t is ur-
ged that steps be taken to prevent con-
traction of the currency, that the trade
dollar be taken up, and that various
customs districts be consolidated.
The President advises immediate and
radical improvement of sea-coast and
harbor defences, encouragement of the
militia, and the reconstruction of the
Navy. He recommends the reduction
OF local letter postage rates to
one cent per half ounce, disap-
proves of postal telegraphy, but ia
-vors Government supervision of inter-
State corporations. Headyises the aboli-
ton of the fee system in attorneys and
marshals' offices, the giving of Federal
aid to primary education, and the es-
tablishment of regular government in
in Alaska. AS to polygamy in Utah,
he would have it attacked with the
stoutest weapons constitutional legisla-
ton can fashion, beginning with the
abolition of the present territorial gov.
eminent and the placing of entire con.
troll of the Territory in the hands Of
Congress. The preservation of forests
and the Presidential succession are

the carpenters expect to complete their

Thanksgiving Discour.as

thanksgiving services were held in
the Episcopal and Methodist churches
Thursday, and the sermons of the pas-
tors were received with especial favor
by their respective CONGREGATIONS. In
speaking on National issues the Rev.
Mr.. Rigg said our country had a special
mission among the nations of the earth.
and he condemned in strong terms the
act OF our Government in closing the
doors against the Chinese. God he said
would vindicate truth and Justice at a
cost that we shall feel poorly qualified
to pay. He also dwelt with force ON
the prevalent corruption in politics and
looked upon compulsory education as
one OF the hopes of the country in puri-
lying and preserving the American
ballot. He wanted to see a law that
would forever disfranchise man who
would sell his vote, and, to see a law
that would put all children in school
until they master the rudiments of an
English education. He dwelt strongly
on the evils of the liquor traffic claim
ing 1t to be the worst outrage ever per-
petrated on decency and order.

those who are wickedly disposed from

with it. Ask them why all this dis.

old Hickory" Wagons.

The ''Old Hickory" Is manufactured al
Louisville, Kentucky, by the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company.
The quality of the cold Hickory is main
tanned at any cost
The ''Uld Hickory" is built for strength,
durability, ligh,ness, and is of graceful APP
pearance.
Thet' Old Hickory is as perfect as it is
possible for wagon TO be built.
The superiority of the "0ld Hickory" over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption Of that form or mod
ell that comprises the largest amount of strength
with the least superfuous weight
q Second--To The adoption of that shape,
size, aud adjustment of skeins, wheels and
gear, and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singetrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft.
Third-To the great advantages the manu-
tac,urers of.,he s'0ld Hickory" have over
other wagon makers in location, situated ms
they are in the centre of the finest timber re-
gion in the world. The company makes Sc
ectons from the white oak and black hickory
of Kentucky, which are justly celebrated.
Fourth-To the great advantage OF having
plenty os the best timber TO work on, only
thoroughly air-seasoned timber being used. -
No irresponsible convic, or peniten,iary labor
is employed, but intelligent, skilled mechanics
in every department. The cold Hickory" Is
made, only of one quality and that strictly A

or without bodies, for |, 2, 4 and horses. -

Eight Acres Cut in Five Hours. Binds
Solid Sheaves.

Mr.. r. L. Moons Yours of the 23d inst
per Mr.. Grimes, just received. ln regard TO
my experience with the Champion Binder,
can only say that ! was unfortunate in get
ting hold OF one that did not seem properly
adjusted, though we had good satisfaction
with it for one day, cutting eight acres in five
hours by the watch. 1t binds more solid
sheaf than any other binder have seen. The
bundle is round and compact, whereas all
other binders have seen make "a bundle hav-
ing cavity in one side which makes the bun
ale get looser alter being handled.
The machine is well made in every respect.
The material seems to be OF the best quality.
The raising and lowering OF the cutter bar is
all desire. The machine will cut and the
elevators deliver the worst lodged grain we
have had. We are looking forward to the COM
ing hsrvesl with great deal of satisfaction,
believing, as we do, that when the binder al
,achment is properly adjusted it will be the
hest machine, taking all things together, that
is vet made. Very truly,

duy ,.-,
TIE NEW OSBORNE is substantial,

THE NEW OSBORNE is automatcal
and controls its operations.
THE NEW OSBORNE is simplicity per-
soaifed, having Jewer parts than any other
binder, and consequently less liable to get
THE' NEW OSBORNE is an external
geaTed machine.
TIE NEW OSBORNE, on account of its
external gearing, is n very light dfG'' ma
chine
THE NEW OSBORNES knives pass
through three guards to the stroke, thus giving
| in comparison to other binders Mtrd more
power with third less speed.
THE NEW OSBORNE is so nicely bal
anced by the driver when seated that 1t can
be tilted without effort so as TO carry Inc
knives oger stones, or depresS them for picking
.,p lodged grain. 1t is wonderfully etectre
in down and tangled grain. 1t can pick up
and save grain that others can not touch.
THE NEW OSBORNE binder and but
ter boards are each adjustable.
TIE NEW OSBORNE has the centre
qearpd knife and bolted gudrds.
TIE NEW OSBORNE has the 60 inch
eleeation. We have found from actual expert
ence that the so inch elevation does not suit
the East and offer to our farmers q binder

THE ESTERLY
Light Draft, SelfBinding Harvester.

Having sold a number of these machines for
the harvest of 1882, and they having given
such entire satisfaction, surprising all other
makes with which they came in competition
during the harvest of 1882, in performing the
work for which they are designed and sold, !
was constrained to accept the general agency
for the States of Virginia, West Virginia,
Montgomery county, Md, District of Column
bia and the counties Of Sullivan, johnson,
Washington, Carter and Greene, in the State
of Tennessee, having secured the general
agency, and having believe the most simple,
and durable, and only perfectly reliable bind
err made, can offer inducements to farmers TO
purchase this machine in preference to all 9TH
ers. Having the general agency ] will carry
lull line of extras, which any farmer in this
locality can appreciate as a great advantage,
being so much nearer TO him in case he needs
repairs. The Esterly Binder is the only bind
er made which will go right along cutting and
binding every sheaf without any foolishness
or delays and time lost in running after ex-
perts TO fix them when out OF working order
! those who have used them know well the force
of this argument. An illustrated catalogue

for Agricultural and Building purposes.
During the busy Lime season of the
Spring it has heretofore been difficult for
Farmers to secure the Lime as they de-
sired it. We feel sure that our extern
sive works will remedy this, provided
the Farmers oiH send as IN their orders
during the neat thirty days, so that we
can put them on file, to be filled as they
may wish. This we guarantee to do,
viz: To fill all orders on notice OF 48
hours, if the engagements are made with
us now by the Farmers, as suggested.
Whilst the freight from Martinsburg
will be slightly more than from Fred

of Lime the same as from Frederick
