1t is impossible for us, in this brief notice, to
speak OF all the points of utility and excellence
embraced in these machines, and must content
ourselves with mere mention of few of them,

by men of long experience. The cylinder cap is
so constructed that the cylinder will not throw
dust into the face Of the feeder. The grain-car-

good iron, the Journals turned, polished and
fitted in the boxes perfectly. The boxes are lined
with Babbit meta and fitted with oil cups and
caps to keep out the dust The pulleys are made

A New WAY TO Day Peaches
DR.. Jos. Treat, Of Yineland, N j., gave
last season the following, and, as he says,
new directions for pairing peaches for
drying:


Never pare peaches to dry. Let
them get mellow enough to be in good
eating condition, put them in boiling
water for moment or two, and the
skins will come off like charm. Let
them be in the water long enough, but
no longer. The gain is at least six
fold-saving Of time ip removing the
skin, great saving Of the peach, part of
the peach saved, the best part, less
time to stone the peaches, less time
to dry them, and better when dried. A
whole bushel can be done in boiler at
once, and then the water turned off,

The resolutions adopted by the Demo-
cratic Convention that met at Greeneville,
on Monday last will attract the attention
of the readers of the Wing and Regis
ter, and, indeed, the attention of the
whole country, North and South. At
time like the present, when the struggle
for the control of the Federal and State
Governments, between the two great par
ties of the country, is about to culminate,
it is profitable to recur to sound sentiments
and wise suggestions, such as these resolu-
tions embody. The public will perceive
in them the spirit of the moral and polit-
ical hero who, though standing quite
alone In the midst of one of the fiercest
storms that ever beat upon public man,
protected the constitution as far as one
solitary but mighty arm could do it. They
repeat the sentiments of Andrew john
son, so gloriously enunciated in his mes
sages, when it was almost perilous for q
President to differ with legislature that
assumed the responsibility of governing
the country. They are no less applicable
to the condition of affairs, no less true,
than when they came from the beleaguered
White House at Washington. ,4 --.-..


Perhaps events since his retirement

The Union is to exist so long as the

Arrival of the Steamer-A Perilous


Voyage.


BosToN, Sept. 9.-The little bark the
City of Ragouse, which left Liverpool
June 2, with two men and dog, arrived
here safely last evening, having occupied
just ninety nine days in the passage. The
voyage was very perlous and rough, and
the boat leaked badly during the greater
portion of the voyage. The men enjoyed
good health, but were much exhausted
from the severe labor and want of sleep.


The dog died in the middle of August
of gcurvy. For over a month the voyag-
ers were obliged to live on raw meat, in
consequence of the fire being constantly
quenched by the heavy sea. This is the

virtue, and in spi'e of the terrible ordeals
