We are not in a situation from authentic sources to 

 complete our list. 'I'he PawrucUel, R I . New Haven, 

 Conn., Ktjene, N. H. Societies all hold their anniversa- 

 ry shows the ensuing; ihontli. Our only re^jret is, that. 

 the coincidence of several of the appnintnients prevents 

 our attendjince at all within the State, and our aceep- 

 tance of invitations with which we have been honored 

 from other States. 



The Ainericnn Institute opens its magnificent display 

 of m:inufiictures and improverTients in tiie mechiinic arts 

 the first week in October ; and it will he cnniinued to 

 the middle oi'the month A plougiiin^ match or trial of 

 ploughs, and a show and sale of improved Short Horn 

 cattle and sheep will lake place at the same time, under 

 the auspices of the jjublic-spirited managers. 



It is deliffhlful to contemplate these a[>pointments, 

 whose object and effect must bo good and good only- It 

 will bp particularly refreshing in this seaaon of universal 

 gatlicrings, to get rid at least ft.r one or two days, ofthe 

 shouts of parly fervor and the banners of political tri- 

 umph; and to riot in the unstinted bounties of Divine 

 Providence, without a single feeling but that of univer- 

 sal good will, nfeinuhition in which no malignity can 

 mingle ; and of relii;ious gratitude that our lines are cast 

 in a spot th^n whirh the sun sheds its rays upon none 

 more laTotod or hajtpier. H. C. 



X?Want of spacK compels us to omit notices of the

i.iiPHOv^ED v£:ge:tablr steamer. 



WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT. 



CORRECTED WITH GREAT CARE, WEEKLY. 



Just received at the N. K. Agricultural Warehouse and 

 Seed Store, Dr Warren's Patent Cylmder Vegetable Steamer, 

 for steaming- all kinds of ve^etablos for Swine, Cattle, fyc. in 

 lar^e or small quantities. It can likewise he used for iamily 

 purp(^es 



A, the pipe for filling the boiler with water. 



B, safely valve for letting otTextra steam, in case the pres- 

 sure shoual tjct too high. 



C, steam pipe passlni; from boiler to cask 



D, pipe 1(1 supply the boiler with water from a cask or box 

 which is to be placed in such manner as to keep the boiler a 

 bout two thirds full of water at all times, which answers as 

 a complete self-regulator for supplying the boiler with water. 



The above cut is not a true representation of the boiler, as 

 it appears at least one half larger than it really is, in propor- 

 tion to the cask. The boiler is merely a small size cylinder 

 stove, with the fire inside, and surrounded by a sheet of wa- 

 ter from which passes a steam pipe to the barrel or box, the 

 cask or box can be removed so as to discharge the vegeta- 

 bles without any alteration ofthe boiler nr steam pipe. 



The steamer can he removed from place to place without 

 any difficulty. Wood or coal can be used, and a few cents 

 worth of either will steam a large quantity of vegetables. A 

 nnmber of them have been in operation, and found to give 

 universal satisfaction. 



Farmers and others are invited tn call at our Warehouse 

 and examine the article, which they will find to be a very 

 neat and chea|) apparatus for the purpose. Price Sl2. and 

 with handles $13. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
