Ketchnqn's Mowing Machine— Patented July 10, 1847.— 

 The undersigned, sole proprietor of the above machine in the 

 States (among others) of Ohio, Michigan. Indiana. Kentucky, 

 Tennessee, Virginia. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode 

 Island. &c, and of the counties of Dutchess, Columbia, Greene, 

 Washington, West Chester, Saratoga. Delaware, Albany, Rock- 

 land, Schcnectada, Richmond, Livingston, Oneida, Monroe, Rens- 

 selaer. Otsego. Wayne. Tompkins, Chemung, Broome, Steuben, 

 Hamilton. Montgomery. Putnam, Warren, Onondaga, Niagara, 

 Cattaraugus and Chautauque. in the State of New York, now 

 offers it to the public with the utmost confidence in its success. 



During the past season it has been perfected and thoroughly 

 tested. During each day of the late State Fair, at Buffalo, its 

 operation was witnossed by hundreds, and the perfect manner of 

 its cutting universally acknowledged. 



The subscriber has also purchased tho right of " Pease's Im- 

 provement on Reaping Machines," (patented Nov., 1848.) which 

 improvement consists in a platform attached to the machine (as 

 represented in the cut,) and from which the grain is raked off by 

 the driver of the teum. by means of a lever— thereby throwing off 

 the grain entirely out of the track of the machine in its next turn 

 round the field, rendering one man only necessary for its manage- 

 ment, and leaving the grain in the proper sized bunches ready for 

 binding. 



The attachment of this "rake off" (the expense of which is 

 $25 only.) enables the farmer to cut his hay and grain with the 

 same machine. 



Orders for the purchase of rights or for machines, directed to 

 the subscriber at Buffalo, N. Y., will meet with attention.

Scions of Choice Fruits. -Scions of all the leading varie- 

 ties of fruit can be furnished by the subscribers. Money enclosed

Albany Agricultural "Warehouse and Seed Store.— 



The subscriber being a sufferer by fire, in common with a large 

 portion of the citizens of Albany, (having lost his store and 

 stock on the 29th of October last.) has secured for a term of 

 years the new and extensive store. No. 309 Broadway, or old 

 Market-street, a few doors south of the Post Office. This store 

 being 145 feet deep and four stories high, is much larger than his 

 former one, running through from Broadway to the Canal Basin ; 

 and Broadway being the principal thoroughfare in the city 

 between the Boat Landings and the Depots, the location is 

 readily found. These advantages, with the increased facilities, 

 will enable him to transact many times the business heretofore 

 done by him, and more convenient for the trade generally. 



In connection with these changes, he is erecting an extensive 

 manufactory in the central part of the city, sufficiently large to 

 accommodate over one hundred mechanics, and a proportionate 

 amount of labor-saving machinery, which will enable him at all 

 times hereafter to execute orders with despatch. A continuance 

 of the very liberal patronage heretofore bestowed upon his 

 establishment is solicited. II. L. EMERY.
