.Kewhj Invented Threshing Jl/ar/nne.— Mr. Josiah 

 Jaquith, of Brunswick, Maine, has invented a ThrtsK- 

 ing Machine which is thought by good judges to be in 

 some respects superior to any hitherto submitted to the 

 public. The grain, with tiii^ machine, is threshed bv 

 a number of /«//.!, which are put in motion by turning 

 a crauk, to which may be aj plied horse power, orihe 

 power of wiiid or water, or It may be turned liy hand, 

 as found most convciient. Among its adv;M)la''es niav 

 be numbered that of its separating the grain from the 

 -straw J'tri/ /!f)/cc//y, and preserving the straw entire. 

 It can likewi.se be afforded much cheaper than ma- 

 chines heretofore used for a similar purpose. 1 his ma- 

 chine may be seen, and its operations inspected at the 

 Agricultural Warehouse of Mr. J. R. Newell, No. 20, 

 Merchants" Row, Boston. Earmers and others who feel 

 an interest in the success of Agriculture, are invited to 

 call and examine this implement, which we are confi- 

 dent will realize their most' sanguine expectations. 



Mr. John Dicknall, of Ruckfield, Maine^has invent- 

 ed a Grist Mill, adapted to hand or horse power ; by 

 which all kinds of grain may be ground by families at 

 home, in such a manner, and at such times as may 

 suit their own convenience. It is calculated to grind, 

 sift or bolt, if desired, at one operation.
