J. Patterson & Co.'s Fanning Mill. 



A CoRBECTios. — There was on error in ihe report 

 on implements published in our lost, which we wish 

 to correct. In mentioning the superior Fanning Mill 

 mode by J. Patterson & Co., it reads " of Chili ;" it 

 should read, of East Rush, Monroe county." 



BCHARD GRASS SEED.— Juet re- 

 ceived from Pennsylvania, tor sole at the Seed 



BATEHAM & CROSMAN. 



[I3IPROVED liEICESTERSHIRE BUCK. 



OWNED BT THOMAS VVEDDIX, ESQ. 



ThiB is one of Mr. Weddle's last importation. He carries a large fleece, having sheared 14 lbs.; the 

 quality of which is very fine for such description of long wool. , ,, c ■ ^ 



Another Buck, imported at the some time, sheared 16 lbs. of wool, and is o remarkably fine animal. 



PIEDMOjVTESE SIIiK KEEIi. 



We have been requested to give a drawing of a Silk Reel. The above cut represents a Picdmontcse 

 Reel which, with slight modifications, is most generally used and approved in the country. It is simple in 

 its conslruclion, and can be mode by any good mechanic who has seen one to copy Irom 



The frame is 64 feet long, made of 3 by ,5 inch stuff; the connecting bars 20 inches long in the clear.— 

 The 1pp9 are 2 feet 3 inches long — the upright posts 2 feet long. 



A movable br extends acmsa .he n'ocbine, and passes through the top of the two posts near the fun,ace 

 ThisTs made o elide back and forth by a shaft with cogs on each end, one of which .s acted upon by a bearer 

 fixed on the shaft nf the reel, and the other end acts upon a burr moving on the top of the urned POB'/" J^""'' 

 "nd bavin" a small crank attached. This gives a vibratory or zigzag movement to the slide, and places the 

 Jhreads across each other. The cost of these reels is about $10, in Philadelphia and other places. 



The principal objection to thia reel is, that two persons are necessary to attend it. Sevorpl attempts hove 

 been made to construct them so that one person is sufficient, and with fair success; but these have not yet 



come into general use. ^ ^^

Uem.irks.— The wentlier, during the past month, hus be»| 

 unusually mll.l f.ir the season, and navigation did not clol 

 lill the end. The millers genor.ally ceaseil shipping flori 

 ;dioulthe aOth. since which time very little h.-is been donei 

 the w heat market, and the price has declined a trifle. 



Pork is very plenty and line, and the price low. Butti i 

 and F.ggs are on the adv.-incc. Poultry will he in great ai 

 inand soon— Thanksgiving, Christmafl. and New-^ ear 

 days come in r.apid BUccps.«ion this year, and will be a cav , 

 tio'n to/<i( TVirAifs and Cliickcnt. Thantsgiving is appo.n 

 cd for Thursday, the 17th inst. ; and certainly there nei. 

 was more reason for liearlfelt gratitude low.irds the Ilispc: 

 -•cr;of all good, than at present. The earth has brousht fori 

 her increase in the most bountiful manner; while healli 

 peace, and prosperity, have blessed our w hole land. 



The New York and other commercial papers, .^peak in u 

 most encouraging terms of the prospects of Ibe money m» 

 liet, and the revival of business generally. Conhdence l" i 

 'lecomelna great measure restored, and a better slate' 

 trade will inevitably follow. The abundant crops of it 

 Aill nearly pay off our foreign debts; and so eHettuai 

 heck has been given to e.^travagant importations, tn 

 imilar cnibaraesmcnls arc not likely to occur again vci 

 ■loort.
