EXCELSIOR. 

 The Association for the Exhibition of the Industry of all 

 Nations awards to Elisha S. Snyder of Charlestown, Jef- 

 ferson Co&nty, Virginia, the highestpremtum Bronze Medal, 

 with special approbation, for the combination he has effected, 

 <and the practical application he has given the same, in his 

 Labor Saving Machine for Threshing, Separating, Cleaning 

 and Bagging Grain. Hon. Theodore Sedgwick, President 

 •of the Association; Hon. Henry Wager, Western New York, 

 Chairman; Watson Newbold, Esq. Columbus, New Jersey;

My intent Premium Threshing,. Separating, Cleansing 

 and Bagging Grain Machine, is for sale, which received 

 the feet jpremium at the Crystal Palace, New York, over 

 all Threshing Separating, Claaning and Bagging Grain 

 Machines on, exhibition, thus proving conclusively that sim- 

 plicity vx construction, cheapness in price and durability in 

 my rnachine 3l is being fully appreciated, and the , old and 

 new costly inferior complicated! Separating Machines, must 

 yield, their places to a superior Labor Saving Machine. 

 The celebrated Machine for Threshing, Separating, Clean- 

 ing twice, Screening and Bagging Grain by one simple 

 Operation. The greatest labor, saving Machine in. the world 

 for separating all pure and irap'4rUies. This Machji' he throws 

 the straw to .itself, the chaff, to itself, the whea,t fa the bag, 

 the screenings to itself, and th;e smut and cheat to itself 

 Eyery thing has a place, and eVery thing is in its place tp 

 suit the conveniences of the farmer. For simplicity, dura- 

 bility, cheapness and capacity, it. has no equal in the world. 

 As for what has been stated in the different papers concern- 

 ing Mr. Zimmerman's Machine receiving the first premium 

 at the Crystal Palace, New York, is false, and not true, ... It 

 is also stated that Mr. Zimmerman received a number of 



premiums at ; and other fairs. That I knew nothing 



•about ; perhaps he did ; but it is very easy to win the race, 

 a.« the boy saifi when he ran by himself. But, my honora- 

 ble friends, this was not the case at the World's . Pair, New 

 York, Mr. Zimmerman had a number of other boys to 

 run with besides himself, which made the race more diffi- 

 cult for him; so much so, that he, Mr. Zimmerman, was 

 neither first nor secondly ; so you may judge where he was. 



There are facts that cannot be denied. The undersigned 

 would inform th.e public that his Farmers' Labor. Saving 

 Machine for Threshing, Separating, Cleaning, . Screening 

 and Bagging all kinds of Grain, is for sale. Farmers wish- 

 ing to bny the best Machine in use, will address Joseph 

 Glaze, Frederick City, Maryland. Those wishing to pur- 

 chase the Patent Right, to riianufacture the Machines, will 

 aderess me at Charlestown, Jefferson County, Virginia. .

THE CHINCHA JSL.ANDS. 



AS many ships to our address are under charter to pro- 

 ceed to these islands to Ipad Guano, we beg to. sub ink 

 some particulars relative to the detention of ships and the 

 expenses of -Loading.. ,. \ 



All vessels ;n»ay expect to lay out the full number of their 

 lay days before loading; is 6ompleted. A bonus of $10 to 

 $15 per day, for every day saved, is sometimes paid as a 

 gratification to officials. Most ships are kept a month after 

 arrival, before an order is given to bajlast, after which it is 

 decided .whether they are to load by lighter or by "Mangu- 

 era„" or shoot, by which the Guano is run into the hold. 



The "Manguera" discharges from . 400 to 500 tons per 

 day. . All ships dry up very much, from being exposed to a 

 hot sun, and nearly all are obliged to caulk before leaving, 

 unlessi they have been very recently caulked. Vessels 

 should , be provided with oakum and pitch, and English 

 Caulkers can be obtained at $4 per day and board. Ame- 

 rican coin or Sovereigns are best for disbursements— the for-, 

 mer passing at par, and the latter at $5 each. Captains of 

 vessels, short of funds, can obtain money of resident 

 Houses, if well accredited, at 6 per cent, premium upon 

 sight bills,vpr draw upon their charters at 12 per cent, pre- 

 mium. The following were the Port Charges and disburse-

 they have to be hired. There is also a chance of losjnjf
