Tbe Association for the Exhibition of the Industry of all 

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

 ferson County, Virginia, the highest premium Bronze Medal, 

 with special approbation, for the combination he has effected, 

 and the practical a; plication he ha^ given the same, in his 

 Labor Saving Machine for Threshing, Separating, CI?aning 

 arid Bagging Grain. Hon. Theodore Sedgwick, President 

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

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

My Patent Premium Threshing, Separating, Cleansing 

 and Bagging Grain Machine, is fqr sale, which received 

 the first premium nf the Crystal Palace, New York, over 

 all Threshing Separating, Cleaning and Bagging Grain 

 Machines on exhibition, thus proving conclusively that sim- 

 plicity in construction, cheapness in price and durability in 

 my machine, 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 greyest labor saving Machine in the world 

 for separatir 6 Al pure and impurities. This Machine throws 

 the straw to itself, the chaff to itself, the wheat in the bag, 

 the screenings to itself, and the smut and cheat to itself. 

 Every thing has a place, and every thing is in its place to 

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

 bility, cheapness and capacity, it has nQ 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 atr -and other fairs. That I know nothingr 



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

 as the boy said when he ran by himself. But, my honora- 

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

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

 run with besides himsejf, 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 the 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 manufacture the Machines, will 

 aderess me at Chariestown, Jefferson County, Virginia.

THE CHINCH A ISLANDS. 



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

 ceed to these Islands to load Guano, we beg to submk 

 some particulars relative to the detention of ships and the 



expenses of Loading. 



All vessels may expect to lay out the full number of their 

 lay days before loading is completed. 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 ballast, 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 ail are obliged to caulk before leaving, 

 unless 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 disbursernents-r-the for- 

 mer passing at par, and the latter at 05 each. Captains of 

 vessels, short of funds, can obtain money of resident 

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

 sight bills, or draw upon their charters at 12 per cent, prer 

 mium. The following were the Port Charges and disburse- 

 ments for a ship of 700 tons :

There is another charge for hire of water casks (2 cents 

 per gallon) to carry water from Calao to the Islands, which 

 the charter says is to be delivered "free of expense." The 

 water has to be bought, and if the ship has no spare casks, 

 they have to be hired- There is alsq a chance of losing 

 $50 on the boats or lighters used in baljasting or loading, 

 yessels arriving purchasing of those leaving and when 

 loaded, but not always obfaing as much as they expended,
