"It 19 KE3IARKABLY CLEAR AND FREE FROM DISAGREE- 
ABLE odor, and burns with a brilliant flame, witoout 
offensive smell. A lamp filled with the Oil, and allowed 
to burn entirely out, does not encrust the wick.

The plan adopted for securing the public against adul-

EMPIRE «RI]V»ER. 
Patented January 19th, 1869. 
MIlVTOiV POWKS, Inventor. 
This invention relates to a new Machine for Sharpening 
the Cutter-bars of Mowing and Reaping Machines. It con- 
sists in the arrangement of machinery Tor imparting com- 
bined rotary and reciprocating motion to a Grindstone, 
mounted on a shaft, the edge of which is beveled, so that it 
will grind tlie two converging edges of two contiguous 
teeth at once. 
It is so easily operated that a boy twelve years old can 
sharpen a knife in a few minutes. 
It only requires the use of one hand to operate it, as the 
cutter-bar remains stationary while the machine is in motion. 
It is so arranged that the crank Burns behind the cutter- 
bar, thereby being perfectly safe in its use. It has been ex- 
amined and thoroughly tested bv scientific men, and pro- 
nounced unequalled. Farmers are delighted with it. 
Every person using mowing machines should have one.
