$8 : No. 3, 70 lbs., $10; No. 4, 80 lbs., $10 50 ; No. 5-, 90 lbs., $11;

We give a few of the premiums awarded this superior plow, 
iz : by the American Institute, at their plowing-match at New- 
rk, N. J., in 1840, the 1st premium—a silver cup. Also, by the 
lame Institute, at their Annual Plowing-match for 1841, at Sing 
'ung, N. Y., a gold medal, for the best work done, lightest draught, 
nd best principle of construction, answering for “ general pur¬ 
poses;” The 1st premium of the American Institute for 1842, and 
he 1st at Philadelphia the same year, and all the premiums in 
Tompkins county, as well as that of the New York State Agricul¬ 
tural Society, which awarded it an honorary premium of $30, and 
equal to the 1st at their Annual Plowing-match at Syracuse, for 1841. 
The following are its advantages over the common plow, viz: 
1st, Ease of draught. 2d. Perfection of work. 3d. Strength and 
durability. 4th. All dead furrows may be prevented, as the fur¬ 
rows can all be turned one way. 5th. Any width of furrow may 
be turned, between 8 to 18 inches, by moving the catches in the 
cross-piece, toward the handles for a wide furrow, and tow¬ 
ard the centre for a narrow one. 6th. Placing the beam in the 
centre of the cross-piece makes it a “ double mold-board plow," 
turning a furrow both ways at the same time ; answering for 
green-ridging, plowing between corn or potatoes, or any crop culti¬ 
vated in rows or drills, and for digging potatoes. 
Orders for the purchase of Patent Rights, either by States or 
Counties, will receive immediate attention, and patterns of the 
various sizes furnished. Also, orders from Farmers, or others, for 
Plows, will be forwarded according to direction, to any place named, 
while the patent shall belong to me, if the money, or satisfactory 
references, are forwarded.

ican Agriculturist, page 370.

WHEAT-SHEAF FARM ON STATEN 
ISLAND FOR SALE. 
A recent domestic bereavement has induced the undersigned to 
offer his residence on Staten Island for sale. It is situated mid¬ 
way of the outer bay, on the sea-shore, eight miles from the Quar¬ 
antine ferry, three from that of Rossville, and equi-distant from 
two others—-Seguin’s landing, and Port Richmond. 
The condition of the Farm, the extent, value, and practical use¬ 
fulness of the improvements, and its peculiar advantages, are suffi¬ 
ciently known. It has been improved in a way to render it sus¬ 
ceptible of six farming divisions of thirty acres and upward each, 
including an appropriate allotment of woodland; each division 
offering a moderately elevated building location. The condition 
of the soil is well known to be in the best working order. 
Terms to suit the purchaser, as the object is merely to change 
the investment for another susceptible of equal product.

COMMERCIAL GARDEN AND NURSERY* 
The proprietors of this establishment have constantly on hand an 
extensive assortment, comprising every desirable variety of Fruit

for street, planting. 10,000 Norway Spruce of small size can be

seleGt the best.vaiieties of thoroughly tested fruits from the most 
correct sources, and it is the determination of the Proprietors to 
cultivate only those kinds which ample experience has proved to 
be of superior excellence, and to succeed well in this country. They 
are also particularly careful to take no innoculations of grafts from 
trees whose variety has not been ascertained aud accurately tested 
by the fruit itself—the only mode in their opinion, of ensuring per¬ 
fect correctness. The varieties of fruit being tints kept entirely 
distinct, the Proprietors feel no hesitation in warranting the identity 
of the kinds, and they are persuaded that those who purchase can 
not but be satisfied with the duality,-both of the trees and of the 
fruit.

above places.
