AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
GOLD and SILVER. 
Nos. I to 16.—Genuine Cold and Sil¬ 
ver.— Beautiful Presents.— The old establishment 
of Benedict Brothers, 171 Broadway, N. Y., has long 
been most favorably known as trustworthy dealers, 
not only in Watches ( “ Benedict’s Time ” has become a 
household word throughout the country), but also in a 
large variety of Diamonds and genuine Gold and Silver 
articles (they deal in no others), from the smallest Gold 
King to the most costly Jewelry of all descriptions. In 
order to meet the wishes of those of our subscribers who 
may desire to get some genuine solid Gold and Silver 
articles, of guaranteed quality , for their own use, or for 
holiday, or wedding, or other presents, we have selected 
those named below for our premium list. They will be 
furnished to us by Messrs. Benedict Brothers, which is 
to us, and will be to our readers, ample guarantee as to 
their quality. The prices named are the lowest at which 
they can be supplied, with very small profit, by any 
dealer. The Gold articles will be not less than 14 carats 
fine (no Jewelry, to wear well, is made finer than 14 
carats), and the Silver of Sterling standard (8 per cent. 
better than coin). The articles named are of late and 
beautiful patterns, selected from a great variety, as the 
most likely to give pleasure to the recipients: See No. 9.

No. I 7.-The Perfected Type-Writer, 
is well so called. One sits upright before a key-board, 
each key having a letter of the alphabet, or figure, or 
punctuation mark, and by simply touching the desired 
letters with the fingers, the writing is done in regular, 
plain printing, clear and distinct, and with great rapidity 
— on two or more sheets, if copies are desired for pres¬ 
ervation. The paper moves along automatically with 
every letter touched. It is useful for all kinds of writing, 
letters, etc., etc. Every one should send to Fairbanks & 
Co., 311 Broadway, New York, for a full description. We 
offer the No. 1 Type-Writer, price $100, complete, on 
table, etc., to any one sending us 95 subscriptions to the 
American Agriadturist, at $1.50 each, or we will supply 
one at the price named. Freight to be paid by recipient. 
Two other styles of Type-Writers are made, as will 
be seen described in the circulars obtained from Fair¬ 
banks & Co. We will present either of the other Type- 
Writers, for a proportionate number of subscribers. 
This instrument offers a far more promising means of 
obtaining a livelihood by a lady, than a piano, or any 
other implement. Most of the letters of this office are 
now written on this machine. An experienced writer 
will print off a letter about as fast as it can he dictated 
to him, and its rapid use is learned in a hundredth part 
of the time required to play the piano passably well. 
Many Young Ladies ought to secure this premium 
for use, by raising a club of 95 subscribers, which 
will not be difficult. Some ladies have each secured 
that many subscribers for us in a very few days.
