The above cut represents a Portable Engine of entirely new 
pattern, built by A. N. WOOD & CO., which, is acknowledged 
ny all to be the most compact and durable of anything yet de¬ 
vised for an Engine. A gentleman in La. writes us that he re¬ 
ceived his 12-hwrse power, and although it was entirely discon¬ 
nected from the boiler, the machine being so simple and well 
fitted, he, without the assistance of an engineer, put it togeth¬ 
er. changed the eccentric and reversed the motion. Persons 
interested in steam power, by enclosing stamp, will receive 
our Circular, giving list, price, description, eic.

PRICE PER BOX 
Mr. B. T. BABBITT, tlie well known foa-s

new and useful article of

0 A F 
put up in boxes of 00 pounds eaoli, in -oac-pcmnd bare, price 
¥5 per box. This Soap is rapidly taking the place of all other 
Soaps wherever introduced. One pound will go as far as 
three pounds of ordinary family Soap.. It will wash in .either 
•hard or salt water; it does not injure the fabric—on the con¬ 
trary, it preserves it, and fixes the colors. It will remove 
paint, grease, or stains of all kinds. But little labor is re¬ 
quired where this Soap is used. Directions sent in each box 
for making ONE POUND OF THE ABOVE SOAP into 
THREE GALLONS OF HANDSOME SOFT SOAP. Send 
for a box and give it a trial. If you do not want a whole 
box yourself, get your neighbors to join you and divide it. 
Believing that no family which lias once used this Soap, will 
ever be without it, and being desirous to have its merits 
widely known, I have made arrangements with the proprie¬ 
tors of the following papers, (many of whom have tried the 
soap and know its value,) by which I.am able for the present

We would call the attentian of Guano Dealers, Planter? and 
Farmers, to the article which we have on hand and for sute at 
40 PER CENT LESS THAW PERUVIAN GUANO, 
which we claim to be superior to any Guano or fertilizer ever 
imported or manufactured in this country. 
This Guano is Imported by

Ocean.

It has been satisfactorily tested by many of our prominent 
Farmers, and analvzed by the most eminent and popular Agri¬ 
cultural Chemists, and found to contain (as will be seen by our 
circular) a larse per centaVe of 
BONE PHOSPHATE OF LIME AND PHOSPHORIC 
ACID. 
and other animal organic matter, yielding ammonia sufficient to 
produce immediate abundant crops, besides substantially en¬ 
riching the soil. It can be freely used without danger ol burn¬ 
ing the seed or plant, by coming in contact with it, as is the 
case with some other fertilizers:; retaining a great degree of 
moisture, it causes the plant to grow in a healthy condition 
and as experience has proved, 
FREE OF INSECTS.
