dens, is now prepared to supply orders for large and well-grown 
plants. After an experience of FIVE YEARS he is able to 
speak positively as to its good qualities.

entireey hardy with ut Winter covering, and are biennial. 
2. One principal crop is produced in July, followed by a good 
second crop through August, September and October. Good 
pickings are had at the present time, which have received pre¬ 
miums from various horticultural shows. 
3. The fruit is red, rich, and fine flavored.

I again offer to the public this valuable, hardy, red Rasp¬ 
berry, of the Antwerp family, but not. tlie true Red Antwerp 
of the nurseries and market gardeners, as the Allen is perfectly 
hardy without Winter protection in any climate wnere it lias 
been tried, up to 45 deg. North. Mr. Allen has cultivated it in 
his farm gardens, of which I now have the charge, for ten years 
past, and it was only offered for sale last year, after fully test¬ 
ing its hardihood, prolific bearing, and large, high-flavored fruit. 
Its strong growth of cane requires no support, and it is every 
way a most valuable variety, not known elsewhere than in its 
present grounds, and places to which it has been transplanted. 
Price 10 cents each, in quantities less than sixty. For five to 
eight dozen, $1 per dozen. For one hundred or more, $7 per 
hundred ; payment remitted with the order. 
The plants will be forwarded by express, railroad or steam¬ 
boat, as soon after the October frosts as they can be taken up 
and packed. 
A full description of the plant and fruit, and directions for 
cultivation, will be sent with each package.

■Willis’ Improved Stump Machine 
PATENTED MARCH 6, 1855. 
Farmers, Mechanics , Road-Builders, Speculators, and 
all progressive men , your attention is 
called to this valuable Patent. 
Mv Stump Machine must go before the Mower and Reaper. 
It has no equal. It is simple in its construction, easily worked, 
and not liable to get out of repair. Its common weight is about 
1,500 lbs. It is easily borne from place to place, and it oan be 
loaded in three minutes, and unloaded, set up, and a lusty stump 
drawn, all within fifteen minutes. Once fastened, it will pull 
an acre and a half of stumps without changing anchorage. A 
single voke of cattle, or one strong horse, is sufficient to work it. 
Wiili such a team, if necessary, a power of from three to five 
hundred tons can be made to hear upon a single stump! 
One man can work it, though two work it at better advantage. 
Tlie time required to extract stumps from six inches to four feet 
in diameter will vary from two to ten minutes. With this Ma¬ 
chine, standing trees may be taken out, and large rocks removed 
from their beds ; and it is the best Machine ever invented, not 
only for pulling stumps, but for moving buildings, and other 
heavy bodies. All the iron used is wrought, of peculiar quality, 
imported, sustaining 57 tons to the inch! 
The price of these Machines varies according to weight and 
size—the weight of the largest being about 1,500 lbs. For the 
purpose of transportation, it can be boxed uo, with the excep¬ 
tion of the lever and wheels, in a box ten feet long and about 
fifteen inches square. I reside at Orange, Massachusetts, 
where I manufacture this article on a large scale, and hold my¬ 
self ready to furnish it, or sell rights to use it, in any State or 
town in the Union, now nnsold, on terms most reasonable. 
This patent begins to be appreciated. All who wish to bring 
so good a tiling into use, ar.d thereby make a “pile of money,” 
should come to Orange, see tlie inventor, see the workings of 
the machine with their own eyes, and if not. perfectly satisfied 
respecting its merits, all tlieir expenses shall be cheerfully paid. 
These Machines, properlvboxed for transportation, are sold by 
NOURSE, MASON & CO., PARKER, WHITE & CO., and 
SCUDDER & CO., of Boston; and by R. L. ALLEN, No. 189 
Water-street, New-York. WILLIAM W. WILLIS.

CHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE, 
THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL 
RAILROAD COMPANY 
IS NOW PREPARED TO SELL ABOUT 
1 ,B00,0»0 A CRUS OF CHOICE 
FARMING- LANDS, 
IN TRACTS OF FORTY ACRES AND UPWARDS 
ON LONG CREDITS, AND AT LOW RATES OF INTEREST. 
T hese lands were granted ba 
the Government to aid the construction of this Road, and 
are among the richest and most fertile in the world. They ex¬ 
tend from Northeast and Northwest, through the middle of tlie 
State, to the extreme South, and include every variety of climate 
and productions found between those parallels of latitude. The 
Northern portion is chiefly prairie, interspersed with finegroves. 
and in the Middle and Southern sections timber predominates, 
alternating with beautiful prairies and openings. 
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any 
other part of the country; the air is pure and bracing, while liv 
ing streams and springs of excellent water abound, 
Bituminous Coal is extensively mined, and supplies a cheap 
and desirable fuel, being furnished at many points at 82 to 
$4 per ton, and wood can be had at the same rate per cord. 
Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds, which can 
be procured for little more than the expense of transportation. 
The great fertility of these lands, which are a black rich mold 
from two to five feet deep, and gently rolling—their cont iguity to 
this road, by which everv facility is furnished for travel and 
transportation to the principal markets North, South, East, 
West, and the economy with which they can be cultivated, ren¬ 
der them the most valuable investment that can be found, and 
present the most favorable opportunity for persons of industri¬ 
ous habits and small moans to acquire a comfortable independ¬ 
ence in a few years. 
Chicago is now tlie greatest, grain market m the world, arul 
the facility and economy witli which the products of these 
lands can be transported to that market,make them much more 
profitable at the prices asked than those more remote at. Govern¬ 
ment rates, as the additional cost of transportation is a perpetual 
tax on the latter, which must be borne by the producer in the 
reduced price he receives for his grain,&c. 
The Title is Perfect, and when the final payments are made, 
Deeds are executed by the Trustees appointed by the State, and 
in whom the title is vested to the purchasers, which convey to 
them absolute titles in Fee Simple, free and clear of everv in 
cumbrancc, lien or mortgage. 
The prices are from 06 to 030. 
INTEREST ONLY 3 PER CENT. 
20 per cent, deducted from the Credit price for Cash. 
Those who purchase on long credit give notes payable in 2, 3, 
4, 5 and 6 years after date,and are required to improve one-tenth 
annually for five years, so as to have one-half the land under 
cultivation at the end of that time. 
Competent Surveyors -will accompany those who wish to ex 
amine these lands, tree of charge, and aid them in making selec 
tions. 
The lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable as those 
which have been disposed of. 
SECTIONAL MAPS 
Will be sent to any one who will inclose fifty cents m Postage 
Stamps, and Books or Pamphlets, containing numerous in¬ 
stances of successful farming, signed by respectable and well- 
known fanners living in the neighborhood of the Railroad lands

tion, will be cheerfully given on application, either personally

—nearly 1,000,000 BOTTLES PER YEAR, and its universal 
popularity proclaim it emphatically “the public favorite.” 
The Kat.hairon- is pronounced by all to be the most excellent 
preparation for the Hair ever made. This unprecedented popu¬ 
larity'has induced unprincipled persons to endeavor to sell 
worthless imitations and counterfeits in place of the genuine

such imposition. Sold by all respectable dealers everywhere
