SAFETY! 
CHARLES PRATT’S ASTRAL OIL 
is mtentied to supply a great Public Want for a Safe, Reli¬ 
able Illuminating: Oil. It is manufactured by us, and packed 
only in our Guaranty Patent Cans, expressly for Family 
Use. It has more body, and an equal quantity will burn 
longer and give more light than any other oil. It is 
Perfectly Pure, no Mixture nor Chemicals. 
E. N. Horsford, late Rumford Prof., Harvard Univ., etc., 
R. Ogden Doremus, M.D., Prof. Chem., etc., Bellevue Hos¬ 
pital, Medical College, and College of the City New York, 
say of the Astral Oil 
“It is REMARKABLY CLEAR AND FREE FROM DISAGREE¬ 
ABLE odor, and burns with a brilliant flame, without 
offensive SMELL. A lamp filled with the Oil, and allowed 
to burn entirely out, does not encrust the wick. 
The “ flashing point ” may he fairly stated to he 125 degrees 
Fall., and the “ burning point ” not below 145 degrees Fail. 
The plan adopted for securing the public against adul¬ 
teration of the oil, by putting it up for sale in Cans of 
convenient size for family use, and sealing the cans, to 
he opened only by the consumer, is to re commended in 
the strongest terms. This system, faithfully carried out, 
MEETS A GREAT PUBLIC WANT.”

EMPIRE GR1XDER. 
Patented January 19tli, 1869. 
MILTON FOAVKS, 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 for 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 the two converging edges of two contiguous 
teeth at once. 
It is so easily operated that a hoy 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 turns behind ttie cutter- 
bar, thereby being perfectly safe in its use. It lias been ex¬ 
amined and thoroughly tested by scientific men, and pro¬ 
nounced unequalled. Farmers are delighted witii it. 
Every person using mowing machines should have one.
