RICH'D. H. PEASE, Phoprietor. 
I would call the attention ofyour readers to the following arti¬ 
cles of my manufacture, being satisfied that they are, each and 
all of them, the very best and cheapest labor-saving machines 
ever offered to the public. I use none but the best material, 
and employ as experienced workmen as can be had; lienee my 
work is unsurpassed, both in utility and durability. All I ask 
is that you should make a trial of any of my machines, and I am 
confident of giving satisfaction. The Excelsior 
CHANGEABLE RAILWAY HORSE POWERS, 
Have long been acknowledged to be the best, most durable, and 
easiest working machines in use. They have invariably taken 
the First Premium at every test trial where they have been ex¬ 
hibited, both at the United States and State and County Fairs. 
Price $116. 
CADY’S I IMPROVED LEVER HORSE POWER, 
To be driven by 2 or 4 horses, is a first-rate machine for heavy 
work, as it combines durability and cheapness, and has a varie¬ 
ty of motions with same speed of horses. Price $60. 
Excelsior Changeable Thresher and Separator, 
For threshing and separating any kind of grain, has stood many 
severe t’ests with uniform success, and can be run by wind* 
steam, or horse power. With my One-Horse Power, it is capa¬ 
ble of threshing from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, rye, barley or 
buckwheat, or from 175 to 200 bushels of oats, in one day ; and 
with the Two-Horse Power and one extra hand, nearly double 
the work can be performed. Price, Single, $37; Double, $40. 
THRESHER AND CLEANER COMBINED, 
To be run by the Two-Horse Power, are warranted to clean the 
grain thoroughly. They are quite compact, occupying but little 
more room than the Thresher, and are highly recommened by 
those using them. Price $125. 
Excelsior Circular and Cross-Cut Saw Combined, 
(Cady’s Pa*ent,) can be attached to any horse, water, or steam 
power, with a belt, and is capable of performing more work 
than any maehine of the kind in use. Over 100 of these machines 
were sold in one State last year, and all worked to a charm. 
Price $65. 
EXCELSIOR CIRCULAR SAW MILL, 
For sawing cord wood, stove wood, &c.,has been in extensive 
use on the railroads in the country, and also by many farmers, 
and is just the thing for the purpose. With a One-Horse Power 
it can saw from 20 to 25 cords of wood in one day, and with a 
Two-Horse Power and an extra man, much more. Price $37. 
Suiting Table and Saw, for fence stuff, fitted to above machine, 
at the trilling expense of $7. Is very convenient for farm use. 
EXCELSIOR CROSS-COT SAW-MILL. 
To he run by the Excelsior Horse Power. Is capable of sawing 
a log 4 feet in diameter. Its cheapness and facility of using, re¬ 
commend it to general use. Price S25. 
EXCELSIOR CLOVER HOLLER, 
This little machine is capable of hulling from 5 to 10 bushels 
of seed in a day, without injuring or wasting it in the least. 
Price $32. 
EXCELSIOR CIDER AND WINE MILL, 
(Krauser’s Patent,) is highly recommended as a great improve¬ 
ment over other portable mills. It grates the apples into a fine 
pomace, which fall into the tub, which is then shoved under the 
Press, where it can be subjected to a pressure of nearly 10 tons, 
thus obtaining every particle of juice. Price $45. 
EXCELSIOR DOG POWER, 
For churning, turning grindstone, &c., is got up in a most sub¬ 
stantial manner, all the shafting and rollers being of iron. Is 
easily attached to any churn, and is a great saver of time. 
Price $18. 
Share’s Patent Coulter Harrow and Grain Coverer. 
This machine is a great improvement on the Scotch or drag- 
harrow, and it saves once plowing. It lifts, loosens, and pul¬ 
verizes the soil, and makes the ground as smooth as could be 
made by raking. Price $15. 
Share’s Patent Hilling. Hoeing and Covering 
Machines, 
For covering, cultivating and hoemg potatoes and corn. They 
do away entirely with the hoe, and by tilling and cultivating all 
parts equally, they insure a much larger crop. 
Orders respectfully S"licited. and promptly attended to, for 
any of the above-mentioned machines, which are all warranted 
to give satisfaction. or they can be returned at my expense.

THE “ TOM THUMB GRIST MILL ” excels, in practical el- 
ficiency, every Metallic Mill which has ever been produced, and 
at less than half the price of any other. By the simple device of 
anadjustible regulator within the throat of the Mill, we are 
able to dispense with all the superflous rattle-trap arrangements, 
which have hitherto proved so objectionable in similar machines. 
It is rigged wit h pulley for attachment to any kind of power, and 
makes meal, from any kind of grain, at the rate of five to eight 
bushels per hour. 
Warren Clark, Secretary of the Eagle Company, at Mendota, 
Illinois, writes as follows concerning one now in use at their 
works; 
“ The little ‘ Tom Thumb Mill ’ you sent us ie the best thing 
of the kind in use. We have ground Corn, Oats, Barley, Hun¬ 
garian Grass Seed and Buckwheat. It works equally well with 
each. We run through six bushels per hour, and feel assured 
that we can put eight bushels of dry corn through per hour, and 
then make as good meal as it is possible to produce with burrs.”

The long sought for principle of making leather perfectly wa¬ 
ter-proof has at last been discovered. A. Brower’s Patent Wa¬ 
ter-proof Composition for Leather makes boots and shoes per¬ 
fectly impervious to water by a single application, and warrant¬ 
ed to keep so. At the same time it softens the leather, makes it 
pliable, and thereby prevents its cracking. It will polish with 
blacking as well after the application as before. It is also as ap¬ 
plicable to ladies’ fine kid slippers as to stouter leather.
