Wiisliing' Machine not endorsed. — 
Wc have seen a handbill of a washing machine, invented by 
• Win. M. Doty, late Associate Editor of the American Agri¬ 
culturist.” Lest this should imply any endorsement, wc 
would say, that we have not proved the machine, and can 
not speak pro or con. Mr. Doty was formerly employed tem¬ 
porarily in this office, assisting in the business and editorial de¬ 
partments, but this has nothing to do with the merits or dc- 
cmerits of the machine, and should not be so used or construed.

J. C. Taylor, Holmcle^ N. J., Breeder of Webb South Down Sheep, 
Would say to the readers of the Agriculturist, after 15 years experience, that no sheen lor mutton, woo], easy keeping 
and as a cross, either to produce wethers or early lambs for the butcher, can equal the' South Down, and that no Sonth 
Downs have reached the perfection of the Webb South Down. Having made it my constant aim to stand ahead of all other 
breeders for 9 years past, and procured of Mr. Webb his very choicest stock animals by much effort and fabulous prices, 
I now claim to have a flook that has no superior in England or America, and now offer rams, ewes, ram lambs, and ewe 
lambs for sale, at prices according to quality and age, from $22 to $150 each. 
Wishing to show my flock to All; Persons leaving either New-York or Philadelphia at GA. M„ on Camden and Amboy 
R. R. forEreehold, can reach my place at 11 A.M., examine my sheep 2y, hours, and reach cither city the same evening. The

Saratoga Springs Remedial 
Institute. 
THIS INSTITUTION WAS ESTABLISHED TO MEET 
the wants of a class of Patients who feel the necessity of 
leaving their homes for medical aid. Its location was 
chosen in view of the medicinal advantages of the Springs. 
Since graduating at the New-York Medical University, we 
have availed ourselves of the facilities found only in our 
large cities for the study of disease, and have given special 
attention to those of Women ; also, of the Throat, Heart, ancl 
Lungs. 
As medical practitioners we treat all diseases; but Chronic 
Affections claim our pr incipal attention. 
While this is not a Water-cure, the invalid will find a good 
gymnasium, and all the facilities of a well-conducted scien¬ 
tific Hydropathic Establishment. 
The home reputation of a physician should be the basis of 
public confidence. For a fuller knowledge of the Institute, 
we refer to our Circular, and the reliable citizens of our 
village. 
The medical profession are invited to acquaint themselves 
with the Institution.
