J he Pacific Ocean Railroad scheme is again 
about being submitted to the Legislature. It 
is now proposed to construct a railroad from the 
shores of Lake Superior to the valley of the 
Assiniboine, with a view of ultimately extend¬

before the Legislature in 1851, aud after a care¬

reported upon, but deferred for good reasons 
until a later period.

Toronto has become one of the great wheat 
and flour markets of the Lakes. By a summa¬ 
ry in the Globe, we find that during the season 
of 1856 the shipments of wheat and flour were 
as follows ;—Wheat, bushels, 1,213,973 ; flour, 
barrels, 168,821. Less than 100,009 bushels of 
the wheat, and only 70,000 barrels of flour went 
to Canadian ports. The balance was exported 
to the United States. The shipments of wheat 
since harvest were more than double the amount 
of the corresponding period of 1855. Only 
4,500 barrels of flour aud 4,000 bushels of wheat 
now remain in store at Toronto.

PATENT SHEEP SHEARING MACHINE. 
Tnis machine, invented and patented by P. Lancaster in 
April, 1855, is now so fully perfected that it is offered for sale 
with the utmost confidence as one of the most simple, useful 
and efficient labor-saving implements that has been offered the 
public for many years. It can be operated without difficulty 
by a boy or inexperienced person ; the principle of action be¬ 
ing similar to the shear cut of mowing machines, and operated 
by means of simple cog gears. Made entirely of metal it is 
very durable, net liable to get out of repair or be injured. 
It shears the wool close and even without cutting the sheep 
or “ clipping” the wool a second time, ensuring a saving of 
from three to six cents per sheep in the amount of wool obtain¬ 
ed, aud will enable the laborer to shear three or four times as 
many as can be sheared by hand, and doing the work invaria¬ 
bly better. With a modera'e sized flock it will repay the cost 
in one season, as they will be sold at the low and uniform price 
of TEN DOLLARS EACH. 
Tne Subscriber, sole proprietor of the patent for this valuable 
machine for the twenty-five western counties of New York, 
extending eastward to and including Broome, Chenango, 
Madison and Oneida, has located at Rochester, where he will 
be prepared to supply machines to any extent for his territory, 
and where orders are solicited, and the most satisfactory re¬ 
commendations and testimonials maybe seen. Orders accom¬ 
panied with the cash will receive prompt attention and ihe 
mnehine forwarded by Express, or as desired. A machine has 
been left at the office of the Kural New-Yorker for exhibition. 
Good inducements offered to Agents to canvass every county
