recommend all farmers who use a Threshing Machine, to 
buy one yours in preference to all others. 
JOHN H. CORNING. 
Lincoln Co., Tenn., Sept. 26, 1857. 
Mr. Rich’d H. Pease. Albany, N. Y.—Dear Sir—Hav¬ 
ing purchased one of your Excelsior Horse Powers of your 
agent, Mr. Shoffner, I think it is undoubtedly the most 
perfect Machine that I have ever met with. I have thresh¬ 
ed fifty bushels of wheat in one hour, without sweating 
my horses in the least, and -would recommend it to the use 
of every farmer. WM. DYER. 
Nicholasville. Kv., Sept. 1, 1857. 
Mr. Rich’d H. Pease, Albany, N. Y.—Sir—I have been 
using one of your Excelsior Horse Powers and Threshers 
for two years. I have this season threshed forty-three 
hundred and ninety bushels in twenty days, notwithstand¬ 
ing foul weather and the moving of Machine. 
I have threshed as much as three hundred and twelve 
bushels in one day. The straw was cradled, and very long, 
it being unusually so this season. J. M. ROBERTS. 
Bethlehem, Albany Co., N. Y., Aug. 1, 1857. 
Mr. Rich’d H. Pease— Dear Sir—The Two Horse Pow¬ 
er and Thresher I bought of you, is certainly the most 
superior Machine of the kind I ever saw work I think I 
can thresh more grain, and do it easier, than with any Ma¬ 
chine I ever worked with, and I have followed the busi¬ 
ness for a number of years. Several of my neighbors say 
they will get their Machines of you for the next harvest. 
Yours respectfully, WM. WANDS.

We, the undersigned, hereby certify that we have pur-

no hesitancy in saying that in our opinion they are the 
very best of which we have any knowledge, they having 
performed to our entire satisfaction. Given under our 
hands, day and date above.

Mr. Rioh’d H. Pease—I received the Two Horse Pow¬ 
er, Thresher and Separator, I purchased of you, and put 
it to work to test it. I have threshed 2,500 bushels of 
wheat, oats and rye, with them, without a break of any 
kind. It works to my entire satisfaction, and I think 
there is no better Machine made. WM. McNElL.

REPORT ON HORSE POWERS. 
T HE manufacturer of an infringing Horse Power, who 
originally ( about thee years since), made patterns, from 
Emery’s Power of all the working parts, and made every 
effort to imitate in appearance, even to the color as well 
as the name, &c., did not, until suits at law for infring- 
ments were instituted in the “ United Slates Court',' change 
the name to “Excelsior.” lie also very materially chan¬ 
ged some of the most important and valuable features of 
the working parts, and its changability much to iis detri¬ 
ment,-as his experience in the business has already demon¬ 
strated to him and those purchasing and dealing in bis 
machines. 
The same manufacturer continues making a few ma¬ 
chines, and in his advertising, uses a “ Newspaper Put!” co¬ 
pied from, if not dictated for the Louisville Journal of 
1857, a report of a trial of machines by the United States 
Agricultural Society, in which it claims awards and merits, 
&c, &c., which are untrue, &c ; to set the matter right, 
the report is here annexed verbatim. 
“Double Ratl Way Horse Powers — Richard H. 
’•‘‘Pease, Albany, N. Y, Special Diploma of Commendation 
“—Emery Brothers, Albany, N. V., Diploma of Commen- 
“ elation. After the most careful examination the committee 
were with difficulty able to discover that either of the above 
’'■machines possessed any advantage over the other." 
So far from being awarded by the Committee as in com¬ 
petition with Steam Engines, it is only necessary to say, 
each Engine was reported on separately and received 
the same Diploma, with the exception that fifty dol¬ 
lars of plate was also awarded to one of them—no me¬ 
dals, gold or silver, great or small, having been awarded. 
It is important to state the Excelsior Power in that trial 
cost at least twenty dollars more than those offered for 
sale, as can be shown by the workmen who made it ; also 
that machines now bearing that name, have been since 
altered, and much to their detriment, since that trial. 
The public can distinguish for themselves the difference 
in the Powers, by obtaining a copy of the New “ Illumi¬ 
nated Catalogue,” furnished gratis on receipt of six cents 
to pay postage on same, on application to
