C. J. MESSER,
- Miwufacturer of Improved
Threshing Machines,
AND
HORSE POWERS.
Threshers & Separators!
In the manufacture of Threshers and Separators, I have
aimed, in the first place, to select the most approved pat
terns such as have lieen tried and found to give satisfac
tion, holding myself ready at all times to adopt such im
provements as experience may suggest ss being desirable.
In the next place I have endeavored to select the best ma
terial aud have always been careful to employ none but
the most competent workmen. I have also instituted the
most careful scruteny of all of my jobs before they were
placed in the sales room, and in this way have been able
to supply my customers with none but the most com
plete work. It is to these fact that my machines owe
their reputation with farmers and threshers.
Woodbury's Patent.
I have thus far found that Woodbury's patent is most
sough t' .Tfter hv thjeffiera, anil ss certilicales show, it does
good 'It sojitweW; good satisfaction. The first prrmi-iiaV'o-ded
tn this machine at the Michigan and
0iiij1Re Fains, in 1858, and it has always received the
finefpreniinuisat County snd State Fairs, wherever ex
hihited, both in the ITnited States and Canada I am the
only manufacturer of this superior machine in the State.
Pills' Separator.
1 also manufacture another i qualiy excellent machine,
knowq as Pitts' Sejiarator. These Seiaralors, are, by
some, highly esteemed. They are mnnnfactured with
grea care and are a good machine. They have became
well established and are justly celebrated both for rapid
and perfect work. In manufacturing these machines I
have selected such pitterns only as have been fully tested
hv lomr use; and in olTering the two above I believe I off
er the very bestAhat are made. It is claimed br those
iv ho use Ihem. that thry will thresh, clean and htfor mar
ket more griin in a given time, and do it better, than anv
other machine. In fact, the only limit to theamnunt
they can thresh, depends opon the facilities at hand for
getting the grain to the machine and taking care of the
straw, c, after it is threshed. These machines are, both
of them, strong and durable: the joints areall fastened
with bolts, and arc fitted up with a Cast Sccf Cylinder
Shaft pivoted Kit urate nonet. The cylinder is 31 writ
es in length; and I am now making the Separator 6K
iachet teider than the Cylinder limbing the canvas belt
or grain rarrier 3"a inches wide. Width of shoe inside,
it 37 inches. The shoe is 2 inches wider than last near.
The Reater Shaft is furnished with brass boxes; brass
boxes also for Canvas Belt Shaft and Fan Shaft: steel
lournals with iron boxes for Fan Side Shaft; iron pulleys
(leathered) and cast iron conveyor, in every particular,
they are constructed in the very best manner in every
nar't: thev run easily, are easily (ended, and are adapted
to be driven by gear or by bands, requiring about 1,400
revolutions per minute.
In the manufacture of these machines, I have made
some improvements on the original patterns, and am
reaily to make such other changes as experience may
j suggest ss being vaiuaoie.
HORSEPOWERS.
For Powers with which to drive my Threshers, I have
selected, as being the best now in use, "Ms linprov
ed Patent Double rinum fairer.
These Powers are made bv me in the most thorough
manner, of the best material, and are of double the
strength of my single geared rower.
In the Pitts' Power. I am making shaft of the bevel
wheel, and master pinion of CAST STEEL, which is a
great improvement over the Iron Shaft used by other
manufacturers.

A Swiss Mother's Gift to the New York Sanitary
Fair.
A letter from Switzerland contains the
following. Perhaps the most touching off
ering is that given by an Alpine jteHSKnt
woman, a tmy Ixiok or pressed Alpine flow
ers, together with a simple wooden wine
cup, that formerly belonged to her son now
a soldier in the Union army- An Ameri
can lady, residing in Zurich Mary H. C.
Booth has written the following impromp
tu lines, and placed them, in the cup :
It isn't much, HcrrCoiiBul, that I have bro't to
day; But you're welcome to the little as the flowers
of May.
There isn't much upon the Alp except the pine
and flowers,
The Binixhine and the sparkling dew, and all the
mnging; snnwen.
But. I couldn't catch the sunshine, nor bottle np
Ihe dew;
And Ihe pine nuts on the Alpine hills are mil. for
. such aa you;
And so I've brought the blossoms that bloom
upon the hills,
And oieii on the sunny banks, beside the glaci
er rills.
If you think them worth the sending, 1 shall in
deed be elurl;
There may be one who'll buy them perhaps a
Switzerlad.
My boy is in America; you may have seen him
there;
You'd know hint by his mountain tone, and by
his irolden hair;
His voice is like an Alpine liorn, ho clear its
cry-tal tiotes;
'Twas like Ihe music of a song tu hear liiin call
his gnat.
The boy was gentle as a kid, and yet as full of
hre,
And dauntless as that royal bird, the Alpine
lammergier.
It isn't much, Herr Consul, that such as I can
bruit;;
But. here is Hiery's wine-cup a littlo. simple
thing
A Switzer wine cup, fragrant still with all the
sweet pen u mes
Of violeUi and forget-me-not s, and choice Al
pine blooms;
So take the cup, Herr Consul, and lake the Al
pine flowers;
For they may mind some Switzer lad of happy.
bygone hours.
Fill up the little Switzer cup with sparkling
Switzer ?oie,
A high health to America the country of the
tree!
"Wis." TbeSwiss peasant's word for"wine.
On presenting the cup and the little book
of pressed flowers, the good old jeasant
woman took a bottle of red bwitzer wine
from her pocket, and filling the cup, pre
sented it to the Consul, and then drank
herself, saying, "Here's a health and greet
ing to America, dod bless mv boy b new
fatherland." "God bless it," replied the
Consul, "snd bwitzerland too. The old
woman thanked him with tears in her eyes,
and went away, leaving "Hiery's cup" and
tiie Alpine blossoms behind her.

These men all hail from Perry to. Penn

land stock, and lived within a circuit of fif
teen iniles. They are all re-cnlisted men
but two or three.
The company has lieen out over two
years, most of the time at extreme southern
posts. During eighteen months they lost
but one man by sickness. They kept up
strict sanitary regulations, commuted their
rations of salt meat for fresh meat and veg
etables, and saved by the operation from
one hundred to one hundred and thirty
dollars jht month with which they made a
company fund appointing the Capt'n treas
urer, aud out of which whatever nicknacks
were needed could lie purchased. They
always ate at a table, which they fixed with
cross sticks and had their food served from
large bow ls, each man having his place as
at home, which no one else was allowed to
occupy. While the men were here, they
showed that they wrere sober, cheerful, in
telligent men, who had put their hearts in
to their work, and did not count any priva
tions or sacrifices as too great, if only the
life of the country might be thereby main
tained. During their w hole term of serv
ice they have not court-martialed a man.
They are commanded by Capt, Henry
D. Woodrurl) a native of Binghampton, in

A REBEL IN BOSTON REBUKED.
The Boston Journal of yesterday says:
"Last week a person from Baltimore, tem
porarily residing in this city invited five
friends to dine at the house of a female re
lation. On going to the dinner table the
party found the rebel flag topping a piece
of ornamental pastry, in the center of the
festive lioard. Ihe insult was noticed be
fore the guests w ere seated, and, as it ap
jieared, by all of them at nearly the same
moment. Not a word was spoken, but
every man left as by a mutual impulse, and
the Baltimore secessionist had leave to dine
alone. Next morning he was waited upon
for an explanation of his misconduct, but
his discretion prompted him to take the
first westward train for home."

Burnside's corps,' and it was amusing to
hear the negroes inquire, jestingly, ''How is
you, boss Mighty good thing w e did not
cotch you : we would never tuck you pris

and begged to have their w ill of the negroes

A SPANISH OUTRAGE IN PERU.

another, hardly inferior to any of those al
ready naniel--the conduct of the Span
iards toward Peru.. A special embassador
of Spauxnot having btiiable to settle a dif
ficulty between the twr Gov em incuts to
his own ' satisfaction, the Admiral of the
Spanish fleet off Peru at once, without any
prerioua declaration of war, neized the
Chiucha Islands, made prisoners of the
Governor and officers of the . Islands, and
captured a Peruvian transport w ith its of
ficers. He theu even made an attempt to
surprise and capture the Peruvian squad
ron in the port of Callaoi but this was for
tunately frustrated. . ,
Still more strange thau these seizures is
the declaration by which the Admiral tries
to justify hiscourse. Among the consider
ations which Le says have led him to oc
cupy the islands he mentions that the inde-
Iiencence of Peru has never been recognized
T Spain, and that the Government of Peru
has recently borrowed seventy millions dol
lars, a sum greatly in excess of the require

These systematic outrages upon the
weaker Powers of the American Coutiiieut,
are too significant to jass unnoticed, and
must speedily result in a league among

them to a common effort to stay these ag

SPIRIT OF COLORED TROOPS.
The conduct of the colored troops, by
the way, in the actions of the last few davs,
is descnlied as superb. An Ohio soldier
said to melo-day : "Fbever saw men tight
with such desperate gallantry as those ne
groes did. They advanced as grim and
stern as death, and when w ithing reach of
the enemy, struck about them with a pit
tileas rigor that was almost fearful." An
other soldier said to me: "These" negroes
never shrink or hold back, no matter w hat
the order. . Through scorching heat and
elting storms, if the order comes thev
march with prompt, ready feet" Such
praise is great praise, and it is deserved.
The negroes here w ho have been slav es ar
loyal to a man; and on our occupation of
Fredericksburg pointed out "the prominent
secessionists, who were at once seized bv
our cavalry and out in safe quarters. In "a
talk w ith a group of the.e faithful fellows I
discovered in them all a perfect under
standing of the issues of the conflict, and a
grand determination to prove w orthy of the
place and privileges to which they are to
be exalted. Cor. N. T. Post.

Alout the time the temperance reform
ation began, a well disposed farmer told
one of his men that he thought of trying
to do his work w ithout w hisky, and ask
him how much more he should have to
give him to do w ithout it The man told
him that he might give him what he pleas
eL "Well," said the farmer, "I will give
you a sheep if you will do without " The
eldest son . then ask him if he would give
him a-sheep if he would do without w his
ky. "Yes," said the farmer, "you shall
have a sheep if you will do w ithout"
The youngest son then asked if he w ould
do the same by him. "Yes, Sandy," w as
the reply ; "you shall have a sheep, too, if
you w ill do without whisky." Presently
Sandy asked, "Father hadn't you better
take a sheep too ?" This was a home ques

he could do without the "good creature,"

paper very confidently remarks :
The Army of the Potomac has under
gone radical changes since the advent of
Grant as commander-in-chief. The pomp,
display and luxury indulged in the officers
previous to that event partook of the char

riages, Colonels required a train of wagons
for their tent equipments, and the time
and talent of the officers were employed iu
rivalries-and political huckstering for this
or that General. ' This hiis all disappeared.
The coaches are sent to rear and the hors
es saddled for cavalry, or harnessed for ar
tillery; and above all harmony and unity
of purjiose prevail with the utmost confi
dence in the General-iu-chief.

The King of Dahomey acts very much
as did his pro-slavey friends a few years
ago with poor Amos Dresser, who, for the
crime of having an anti-slavery newspaper
in his trunk, was tried by the vigilance
committee, seven of w hom were ' lers of
the Presbyterian Church, taken to the
Market house, tapped to the waist and
punished with thirty stripes on his bare
back, and then run out of the city, witile
the sctinndrtli v ho-whipped him kept his
horse and buggy, worth 300. Talk of the
King of j DcJuuney, indeed ! How much
lietter were these blood-hounds, who w hip
ped white men for expressing their opin
