THE Subscriber has at great expense of time and money done much to introduce these machines throughout the country generally, and with such success that he is fully satisfied of their superiority over every other kind of Threshing Machinery in use, with which he is acquainted. Probably no other machines yet invented have met with so rapid an introduction, gone so extensively into use, or given such universal and uniform satisfaction. The rapidly increasing demand has induced him to erect during the past years, (1848-1849, a spacious manufactory in this city, to facilitate the manufacturing, and better supply the wants of the farming community. These increased facilities, together with his extensive Ware rooms, and complete assortment of every desirable article of Implement or Seeds wanted by the farmer, enable him to offer great inducements to the public to purchase their supplies of and through him, whether for their own use or to sell again. Terms CASH, or approved notes, or city acceptances, at thirty, sixty, or ninety days, with interest.

Auburn, April 1, 1850.—3t. 10,000 Acres of Long Island Land for Sale, At Lake Road Station, or Irvington. THE undersigned is, and has been for several years, engaged in the improvement and cultivation of the wild lands of Long Island. The fact being now fully established, beyond any doubt, that the land in the middle parts of the Island, along the borders of the L. I. Railroad, is as good and productive, when cultivated in the same manner. as any other part of Long Island. 10,000 acres are now of fered for sale, in parcels to suit purchasers, from 10 acres, to 100, or 1,000, at a very low price, and on favorable terms. This tract is near the geographical centre of the Island, being about equi distant from Long Island Sound, and the Great South Bay, (the Island being about 13 miles wide there,) and 48 miles from New-York. There are many highly cultivated farms in the immediate vicinity, on the north and south side of this land, having been settled and eultivated more than 150 years. It is well watered, being bounded on the north by the famous Ronkonkama Lake-has also a large and never failing stream running through it. The lake and stream are full of fish-perch in the lake, and trout, in great abundance and of large size, in the stream. The country abounds in game, deer, and wild fowl. The climate is mild and perfectly healthy, the surface is smooth, gently undulating, with an inclination to the south of about 15 feet to the mile the soil-free from stone, easy and pleasant to cultivate -is a loam, large portions of which may be called a heavy loam, or it is of sufficient tenacity to make sun- ornt brick, right out of the surface is from 18 inches to 3 and 5 fee deep, and is susceptible of the highest degree of cultivation. The railroad passes through this tract, affording easy and constant communcation with the Brooklyn and New-York markets, where the highest price in cash, can always be had for every article that the farmer and gardener can produce. To capitalists, an excellent opportunity is here presented to obtain a large tract of valuable land at a low price, possessing all the advantages for settlement of a new country, without any of the privations, but with all the privileges and comforts of an old one.

He would also say to those that have not had the experience, that trees brought from the South (if they do live) do not grow as thrifty for a number of years, as those raised in a Northern latitude, which many persons can prove from experience. He also pays particular attention to the transplanting of his trecs so as to have them well rooted.

This discovery he will impart to any individual on the receipt of one dollar. It being understood the purchaser shall hold himself honorably pledged, not to impart the information to others.

His dam This horse was sired by the celebrated Old Woodbury Morgan, was known by the name of Empress, and was sired by the original Justin Morgan Horse. It will therefore be seen that this horse possesses equally as much Morgan blood as either of the four Stallions sired by the Original Morgan, and more Morgan blood than any other stallion now living, except the Old Gifford, which was sired by the same horse. For further particulars, see our bills. WRIGHT & ELDREDGE. Warren, Washington county, Vt., May 1, 1850-21. John A. Pitts, Manufacturer of THRESHING MACHINES and DOUBLE PINION HORSE POWERS, 68 South St. Paul Street, Rochester, N. Y. THE subscriber continues the manufacture of the celebrateed "Pitt's Separator." It is the same machine that has stood, and now stands unrivalled by any machine for Threshing and Cleaning Grain, in existence. It has been exhibited at State and County Agricultural Fairs, in the United States and Canada,—always receiving the First Premium. The Horse Power, for strength, ease, durability, and cheapness of repair, is unequalled. The driving wheel is six feet in diame ter, driving two full pinions, each receiving equal power; 2 bevel wheels, driven by the full pinions, connect with two pinions, on the line shaft; thus it will be seen, this Horse Power is double the strength of any single geared Power. It may be driven with from two to ten horses, depending upon the power required. The Machines have fully sustained all I claim for them; I therefore solicit orders from those who would secure the best Threshing Machine and Horse Power. Please address as above. 1850-3t.

We continue to manufacture these celebrated Mills and Cradles. They have been awarded six first premiums at the NewYork State Fairs, and at the great American Institute in New York, and several County Fairs, always taking the first premium over all other mills. The manufacturers feel confident, therefore, in offering these mills to the public, that they are the best in use. During the year 1847 they were introduced into England, by Mr. Slocum, of Syracuse. They were very favorably noticed by the English papers; and from a communication of Mr. S.'s, published in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Ag. Society, for 1847, it will be seen that they were tried by several large farmers, and highly approved. One farmer, it is stated, set aside an almost new winnowing machine, for which he paid £18, (890) and used Grant's for cleaning a crop of 300 qrs. (2,700 bushels) of wheat, and several hundred bushels of mustard seed. We have lately made some valuable improvements in the article, though the price Our fans are extensively used and highly approved at the south, for cleaning rice. We are permitted to make the following extracts from letters received from Hon. J. R. Poinsett, of South Carolina: The fan you sent last summer, [1848] has been successfully used to clean dirty rice, and winnow that from the threshing floor. It answers every purpose." In relation to another of our fans, he writes, (April 23, 49.)-" Both this and the first mill you sent, work very well; and the last, which is the largest that can be well worked by a man, cleans the dirty rice perfectly, and is altogether the best wind-fan I ever used for that purpose." Our Cradles have taken the first premiums at two New York State Fairs, and are considered the best in use. The great encouragement we have received from dealers and agriculturists, has induced us to greatly enlarge our business, and we hope by strict attention, to merit a further patronage. Orders will be thankfully received, and receive prompt attention. 1. T. GRANT & CO. Junction P. O., Rens.
