The subscriber having p.frchased the Pight of the above Machine for the Counties of Cumberland and Harnett, is now ready to furnish such as may be desirous of obtaining a Right. The machine is simple, both in its structure and operations, and should any portion of it fail, can be easily and speedily repaired by any person having the use of tools. 1 do not claim for this machine more than what it is able ti perform with that description of labor which almost every family is able to supply, without at all interfering witn tie ordinary duties. In the first place a child 12 or l." years of age can perform all the labor, after having seen it operate a few times, aud if the direc tions are adhered to, will do as much work in one dav its three or four women in the ordinary way, and the work will be much better done.

When I was down to Xew Orleans a making my eternal fort-in, wlo should tnru tip one lay, of all creation, but Deacon Drittle's darter Sal, a fritter I used to be kinder sweet on in Var moiit bat good gracious! alongside of them Creoles and French gals wall it is no nse of talking comparisons are odorous as Mrs Mallaprop says in the jilay. Of coarse I was not OTcr and above delighted to see her, did f jganjr;; uuoib, nr tear raj , rt.tt, r; -'' v . f .. . . I ' f - i - ii - . rue inaiter, ana tn.iue i.eiievn- i u.i ' nirol giau to see iter. lite old Jleacon was ooty well to do, and in case nothing breaks, thinks I why, Sal is a pootv nice gal, and all things considered, i migni go iurtner and lare wuss. Ef I didn't go further and fare wuss, may I be kicked to death by grasshoppers. But I'm getting ahead of my story. I shinned up again to Sal, and took her out to ride a fetv j treated her to ice creams ah cettery once in a wniie. iut wnat on airtu put it in my iieiiu to take the critter to a ball 'cept it was my ill luck I never could discover. To make a long story short, I took Sal to a romping, tearing two dollar ball. Fixitis, ele gant American flags, bokays, the blackest kind of nigger fiddlers, chalked floors, ak cettery. But five minutes after I had been in there I didn't see no gas light, no flowers, no chalk, no niggers, no not hi ti' except one of the most splendiffcrous, angelifferous, ounacountable, fas cinoratin female critters I ever sot my tu goose berrT eyes onto. I ketched hold of a floor manager, and made him introduce me to her. Gee-whitnker! what a kurtsey she made! and I bowed so low that I nearly fell out of my dickey on to the floor. We danced good real, and I was so delighted with the critter I engaged her for the whole evening. "Do you waltz, Mr Hopkins'' asked she. "I don't do nothing else," said I, bold as brass, and with that I ketched hold of her like as I see the other fellers doing to their gals, and ef I didn't sling her then there is no snow on Killingly Peak. A few complimentary re marks, such as "go it boots," from the bystand ers, encouraged me to do my pootiest, and the way I slung them cowhides was perfectly orful I say it with the realizing sense of the moral responsibility of the assertion. Once in a while I ketched sight of Sal, setting up against the wall in solitary glory, but it only made me cut up the harder. Bim-by I got dizzy, and the next thing I knowed, I was sitting on a sofa and that ere angel holding salts to my nose, and bending over me like allien over a spavined chicken. I didn't see no more, nor hear no more, after that. How Sal got home I didn't inquire. 1 waited on her to the door, and when she telled me at parting I might call on her, I went home chuck full of glory and happiness, and dreamed all night the strangest kind of dreams about my being in the Garden of Eden, aud playing "high, low, Jack" with Gen. Washington and Mary Queen of Scotts. Xext day perhaps I did not call on my charmer well, I reckon I did, though. I bust right out, and called her all the angels in crea tion, and told her I love her better than maple sugar or new cider. "Will you do me a favor?" says she. "Anything in reason or agin reason," said I. "Well," says she, "looking good enough to eat, "I want yon to buy me a cowhide here's a bit to pay for it." "Darn the expensa," says I, "I'll make you a present of it." Oif I went, proud of the commission, and bought a real stinger cost me a sliillin' won derin' who on airth she wanted to give a lickin' to. I hav it, thought I, some other fellow she don't like has been persecntin' her, and now she is goiu to give him the sack and a lickin' into the bargain "So," says I, as I handed her the cowhide, "Miss Evelina, (that was her name,) I should like to know the name of the individual that ere cowhide is destined to astonish." "He's about your size," says she, with a pe culiar smile that I didn't somehow exactly like. Then she telled how Sal had been there, and told how shameful I'd treated her and then ami then my stars! if she didn't use that cow hide powerful. "Hold on," says I, "it hurts." she, "plenty "Glad of it," says more licks whar them cum from!" and she pelted away on my head, and ears, and limbs, aud arm, until the air seemed full of licks and cowhides. I hollowed "enufr," but it warn't no kind of use, I haird't had such a lickin since I blowed up the old skule house stove with father's powder horn, and got ketched just as I was tochin' off the train. I rid home in a carriage that cost me a dollar and I kept my bed for a fortnite. I was a sight to be seen! My head was swelled up biggeru' a yallar pntikin. When I got well I went to sec Sal to explain matters and make it up with her. But she didn't care to make my acquaintance.- The in gratitude of wimmen in onnacconntable. And there was a feller with black whiskers settin' alongside of her, who said something about spiliin' for a fitc, which made me make tracks in double quick time. The story got into the newspapers, and darned if it didn't make Xew Orleans too hot to hold me. Sal soon married the clerk of a steamboat. So I come Xorth, but I haint called on no galls since, and liaiiit been to no balls, for cowhide grow in Boston just about as vigorous as they do in Xew Orleans, and a feller that has had one such a lickin' as I had, don't care about another at no price. A Boy's Speech. The other day a boy came tearing round a corner with his rags in the wind, his faco smeared with molasses, and a shingle flourishing in his hmid, white he was shooting to another boy abont the size of a pepper box, who stood some quarter of a mile down the street: "Oh Bill git as many lioys as ever you can, and as many shingles as ever you can, and come up the street, round the corner, as soon as ever you can, for there's a reat bi" large hogsit of laases busted on the pavement, busted all to smash." Making a Xeedi.e. Needles are made of steel wire. The wire is first cut by shears from coils into the length of tho needles to be made. After a batch of such bits of wire are, cut ofF, they are placed in a hot furnace,., .then taken out and rolled backward and forward on a table until they are straight. They are now to bo ground. The needle pointer takes up two doz. or so of the wires, and rolls them between his thumb and fingers, with their ends on tho grindstone, first one end and then the other. Next is a machine which flattens and gutters the heads of ter thousand needles an hour Next comes the punching of the eyes; aud a hoy doe it so fast the eye can hardly keep ce with him. The. splitting follows, which u-'rtmnurg It fine wirtr0ngh & doreii, perhaps A wrwar Jit'? 4t-'i before her. "files - IJeiweejLheiL"A are now complete needles, but are rough, and- rusty, and tliey easily bend The hardening comes next. 'Ihcy are heated in batches in a iurnace. ana when red hot are thrown into a pan of cold water. Xext, they must be tem pered, and this is done by rolling them back ward and forward on a hot metal plate. The polishing still remains to be 'done. On a very coarse cloth needles are spread, to the number of forty or fifty thousand. Emery dust is strewed over them, oil is sprinkled, and soft so;rp daubed by spoonfuls over the cloth; the cloth is then rolled hard up, and, with several others of the same kind, thrown into a sort of wash-pot, to roll to and fro for twelve hours or more. They come out dirty enough; but after rinsing in clean hot water, and tossing in saw dust, they look as bright as can be, and are ready to be ported and put up for sale. "Dying for a Cock Tail." Luke Davis says the Nashville Daily Gazette, has only one fault he set too high a value on distilled liquors. This habit it has reduced Davis to seedy trowsers and generalship. On Monday last, Davis was "dying for a cocktail," but, as ill luck would have it, he had not the necessary funds to realize his desires. Davis thought over the matter, and then made a rush for the signof the Swill Tub. He entered the bar room with his hair streaming out behind like a comet: "For heaven's sake, hand mc a glass of liquor countryman just fell down in Market street, aud cut his head open so that his life is despaired of." The bar-keeper flew around and handed Davis abont three gills of first quality brandy. Davis seized the mug and rushed out. He returned in about teu minutes, and said the man was better, and hail been carried to the hospi tal. Barkeeper said: "Gla'd to hear it," and felt like a Samaritan for the remainder of the day. In about two hours after this Davis was arrested for singing the 'Star Spangled Banner,' from a dry goods box, in Broadway. Strange fellow, that Davis! Don't mean any harm, but will have his cock-lail. A PiioTo;R.vrii of the Sea's Bottom. In the last number of the Journal of the Society of Arts, Mr W. Thompson, of Weymouth, gives an account of the means ho adopted tor taking a photograph of the bottom of the sea, in Weymouth bay, at a depth of three fathoms. It appears that the camera was placed in a box with a plate-glass front, and a moveable shutter to be drawn up when the camera was sunk to the bottom. The camera being focussed in this box on land for objects in the foreground, at about ten 3'ards or other suitable distance, was let down from a boat to the bottom of the sea carrying with it a collodion plate, prepared in the ordinary way. When at the bottom, tho shutter of the box was raised, and the plate was thus exposed for about ten minutes. The box was then drawn into the boat, and the imago developed in the usual manner. A view was thus taken of the rocks and weeds lying at tho bottom of the bay. Mr Thompson anticipates that it wiM be a ready and inexpensive means of arriving at a knowledge of piers, bridges, piles, structures and rocks under water. Mr Buchanan. At the ratification meeting in Washington on Wednesday, after other speakers: Hon. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, next addressed the meeting. lie pledged James Buchanan to sustain the rights of every section of the Union. Within the last six days he had himself heard the illustrious candidate for tho Presidency declare that if elected it should le his aim to crush out Abolitionism. Cheers. In conclusion, he pledged Mississippi to roll up a majority of not less than 10,000 votes for the Democratic candidates. Applause.
