SAVE YOUR CORN COBS ; AND SHUCKS.
TO THE PLANTERS AMD HILLEES OF N. CABOLIMA
ifAHE undersigned has obtained Letters Patent
U to enable common Mill stones (or rocks) now
in use, to grind CORK , COR and SHUCK,
into meal, for Horses, Moles, Cattle Hogs, &c. there
hy saving more tban one third of a croh, which is an
important item.With planters. The machinery used
for the above purpose is simple and durable, and can
not, with fair means, get out of order. It will last as
long as tbe Stones last, with an expense of 60 cents
every five yearsi To enable tbe common Mill Stones
to grind ear cord into meal, requires no new build
ings or extra power. It can aUo be applied to Horse
Mills, Treshing Machines, Gins or auy given power
known. The eame Mill will grind one-third more of
Corn meal by the introduction of this Machinery, and
can be changed from grinding Corn and Cob, to
grinding Corn Meal in the space of thirty seconds.
Corn alone, when fed to stock, j is said to be by the
most practical and scientific Planters, constipating in
its effects, producing founders, cholicp and various
other maladies which are incident to stock. Grinding
cols with the Corn, makes a food congenial with
their nature, and cannot produce, any of the serious
results above mentioned. Stock, when fed on Corn
exclusively, are deprived of the benefits of distension
(so necessary to the proper health of animals) by
their being unable :o eat a sufficient bulk to produce
distention before the animal becomes gorged. Cobs
ground with the corn, produce this necessary disten
sion, without any danger of diseases arising from
overeating. Corn and cob meal is improved by
scalding, and still more by boiling, and yet more by a
partial fermenlaiiou. All the preparations facilitate
diffextion for Hogs. But Horses and Mules will not
eat fermented food, consequently they will require it
dry or partially wet with cold water Horses, Mules
and Oxen, when fed with unsround food, void much
in arr undigested state, whicli is of course lost for
allbeneficia purposes Qj Read the subjoined cer
tificate. ' I

and all calls will be attended to punctually and with
despatch by himself or Agent

CERTIFICATES.
' Having been solicited by Maj Collins to have my
Mill adjusted to grind Corn in tbe Ear and Shuck, I
consented that he should do so si an experiment ; and
I am able to say that it grinds Corn in tbe Shuck at
the rate of 30 bushels per hour; and the dressing of
tbe stones is so improved, that it grinds shelled Corn
more than twice as fast as before, and hy my watch.
at the rate of 15 bushrls per hour, and the meal finer
than usual. I deem it a valuable improvement, and
shall purchase the right to use it, as it will afford me
a speedy way of feeding my horses and cattle, and
save much thereby.
WM. BUYL.AIM.
MR. GALES : SIR In order to remove
Public prejudice (which appears to prevail in
this section of the country against all Patent Rights)
so far as my statement 'will go in giving the advan
tage which I have derived in having Major Collibs'
Patent Right for grinding Corn. Cob and bbuck, at
tached or applied to my Grist Mill, I state, that my
Mill, since ibis improvement was attached, grinds not
only as good Meal as before, but nri times fasts r,
and grinds up the Corn, Cob and Shuck, into Meal
sufficiently fine to mix with other rough food for
Stock. My Mill ground very slow before this im
provement waa made, but now grinds fine Meal at
tbe rate of six busheU per hour.
I make this statement, as well for the benefit of the
Public, as to do justice to Kbowltos's Patent (now
owned by Major Collins.)

For Publishes in the Town of Wilmington, 3f. C.
A TRI-WEEKLY PAPER,
TO BE ENTITLED
THE COMMERCIAL.
rpHE SUBSCRIBERS, urged by the encmir
A agement held out to them by many of the
enterprising and business men of the town, and con
vinced that such an establishment is required by the
increasing trade and growing importance of Wilming
ton, respectfully submit these proposals to the consid
eration of the community in this place and the neigh
boring country.
One of the primary objects of The ('Ommkrcial.
will be to give early and correct Commercial and Ma
rine intelligence ; the state of the Markets here, in
the different parts of the Union, and in foreign coun
tries, with which our people have intercourse.
Foreign news, domestic incideuts, and political
events, will receive projer attention, and every effort
will be made to render The Commercial interesting
to all clssses of readers.
Tbe subscribers do not think it proper to enlsrge
their promises in a Prospectus. They hope their
proposition will be met by the generous confidence of
tbe community, which they will sedulously aim to
deserve, by strict attention to business and the faith
ful performance of all the duties connected with their
establishment.
So far as the Editors may discuss political topics,
the character of this paper will be decidedly Whig,
and appeals will he made to the judgment and patri
otism of the people, in support of ihe Tariff, aud other
great measures of the party , so necessary to the glory
of the country and the prosperity and happiness of
the people.
Ths Commercial will be issued on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday, of each week, on a Royal
Sheet, at the moderate price of $5 per annum, paya
ble, in all cases, on receipt of the first number.
The Commercial will be found a prompt medium
for advertising, on account of the frequency of its
publication, and will be made as economical to the
advertiser, as a reasonable support for tbe publishers
will possibly admit. I
The first number will be issued on the third day ot r
March next, being the first Tnesdsy in tbat month.

Twenty r Dollars Reward
fin ANA WAY from the-Subscriber, residing at
Li Qj Pitisylvsnia Court House, Virginia, on the
mgiit of the 31st day of December, 1845, a likely
negro man. slave, by tbe name of WILEY.
The said negro slave was purchased by me, a short
lime since, from Atlas Rush, of Montgomery Coun
ty, North Carolina, on his return with the said slave
from Ftncnstle, Virginia, at which place he had been
apprehended, on his way to Ohio with free papers.
The said Wilkt is black, about five feet 11 inches
high, between 24 and 25 years of age, .and weighs
about 200 pounds ; is very likely and well formed.
He made his elopement on a large bob tail bay Mare,
saddle and bridle, which he alro took from me, with
a large green blanket under the saddle. Had on
when be left, a checked roundabout, somewhat grey
ish pantaloons, yarn, and a cap, and carried with him
also, a grey homespun coat ; is supposed to have pass
ed through Danville, Virginia, and is no doubt making
his way through Greeiisboroiigb, N. C. to the neigh
borhood of Mr. Rush, where be formerly lived, with
the view of procuring another set of free papers,
and for the purpose of having an interview with his
wife, whom he expressed, a few dsys before his de
parture, a gresl wish to see.
For the apprehension of the said slave, snd his se
curement in Jail, so thst I get him sgain, I will pay
the above reward of Twenty Dollars, and a reasona
