To Farmers and Planters!
FITZGERALD’S
PATENT PORTABLE BURR MILL
STONE AND MILLS.
FOR GRINDING WHEAT, CORN, or
any other kind of Grain. They may be pro
pelled by water, steam, wind, or horse power, and
will do its work with great rapidity and perfection,
and may be put up and kept in order by almost any
person. It is a perfect Grist Mill in miniature, well
adapted to the wants of every Farmer and Planter,
and is undoubtedly the cheapest and best Mill ever
offered to the public. These Mills are not made of
Iron or Steel, which soon become dull by use, and
then cannot be sharpened again, but of the best
FRENCH BURR STONE, which is but little affect
ed by use, and when it does become dull, can easily
be sharpened by the farmer himself. The highest
premiums and silver medals have been awarded to
this Mill three years in succession, by the American
Institute in the city of New York, and also a silver
medal from the Franklin Institute, in Philadelphia,
and the National Pair, at Washington. A Premium
was awarded to this Mill at the New York State
Pair held at Saratoga Springs, in Sept., 1847 ;
and also obtained a premium at the Massachusetts
Agricultural Pair held in Boston last September.
The subscriber owns the Patent-Right for SOUTH
CAROLINA, GEORGIA and FLORIDA, and has
already sold near one hundred mills in the South,
West and Middle Counties of Georgia, and the en
couiagement he has received, and the satisfaction the
mills have generally given, induces him to extend his
operations into South Carolina and Georgia in the vi
cinity of Augusta.

Mr. James Van Valkenhurgh,
Dear Sir: — l have tried your Fitzgerald Patent
Mill, for grinding corn, and have found it to answer
admirably. No planter that is not in the vicinity of a
public mill ought to be without one, if he can afford
to purchase, and hie family is sufficiently large to re
quire the use of it, otherwise, I would suggest that
several fanners of a neighborhood should unite to
purchase one in common, which being established in
a central position, would be accessible to all.
Very respectfully, yours, G. M. TROUP.
Albany, Baker Co.. Ga., May 22,1847.
Dear Sir: —I have purchased one of your Fitz
gerald Patent Burr-stone Corn Mills, and am perfect
ly satisfied that it would be greatly to the interest of
any planter who is notin the immediate vicinity of a
good public mill, to purchase one, being simple in its
construction, and durable in material, and easily pro
pelled by the same gear and power used in ginning
otton.
Yours, respectfully, ALEX. B. LAWTON.
Twiggs County, May 17, 1847.
Mr. \an Valkenhurgh.
Sir : —ln answer to yours of the 14th inst,, I take
pleasure in stating that the Mill you put up for me
performs admirably—l am better pleased than 1 ex
pected to be—l would not sell it for any price and be
obliged to do without one. I have ground in one day
with it, with my gin gear, forty bushels of good meal,
and I advise every man that is able, to purchase one.
R. W. RADFORD.
Demopolis, Ala., March 28, 1847.
Mr. James Van Valkenhurgh,
Dear Sir; —Your last, dated March, 12th inst.,
came duly to hand. I was then daily expecting the
Mill, but did not receive it until the 15th instant.
Since then I made a fair trial, and I need not tell you
that I found it everything you recommended it to be,
and more too. 1 ground nearly ail day, at the rate of
seven bushels per hour* of fine meal.
Yours, very respectfully, O. R. SHORT WELL.

CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
MISCELLANY.
From the New Orleans Picayune, 1 Zthinst.
Gen. Taylor at Pass Christian.
We received the following letter by the ho.it
yesterday morning:
Pass Christian, Monday Evening, }
September 11, 1848. ’ \
Whilst I write [half past 8 o’clock P. M.,] a most
anxious crowd is awaiting the arrival of the steam
boat Oregon, having Gen. Taylor on board from Pas
cagoula. Hundreds of bonfires are prepared; the.
boat isjnst in sight; the loud-mouthed cannon is
planted, ready to announce the approach of the Old
Hero, and before 1 conclude this hasty note, torches
and lamps will be blazing, and the noise of the thun
dering artillery will be echoing over the broad wa
ters of the Gulf! As I write in haste and in advance
of the arrival of the Oregon, which boat takes ibis
to you, of course I can give you no particulars of the
reception ; but by to-morrow evening’s boat 1 will
send you all. Suffice to say every tiling is well and
appropriately arranged for the occasion. The hotel is
crowded to overflowing—many persons from various
points have arrived to-day to see the sight.
Yours, &c., f. a. L,
We learn verbally that the reception given
to Gen. Taylor was brilliant in die extreme.
He arrived at the Pass from Pascagoula on the
splendid steamer Oregon, Capt. Hiern. The
boat was appropriately and showily dressed for
the occasion. At Mississippi City and other
points on the lake, the passage of the boat with
her distinguished passenger was greeted with
discharges of artillery, to which a gun on board
the Oregon responded. As night fell rockets
were from lime to time thrown up from the
boat to signalize her approach. Every thing
which Capt. Hiern could do to give effect to Uie
fete was performed. As the boat drew near
the Pass, artillery from three prominent points
thundered forth their welcome. At a given
signal an illumination of the shores of the lake
for five continuous miles blazed forth. Huge
bonfires had been prepared in advance, and
the residents on either side of the Pass had vied
with each other in their devices to give brillian
cy to the scene. It is described to ns as beau
tiful and grand. About nine o’clock the
boat reached the wharf. Gen. Taylor was re
ceived by a committee and escorted to the ho
tel by a large concourse of people, the passen
gers of the boat accompanying. Thousands
had gathered to welcome him, the whole coun
try round about having poured fourth its popu
lation, and the cities of Mobile and New Or
leans being numerously represented. The ho
tel itself had been for some days thronged with
guests, impatient for so joyous and honorable
a merry-making. The General was welcomed
in an appropriate address by Mr. Micou, to
which he made a fitting response. The enthu
siasm which prevailed on the occasion is rep
resented to us as delightful. The ladies formed
a large part of the assemblage, and testified ex
ultingly their ad miration of the gallantry of the
old soldier. Another mail will bring us, we
hope, a proper description of the ceremonies,
to be foMowed in due course by an account of
the dinner to have been given yesterday, and
of the ball which takes place to-night.
Wetting Bricks. —Few people, except build
ers, are aware of the advantages of wetting
bricks before laying them. A wall twelve
inches thick, built up with good mortar, with
brick well soaked is stronger in every respect
than one sixteen inches thick built dry. The
reason of this is, that if the bricks are saturated
with water they will not abstract from the mortar
the moisture which is necessary to its crystal
lization, and, on the contrary, they will unite
chemically with the mortar, and become as sol
id as a rock. On the other hand, if the bricks
are put up dry, they immediately take all the
moisture from the mortar, leave it too dry to
harden, and the consequence is that when a
building of this description is taken down of
its own accord, the mortar falls from it like so
much sand. — New York Sun.
Contracts on the Sabbath. —A case was re
cently decided in the Supreme Court of Massa
chusetts, Chief Justice Shaw presiding, in
which the validity of the statute prohibiting
secular business on the Lord’s Day was fully
recognised. An action was brought by J. L.
Potter against G. E. Greely for a vioation of
a bond not to run a bread cart on his own ac
count, or for any other person except the plain
tiff over a certain route, for a specified length
of time. Greely pleaded that though the bond
was dated on a week day, it was in fact made
and signed on the Lord’s day, between sunrise
and sunset; and, not being a work of necessity,
charily, or mercy, was in contravention of the
Lord’s Day act, consequently null and void.
Chief Justice Shaw decided that the bond in
this case was void, because made at a time
when such an act could not be legally done,
and gave judgment accordingly for the defen
dant. — Boston Traveller.
The Massachusetts Clock Maker. —Among
I the recent deaths in this city we notice that of
Mr. Simon Willard, on The 29th ult., aged
95 years. He was well known to the past gen
eration as an accomplished clockmaker, and
many of his old-fashioned eight day clocks are
still in existence to bear witness to his skill as a
horologist. Time was when it was as neces
sary to have one of Willard’s clocks in a Mas
sachusetts family as it is now to have a piano
forte. Not many years since Mr. Willard
went round the country on a visit to ins old
clocks. Connected with them were reminis
cences of revolutionary times and men, and he
was welcomed by the descendants of his old
customers with cordiality and interest. What
changes he found! But there were the old
clocks ticking away as unconcerned as they were
the day cannon were booming on Bunker Hill.
What hours freighted with momentous issues
had those unresisting pendulums numbered!
The old clockmaker’s visits were at once
pleasant and mournful to his soul. Every
Bostonian must well remember the old estab
lishment on the Neck. Mr. W. after his long
dealings with Time, has now left him for Eter
nity. Peace to his blameless and honest memo
ry.—Boston Transcript.
