The Settlers' Hotel. WM, GAULT Pbofbietob. THE SETTLERS' Is itself again, and under the new proprietorship it is certain to be accorded its former PREMIER POSITION. Old platitudes as to Quality of Liquor, Accom moAution, Baths, etc., are not needed. SEE FOP. YOURSELVES. and note the following— Civility, Courtesy, and Careful Attendance. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. The Manufacturers of—- ‘ THE NEW CHAMPION ’ have introduced a— NEW PRINCIPLE IN MECHANICS. The Gearing of a Mowing Machine reduced to Two Cog Wheels, and only One of them Revolves.

THE NEW CHAMPION MOWER Is a Machine for cutting grass, that pos Besses peculiar points of excellence notfound on other mowing machines. The compli Gated mass of gear wheel'. that is found upon other grass cutters is conspicuous by its ab sence in this implement. The power to drive the cutting knife is derived from a pair of parallel toothed wheels that meet face to face, engaging fully one-third of the teeth at one time. By this mode of obtain ing power the greatest speed is obtained without injury to the heels or bearings, besides the press:--, ~ evenly divided that the wear upon these gear wheels is imperceptible. FULLY ONE-THIRD MORE POWER Is derived by this new movement than is obtained from the old style of bevel gear and spur pinon, besides the motion is directly transmitted to the knife, while fully one third of the power on the old-fashioned mowing machines is lost by friction while passing through the various gears, pinons, spur wheels, bevel gears, etc., before it reaches the cutters. SPECIAL POINTS OF EXCELLENCE Simplicity in construction. New mechanical gearing. Elevation of cutters while in motion. Patent foot lever to control finger bar. Direct hitch rod to lessen the draft. Independent gear wheels to cut right or left. Easy manner to dissect machine. Tilt lever for raising or lowering cut. Reliablepitmanconnection to knife heel The most convenient machine foxhandling. Strcng and positive cutting power, with out choking. Very light draft and well constructed. Th incwer is the recognised leader of grass implements. No expense has been spared in its construction to make it the strongest machine for the purpose required in the field. It is sold upon its merits. They have been so extensiivejy used throughout New England that further comment is tin necessary.
