Jects of the publishers without further efforts, yet they have determined to continue through the year 'THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER.

To any person who will get up a club of twenty-four subscribers, either at one or more postoffices, we will present a splendid Library, consisting of over Forty Large Bound Volumes, em bracing the most popular works in the market. The club may be formed at the club price, $2 a year, without the engraving, or at the full price. $3, with the engraving of the Last Supper to each subscriber. List and description of the Library, and specimen copy of the Magazine, will be forwarded on receipt of 25 cents. Over 200 Libraries, or 8,000 volumes, have already been distributed in accordance with this offer, and we should be glad of an opportunity to furnish a Library to every clergyman, to every school teacher, or to some one at every post-office in the country.

MAKING MONEY.

The success which our agents are meeting with is almost astonishing. Among the many evidences of this fact, we present the following from one of our agents already in the field:

"I have now been at work canvassing on your Magazine one week, and am delighted with the business. It is different from canvassing for anything else I ever tried. I am sure to get a subscriber in every family where they can rake together three dollars. I am never received with indifference anywhere, for the first thing I do is to unroll my engraving before I let anybody know what I am after, and thus I get them interested before they know what a splendid offer I am going to make them. Sometimes they ask my price for the engraving and I tell them 45, and when I offer them the engraving and Magazine one year for three dollars they are perfectly astonished. I did not get to going well for the first two or three days: The first day I got 2 subscribers; second, 7; third, 6; fourth, 18; fifth, 9; sixth, 17. The first week I got 54 subscribers. I shall do much better next week. It is the Engraving that does the business. Everybody wants the Engraving. You may calculate upon from one to two thousand subscribers from me this Winter. I am going to make enough out of the business to buy a farin in the Spring."

With such inducements as we offer, anybody can obtain subscribers. We invite every gentleman out of employment, and every lady who desires a pleasant money-mak ng occupat on to apply at once for an agency. Applicants sho ld inclose 25 cents for a specimen copy of the Magazine, which will always be forwarded with answer to application by return mail.

SPECIMEN ENGRAVING.

As we desire to place in the hands of every person who proposes to get up a club, and also of every agent, a copy of the engraving of "THE LAST SUPPER," as a specimen, each applicant inclosing us 8 will receive the engraving, post-paid by return mail, also specimens of our publications and one of the numbered subscribtion receipts, entitling the holder to the Magazine one year and to a chance in the distribution. This offer is made only to those who desire to act as agents or to form clubs. Address OAKSMITH & Co., No. 371 Broadway. New York.

THE NEW YORK STEAM SAW-MILL AND MACHINE COMPANY.

CAPITAL $250,000.

This Company has been organized with the above capital for the purpose of supplying the demand for the COMBINATION PORTABLE STEAM SAW-MILL, and other improved machinery. They have purchased the entire machinery business heretofore carried on by J. M. Emerson & Co., also the Montgomery works of Yonkers, on the Hudson, near this city, and with the experience and facilities combined in its organization are prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds at more liberal rates than has ever been offered at any other establishment.

THE COMBINATION SAW-MILL was patented October, 1856 and is now generally acknowledged to be the cheapest, most practical, and efficient lumber manufacturing machine in the world. A large number of hem are in successful operation in different sections of this country, Canada, Cuba, and South America, and wherever their merits have been tested they are being adopted by lumber manufacturers in preference to all other mills.

The following letter expresses the general opinion of those using the Combination Mill: Messrs. EMERSON & Co.-Gentlemen: I have tried the saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that it performs well, and more than meets my expectations. am well pleased with its performance. I set it up on a small stream that afforded constant water about as thick as my little finger, which was much more than sufficient to supply the boiler. We are able to cut 8,000 feet of beautiful lumber in 12 hours, with something less than one cord of wood. It is the very thing we have so much needed in our county for a long time. With a little trouble and expense, we are able to move it from five to ten miles per day, and set it up in the heart of the timber, which saves the great burden of hauling the logs a long distance to the mill. Yours, respectfully, JESSE KERR, JR., Louisville, Tennessee. The Company have purchesed LUND'S PATENT FEED ARRANGEMENT, which is illustrated and described in the Scientific American for October 24. This adds grea:ly to the efficiency of the mill.

THE COMBINATION MILL, with all the recent improvements, and steam power of 15 horses, is capable of sawing from 3,000 to 4,000 feet in twelve hours, and is sold for $1,650.

The New York Circular Saw Mill is manufactured only by this Company. It is of superior construction, and sold for 25 per cent. less than other mills of no greater capacity. A mill with 86 to 54-inch saw can be sold for $450 to $500, and with a 20 horse engine and boiler is sold for $2.200.

STEAM ENGINES and BOILERS; Engines from one to 100 horse power; LOCOMOTIVE, TUBULAR, FLUE and CYLINDER BOILERS furnished at greatly reduced prices from form

er quotations. Drawings, with plans and speci ications for buildings and machinery, furnished gratis to our customers. Competent mechanics are sent out to put up and set in operation our machinery, when required. We also manufacture SHINGLE MACHINES, PLA NING MA CHINES. SUGAR-MILLS, and Machinery in general. Special attention paid to getting up SHAFTING and PULLIES for manufactories, and all kinds of MILL-WRIGHT WORK.

This Company are selling in great numbers a PATENT CONICAL BURR-STONE MILL for flour, corn meal, and all kinds of feed, which is pronounced by experienced millers, both in this country and Europe, THE BEST MILL EVER CONSTRUCTED. It will grind more grain in the same time, and with half the power, of any mill of the same price in the market. We also furnish other styles of GRIST-MILLS, when required.

PUBLISH

WOOD'S CLASS BOOK OF BOTANY,
1 Vol. 12 mo, $1.50

WOOD'S FIRST LESSONS IN BOTANY,

16 mo, 50 cents.

WOOD'S CLASS BOOK OF BOTANY, has now been before the public more than twelve years, and from the first, has enjoyed the precedence over every other School Book of its kind: and its circulation last year, (1856) has exceeded that of any previous year. Its success may be chiefly due to the fact, that it was the first Botanical Work ever published in THIS COUNTRY, wherein analytical tables were reduced to a practically useful form. More recently, several Botanical Works have appeared, closely imitating the peculiar plan and arrangement of this, but originating nothing. The First Lessons are intended for young scholars, and the Class Book for more advanced students. Each is complete in itself, and this makes them the cheapest Botanical Text Book published.

The FIRST LESSONS will be sent to Teachers for examination with a view to introduction into their Schools, postage paid on the receipt of 45 cents; and the Class Book, on receipt of $1.00. MERRIAM, MOORE & CO., Publishers,
