The Trial of Mowing Machines.
A most beautiful and auspicious day greet-
ed the hosts of interested inventors and farnv
ers who congregated here on, Tuesday last to
witness probably one of the most extensive
trials of patent mowing and reaping machines
ever exhibited in this county. The committee
finding that thcfieldkindly proffered them by
Earnest Krmgcr on the estate of Mrs. L. “-
Stevens, to be entirely too small for the lord‘3
number of machines entered, changed the 10-
cation to the large meadow near the residence
of Carmi Lockwood Esq., belonging to Mr.
Avery Smith. The scene here presented was
one of the rarest interest .
The whole surfaCe of‘that immcnsc‘ficld was
dotted over with these frightful looking things
while an eager multitude followed them in
their rapid progress through heavy swaths
left behind. We found our time so prc-occu_
pied, that we were unable to form any opin-
ion of onr.owu respecting the merits or do
merits of the respective instruments, and are
thereforecontent to hinge our preferences up_
on that of the Committee, whose report we
annex. Of one thing however. we were fully
convinced from the general or pressions of sut-
isf'action we heard from those interested in
their practical working—the time has truly ar
lived, as suggested by the Committee, when-
the head-aches, the back-aclicg, and the heart
I aches too~—of the old scythe and south are at
an end. The world moves, and why shouldn’t
he Farmer move with it.
' Committee's Report.
NORWALK, J nnc 28th, 1859.
There were thirteen .machincs entered
for exhibition, eight of them 1.0 be worked
with two horses and five with one horse.‘
The names of the two horse mowers were
as follows ;.Tlie Buckeye, Kctclium’s,(as
improved in 1859,)Manny’s, Allen’s, Hir-
by’s, ll’ood’s, Nishwitz, ortllc Champion
Mower, and Galcs’. All of them did
.-
’A.
‘ they-f work well, with the exception of
Gales, but we give the preference to the
Buckeye machine. It runs quiet and ca-
' sv, is adapted to uncvcu ground, is not
liable to clog, is very easily arranged to
move from field to field, and in our opin~
ion stands A No. 1.
The Ketchumg’s improved is a very
simple machine, does its work well, the.
finger-bar being in a line with the wheels,
enables it to cut alike in low places or
over ridges, and is from thnty to twen-
ty-fivc per cent. cheaper than most other
machines, and we class it as second best.
Manny’s is good machine, has an
easy draught, with the advantage of a
reel, which they claim is a great help
in tall grass when the wind blows, and
we class it as third best.
Allen’s, \Vood’s, Kirby’s, and Nish-
witz’s, each did their work well, and
each claim their superiority in some points
over others.
The names of the one-horse machines,
were Kctclinm’s improved, .h'laniiy’s, Kir-
by’s, Wood’s, and Nishwitz’s. These are
all on the same principal as their two-
horsc machines, and do their work
well. We recommend them in the same
order as above named.
Kctclium’s Patent; can be changed so
as to be used either by one or two horses
on the same machine.
Your Committee regret very much that
we had no instrument to test the draught
of the different machines.
The ground selected for mowing was
rather a loose. sod with small stones on
the surface ; but the machines generally
passed over them without injiii". The
grass was generally light, but large
enough in some places to satisfy the com-
mittee that the day for mowing grass with
a scythe is past. The ground had also
been top—dressed with long mannre,but it
didnot prevent their making good work.
The Society had not advertised for a
reaping exhibition, so there were only
three machines prepared, two of them
were Kirby’s Patent, one for two horses
and the other for one horse. The other
reaper was llishwitz’s Patent, and all
were combined machines as mowers and
n
w
. reapers.
Both of the Kirby machines cut the
- grain well and left it suitable for binding.
The grain cut was rye and very green
We are aware that in so short a time
it is, impossible to examine every point in
every machine, but we submit the above
as according to the best of our judgment.

Mrs. Bishop’s Readings.
The selectfew who doubtingly and tremb-
lingly wendcd their way to Plimnix Hall last
Wednesday evening, under the combined dis-
couragcmcnts ofexccssive heat and the pros-
pect ofa terrible thunder storm,to hear a lady
comparatively unknown to fame, were hardly
prepared for the rare treat,or the richer sur-
prise which there awaited them. We do not
know when we have been more impressed and
affected by the power of the human voice.
To say that Mrs. B. is a fine, chastc,nnd beau-
tiful reader and deliniatcr of ideas and char-
actcr,is but faint praise. There is a sentiment
gushing out ofcvcry tone and expression. so
rcal,so alive,and throbbing with emotion that
you lose sight of the fair reader, as you forget
yourself, and are all absorbed in the inspira.
tions of the author. If ever there was music
in a voicc,Mrs. B. has it, and yet so childlike
and a tlcss does she seem, and so free from all
alfcctations of manner or speech, that the
bearer is unwittingly charmed into a sort of
bewitching ciichaiitment. We speak of Mrs.
Kcmble, Mrs. Kimberly and the like, as ladies
of lalenlJJnt we choose to designate Mrs. B. as
a lady of genius.
So charmed were the audience with her ef-
forts last week that an impromptu committee
of citizens waited upon her during the recess
of her recitatious, and begged her to repeat.
the entertainment, when a larger number of
our citizens might be brought together to lis~
ten to her. She consented, after some hesita-
tion, upon the pledge being extended that
the personal efforts of those present would be
put forth to secure for her an audience worthy
of her character and attainments. The un-
nouncement of her having so consented wasrc-
ceivod by the audience with the most hearty
applause. She is to repeatlhcr reading them-
fore, this week, on Wednesday evening. with
a change of programme, and we here autho-
rize any man who may be induced to attend
her entertainment upon what we have said,
who may come away without. thanking us in
his heartl‘or having directed his attention
thither, to draw upon us at sigct, for all the
money he may have expended. W'- da hope
our citizens of refinement and tastc,\vill do
themselves and their families the very great
pleasure of being at Phenix Hall, Wednesday
Evening.

Ma. Burrow—Being at New Canaan yester-
day. I happened to come across a number of
your paper of the 7 th. My attention was cal-
led to an editorial under the head of doctor-
ing animals. I really think sir, that your re-
marks are most sensible. I was led to reflect
on the subject and with you,ain.fully satisfied
that many a valuable animal is doctor-ed
out of existauce by ignorant, pretentious in-
div' uals, but if it is so detrimgntul t0 ape
poisonous agents for the removal of disease in
animals of the quadruped species,how much
more important it should be to use agents in
the removal of disease in the human race,
that instead of poisnous agents, such means
should be resorted to that we know from the
best experience to act most in accordance
with common sense. If in the language of
Professor Clark, we do not know how medi-
cines do act upon the system, certainly it
shows conclusively that those who use agents
poisnous at that, who do not know the action
of them on the system, must be put down as
the verriest quacks, and dangerous in the ex-
treme. If the people will not exercise com-
mon sense in medicine, but in almost every
case indiscriminately in times of being attack-
ed by disease,send for a doctor and suffer him
to prescribe the most deadly drugs and no
questions asked, we must not wonder, any we
need not, that, so many must suffer a broken
down constitution and in many cases find a
premature grave. If we can look for no better
results in the removal of diseaseiu the human
species than of that in the cow or the horse.
Let the people arise and assert their right to
know what they give them when sick and
not believe all that is told them by ignorant
quackg, ansrc.

Curious Freaks of Lightning.
Wns'rron'r, J une 30th, 1859.
During the severe Thunder Storm of Wed-
nesday evening last, the house of Mrs. Jere-
miah Allen, in this town, was struck by light-
ning. It seems that the Electric Fluid came
down the chimney, shattering it to pieces.—
It then visited every room in the house,
tearing off the wall. A mantle shelf was
thrown out of a window; a cooking stove was
forced by it, into another room. Although
the bed clothing was torn to atoms by it, it
did not take fire. What seems stranger still,
none of the family were at all injured or felt
the effects of it except Mrs. Allen, who had
lain down. The lightning tore her shoes off
without otherwise injuring her except merely
'cfiusing her feet to smart a little.

A Great Literary Curiosity—We are in-
debted to the publisher, Geo. Roberts, 12 and
lit Spruce Street, New York, fora copy of his
great illuminated “Quadruple Constellation,”
which he hasjust issued. It‘is decidedly a
great curiosity, being the largest sheet of pa-
per e or made and printed. It measures 70x
100i hes, and contains 8 pages of 13 col-
umns each, and each column 48 inches long.
Four pages are largely occupied by large eu-
graviugs and portraits of distinguished per-
sonnges, and the whole paper is full of'uovel-
cttes, stories, poetry, lectures, sketches, es-
says, &c., including the celebrated " Moon
Hoax,” published 24 years ago in the N. Y.
Sun, and the conclusion of “ Hagar,” from
where it left off in the regular Constellation.
The reading matter is all in small type, and
the publisher says there is in it six numbers of
Harper’s Weekly, or fifteen N. Y. Ledger's.—
We stepped into the office ,in Spruce Street
last week, and were much pleased to see the
operation of printing the mammoth sheet.

Axornrn Sruansmr Lesa—Telegraph
from 'l‘repassey Buy, Newfoundland, an-
nounce that the fine steamship Argo,
which left New York last Thursday week
bound for Galway, Ireland, went ashore
in a dense fog at 5 A. M., of Tuesday,
and vessel cargo and lugago were likely
to prove a tdtal loss. The passengers,
some 200 in number, with all the crew
have saved their lives but lost their lug-
gage. The Argo was a fine ship only 4
years old, of 2500 tons registers divided
into five water-tight compartments, insur-
ed at Loyd’s for a large sum, and in all
respects a first class ship. The passen-
gers were disposed. to complain of bad
management by the officers of the ship ;
but the fogs are so dense and the coast
so dangerous that excuses for the discs-
ter will be readily manufactured. It is
said that the Argo went ashore almost
at the very place where, some four or five
years ago, the British steamship City of
Philadelphia was lost, and only a little to»
the westward of the spot where the Arc-‘
tic foundered in 1854. The Argo. was
an Al propeller of 2240 tons register,
built in 1855 for the Peninsular and On-
ental Steamship Navigation Company,
and capable of carrying 1000 passengers.
This was her first trip to America liavmg
but lately beeh purchased by the Atlan-
tic Steam Navigation Co. She was iii-
sured in England for her value of about
$400,000. .
Our Naturallzed Citizens Abroad.
In reply to an inquiry from A. V: 110-
for of Cincinnati, Secretary Cass writes a
letter, of which the following is the mate-
rial portion : .
In the instructions which we sent to
him, (the U. S. Minister to Prussia) da-
ted'May 12, 1859, was explbitly stated
that this Government is opposed to the
doctrine of perpetual allegiance and main-
tuins the right of cxpatriatiou and the
right to form new political ties elsewhere.
Upon this subject it is observed that “ in
this age of the world, the idea of control-
ling the citizen in the choice of a home,
and binding him by a more political the-
ory to inhabit for his life time a country
which he constantly desires to leave, can
hardly be entertained by any government
whatever.” The position of the United
States as communicated to the minister
at Berlin for the information of the Prus-
sian Government, is that native born
Prussiaus,uaturalized in. the United States
and returning to the country of their
birth, are not liable to any duties or pen-
alties except such as were existing at the
pegiod of their emigration. If at that
time they were in the army, or actually
called into it, such emigration and natur-
alization do not exempt them from the
legal penalty which they incurred by their
desertion; but this penalty may be en-
forced against them whenever they shall
be proceeded against according to law.
But when no present liabilities exist
against them, at' the period of their emi-
gration, the law of nations, in the opinion
of this Government, gives no right to any
country to interfere with naturalized
American citizens, and the attempt to do
so would be considered an act unjust in
itself and unfrendly towards the United
States. This question cannot, of course,
arise in the case of a naturalized who re
mains in the United States. " It is only
when he voluntarily returns 'to his native
country that its local laws caubc enforced
against him.
A number of the naturalized citizens of
New York, on the 11th ult.,=~uddresscd a
Virginia, then in that city, asking his
views on the lciter of Secretary Cuss.—-'
Mr. Botts answers, taking the ground di-
rcctly opposed, and summing up his ar-
gument as follows :
“My views on this question may be
thus summed up : When one, plants him-
self under the wing of the American Ea-
gle, which he is pledged and sworn to
support and defend; when he enrols his and
name upon the ample folds of the Stars
Stripes of this great American Union, he
is free to go wherever the winds and waves
may carry him ; the eye of that Eagle
watches over his every step, that flag
waves proudly over his head whether he
is upon land or water, in a. palace or a
dungeon ;' and the power that daresto in-
tcrfcre with his personal liberty whilst he
is engaged in lawful eiiterprisc,,aiid not
offending against the criminal or penal
code of that power, dishonors that Eagle
and disgruces that flag to which be ap-
peals for deliverance if it does not afford
him prompt relief and redress.”

ed nud in about three days had real es-
tate converted into money, without step-
father knowiug aiuthiug of the matter.—
Haviug converted real estate into money
step-sons started for the West leavmg
stepfather to " grin and bear it” as beat
he can. Stepfather having put all his
prOperty out of his hands, now finc’him-
self without sufficient funds to go In pur-
suit of step-sons. It now looks as if step-
sons had sold stepfather, and got step-
father into a tight place. Stepfather be-
gins to think that he might better have
settled with his creditors. In endeavor-
ing to be “ smart.” he has reduced himself
to two shirts and u boot-jack.

lice have obtained knowledge of the ex-
istence in that city of an organized co-
hort of Thugs, who cntrap the unwary
linto certain dens, and there murder them
for the booty on their persons, and after.
wards endeavor to conceal their crime by
putting the bodies in the river. The
alarming prevalence of dead bodies in the
North and East rivers is attributed to
the doings of these villains.

which the Austrians have experienced is
the impossibility of getting accurate infor-

in conducting the campaign.

Crossing Magma River on a Rope.
din successfully accomplished the terrific
undertaking of crossing the Niagara Riv-
er on a tight rope, at a height of one
hundred a fifty-one feet above the rushiu
torrent below. As a mere foolhardy ex-
ploit, this feat- lias seldom been equalled,
and as an exhibition of nerve it stands
without a paralell. The most daring per-
formers on the tight rope have never at-
tempted anything approaching the perfor-
mance of M. Blondin’s in difficulty in dan-
ger. It is true that dangerous ascensions
have been made from the ground to the
tops of lofty spires, or masts of vessels,
and that crossings have been successfully
attempted from the top of one high build-
ing to another, upon a single rope, but
all these exploits fade into insignificauce

ment. The single rope looked like a mere
thread spanning the great chasm, which
is eleven hundred feet wide and one hun-
dred and fifty feet deep. Through the
bottom of the abyss the N iaguru River.
at that place of an unknown and unmeas-
urable depth, rushes along with furious
swiftuess to the whirlpool below, the
slightest misstep of the- foolhardy adven-
turer would have hurled him from his pre-
carious footing, and he would have disap-
peared from mortal eyes until his mangled
body shouldbe picked up below, proba-
blyin Lake Ontario. But this catastro-
phe did not enter into the calculations of
M. Blondie ; he did not propose to fail ;
he had stretched his rope across the river
to walk across and not tumble from, and
the result proved that his dependence on
his self-possession and sure-footedness was
not misplaced.
M. Bloudin is a Frenchman by birth,
and has been for several years familiar to
the inhabitants of the principal cities in
America as a public performer, and his
marvellous feats on the rope have been
the wonder of all who have beheld them.
At precisely half-past four o’clock, M.
Blondie appeared in the pleasure garden,
where the American end of the rope was
fastened. There was a short tight rope
erected herein, upon which the during
Fijeuchmnn mounted and Went through
many of his graceful and most pleasmg
fonts, to the great admiration of the spec-
tators. He was dressed in the dress usu-
ally worn by acrobats and public gym-
nasts, viz : pink tights, buckskin mocca-
sins, and Spangled tunic of yellow silk, be
was bareheaded, without even the ‘fillet
of white satin that is frequently weru.
At 15 minutes past5 he stepped upon
the large rope, where be convened a few
minnteawith his friends in the most» cool
and unconcerned manner, having appur-
eutly no more doubt of his successfully oc-
complishiug this undertaking than he had
of attempting it. As he stood for a. min~
ute on the rope, before stepping out, he
addressed the crowd as foliows:
“ Gentleman, any one as please to
across, I carry him on my back.”
No one seemed. disposed ,to accept
the kind offer, and having joked a few
minutes longer, be, at last started on his
perilous journey. He walked rapidly and
firmly, as if he had been on abridge,
until he chose to stop to indulge in some
gymnastic evolutions for a few minutes.
He balanced himself on one leg, sat down
and laid down at full length on the rope,
then, recovering himself, he walked to the
middle of the river,wbere he again stopped
to accomplish yet another feat not down
in the bill. Here. standing on the rope,
with as much indifference as if it was a
solid platform, he deliberately lowered a
small line to the little steamboat, the
“ Maid of The Mist,” that had steamed
out to that point; t the line was at-
tucbcd a. bottle of w e by the captain of
the boat, and the bottle being drawn up
by the adventurer, he opened it, and ma~
king a comprehensive bow to both crowds
on the sides of the river, he drank the
health of all present, then throwing the
bottle into the river, be walked on, stop-
ping no more until he reached the Canada
side. He was exactly nineteen minutes
crossing the river, including steps. On
his arrival on the Canada shore, he was
cheered vociferously. He waited here
about half an hour, when he prepared to
return. At 6:42 he stepped on the rope
to commence his return passage. He
rested but once, lying down on the rope
for two minutes, and accomplishing the
return trip in eight minutes.
As soon as he reached the shore, the
shouts and cheers were almost deafening.
M. Bloudin, having been permitted an in-
stant for refreshment, was seized by the
enthusiastic crowd and placed on their
sliouldcrs'and born about in triumph.—
was then placed in a carriage and escort-
ed tbrough all the principal streets of the
village, the crowd throngiug' him on all
sides, and cheering in the wildest manner.
He did not appear very much exhausted,
and manifested no more four or nervous-
ness than any ungymnastic novice would
at eating his breakfast. He announces
his determination to repeat his feat at in-
tervals during the Summer,
Thus was successfully accomplished one
one of the most daring‘and useless feats
that even this that age has ever witnessed,

Loosing all—A Family scene.
A few years ago a merchant failed in
business. He went home one evening in
great agitation.
“What is the matter asked his wife.
“ I am ruined ; I am beggared. I have
lost my all i” he exclaimed, pressing his
hand upon his forehcudus if his brains
were in a whirl.
" All?” said his wife ; “ I am left.”—
All papa said his little girl ruuuius up
and putting her arms around his neck.”
"' I’m not lost pupa, repeated Eddie.”—
"A nd you have your health” said his who
“ And your feet papa,” to carry you
about. “ And your two eyes to see with
papa,” said little Eddie.
“ And you have God’s promise,” said
grand-mother.
“ And a good God,” said his wife.
“ And a Heaven to go to,” said his
little girl. '
“And a Jesus to come and fetch us
there,” said the oldest.
“God forgive me," said the poor mer-
chant, bursting into tears. “ I have not
lost my all.” What are the few thou-
sands which I called my own to these
more precious things which God has left
me," and he clasped his family to his bo-
som, and kissed his wife and children with
a. thankful heart.
Ah no, there are many things more
precious than gold and bank stock, volu-
uble as these may be in their place.—
When the Central American was found-
eriug at sea, bugs and purses of gold
were strewo about the deck, as worthless
as the moi-est rubbish. “ Water water,
was the prayer—“ Bread 7” it was worth
its weight in gold, if gold could have
brought it.
The loss of property must not cloud
the mind with a wicked forgetfulueas of
the great blessings which are left behind.
No man should despair, for no man has
lost his integrity, lost. the mercy of God
and lost his hope of heaven at last.

Gentlemen and 1211010 Member: :—'l'hcre are times in
our lives, when the emotions of the heart find but a
poor expression in the utterances of the “pin—and sure
I om, no language at my command, can adequately con-
vey to you the feelings which your generous conduct
has served to awaken.
To me, this is indeed I. rod-letter day—not for the
beams of the hour, although beyond all my deserving ;
but for that mere precious esteem and regard, which by
this token, without distinction of party, are now as-
ilured to me.
No meet return can I make for this expression of
your good will : but, whatever of respect and esteem
may, on your part, have grown out of our relation and
contact here, believe me, when I soy, that they are as
deeply felt and so fully reciprocated on my own.
Your gift though of rare beauty and value in itself, is
a thousand fold more valuable in its present signifi-
cuonce ; and still further have you enhanced its worth
in the mode of its presentation—coming as it does
through the hundo of one to whom genius and eloquence
are a birth-right ; and whose high culture places him
in the front rank to the gifted and honored of our State.
I thank you for the gift ; I thank the gentleman, for
the graceful and impressive manner in which he has
conveyed to me your continents, whose esteem it rep-
mentn. '
Iaccept it grontfully, I accept It heartily, and shall
ever cherish it on o memento, which It will be my pride
to preserve and hand down to those who oholl hear my
names, . ‘ -
In after years, when memory, in her reflective mood:
shall delight to return and dwell upon some of tho oase-
of life. to me there will be no spot more green and re-
freshing under the auspices of this closing hour, may I
not hope that your reminiscences also, will herewith
call up agreeable and pleasant associations.
In putting, my good wishes will go with you fund, it

er, fill] it be to renew and ripen luto friendship an
acquaintance now so pleasantly begun; if otherwise,
and to any friendly and familiar face, our separation

A Wife's Duty.
Every wife knows her husband’s income
or ought to know it. That k ledgg
should be the guide of her :coudndzt.‘ A
clear understanding respecting domestic
expense is accessory to the peace of every
dwelling. If it be little. “ Better is a
dinner of herbs where 10 ' is, than o
stalled ox and hatred therewith.” If it
be ample let it be enjoyed with all thank-
fuluess. We believe that partners in pri-
vation are more in wealth. Those who
have. suffered together love more than
those who have rejoiced together. Love
is “ the drop of honey in the draught of
gall.” When the wife, seeing her duty.
has made up her mind to this, she will
brighten her little home with smiles that
make it a. region of perpetual sunshine.—
She will never even imply a wish for-1t
things which are the appendages of wealth
She knows they could only be purchased
at cost from which she turns shuddering-
ly.. Following, with the acutcness of I
quickened affection, every turn of her
husband’s thoughts, if you should see that
he leans toward the world’s good things;
that he gives orders to the wine merchant
buyound the bonds of their’euforced teln-
peratc indulgence—that city luxuries are
sent home to her ; then let her bestir for
his safety and her own, for they are indis-
solately united, If he bring her home
oxpeusuo boxes of swcetmeats, half a
dozen packages of French gloves ; then
let her remember that these things are
the gentleness of love powerful arguments
of truth, let her win him back to content-
ment with the lot that Heaven has be-
stowed, and so forcing him to acknowl-
edge that its best blessing is his wife.
