NACHINC—One of Burgos. and Key's
reaping fachines was set to work on Friday last to
cut down a piece of oats belonging to Mr, 4, Look,
Where the corn was not laid, the machine did its
work to the entire satisfaction of all assembled to
witnues its operation, but it was very evident that
corn much blown about, growing on land not level,
or of dwindling growth, could not be satisfactorily
reaped by th 5 machine, as at present constructed.
Wheat being of stiller growth in the stalk than oats,
we can readily suppose that it would present a
stronger opposition to the knife of the machine than
corn having a finer or more pliable stalk, and there•
fore he more e fflaiently reaped ; but before this machine
will be adapted to cut down the various crops of the
farmer, it must have many improvements supple.
mented even to those which have brought it to its
present state of perfection. The better acquaintance
of fanners and their laboulers with the mechanical
detail of the machine will, no d,fubt, greatly facilitate
and increase its practical application. We believe
Mr, J. Shittler, of Bradford farm, has successfully
used such a machine for the last two or three years ;
but as this was the first introduced into the imme-
diate neighbourhood of Blandford, much curiosity
was manifested to witness its operations.

NATIONAL SCHOOL. —The annual gathering of the
pupils and teachers of this school and others con•
nected with the church took place on the lawn in
front of the Rev. W. Harte's house on Friday last.
From four to live hundred children and teachers sat
down to tea. The Hon. Miss Portman, Rev. It. Farqu.
harson and family, Mrs. Smith and family, and
many others of the nobility usually visiting the
schoola or interested in them were present. Eyers'
band was engaged, and, aided by pleasant weather
and the natural attractions of the rector's grounds,
drew a large number of respectable persons together
to witness the proceedings.
