TRIAL OF REAPERS NEAR WASHING

On THURSDAY, June "a.
WAsHrNoToN, June 10, 1876

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1852.
HAVING been informed by Filzhugh Coyle,
esq.,, proprietor of the National Agricultural
Warehouse in this city,) that G.. w. Young. esq
(whom have never known or seen) desired TO
purchase reaper if it could be set to work and
its operation pleased him. it has occurred to me,
and have been advised, that more convenient
and favorable opportunity for exhibiting the oper
alton of the reaper to the people of Washington
including members of Congress, who are respect
fully invited, and many of whom, it is thought,
might be disposed to witness the exbibiuon--and
be presented, than would be afforded at the we'll
known and highly cultivated farm of Mr. Young
situated, as have been informed, opposite to the
Arsenal, south side of the Eastern Branch OF the
Potomac three or four miles from the clty-cross-
ing the Eastern Branch bridge, with good road
to the spot.
And, by way Of adding TO the interest of the
occasion, have thought proper, and have leave
respectfully to propose, that Mr.. Hussey VIII
also be present with his machine on the day APP
pointed by Mr.. Young, with Mr.. Coyle, as
above,) who proposes to furnish every requisite
facility for the trial Of the machines, and to-
purchase the one with which he shall be the most
pleased, should either suit him. And further
suggest that committee. appointed in any fair
manner, for the purpose of drawing and reporting
upon comparison Of the two machines, would
meet my appreciation. And further, that, for the
purpose of testing the respective capabilities of
the two machines in cutting damp wheat, they be
unon the ground the night previous, so as to be
set TO work while the dew is on in the morning.

ment in the Charleston Is. c } papers, OF the an
nual mortality in that city, gives some interesting
statistics tending to show that, as general thing,
there are more instances ofdeaths at an advanced
age among the blacks than the whites. The total
number of deaths in Charleston for the year end
ing May, 1852, was 922, of which 533 were blacks,
and 3S9 whites. Ofthe blacks, ten were upwards
of one hundred years of age at the time of death,
and ten were between ninety and one hundred
OF the whites, none over one hundred; only
three were over ninety. Of the total deaths, only
So less than one-sxteenth--d died of consumption.
In New York, the deaths of that disorder average
nearly one-fflh Of the whole number.
