tate said claim, and report to the Leg

on Wednesday. June 18th. Pursuant to
agreement he there met representatives
Of the Cauehnawaga aud St Regis In.

of information, and his collection of an.

matter of the Iroquois claim TO land,
which he had brought along with him,
was truly wonderful. He has spent

Great Trial OF Moving Machine,

OAOoe Aiiai VI hOWluS mdCnlneS.
A trial of Moving Machines. under
the direction of the Monroe County
Agricultural Society took place yester.
day afternoon on Judge Buell's farm, a
short distance west of this city. There
was present a very large concourse of
farmers from all parts of the county, rs
well as hundreds of spectators from this
city, all curious to witness so interesting
contest. The number Of vehicles
which lined the highways adjacent to
the field of operations, was variously es.
timnted from i've to eight hundred.
Eight different Machines were enter.
cd, viz;
Manny's Reaper aud Mower COM
bined Machine, with Woods improve
ment, by Mr.. Wood, of Hoosic Falls
Rensselaer, Co.
Woods Mower, with Manny's Patents;
also by Mr.. Wood.
Keichum's Mower by Howard &
Co. of Buffalo
ketchum's Mower and Reaper Com.
bined by Rapalje & Co, of Rochester.
Wheeler's Patent; firm Cayuga Co.
Forbush's Mower; from Buffalo.
Burrcll's Mower from Geneva.
Russell's Mower; entered by r. II.
Pease, Of Albany.
The ground chosen. large field just
north of Judge Buells house, was in all
respects unfavorable. Its surface was
uneven, and the grass short and thin d.
Tho performance of most of the Ma.
chimes. under such circumstances, failed
to satisfy the farmers present, who scru.
tinized it with critical and practised
eyes. 1t is not impossible, indeed it is
likely, that the result would have been
very different, had the test been more
fair, or less severe. But as it was, only
two of the Machines performed fair and
handsome work These were Manny's
aud ketchum's. Both moved WELL and
drew forth COMMUNICATIONS. But it was
evident that Manny's, with Woods i'm
provement, was the general favorite.
Not only was his work admirable, bat it
presented two peculiar and very impor-
tant advantages. Its ssath was wider
than that of any of its competitors, and
1t made good clean work, with much
slower motion of the team Rochester

noticed the crowd were generally very
attentive, every man exercising his right
of judging for himself Each specta.
