AGRICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE.

TRIAL OF REAPERs AND MOWERS. The great
trial of machines for reaping and moving, under the
management of Col Wilder, President Of the United
States Agricultural Society, and other officers and
committees, commences to-day at Syracuse, In this
State-the moving machines to be in operation on
Tuesday, July IA.
We presume the attendance will be large OF parties
interested in selling machines and moderately 20 OF
farmers; though it is very busy time with all who
have hay or grain to cut or corn growing, as these
crops need their attention more than the machine
makers.
Among the new contrivances for reaping grain is
new sutomaton rsker, that can be attached to any
machine, which our correspondent thas describes:
The grain it falls upon the platform Of the reaper
is carried sidewise by endless apron, and reaches
series of wires bent into scmear shape and fastened
to q revolving axle by which grain enough to just
make shesf or gavel is caught as in cradle, and by
the simple revolution of the axle is dropped upon the
field He also says that the grass intended for trial is
full grown, and will be quite mature enough to COM
mence upon Tuesday, and the rye-feds sufficiently
mature by the time the Committee are ready to COM
mence operations after the grass is cut.

ARE WE TO LOSE OUR FRUIT TREEs7


The question that heads this article is very serious
one We published last year the saddenng informa-
on of the loss of whole orchards Of old apple trees in
Massachusetts,, and this year the comes 10 from
every part of the United States of dying, dead, or
badly diseased fruit trees Of oil kinds-not the exotics
lint the most hardy native varieties correspondent
IN the last number of The Homestead, writing from
CRANKY Conn.,, says.
"TLe hardest fruit trees wear blghted appear
anoe. English cherries and apples are dying out,
while spricots pears, and even peaches IN tue sane
e.nosed situations, endured the Winter well. hear
il sad that the trees killed by the hard Winter,
and If seems probable as the last Winter is written
the cold Winter. But why have not the least nardy
trees suffered the most Is it caused by some insect
unseen and unknown Or is the whole thing PLAIN 70
the scier c There was something s,u. H.
while the Isabella lived and did well In equany eA'
posed places
II. s. Beebe. who writes US under date of Peru, La
Sale County. ILL.,, July 2, for information how to Kill
the borers that are destroying the apple trees OF thet
vc;ny seys that unless remedy is soon discovered,
the raising Of apples must be given up as the trees
sill all be destroyed, except the few that may be
saved by the eternal vigilance Of these who watch
constantly and probe out the little destroyer. Mr..
peebc has tried ashes, soft soap, whtewashng etc.,
without any advantage and now begs any reader OF
THE TRIBUNE who can tell how to get nd OF these
worms to confer thai favor upon his felowsufferer.
In this city and vicinity not only the fruit but other
trees are deruded year after year Of foliage and they
do not die they will not bear fruit.
Last year, of all the Thousand Of barrels OF apples
brought here for sale, we think would have been
difficult, if not impossible, to find single barrel OF
fair. smooth, sound fruit And as to peaches We have
given up the expectation Of ever seeing again basket
full Of fruit such as was in years past before
the trees were afflicted by diseases which render it i'm
possible to keep speach orchard in bearing moro three
four years.
As yet we have not begun to realize the great loss
we shall suffer If the tree disease shall become a. uni
ye,sal as the potatoe disease has been.

ALLEGED WIFE POISONING CASE AT DAN

A horrible case of supposed wife poisoning
has just been revealed at Danville, caused by
the death, under suspicious circumstances, of
Mrs. Catharine Ann Clark, on Saturday last
1t having been ascertained that her husband
pudler, named William Clark, had purcha-
sed, on several occasions previously, both ar
senic and strychnine, in order as he alleged
to poison rats, and her sudden death soon af-
ter, suspicion Of foul play was Created
Clark was arrested and coroner's jury sum-
moned to investigate the cause Of her death.
A post-mortem examination was also held by
three eminent Physicians of Danville, the re-
suit Of whose investigations have not yet been
made public; although, it is asserted, the
physicians agree that her death was caused
by arsenic. They are now analysing the con-
tents Of her stomach.
The husband of Mrs. Twiggs died about
| three weeks since, under similar circumstan-
ces, and for certain reasons suspicion rests
upon her as being an accomplice Of Clark's-
She has been arrested. The body Of Mr.
Mr.. Twiggs will probably be disinterred fol
medical examination.
The public ic,'exctement isiutense TO ascertain
the result of the analyzation of the contents
of the stomach of the deceased. No verdict
has yet been rendered by the coroner's jury.
Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1857-05-16

Judge Davies, in charging the jury, carefully
analysed the testimony. The charge through
ont bore in favor Of the prisoner, and its
effects we're preceptible in the jury box.
During the whole time the court room was
crowded to excess. a large number of wo
men were present, who manifested the
greatest interest in the result.
The jury retired at o'clock in the evening
TO deliberate on verdict. The greatest ex-
citement prevailed in the neighborhood of the
court house. The court was thronged, the
stairways were packed close, and hundreds
were anxiously waiting about the door Of the
building. lolling on the'grass, or hanging on
the chains. At half-past the jury returned
verdict of Not Guilty"
The widest excitement prevailed in Court
and the applause from the present was deaf
ening. As soon as the verdict was rendered,
Mrs. Cunningham. and. her daughters, Au.
gusta and Helen, tainted. This caused an-
other wild scence, and it was with much
difficulty that the people could be prevailed
upon to give them air and room.
AS soon as they had sufficiently recovered
they were led on, sobbing as if their hearts
would break, and placed in carriage They
then returned to their home in Bond street
where large number of people had proceed
ed them
The verdict judging by the opinions of the
people in the streets tonight, gives genera
| satisfaction.
| After the excitement had somewhat subsi
ded on motion of j John Graham, Esq, John
j. Eckel was admitted TO bail in the sun
of $4,000 Of his own recognizance, and liberia
ted from prison. He is bound over to appear
at the Court OF Oyer and Terminer on the
18th inst, when it is believed a nolle prosequ
will be entered in his case.
