MANNY's MOVING MACHINE IN LowRLL.-
Yesterday afternoon, says the Lowell Nesos of
the LIST inst, there was quite crowd of all
sorts and conditions of men," on the North Com.
mon, to witness the operation of Mauny's NOV.
ing machine. The mower was first drawn by a
yoke Of oxen, and did poor work; but after the
managers Of it had begun to get the "hang" of
1t, 1t made very neat swath. The oxen were
then replaced BY pair Of horses, and the ma
chine continued for hours to work capitally The
city officials present were so we'll satisfied. that
they decided to buy the machine for the Poor
Farm, at price Of Sll5.
This is we believe, tue first trial Of a moving
machine in Lowell. There are, however. several
in that vicinity Mr.. Marsh Of Pelham. vino
comes daily to the Lowell market, has one, and
so have Capt. Fox, Ira Hall, Simeon Currief. and
one other farmer in Dracut. o. M. Whipple
Esq, Of Lowell, also has one. These are Of the
NANNY patent
mower Of a different make was used a while
ago in DIaeut, by Levi Sprague Of Lowell. and
sui another BY H. Trull Of Tewksbury, but we
are informed that they both failed. A NANNY
mower for one horse is now used In Dracut, and
gives satisfaction. These machines seem 70 be
coming into quite general use among us. With
the claims Of rival inventors we have nothing TO
do. We can only state that we have seen this
one cut smoothly and steadily through light red
top, heavy timothy, and lodged clover, without
clogging or dragging. The mover is also easily
changed to a reaper.
The Nanny machines are built in this city by
J. 7. Adriance. See Advertisement.

The CRops IN Essex CoUNrY.-vegetation
never made more rapid progress in our county
than it is now making. The successive rains
OF the last i've weeks, and the warm weather,

luxuriant growth; corn and potates look fine
lly apples, except where the oankcr worms

LAWS OF DIvoRcE.-We have thirtv-two
States, and there are almost as many different
Jaws of divorce as there are States. A para
graph is going the rounds OF the papers giving
an account OF the difference in the laws, but
it contains so many errors that it is of little
value. We believe it is nearly correct as re-
CARDS the following States -
In the States Of Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi, two-thirds of the legislature must
concur with decision by the court to make
a divorce.
In Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South
Carolina, Louisiana and Missouri, no divorce
can be granted but by special act of the legis-
lature, and South Carolina has never granted
divorce.
In Illinois, two years absence, only, is q
cause of divorce.
In Indiana, we believe, anything is cause
in the discretion of the court.

STRANGE CAsE.-At st. Louis, few DAYS
ago. Joseph King, book-keeper, was dis
charged by his employer on account of his
aissipated habits. On Thursday he purchased
some strychnine, called at Mr.. Gilman's store,
where he was acquainted, for tumber, say
ing he wantrd to get glass of lager beer to
drink with his dinner, which he wanted to
eat up stairs. The 81. Louis Democrat tells
the remainder:
He put the strychnine in the beer, and
drank half of the mixture. He then Law
down upon pile of leather in the loft and
went to sleep. After while the gentlemen
down. stairs, wishing to use the tumbler, sent
their porter, Patrick Burke up stairs after
the glass, Burke went up to where the glass
was placed, and seeing it half full of the lager.
which he knew King to have purchased, not
suspecting such thing as poison mixed with
i, and thinking King had got to sleep before
finishing the contents, took it up and drank
the remainder of the liquor. Returning
down stairs, he was shortly seized with
gripings and pains in the stomach, and, think
ing it the effect of the unwholesome atmos-
phere of the levee, anticipated an attack of
the cholera. He was Immediately taken to
his house, but not until three hours afterwards
was physician called in.
In the meantime, the parties at the store
OF Mr.. Gilman heard heavy groans, as of a
man in great distress, proceeding from the loft
above, and upon reaching the place, found
King upon the floor, writing in agony.
They soon discovered the facts in the case,
and in very few minutes Mr.. King was
taken to the Health Office. 1t is said that
the porter drank the greater quantity of poi
son, as he finished the glass, and therefore
got the very dregs, and that he cannot posi-
bly, survive. In all probability, ere this
paper goes to press, the parties will be no
longer among the living"

The frank and honorable manner in which
| the British government has diselaimed the Of
sensive right of search, a right not founded in
deed in reason or international law, yet long
| practically insisted upon, and not to be sur
rendered without some sacrifice of feeling
and prejudice, ought to call for a correspond
ing disposition on our side. The British gov
eminent, in effect, says to US, ave thought
that you were earnest in the suppression OF
the slave trade; presuming upon that we
| have directed our naval commanders to visit
vessels chat they had reason to suspect were
abusing your flag. Recently they have ex-
| ceeded their instructions, and we gave them
immediate orders to discontinue the offensive
conduct. Since you deny the whole right of
search and of visit, we admit the onable-
ness OF your denial, and will no longer as
sumo that you waive your objection, even
when the right is exercised in good faith and
for good purpose. Henceforth, the duty
OF protecting your flag from the shameful
abuse to which it has been subjected, deyoiyes
upon you"
There can be no doubt of what we ought
to do under such circumstances. We should
carry out, in good faith, the stipulations into
which we have entered for the suppression of
the slave trade We should send our own
cruisers into the Gulf, not to annoy our law
full commerce. but to prevent the piratical
abuse of our flag. We should operate
cordially with the English and any other
government in the work of Kidding the seas
of these enemies of the human race. Self
respect demands that we should punish our
own malefactors, that we should neither dele
gate that duty to others nor allow the Offend
ers to escape.
The Washington Union, in announcing the
settlement of the question, claims the credit
OF it for the administration. This is as cool
as anything that we have laIely seen, even in
politics. 1t has already been suggested that
the dispatches from Mr.. Cass to Lord Napsr,
suggesting the removal of the British fleet
from the coast of Africa to Cuba, was the real
cause of the change which had taken place
IN the British policy. This is confirmed by
the statement of Lord Palmerston, who said,
in the course of the debate on this subject, in
Parliament, that the change in the scene of
operations OF the fleet had been made in com
piance with the wish of the American gov
ernment.-PyOvidenc Journal
