its friends, premium of 500 for the best tract
upon the subject specified in the following
communication. The same society offers an

below
The committee appointed to award "a pre-

nished by ISAAC ALLEN, Oberin, Ohio, as
presenting the Scriptural argument most clear
ly and vigorously upon the subject. The
larger number of manuscripts presented 1857
has not only delayed the decision, but render
ed it difficult to satisfy their own minds as to
the particular one that should receive the prize
There are several of great merit, and well
worthy of publication, which are more full and
satisfactory on some points, than the one Sc
lected, although as presentation of the simple
testimony of Revelation, they have given the
preference to this.
AS the most of the manuscripts are accom-
panied with sealed envelopes, owners of the
same, by writing to Dea. l. Washburn, Wor-

scripts by the titles, will have them returned to
such post office address as they may direct.

passed in usefulness, if those whose duty
it is to collect the facts will but exert

they will do this, so that our Vermont

EaWkeS' Steam Pillow,

Another trial has been made with the Steam
Plow the operation of which is described by
the special correspondent of the N. Y. Trabun
of July 9th, as follows -
The land on which the pillow was tried or
wednesday is at Oxford Park, the trottng course
about nine miles from Chestnut street Pbila
delphia. The soil is a moderately heavy clay
loan, with good share of mcaceous particles
mingled through it, 1t was covered with ar
OLD rather light sod, and was in fine condition

grees and the surface was mainly smooth

could Judge, all went away satisfied that the
Fawkes machine was all that its inventor had
claimed. We believe now that we have a ma
chine III principle perfectly competent to plow
the vast prairies of the West, and capable of
being used to thresh and perform other offices
on the farm.
The n. Y. Tribune of later date adds the fol-
lowing:-An opening for the steam pow.-We
are credibly informed that large farmer at the
West has offered to employ Mr. Fawkes to
plow one thousand acres of land paying him the
usual price SO per acre and to give him fur
ther opportunity to thrash the crop of two thou
sand fye hundred acres of wheat This offer
should be accepted; if the new steamplowing
engine proved itself capable of doing its work on
so great scale and in workman like manner,
it would be one of the greatest ACHIEVEMENTS OF
the age, would Immediately open market for
the machines, and thus insure a large fortune
foI the Inventor.
