Il We are informed that the Kirby ma
Shine manufactured by A. S. Clark, of this
place, sustained its noted reputation as a
Reqper at the trial in Charestown on Mon
xhy last. Only one other machine made
Ny attempt at competition, and that was
xon drawn one side. The superiority Of
BE Kirby machine was universally ac-
knowledged, and the work done by it much
handsomer and grain gathered cleaner than
could be done with scythe, cradle or sickle.
The attention of those who have occa-
sion to use cut-feed for stock is invited to
the advertisement of VIM. Stone, in our
columns to-day. we have witnessed the
pperation of bis machine, and much
pleased with it. One of the best things
about it is, it is impossible for the operator
10 get his fingers under the knife.
The young girl, Of whose injury from
burning alcohol at the Weeselhmft Water
Cure we made meotion last week, died on
Friday morning, goth inst, in great distress,

The Fire Engine has at last arrived
II presents very handsome appearance,
nnd we should think by the build that 1t
Mould do good execution. 1t is one OF
Hunneman's best. Now all we have got
X. do is, to get our company out as often as
convenient, and "get the hang of the school
house" and then we shall be ready for fire.
p. S. Since writing the above we have
been warned and attended meeting OF the
engine company. The engine was taken
from Mr.. Flint's barn down TO the canal,
and placed just below the bridge which
leads over TO the grist-mill, where they had
Eve short trials which were as follows LIST
the hose came up just back of Adams &
Hapgood's store and played up on TO the
caves; 2d--played from 80 to 80 feet over
the building 3rd--took the hose straight
up the bank and played on Mrs. fuckers
house, playing far above the trees; 4th-
had two short trials with fifty feet of hose.
All of the above passed off entirely salts
factory. The engine was then taken back
Through several streets to Mr.. Flinfs barn,
where it was voted to meet again on Tues
day evening next, at a quarter before z
o'clock. We hope the company will all try
be present.
We have received pretty fair specimen
Of tall grass-herds grass-sent us by Da-
va Danforth of Saxton's River. The
longest stalk measures over six feet We
Mould judge by this that our early drouth
gould not have injured the grass crop much
BOT the fine rains we have had must have
orwarded them to great extent
The Library sales did not amount to
1nything, because they had no authority to
sell the shares.
G. w. Smith of Saxton's River. while
assisting the Slater on the house of Z. r.
Osgood, moving the staging boards, on
Monday morning, was knocked off and fell
20 the ground, about 20 feet, on a picket
fence. 1t seems that he had board in his
Aands when he fell which prevented the
qickets from entering his body, and there
fore escaped with few bruises and the dis
