SERIOUS AcClDEST.-John Hickman,
! 9 years Of age Of Moline while engaged in
pitching off load of hay on Monday last met
with a most serious accident. He was lifting
a heavy fork full into the stable when he
slipped from the walon, and fell on sharp
p int of one Of the stakes composing the rack
or body Of the wagon, inhcting a deep and ug.
" wound on the right side of the neck cross
ways one and one halfinches deep, perforotinp @
the wind-pipe. Dr. LANCER informs US that he
will probably recover.
This is but another Of those serious accidents
caused by sharp pointed strikes in hay wagons.
1t is the third instance within this section this
season. There i. no need whatever Of using
these pointed stakes. A plain rail on top Of
hay rack is the thing, and does away with ali
.cidens Of the above nature.
AN IMPORTANT MATreR-We ask attention 10

to derive us of il. and we must see that they
are tslked in their endeavors. Rock Island

that position the fault will be with the people.

Whew Brother Pickett, Amt you ashamed
of yourself to go on in this way? Don't try
to build up Rock Island by making prejndicIal
comparisons with Davenport. There are ten
cities within the scope mentic ned which are
away ahead of Rock Island and always will
be. All the efforts you can make will not keep
the Illinois farmers from selling wheat and
purchasing goods ext4 4nsively in this city.
TRIAL OF SHERwooD's GRAIN BINDER.
Vest. rdsy aft ernoon. according TO pre-
vious announcement, tria! of the celebrated
Grain Binding Machine, attached to a reaper,
came off at the farm of N J. Rusch in this
township As was anticipated, large number
of farmers attended the trial to ascertain with
their own senses the merits of this machine
which promises to do away with so much
hard labor and expense in the harvest field.
At about two o'clock the work commenced,
and progressed with the utmost satisfaction
with two exceptions:
First the wire used en- the occasion vas
not of the proper knd-being broon-wire-
which is too brittle for binding Annealed
wire, which is manufactured for the purpose,
does away entirely with the difficulty.
Secondly, the machine used on this occasion
vas imperfect with respect to portion Of the
machinery. This was known before the trial
commenced, but Mr.. Applegate, the proprietor,
had not time to get the proper fixtures before
the trial took place. Neither of these imper-
fections can be set down as objections to the
machine, which is, beyond all controversy.
perfect success, and an invention Of great i'm.
rortance, for instead OF being compelled to
hire fre men to bind grain after a reaper, it
requires only one, and thus eaving to the farm
er the full amount of from elk to eight dollars
per day.
After having seen the operation of this bind
er. We cannot but give it as our unqualified
opinion that it is precisely what the farmer
needs, and what every sensible one in the
country will possess at an early day. This
also, is the opinion Of older heads than ours.
1t will save the farmers Of Scott county thous.
ands Ct dollars every year.
Mr.. Vim. APplegate, of LeClaire, owns the
right Of this State. and will be prepared by
the next harvest, to fill all orders.
