IS We ask the attention of on,

Is We ask the attention of our
readers to the advertisement in this issue, OF
Messrs. Nichols Shepard, Manufacturers OF
Threshing Machines, of Rattle Greek. Mich. These
Machines are very highly recommended BY all
who have used them, and it is represented that
they will do more work, and do it better and easier
than any machine now in use. The Messrs Cole,
writing to the proprietors from Climax, in reference
to this machine, says: The separation of the grain
from the straw is perfect, and we know that it is
impossible to carry over grain if the machine i.
properly run. 1t threshes as fast as any machine
can thresh, and it does it very easy. The mill
cleans all that the machine can thresh without
clogging, ana the grain leaves the machine fit for
market. We have no hestancy in pronouncing
your machine by far the best of any with which we
are acquainted.

FIREMEN's Vrsrr-Defiance Ensin

FIREMEN's VrsIT.-Deiance Engine
Company No. ., of Niles, accompanied by the Niles
Brass Band. visited this village on Monday last,
for the purpose Of becoming better acquainted with
the Hamilton" boys and testing the capabilities
Of our new engine. This company numbers some
fifty men, and are evidently picked Company
almost every man being above mediocrity in
strength and activity. They are all large, well
formed, fine looking men, and handled the brakes
in manner that showed them to be perfectly at
home on a machine, and elected the highest praise
from the by-standers. They presented very fine
appearance and attracted general attention Al
though their visit was somewhat unexpected. they
were received and well entertained by the firemen
Of this village, who, though taken by surprise,
were evidently determined to leave nothing I'M
done that would tend to make their guests feel per-
fectly at home, and render their visit source of
pleasure.
After partaking of dinner, prepared by "mine
host Of the Taylor House. the Company escorted
by the Hamilton boys. proceeded to the place pre-
pared for testing the machine. Owing to high
wind that was blowing at the time every one pres
emit was satisfied that fair test of her power on
distance could be had; as il was. with the wind
blowing directly against the stream, they attained
q distance of 2os feet through 200 feet of hose,
when the hose burst. Had it not been for this &C
cident we are satisfied that she would have thrown
at least 20 feet farther she was rapidly gaining
at each stroke of the breaks and it must have been
evident to all that the machine was not worked up
to its full capacity at any time during the trial.
At the end of the trial, the Niles Company ex-
pressed themselves highly pleased with the work
ing Of the machine, and competent judges stated
II as their belief that she fully equal to if not
oe''er than any engine of its size in the State.
from this trial, though it was not a. thorough as
eoui0 nave been wished, we are satisfied that our
nave every reason to feel proud of their en-
gine. everything during the day passed off in the
most happy manner, the Niles Company returning
nome early N the evening, and leaving pleasant
memory of this visit behind them.

A Noble Irish Girl.

The Ballymena Qreland) Observer, of the
Sd of June, records the story Of the doings
of an Irish girl, whose parents formerly re-
sided in the neighborhood of the town in
which that journal is published, substantially
as follows: Her father, VIM. McCord, a shoe
maker, and tenant of small farm near Bal
lymena, died in circumstances of pecuniary
embarrassment some years ago. AT the time
Of his death his liabilities amounted to nearly
f40, and his family were left without shil-
ling for themselves or any means for the
liquidation Of these debts. Soon after his
death, about the year 1853, his daughter, Ann
Jane McCord, then scarcely twenty years of
age, emigrated to America, where she OBJ
tanned employment as domestic servant.
Having from the outset determined TO pay
every farthing of her dead fathers liabilities,
she boarded the small earnings of her indus
try with the utmost care, and after six years
of incessant toll, her noble aspirations were
crowned with success-her ardent desire was
accomplished, and the grand aim of all her
self-sacri6cing exertions was fully achieved.
On the 9th of February last, she sent letter
from No. 90 West Twenty-fourth street, New
York, remitting to Mr.. James McCord, oi
Castlegore, bank order for the sum Of f40
to be distributed by that gentleman in pay
ment of her fathers debts. The aggregate
sum due was f34 3s. 3D.. In postscript she
| directed that one McHenry should be paid
5s. over the amount of his debt and that the
balance Of the remittance, f5 lis. 3d., should
be presented to her sister, Margaret Wilson
