Reaper e Mo,osr Trirl.- By reference to
the notice published this week, by the COM
mittee, it will be seen that the great
trial of Reapers and Mowers provided for by
the County Agricultural Society, is to take
place on Thursday of next week, the 31st
inst Under the influence Of the late drouth,
it has been hard for the committee to find
suitable fields Of grain and grass in which to
try the merits of the several machines, and
it was thought at one time the Trial should
be postponed entirely but it was finally de-
cided that it should take place, notwith-
standing the drawbacks. Those interested
should see that the occasion is made one OF
sufficient interest to attract competition.

Death of another KenOShha Boy.

hattie Of Kenesaw Mountain, Ga, EDWIN L.
VINEGAR, June 9th, 1864, aged l6 years and
3 months He was the son of Samuel C.. and
Eliza A. Vinegar. Of this city, He was model
boy, and an earnest, living christian: as all his
soldier comrades, as well his lettsrs, bear tes-
timony.
Although but young in years, the spirit of pa
triotism burned with such ardor in his breast
that nothing could restrain the, determination to
give his services free will offering TO his coun-
try. He enlisted in the G4th III. Inft in Febru-
arv last since which time he has seen much OF
war with its fatigues as well as horrors. Yet, to
use his own words, his constant prayer to God,
las been, that He would give him strength to
perform his duty as a christian soldier, to aid
bis country in her struggle for Peace, and liberty
to all, throughout the length aud breadth OF the
land" Could mere be more patriotism exhibited
than has been expressed by This BoY HERO in
the spillng of his blood on the altar Of his coun>
try.
This sacrifice Of the flower of our land is not to
be in vain. There will be resurrection unto life,
Of all these heroes who Will join in the process

far distant These martyrs to Liberty will all live
again, aud wear imperishable laurels in their
country's history.

Tie Cyop8.-We have taken special pains
during the past week to enquire of farmer
from different parts of the county, the con :
dition of the crops, and the probable effects
of the late copious rains on the coming har-
vest. Although the effects of the drouth
were too permanent to be entirely counter
acted, we are happy to find that in many
cases, even the wheat fields are receiving
great benefit from the rains, and except some
Of the earliest sown are springing up re-
We have heard of many fields that will
prove full average crop. But we regret
to learn that much Of the wheat the drouth
had destroyed, is nowreceiving the finish
ing stroke from the chinch bug. In many
localities they are said to be destroying en-
ire fields. Hay is thickening and improv
ng wonderfully under the influence of the
requent rains, and the crops will be much
better than the most sanguine dared hope
EN- days ago Corn and potatoes are grow
ng rapidly, and will nearly or quite over
come the effects of the drouth. Pasture
ands are growing green again and feed for
stock is becoming excellent and abundant
again.

The value of most meadow grasses for

orally supposed Tho principal reason
why they have not been more highly APP
preciated is perhaps tho very improper
manner in which they are managed by
most farmers they are permitted to stand
and "ripen off" in other words, to mature
their seed before being cut. This greatly
diminishes their value rendering the stalks
hard and ligneous, and causing tho loss OF
the more valuable portions Of the leaves or
foliage. All meadow grasses should DO
