Mower Trial.
Paris. July I'd. 1867.

GarlS, July ~, 1oo''
According to previous notice the public tri-
al of Mowers took place on the farm Of G. NJ.
Fowler. The large attendance of farmers and
others, Notwithstanding the busy season ofthe
year, indicated the very general interest taken
in this trial.
Four machines were entered for competition;
to wit, The Mccormick, the A. B. Wood, the
Yankee and Lavey's combined machine.
These machines all moved very aCet, and 1t
would be safe for farmer to buy either. The
trial was satisfactory, so sar as the moving
qualities of the several machines were con
cerned, until near the conclusion, when quite
a severe storm of wind arose, that interiered
to a greater or less extent with operation OF
the machines.
The Committee awarded the First premium
of IS. to the Yankee, and the Second premium
of 81 to the Wood Machine.
The Committee were unable to make sat
isfaetory trial of draught of the several ma.
chimes, as the dynamometer failed to work
well.
The Lavey machine runs easily, but Is
combined machine, and perhaps ought not tC
! have competed with machines adapted FOL
moving only, yet it mows we'll The McCor
mick REQUIRES more draught. The Yankee has
large drive wheels. and oyercomes obstacles
more readily. The Wood machine is IN cas-!

Serious Accident.


We are panied to chronicle quite serious
accident that happened to Mrs. Fl. A. GAY
LORD, of DesMoines, Iowa, who with her hus-
band is on visit to this city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gaylord started early on Monday morning
last, for ride on horseback before breakfast.
They had proceeded up Prairie Avenue but
short distance when Mrs G's horse suddenly
jumped one side throwing he~ to the ground
violently, and hitting her as she fell. Mr.
Gaylord Immediately dismounted and ran to
her assistance, and found her insensible and
badly, though we hope not mortally injured
He carried her into the nearest house, and
DR.. Farr was Immediately sent for. In the
meantime, the horses left to themselves start
ed on the run for home, and brought up in the
barn, thus giving the alarm to the family of
Mr.. Simmons, where Mr.. and Mrs. G. were
visiting.
Mrs Gaylord will be remembered as Miss Net
tie Patterson, who was for some time teach
err in our public schools, where she was uni
versaIy loved and respected

That Awful Flood

slipper, Communicates to that paper wonder
full flood story. He gives graphic account
of a late deluge on the Mississippi, and among
other things declares &c Whole plantations
hare had negroes, stock and houses all soept e'0ay
and lost ~ The news of this extraordinary
food appears designed exclusively for the
Kenosha Union, for no other paper seems to
have gotten the news of this terrible sweeping
off of whole plantations of negroes, sc. The
correspondent speaks of the plantations being
worked by both white and black people; but
while the water cleared off all the black pop
ulation, the white people, it appears, kept on
terra firma. This correspondent of the Union
should keep on writing. He can keep great
wavs ahead of any other in the matters of

A Novel Weather Indicator.
We have examined practical novelty, call
the Oriental Hygro- Barometer, or Natural
Weather indicator, which is a great curiosity.
1t indicates the moisture or dryneSs of the at
mosphere, foretells rain, from twelve to TWEEN
ty-four hours in advance. The index is moved
by the coiling or uncoiling of the flower style
of an Arabian plant, the style, or avn, coiling
when the air is dry, and uncoiling when it is
moist. 1t is indestructible by the strongest
acids, and retains its sensitiveness to atmos-
pheric influence under tests which destroy the
firmest woods. The leading scientific men of
the country testify to its value. The mercu-
real barometer measures the weight of the at
mosphore, but does not tell whether the storm
it indicates will be wind or rain, and costs from
S15 to $50. This barometer indicates the
moisture of the atmosphere, and whether to ex
pect rain or dry weather, and costs but four
dollars.
Prof. Ward, of Ripon college, after testing
tions as very valuable in prognosticating the
weather."
/. A. Lapham J.. L. D. of Milwaukee says:
at affords very wonderful, simple, cheap
and highly useful indicator of the state of the
weather."
Prof. Carr, of our State University, says: 81
have carefully examined and critically OBJ
served the working of Ullman's "Hygro Bar
ometer,' and regard it as the most simple, re-
liable, and inexpensive instrument of the kind
that l am acquainted with.
1t should be in the hands of every farmer,
gardner, and all who wish to know the pros
poets of rain or draught.'
The barometer can be seen at DR.. Gridley's.
The right of sale for this county can be had at
a low rate If it will do what our most relia
bic scientific men, who have tried it, say tit
willard We have no reason to doubt tit
will be of very great value to farmers, and all
whose business is affected by the state of the
weather and must come into general use.

Kemosha, July LIST, 1867.


S. M. BOOTH, Esq:
The Hygro- Barometer, which you left with
me for trial and examination, is a wonderful
instrument, dependant as it is for its Hygro-
metical manifestations, upon the expansion
and contraction of the oriental plant which
enters into its construction
From the trial have made oft, do not
see how it can fail to indicate the true state
of the atmosphere as regards its dryness or hui
nudity, with an accuracy exceeding that even
of the mercurial Barometer. When properly
placed in its exposure to atmospherical infu.
ences, it must prove of great practical utility
to all who choose to use it.
Yours truly,
JOHN GRIDLEY.

Dr. Prices Baking Powder.

For several weeks past, we have been using
in our family, for biscuit, cake, &C., DR. Prices
Baking Powder. We have before spoken of
this article as one of great merit, and the long
er We use it the better we like it. DR.. Price,
who is a practical chemist as well as physi-
clan, first prepared this powder for his own
family use, with especial reference to its
healthfulness, as an Offset to the Soda salcra-
tus and cream Of tartar so universally used
His neighbors tried it and liked it so well that
be found its preparation wasinterfereing with
his professional duties he therefore made ar
rangements with Mr.. s. D. Thompson, of Wau-
kegan to manufacture it a large scale, and
introduce it to the general public. The result
is, that everywhere it has been tried, it has
been so well liked that no one who has once
tried it will be without it.
Messrs. Bronson & Bone have taken the sale
of this Baking Powder in Kenosha and will
hereafter keep a supply on hand. We cannot
speak too highly of this article. For those
who are in the habit of having warm biscuit
or rolls upon their table, it is just the thing
Warm biscuit made with it may be eaten
with perfect impunity. Get can and try it,
by all means.
