TuRAsnING WHEAT BY STEAM.-Mr.
Elisha Brown, well known in this county
as an inventor and builder of agricultural
machines, gave US a call, few days since,
on his way to Major John Jones, of Wheat
land, Delaware, for the purpose of examin-
ing and observing the operation ofthrashing
wheat by steam power.
We have no doubt that thrashing by steam
will erelong supersede the irregular and
very unsatisfactory horse power.
Portable steam engines are now built on
wheels, by which they can be moved from
place to place with the facility and ease of
an ordinary horse power. An engine has
many advantages over horse power for
thrashing grain. II gives the thrasher a
steady, uniform rate of speed, which the
horse power will not. Every farmer knows
how essential it is to get the proper speed
on the thrasher and to retain it while the op.
Grafton of feeding is going on. Large guam.
titles of grain are annually wasted by being
left in the straw, which will inevitably hap
pen il the thrasher does not run regularly
and if the speed is too high, great deal of
the grain is broken. The introduction of
the steam engine for thrashing and other
farm work will be u great economy over
horse power. The engine may be station
cd sufficient distance from the barn to
guard against danger from fire, and the
thrasher be driven by long belt. Wehope
Mr. Brown will iptrnduca tho stpam anpiue
He is the right man in the right place.

PORT DEPOSIT ITEMS.

ImprOre nt.-Our attention was called,
Il few days since, by one who has been alb
sent from the place for twelve or fifteen
years, to the great change that has been
wrought in the appearance Of the town by
the erection of new and costly buildings
The residents of the town do not notice the
change-it is so gradual but to one who
has been absent for so long time, it is 50
striking he can scarcely realize it,
The Nev Church.-The great point of at.
traction now is the new NJ. f. Church, which
begins to show what magnificent building
it will be when completed. The carpenters
are putting up the rafters and the masons
are pushing on the work on the tower. and
it is expected that the outside work of the
building will be pretty well finished by the
first of September. 1t will be an ornament
to the town, of which any city might be
the principal donor Some scoundrel, re.
gardless alike of the sanctity of religion OF
the decencies of common manhood, insti-
gated bySthe devil or whiskey, on Sunday
night last, mutiated the corners stone of the
, building. Such an outrage has no pallia-
ton, and it is earnestly hoped some means
may be effectual in bringing the perpetratoi
to deserved punishment
/ Contract Aparded.-The Town Commits,
sioners have awarded the contract to re.
build the engine-house and public school
room, to which also is to be added third
story for masonic hall. By the plans and
draw ings, the new building will far surpass
in beauty the one destroyed by the fire last
winter. Mr.. A. II. Reynolds has beer
awarded the contract,-a sure guarantee tina
it will be finished in the best manner.
New Engine.-It is anxiously desired tha
our public spirited and liberal citizens will
have purchased, and have ready to place il
the engine.room, the steam fire engine tina
is so imperatively need to save our tow
from destruction.
Railroads. -Thc Columbia and Port De
post Railroad, in connection with the Phil
Il Bal. Central Railroad, is moving along a
snails pace the connection with the y
W. & B. Railroad, that was to have take
place the first of July, last, it is now though
will probably happen by the first of Apr
next.
Painful accident. A little child of NJ
Jos. W. Reynolds made narrow escape vii
its life, on Monday last. 1t was amusing
self looking out of the second story window
when it lost it's balance and fell to the paw
ment. Fortunately, small dry goods be
broke its fall, else it must have been instan
~ killed. A severe bruise ON the should
was the principal injury sustained.
