[For the, spiri. of Jefferson. .


Editor Sptrit-In. the Free Press of the
24th inst, is a challenge from Major Hooff.
addressed to the world at large and the
Agents of the Mccormick Reaper in par,
ticular. 1t is probably not incumbent upon
us to say more, than that all of our time is
occupied in giving attention to the machines
we have sold and which are Just entering a
harvest Of more than unusual importance to
the farmer and difficulties TO the reaper. We,
therefore, cannot meet Major Hooff at the
time and upon the terms proposed.
Beyond these considerations we may be
permitted to say, that we have not much faith
in these Reaper tournaments. They are agree
able as entertainments in the absence of any
thing more exciting, but they prove no more
about the value Of the machine than the turf
does about the speed of horse. What
farmer will blindly buy machine, because it
is endorsed by the judges Of trial for sim
gle day, with the result depending upon for
tuitous circumstances beyond anybody's con-
troll? The "Valley Chief" was adjudged the
best Reaper at the trial near Frederick. Md,
last season, and yet the sample sent us by our
fat friend from Pennsylvania stands in our
back yard "uuwept, uuhonored and unsung."
The late Lord Hastings won 100000 by
taking the odds against his own horse, and
yet every man in England knows that his
horse could have won, if he had not been
booked to lose. In lieu then of these trials
which decide nothing, we propose to put
machine along side of any rntchne Maj.
Hooff has in the field, and let the. farmer work
them through the harvest, and then in his
own calm judgment, unrnAheuced by the ex-
citement of a Reaper tournament, decide which
one he will buy.
The Farmer "pays his money" and we want
him "to have his choice"
Respectfully,
1t. MCCURDY & DUKE.

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

jefferson Institute.
On Friday evening last the annual COM
mencement exercises of this deserVedly pop
ular Institute, under the Management OF MIS-
A. NJ. FoRREsr and corps of able assistants
took place at Lee Hall formerly Hootf S Hal0
in the presence of large and delighted au>
dience of the friends and patrons OF the school.
We have not sufficient materials at hand to
enable US to give detailed account of the
proceedings of the evening; but we can, with
out hesitation say, in general way, that the
performances were all of highly creditable
character, whilst some of them manifested a
proficiency and ripcuess of attainment in
many branches of female education which
Justly entitle the Jefferson Institute to the
commanding reputation which it has always
enjoyed. The exercises consisted of reading
of original compositions and translations, and
the introduction of music at appropriate iu-
tervals.
The most interesting feature to the pupils
was the award and distribution of premiums
which took place at the close of the evening !;
and whilst there were doubtless, as there are
OF all such occasions, some diaappointments,
they were amisbly concealed: by those who
felt them-aA joining in hearty congratula>
tions Of their successful co-matcs who had
borne off the prizes.

\. i. & Fl. RAILRoD.-The surveys OF the
Alexandria. Loudoun and Hampshire road east
of this point were completed on Tuesday last.
Crossing the river at the mouth of CraiSs
run above Castleman's ferry. the line passes
mile south of Berryville, thence to Helms
r'll on the Opequon and thence towards Win
chester. Curving to the southwark at Bran
nous old race-fcld from town, it strikes the
Valley at the southern end of Kearnstown.
From the Shenandoah to Winchester, the
distance is about fourteen and a. half miles, or
sixteen to keatnstown the route is extremely
favorable, both in curvature and profile.
The Suckers Gap route with tunnel of
1920 feet. reduces the distance between Win
chcsterand Alexandria toseveuty>seren miles,
with no ascent eastward heavier than fifty
two feet per mile. Pending the completion
of the tunnel, temporary track can be laid
over the Ridge not sleeper than one hundred
feet to the mile-seventeen feet less than at
several points on the finished line of the Bal
timore and Ohio road.
Within week or two, it will probably be
decided as to placing the road under contract.
Chief Engineer Blythe is quite sanguine of
being able to do so- Winchester Ners.

IFor the Spirit of Jefferson

lC SPHll VI JeneEbOu!
Mr.. EDITOR tt hear a good deal of har-
vest whiskey, and there is a great desire and
effort to sell it. Now, the query with me is, is
harvest whiskey different from whiskey at any
other time Is it not the same villainous stuff
that steals mems brains lays them fat in the
gutter, makes widows and orphans, reduces to
want and beggary, excites to crime, murder and
suicide, totally units the young men for bus
mess and usefulness, and blasts the fairest
prospects for happiness and good? Yes, sir,
it is the same, and the men who ply the trade
look not at the probable effects, nor do they
care, if only they makeit a harvest to
them in vending the "crittur." And why all
this ado about harvest whiskey? Why get
fresh supplies. and publish its good qualities
so pertinaciousy Why does the farmer bring
into town his kcg or demijohn that has laid
empty so long? One would suppose that it
was a necessity to successful harvest, that it
was a sine qua non to the procurement and sup
port of that labor that secures the crop
There is no greater faSity than this. The
harvest time occurring in the heated term,
there is gendered enough caloric by the "sun's
director rays" and the physical exercise put
forth, and there is no need to add the fiery
stimulant to nerve the arm or invigorate the
body. n cool head, strong arm, an active
frame, so needfu to endure the exposure and
labor are better maintained by the use of ma
lures cooling draught or some innocent bev-
eraSe of the many that could be made, that
refreshes but never intoxicates. The idea
that seems to possess mems minds, that whis
key is a necessity in the harvest fields is ex-
ploded by the development of science, and by
the experience of two sets of hands, the one
using, and the other discarding it !; whilst the
freedom of the one from accident, STRIFE bois-
ferrous hilaritY and fatal results, in contrast
with the other, should forever Danish ,0hiShcy
from the harvest field.

NortcE-We are, compelled to close our
columns against the controversy between
Mountaineer," aud"Zephon," of G erardstown
The affair between them has assumed too
much of a personal and private character to
make it legitimate matter for a newspaper,
and the references made are too indelioate for
a family Journal. Had We understood the af-
fair as it has since been explained to us by
respectable gentlemen of the neighborhood,
we should never have allowed our columns to
be used aud as both parties have had hear
ing, we cannot be accused of Partially to
either. There is a point, however, at which
it becomes the conductor of public press to
interpose his veto, and without disrespect to
either of the contestants we must state in all
candor that that point has been reached. To
the great body of our readers the controversy
can have no possible interest, and to open our
columns to long and tedious discussion to
prove the paternity of mulatto child, is
something against which we must candidly
protest. We hope this explanation will be
satisfactory, and whether it is or not, it must
must stand unrepcaled.
