The list of victories won by the
Champion Reaper and Mower during
the present season grows with in
creasing rapidity. We have the
pleasure to- day of adding the follow
ing to the series of Triumphs in the
campaign of 1869 won by these ia
nous machines
At Clarksburg, West Virginia, on
the 18th inst, in competition with
the Wood and Clipper Mowers, the
First Premium was unanimously
awarded to the Champion No. )
Mower.
At Zanesville, Ohio, on the II ult.
in competition with the Buckeye,
World and Climax Mowers, the First
Premium was awarded to the Ch am.
pion No. 3 Mower.
At CadIz, Ohio, on the 221 nit in
spirited trial with the Buckeye,
Kirby and Climax Mowers, the pre-
MUM was awarded to the Champion
No. 8 Mower. The committee in
this trial say in their report that the
Champion was much the lightesi
draft, stopped and started without
backing, and cut where the other
machines were unable to cut at 6
slow rate Of speed.
This will suffice for the present
issue; but there are "a few more
left of the same Sort" which will
transpire in due time. The motto ol

Dearly beloved, 1t is meet and right, as we
learn from the Holy Scriptures, that houses
erected for the public worship of God should
be specially set apart and dedicated TO relig-
ious uses. For such a dedication we are now
assembled. With gratitude, therefore, TO AL
mighty God, who has signally blessed His SER
wants in their holy enterprise OF erecting this
Church, we dedicate 1t to His service, for the
reading OF the Holy Scriptures, the preach ing
of the Word of God, the administration of the
Holy Sacraments, and for all other exercises
of religious worship and service, according 10
the Discipline and usages of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. And, as the dedication of
tue temple is vain vitlnUt the solemn con-
secratioT of the worshippers also, nov csll
nnon YOU all to dedicate yourselves anew ID

Ss3icated that they may be fit temples for the

our Iabors and business be dedicated, tina!
their fruit may tend 70 the glory q I His sina'
dom. And that He may graciously accept thi'
our solemn act, let US pray.
