The CLIPPER MACHINE, as now constructed
are the only Mowers built which come up to the
advanced stage Of improN ement found in Other
Agricultural Implements. The light, elastic steel
hay fork steel hoes and shovels have entirely
superseded the heavy aud clumsy wrought iron
ones. which no far. er would now think of using :;
Mower built Of appropriate material, and like
fnish will supersede the present clumsy machine,
made mostly Of wood and cast iron.
Builders of other Mowers have been too much
Influenced by desire TO lesson their coGt, and
have employed wood and cast iron, where wrought
and malleable iron ought only OF have been used
the Clipper Machine iron has been largely sub
tituted for wood msleable iron for cast iron and
steel in place of malleable or wrought iron.
An examination OF the Clippers will convince
any of their superior merits over all others in
strength, durability, OF draft and reliability
for the work all kinds of ground and in every
variety of grass. Confident of this we invite those
in want of Machises to examine tor themselves
before purchasing elsewhere.

From all accounts there was a lively
scene in the Senate when the nomination
of Attomey-gcncral Hoar came Up for
confirmation as a Justice Of the Supreme
Court The Cincinnati Enquirer says it
is described by Senators who were present
as the stormiest secret session known to
thatbody for eighteen years. Sumner 50
declared in a speech that day; and he
added that it was "worsc than he
had witnessed during the reign of the
slave oligarchy." Conkling, of New
York, attacked Sumner in a vigorous
style He said that Massachusetts.
through the hands Of her Senators, held
the hilt of a sword, the point of which
was aimed at the other States. And
much more TO the same effect. Really
this is an alarming state of affairs to ex-
ist in the Radical happy family "What-
ever brawls disturb the Streets" there
should be peace IN the fraternity of 10y
alists. Whatever tends to the contrary is
rank treason.

THE late election in Texas was attempt
cd to be carried by the Radicals by tho
most glazing frauds. A Washington lettel
of the 27th inst. to the Cincinnati En-
qUirCr tells the story as follows:
"A letter received here to-day from s
prominent Texas Democrat, says that il
Gen. Reynolds decides in favor of Davis,
the Radical candidate for Governor, az
appeal viii be made by the conserva-
tives in Texas for an investigation,
by Congress, into the election. Ii
is claimed that the most glaring
frauds have been committed, and details
are given to sustain the charges. In
several precincts in Hill county, where
Hamilton for Governor had quite large
majorities, the ballot boxes were taken
away before the polls closed, and when
they were returned and the vote counted,
the result was in favor Of Davis. The
Conservatives maintain that Hamilton
was elected by 5000 majority"

NEW ENGLAND justice is a curious COM
modify, as is illustrated by a recent Incl
dent in Vermont. At the late term Of the
court for Caledonia county an Old man of
seventy-five sued the county for damages
for wrongful Imprisonment. lie had
been confined in a dungeon for a long
time, the only good food furnished him
being thin cruel, and this for refusing to
pay poll and dog tax in the town of
Lyndon. On the trial it was proved that
the papers for hisimprisonment had never
been properly made out; that he was not
bound to pay the taxes, as he did not live
in Lyndon and never had owned dog
The jury, however, with these facts be-
fore them, gave him but two hundred dol
lars damages.

The labor necessities of the South ara
bringing to the surface many new expert
ments for the purpose Of enabling the
planters to crop a fuller area, and reap
more abunGaDt results. Among these
plans is one copied from the practice pre-
yailing in England, where bodies of men
from Scotland and Ireland make their ap-
pearaucc with the annual harycsls, help
TO cut and gather the same, and then re-
turn home. The St. Louis RcpuJEcan
says: Our readers are aware that the
cotton and sugar crop are not usually
gathered and saved before December, and
frequently not TIL February, the harvest
Of these great staples commencing
only at the time in The fan when
the grain and grass crops Of the
West and Northwest are completely
Gathered. Thus what we call Harvest"
in this latitude, IS entirely over by the
middle of September, when cotton pickfpr
in the South has not fully begun. and
canc-g grinding is still a month distant. Il.
