THE NEW THREsHING MACHINE
The centrifugal hand power threshing
machine exhibited by Messrs. Powers and
Merriam, was put to the test last Friday
afternoon, by their giving public exhi-
bition at their rooms opposite the Stevens
House. The day was one of the worst
which could be chosen for tbreshing,
being rainy, damp day. A large num-
Der of farmers were in to witness the
practical operation of this wonderful
labor saving machine. The grain to be
threshed was long strawed rye. and short
strawed oats The oats were cut green
and were damp from sweating, making
it pretty severe test. The grain was run
through at the rate of from 80 to 100
bushels per day, and although several
persons examined the straw after thresh-
ing, it was found to be perfectly clean,
not grain left. One farmer from an adj
joining town on looking over the straw
said the only fault he could find was that
it "threshed it too clean, and did not leave
any grain for his CATTLE" Iet him feed
his grain separately The straw came out
whole, and in condition to be bound up
again. This is an item worth looking at
among the farmers, when straw brings
the price Of hay. Whereas, when threshed
by the ordinary horse power machines, it
is cut up fine, and almost worthless.
DR.. G.. B. Hamlin, the inventor and
patentee, was here to more fully demon
strate the working Of the machine, and
did it to the full satisfaction Of all present.

with moist breezes, laden with the per-
fume of new mown hay from the adjoin-
ing fields and the sky, radiant with clear
sunbeams, bathed the scene in glorious
light The early eight o'clock love-feast
was marked with more than ordinary en-
thusiasm. The caroling of the birds
among the waving branches above, min
gled sweetly with the sounds of prayer
and praise ascending from the worship
pers below. There were some that dread
ed the breaking of this precious Ginning
of echoes, lest the fervor of these love-
feast tones might be abated by an ordin-
airy sermon, but the inspiration of the
hour seemed poured out in full measure
upon the preacher, Rev. L. N. Boudrye,
who discoursed in silver words and gold
en- sentences of sacred truth, and even
heightened the thrill of the previous hour.
A spirited prayer meeting ensued.
In the afternoon Rev. G. w. Brown OF
the State street church, Troy, preached a
magnificent sermon from the Prophecy as
Hosea: "How shall Give Thee Up
The invaluable boon of Divine grace; its
absolute indispensability to man; its
glorious effect upon the soul and essence
of every day life, was powerfully por.
trayed to an audience whose interest was
more than once manifested by tears.
The final sermon of the session was de-
liyered in the evening by Rev. g. FL
Townsend of Pittsford, VT, from the one
word text, "Ask." The subject of prayer
it's nature, and value, and manifold FORMS
was finely delineated. Prayer meetings
in the tents ensued. It was the closing
night, and the religious spirit seemed tc
have free course. Lights cleaned in every
tent and the "aisles of the forests rang
with the hymns of lofty cheer" Shouts
and importuning prayers, joyful expert.
ences, earnest exhortations, and prolonged
happy ordinations filled the night
echoes. At a later hour the clouds
gathered and a showery torrent flowed
down, making rivulets and brooks
of the gravelled walks, and pools
everywhere. At early dawn this
morning, another love feast was held,
which was not affected by the dampened
air without. Immediately afterward, the
majority of the worshipers "took up their
beds and walked horneward. Thus end
ed the 1870 season camp Injecting of the
Troy Conference. A number of peopa,
remain to enjoy their woodland recrea'
