The following testimonials in regard to the
operations of this machine are signed by some
of our most prominent and reliable citizens:
MEssRs. Ii. & C. I. SMITH:
Gentlemen: A careful examination of your
centrifugal threshing machine satisfies me that
it is far superior to any invention in use for
the purpose of threshng all kinds of grain.
FIRST, The application of power, when APP
piled to rotary motion and speed, reduces
friction to its minimum.
Second, The principle of threshing is that
of whipping out the grain, which is thoroughly
and rapidly done by the fails or tiiers attached
to drum in rapid motion.
The hand mac hine which you have on exhi
bition should be examined by every man who
has grain to thresh. By the use of it much
labor and time can be saved
The same application of power can be used
to great advantage in all kinds of circular saw

The following account of thorough trial
of the machine we take from the New Hamp
shire Mirror and Farmer:
We have already stated the fact that on
Thursday afternoon practical test was CIV
en- the central-power threshng machine, at
the barn of Thomas Bursiel. About fifty per-
sons were present to witness the exhibition,
including quite delegation from this city,
parties from Nashua, and large number of
Bedford farmers. In the company was gen.
tleman from New Jersey and another from
Maine, who happened TO be in town and took
an interest in the work. 1t was expected tina
Hon. Simon Brown of the New England Farm
er, and Gen. Head would be present, but they
failed to appear in time. DR.. Hamlin fed the
machine, which was turned by Mr. Joseph
Tuck of this city.
The grain to be threshed was one hundred
large bundles of heavy-strawed oats, which
were cut before they were fully ripe, and,
owing to the wet weather. were, at the time
of the threshing, quite damp. The day was
warm and muggy, so that the condition OF
the oats was the most untavorable for thresh-
ing. In fact, the grain stuck fast to the
straw.
DR.. Hamlin, as he took the first bundle, ev-
identity found himself taken IN by the size of
the bundles, and the dampness of the straw
but he is cool man, and a mechanic that I'M
derstands his business. He fed the machine
leisurey, aud was determined on good work,
let the time be what it might. On this line it
was put through in manner that gave great
satisfaction as to the quality of the work.
The time was not so quick as was ex-
pected, nor so short by nearly one-haf as it
would have been with proper grain. This
was the general admission of those present
Ten bundles were subsequently threshed by

a Washington dispatch of Tuesday says;
ABOUT THE WAR.
Baron Gerolt is constantly in receipt of
the most flattering dispatches from his
Government. He says his dispatches are
of Il character to show that Prussia is not
nearly exhausted, and that King William
has in reserve as many men as have al
ready been put in the field against France.
This reserve, he says, can be readily used
whenever an emergency may require it.
THE INVADERS.
The journals report that each German
soldier carries with him in the campaign a
little book containing simple French and
German phrases, such as are needed to con-
verse with the country people. All the
German officers have the most detailed
maps of the French territory.
