Although it is late at light, l can't rest un
til | write you the glorious news of our grand
triumph with the advance" in the Fl ia to-
day. This was to be the grand trial of the
season. There were oyer three hundred men
present, most all of them farmers. We had
the Marsh Harvester, Dorsey, Kirby, Cham
pion, Wood, J, P. Nanny, and J. H. Nanny
to contend with, but we came out so far
ahead of all competitors, that they are dead,
now, in this part o the country.
The new j II. NANNY went in first, man
aged by Mr.. Ritter. He clogged three times
before he got five rods, and then broke his
machine, and had to haul it out, amid the de-
rision of the crowd, and loud calls for the
Mccormick. | drove in. and cut twice
around the field without stopping, amid loud
cheers for the "Advasce" The others then
went in, in turn. The Wood made horrible
failure, and was Kissed off the field The
Dorsey broke it's rake. and had to haul out.
The others worked with varied success, but
none of them began to get the praise that the
advance" did. Eyen the other agents ac-
knowledged that the advance" was ahead :

Thc EEaggarsy Murder.

The trial of Andrew Thompson for the
murder Of the Haggarty family, commence,
at West Union, on June 9th. He is
charged with the murder of Mra. Maria
Haggarty, aged 50 years, her daughter,
aged II years, and two sons aged IA and
years. The testimony is very voiuminous,
and the trial, it is thought, will occupy two
weeks. One point relied on by the defence
is, to show that the CRIME was committed in
Wisconsin, and have tie prisoner taken
there SO if convicted he will not suffer the
penalty Of death. But the prosecution are
confident that they can prove that the deed
was committed on the Mississippi, and thus
give some concurrent jurisdiction to the Of
fence.

George William Curtis, in Uu1pers
|Veehly,tells this incident of Dickens
and Mark Lemon.
when Thackeray was buried, his
friends and among them the most
noted OF English authors carried him
to kensal Green. There had been
some estrangement between Dickens
and Mark Lemon, and as the coffin
was lowered into its place Dickens
stood upon one side of the grave and
Lemon upon the other. AS they
raised their heads, their eyes met,
and instinctively putting out their
hands, they clasped them in forgive
ness, and their quarrel was buried in
the grave of Tbackeray."

PLEASANT HILL, Mo-, June l6, 1870.
l had a new Advance out in the field yester-
day, and came out with the universal appro-
val of the by-standers. 1 have had to con-
tend with misrepresentation and lies, every
thing that is indecent and dishonest, but yes
terday gave the first harvest field, and
proced By actual test, while the Wood, the Ex-
cesior and the Marsh Harvester, were in the
field, that we had the Machine for all purposes
for which combined Machine can be used.
Our wheat is quite short, the heads are
heavy. There is great complaint of the Wood
Machine-in fact it cannot reap short wheat,
and our oat crop being very short, my i'm
preston at this time is, unless they can do
something for it in this respect, 1t will play
out Several men in now, demanding the
immediate fxinb o. their Machines, or they
are going back The Marsh Harvester is not
doing much. 1 am fully convinced we have in
the Advance, Machine which is entirely wor-
thy Of anything good which can be said Of it.

We THE week publish the call of the Con-
gressional Central Committee, for a conven-
ton to be held at Charles City, in Floyd
county, on the 9th day of August.
This is calling the convention at late
day. 1t will, however, give all the aspi
rants for congressional honors chance to
make kncwn their respective claims. In
cnse Mr.. Allison is not candidate before
the convention, we presume from present
indications that there will be several ballot.
ings before any one is nominated. We are
in hopes that our district will choose the
best man without regard to the location OF
his residence. We do not now feel like rec
ommending any particular candidate, but
we presume tina. Buchanan county can pro-
duce as good man as any one now in the
field. AS to the place for holding the con.
yention, we can say that it can be reached
by public conveyance from all counties in
the District with more facility than any
other point, and should it be necessary for
the delegates to remain several days iE Or
der to agree upon a candidate, it will be
convenient for their friends to ell on them
and see that they are supplied with all the
necessalies Of the campaign.

For the Bulletin.
Reading for Children.

What shall our children read, is one of
the important questions that must be ans
wered to a great extent, by every parent.
AT no time in life is love for reading more
clearly seen than in childhood, so that it is
the first duty of the parent to care that this
early love for books should be rightly d.
rected.
The child naturally delights in the won
derful, and unless great care is taken parents
will frequently interest their children by re-
peating to them stories made up for the
occasion, that leave upon their mind i'm
pressions that are thoroughly false. Soon
the desire of the child will not be satisfied
with the story which the father or mother is
able to manufacture, so it will naturally
seek the cheap prints and ten penny novels
of the day. y most pernicious influence is
being eXerted upon the youth in our coun-
try by tho cheap trash that is sold for pleas
ant but harmless reading. 1t is strange
indeed that while our eyes are wide open
concerning the many terrible evils that
come from the traffic in Intoxicating liquors,
that we are not more fully awake to the en-
erva,ing and dissipating influence begotten
by much of the reading matter that is now
current. That parent or teacher has done
the most and the best for his child, when he
has formed in hi. taste for good books,
for it is through good books that he or she
is to become more Intimately acquainted
with all that which enriches life and which
makes the world better A taste for good
reading matter formed in the child, and It
has already the key that gives him entrance
to all s~und learning.
The parent Or teacher who is so far for
getful of his duty as not to carefully select
profitable books adapted to the mind Of the
child, shows himself unfit to be parent Or
teacher, for by this strange neglect, he is
putting in jeopardy the intellectual and
moral life entrusted to him. There has
been many life made total wreck by the
VICIOUS tI'it SohiC 'iot' VI
our cheap publications.
A good book is constant teacher and
benefactor. 1t makes our lives wiser and
better by bringing us into direct communi,
cation with those lives that are full of truth
full sayings and benevolent deeds Parents
who are wise in time will be sure that their
children have the companionshp Of good
books at their homes, or that they have &C.
cess to the public Library. In showing al
most the infinite worth of a good book, one
writer has said He who kills man, kills
a reasonable creature, kills Gods image,
but he who destroys good book, kills reas-
on itself kills The image of God, as it Were,
in the eye. Many man lives burden
upon the EARTH but good book is the prec-
ious life blood of master spirit embalmed
and treasured up on purpose for life be-
yond Ffe.'' lie, US guard well the reading
matter that is placed before our children,
and see to it early that they spend not their
money for that which is not bread, and their
labor for that which satisfeth not.
