the ocean amazingly. While pleased with En-
gland and English things, he prizes American
institutions much more highly and returns to

lie las acquired.
Chdllege Accepted.-A committee of the
Fame Hose Company have accepted the cbal-
lenge OF the Water Witch Fire Company to test
said engines In throwing water, on a wager of
S5Oo each. A fiiendly trial of engines may be
all right and proper, but the wagering of money
OH the result should be discouraged. Good can
not proceed from it while evil may We hope
that the companies may reconsider the bet, and
arrange to proceed with the trial of the powers
OF their engines without such incentive to eff
fort.

yerlises grand excursion from Birdsboro to

aniel A. Taylor, Qmproved,) which induces me
TO send you an account Of the performance Of
one made by Westinghouse, old style, AZ inch
machine, under the management and owned by
Richard Megginson. and by him improved the
present year. He threshed for Mr.. Jno. Morri
son on the farm of b. T. Holcomb, ESQ. In
2 "a days, 1895 bushels of grain, tremoved ant
set the machine each day.) There was 100;
bushels Of wheat which was done in two days
and cleaned nearly ready for market; of the oatl
S2O bushels were threshed, perfectly and thor
oughly cleaned III five hours and ten minutes
and during one hour, "a bushels Of wheat wa
threshed. This was not done for trial to as
certain how much could be threshed III givel
time but Is about the regular speed Of threshin
when all works well.
Mr.. Megginson has been at the business o
threshing by steam for several years, and ha
been very successful, and has given the utmos
satisfaction, and, he thinks, the Westinghouse
machine, ifproperly managed canno: be exec
, led Qor quality and quantity of work,) by an
other now in the market, Of which he has know
