The Narrow Guage.

There are new fifteen mario ". guage
railways in operation in the United
States, having seven hundred miles
of track, and no less that one
hundred and twenty organizations
and one thousand two hundred and
fifty miles under construction. These
roads have been planned and con-
structed within the last two years
despite the prejudices which have
boon urged against them by the ad-
vocates of the wider gauge. The
cost through level country is about
$40, 900 per mile, including fair
equipm ent of rolling stock, while the
4.foot-S4 inch gauge costs from $35,
600 to S45 900 per mile. In the west,
whore the traffic is not very large,
the narrow gauge road pays better
on the amount of money invested
than the 4.foot-83-inch gauge does,
and the actual expense Of transporta-
ton per ton per mile is much less, in
the same manner as it was prov ed
that the wide 6-foot gauge could not
compete with tho 4,fOot.81 inch
gauge.

Correspondence Of the Herald.
Mower Trial.

EpITok HERALD I'll send you report Of
a mower trial which took place to-day on the
farm Of Jas. Kilbourn near here, in which
were the Cayugs Chief, Ohio Champion and
Little Champion. It was generally admitted
that as to QUALITY OF WORK there was no
percepible difference. The Ohio Champion
h ad the preference if there was any. Between
the Cayuga Chief and the Little Champion
there could be seen no difference
As TO lightness Of draft, the Little Cham
pIon was considered first the Cayuga Chief
second the Ohio Champion third. The
Little Champion was the only one without
side draft, and considered the most durable Of
the three. After the mower trial the Little
Champion and Csyuga Chief were put up a.
reapsrs and were put to punching CloVU.
At this the Cayuga Chiefwas considerd ahead,
but the Little Champion, after changing the
speed of its rakss did good work. The test
was Of no account az far as. self rake was
concerned, for it was impossible for either
machine TO make good gavsI in clover.

The 4th Of July.

Almost a century has elapsed since
the assemblage of that body of men
upon whose deliberations hung the
destiny of this Republic. In the
history of modern times, never was
there a convention SO perilous to the
actors 80 solemn in import. so mo-
mentuous in results. No bodv Of
men ever surpassed in intelligence
hrmness and character, the repre-
sentatives Of the Continental Con.
gress in general assembly convened
IN 1875. The spirit Of youth enliyen.
cd It's counsels, the nerve and yigor
OF manhood gave solidity to their &C 4.
tions, and the gravity of age added
sanctity to their character. They
convened to deliberate over private
wrongs innumerable, tyrannical op,
preston unparalleled, and their nat
ural rights denied. They signed,
and were ready to seal with their
blood, the Declaration, in which
they solemnly laid upon their coun-
try's altar, ready for the sacrifice
their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor. Those worthless, jeff
erson, Washington, Adams, Frank
lin and their patriot colleagues, while
they bound their own brows with the
garlands of immortality, conferred
liberty aud happiness upon their pos
terity. Tomorrow is the annivers-
airy Of that political conclave, and
who that notes the bearings of that
day upon the nations glory and hon
or, can wonder that the dawn of it's
annual return should be hailed with
Joy and patriotic gratitude for those
who, at the hazard of personal sacri-
fee, gave US the blessings of freedom.

Messrs: Swift & Miller, agents for the "Ca-
yuga Chief" CHI allenged Messrs. Babbock
Bros, agents for the "Little Cahmplon,r to a
trial, in piece of oats selected by Mr.. Swift,
on the farm of Peter Smith, in the town of
Ellington. The challenging parties were re-
quested to invite to all machine agents
represented through this section, which was
done. The following named machines were
the only ones present at the trial: The Ca

| ing community at heart, and who were anx-

| is the best reaper and mower. II is believed
| by all who witnessed the trial, that they per-
| formed the duty assigned them according to
their best judgment, influenced by no other
| motive than TO do justice TO all.
The grain in which the trial was made was
| as good as could have been found for a true
test of the machines, it being field of oats
lodged TO the ground in some places, badly
all conceivable shapes.
The s'Cayuga Chief' was the first called
upon by the judges; which started off ysry
we'll but not getting the height of cut ex-
actly to suit the gram, had to stop and lower
platform, after which it did well. Next came
the "Little Champion" followed by crowd
of admirers. This is comparatively a new
machine in this section has one wheel as q
reaper, and two-whesl POINTED bar as mower.
it cuts feet wide as reaper, as mower.
Simple, of light draft, changes from reaper to
mower readily, and performs its work neatly
and in excellent shape. Next in order came
the "klrbY," winch was exceedingly well
handled, and did good work. Next came the
tached. Each machine was followed around
the field by the judges, who watched every
motion with scrutiniZing eye, that no fault
in any might escape unnotIced. This was
not done without fatigue on the part of the
judges, for it certainly was most labor ious
position.
After giving all machines fair and Impair
tial trial in reaping, the COMMITTEES ordered
the agents TO change the machines from reap
ing to moving, after which an explanation of
machine was given by their representatives.
The judges then retired for few minutes
to make out their report. We were then call
ed together to hear the reading of the same,
given as follows
The "Little Champion" self-raker, reaper
and mower, was declared the best, No. the
"Cayuga Chief" I'd the "Kirby," Sd and
the civilians" with Johnson's selt-rake,
4th. The Committee recommended the
"World" as a good dropper. We heard no
complaint aga inst the decision as rendered
and all appeared TO pc satisfied.

Passing Away-In Memoriam.

That baud Of loonats, which for
nearly thirty years have encompass
cd tho court house square as fixed
sentinels of tho public domain, has
at last, as all things must, passed
forever away. Their verdure will no
longer shadeand shield from notice
the truant school boy. Their matur-
or blossoms will no more attract the
attention and gladden. the eye of
the light hearted maiden on her di-
urnal journeyings to the scboolroom.
Their ever distilIing fragrance has
forever ceased to spread its perfume
and delight the senses of the passers
by. Though scathed by the lightnings,
fractured by the winds, and shook
by tho thunders Of Heaven they have
yearly, and bravely stood erect,
showed their colors, and distributed
their odors, until the severity of the
past winter and their constant un-
wavering vigilence, with its atten-
dant exposures, cut them off in the
strength of their treehood and in
the pride of their beauty. They
died at their posts" For some
months the winds of Heaven have
whistled their only dirge through
their own withered branches and
now the "axe has been laid at the
root" and their bodies been consign-
ed to heat up tho place of their final
destruction. OLD SETTLER.
