Tnh PoET Henry RAILROAD BRIDGE
AGAIN SERIOUS INJURED The strong
north wind Of Friday night again drove
the ice against the bridge with such
force as to entirely destroy several trca,lcs
and damage the structure more seriously
than ever before. Passengers, mails and
express were conveyed by carriages
around the bay to Long Point, distance
Of about four miles, to the train, which,
tor safety, had been kept on the east side
of the bridge. Nothing can now pass
for several days, at least, as it can only
be repaired at an expense OF several
thousand dollars and much labor. The
bridge had been partially repaired, after
the last injury, and trains had crossed
for single day.

DIED.-In Lincoln, March 18th, 1874,
OF latent pneumonia, Mr.. James H.
Stearns, aged SO years
The sudden and unlocked for death of
Mr.. Stearns has cast gloom over our Gu.
tire community, in which he was SO ia.
vorably known, having spent thrty-sevep
years OF his life in this town. He was a
strictly honest mana conscientious christ.
ian, devoted husband and father, an in
telligent and useful citizen, and good
neighbor. The community in which he
lived regret the loss of one whose acts OF
neighborly kindness endeared him to all,
and tend TO make cheerful the pathway
OF life. At the age Of thirteen he became
converted, in the town of Warren, and
joined the NJ L. church. In 1887 he
changed to the Bristol church, at which
time his father, Rev. n, W. Stearns, Of
the old n. L. conference, and pioneer OF
Methodlsm in Lincoln and Bristol, moved
to Lincoln, and in 1889 established the
first NJ. f. church in that town, which
church the subject of this noticed joined
by letter, thus having been within the
pale Of the church thrty-nine years. As
a class leader his absence will be severely
felt; his words Of exhortation to hi,
brethren aud sisters in Christ, were as
words flly spoken,an had greater weigh,
aud influence, because of his consistent
daily walk and conversation. He had nc
aspirations for Office, but was ever ready
to advance the public welfare and the
Redeemer's kingdom. He prayed with
great earnestness just before his death
and it would seem as though he had caught
sight Of the golden streets of New Jeru,
salem land at its close he quoted the pro.
misses Of God, viZ-"In my fathers house
are many mansions !" My grace is suf
ficient for thee !" And no man shall be
able to pluck them cut of my hand )" ther

THE AMERICAN
Hay Loading Machine.

| am now prepared to fill orders for this ma
chine for tho season of 1874.
1t has been my purpose to furnish the farmers
of the country with hay loading machine which
should be u practical labor saving implement
ranking with the other great labor saving inven-
tions Of the day, and have determined to not
put it upon the market until it was perfected
and could cordially recommend it to my neighbors
and friends. | have made changes year after
year in order to get the best combination possible
to secure my object, and | now have a machine
which very few farmers can afford to be without
1t is light, durable and easily managed, and is
offered at $50, and freight. a price which makes
il n good investment for any farmer who cuts so
tons Of hay year, and on large farms it will pay
for itself every year. Its use to me in my last
years haying was worth over 500, in cash, and
had been prepared to use it to its full capacity
it would have easily earned me double that sum.
1t saves nearly one-half of the manual labor Of
the hay field, solving the great problem Of labor
supply for the hay harvest
1t is attachsble to q common farm wagon, take
the hay from the winrow, and leads with ease a
ton in ten minutes.
1t has been tested by great many enterprising
farmers Of this country and Europe during the
past four years, its principles by them UNIVERSAL
endorsed, and even in its then imperfect state
pronounced indispensable by many of them.
1t has been exhibited at a great many fairs,
county, State and sectional, and almost without
exception has received some award
Tho machine is warranted to do lite work we'll
and is also warranted against brcakages the first
season If properly used
1t Is only by an early order that any person
can be sure Of obtaining one for the coming sea
son, for field Of operation is large, and we &c
not expect we can supply the demand.
Persons wishing machines, or any further in
formation respecting them, will please address.
