SppRnsoRlrY on AMERICAN RkArIse
MACHINES. We are permitted to make
The following extract from letter to Col.
J Fenner Lee, Of this county, from his
father who has for several years resided
ID France The letter Is dated
TorRs, July q, 1874.
There HAS been a grand exhibition Of now
ers and reaping machines, near here, at Met.
hay, last week. | had complimentary
ticket, and went out to see the trial. Itdrew
together large concourse Of people, and the
deepest interest was excited in seeing the
working Of the machines, so entirely new to
SO many people, and now becoming so inn
portant, as harvest hands are becoming
50 expensive this year, They have demanded
and receised, in some cases which have
heard OF, 8 francs per day, III gold Of course.
Besides, Notwithstanding the high price they
are very scarce, and the importance Of har-
vesting at once, in consequence Of the rapid
ripening Of the wheat, made the case worse.
You cannot conceive what a difference there
is in favor Of the American machines. in
lighlness Of appearance, in draft, IN workman
ship of machine, and the aeatness in doing
the work indeed in everything. There was,
in fact, no competition. Johnston's ma
chine from New York (Lockport), and Wood
were altogether the best. Johnston's mower
was first Wood had none there), and the rest
were nowhere. One English one got an
honorable mention, but every one on the
field was unanimous in favor Of Johnston's
machine. There we're ladies on the field,
too, taking deep interest. saw one in
particular, graceful and handsomely dressed,
/ suppose with her husband, following close
to the machine, in the hot sun, and did so as
long as il was cutting. Johnston's man told
me that in all France there were only 80 ma
chimes last year Of his. This year, thus far,
he had sold 100, and think he told me that
Europe now took 5000 Of their machines this
year 5000 20 to Germany, very large num-
Der TO England and other parts Of Europe.
They are all made in New York, and shipped
from there. Is not that a singular fact
They have an Office in London, where their
European orders are sent. Whythen do they
not manufacture in England? | must think
it is because they have so much superior
wood, and use machinery so largely in manu-.
featuring. There we're machines here even
from Poland, but they all adopt the Ameri-
eau principle, but they were so coarse and
heavy that was surprised.

A Third Term.


Il Is sufficiently apparent, We think, that
General Grant means to attempt the folly
Of third term. Indeed, his political
followers, in various places, have already
formally presented his name in their
conyentions Tho Democrats Of the whole
eoaniry, while regarding this step as an
evidence Of the supreme folly and short
sighledness Of their fatuous opponents,
ought, nevertheless, TO hail il with pecu-
liar delight, aathe harbingerofa an easy and
certain victory in the presidential contest
Of the great centennial year The eenten-
NAL, il may reasonably be supposed, win
bring With il renewed and increased rever-
ence for the virtues and heroism of the
fathers Of tho republic, and especially Of
our beloved and venerated Washington,
whose example Of two terms, never yet
departed from, has acquired nearly the
force Of constitutional inhibition Of any
thing beyond. An innovation 50 at vari-
ance with the example Of Washington and
with that Of all oar succeeding Presidents,
coupled with the idea that it would be but
prelude to imperialism and the overtsrow
Of our republican form Of government,
would be sufficient to produce popular
phrensy against ii, which would whelm
cur would-be Caesar and his party in utter
confusion and overthrow. Let Grant and
hia judicially blinded and dazed adherentl
attempt third term, if they viii. Fol
ourselves, we hail it with delight, as thu
precursor Of his sure, crushing, and over
whelming defeat

will thus be seen that the decision In the An.

Of destroying the bill in defiance Of the Legs

The Tilton Beecher scandal contains
more plot and incident than anything ever
written BY Shakespeare. Dion Boucicault
will no doubt dramatize it at once, aud
bring it ont as first class sensation.
Tilton has written letter to the chair
man Of the Brooklyn Investigating Com
mittee declining to have anything more to
do with the Committee, and stating that
he has instructed his counsel to ''carry the
case from their jurisdiction to court Of
law
Francis D. Moulton, with the written
consent Of Beecher and Tilton, win appear
before the investigating committee, this
Saturday evening, with all the letters and
documents entrusted to him in the pro-
gress oil this ''sad affair Now for a
revelation that win cause each particular
hair to stand on end like the quilts Of the
fretfhl porcupine, and hold all mouths
agape.

LOCAL AFRArRs.

THE FErE CHAnPrFRr closed on Saturday
night at Odd Fellows Hall, The grounds
were illuminated al the usual hour, but soon
after rain began falling, and the Amphions
and their PATRONS adjourned to the Hall.
Everybody regretted il, but as soon as the
announcement was made willing hands offered
assistance in removing the tables and the re-
freshments. Just before the hour for closing
arrived, the Amphions played several waltzes
and schottisches, and the ladies and gentle
men INDUCED in dancing for sometime, That
it was a success, financially, as well MS socially,
every person WILDE glad to know. Few cities,
and no towns possess an Orchestra superior
to the Amphions. Always willing TO respond
to the frequent calls made upon them to play
at social entertainments, they have endeared
themselves 10 our citizens. To say that eveSy
one was pleased with the entertainment con.
veys only in slight degree the qualification
expressed. Messrs. p. Callaghan & Son, the
gas filters, deserve especial mention Tor the
manner In which they executed the part en-
trusted to them. Notwithstanding the short
notice given, they had everything in readiness
at the proper hour, and snperintended in per
son the lighting Of the gas each evening. Be-
low we give the names Of the ladies and gen
tlemen who so kindly assisted the Amphions,
