NJ. T. CRATTAN, Austin, MINI. Dear
Sir.:-1n accordance with previous notice,
l yesterday repaired to Lime Springs, to
contest in field trial, supposing that all
the harycsters in the market would be in ;
but the Edward and Adams & French
avoid field trials and barley harvests !;
hence, were not out. But the Marsh and
Marsh Binder, the Minneapolis and Beloit
Haryesters were on the field, as also, our
own King of the field, Mccormick Har-
vestcr.
Some inscriptions scoundrel, hoping
to beat us by foul, if not fair means, took
occasion, while We were at dinner, and
previous to starting for the field, to spike
every box on the machine with sand and
gravel; but we were not to be beaten by
such dastardly devices, and went into the
field with the machine and it was the uni
versal testimony Of every one present that
the Nc Cormick drew as light or lighter
than the Marsh, considerable Ii ghter
than any other on the field. The Mime
apolis proved total failure as also, the
Marsh binder The Binder never got
around the field and succeeded in binding
only two or three bundles, the balance
running on the ground in very good
cradle swath. After satisfying every one
OF the superior qualities the Nc Cormick,
in standing grain, &c, we struck in ahead
OF the Marsh, thereby compelling them to
run as slow as we, when it was readily dis
covered that the Marsh would clog under
slow motion. We then repaired to a bad
ly lodged piece; the Marsh struck in first
and we behind, on the same swath, and in
going four rods Qhc length of the lodged
swath) we saved three bundles that the
Marsh run over, that ended the tTial-the
universal decision by disintcrcstcd men,
being in favor ofthc Nc Cormick, in every
particular, and as proof of the foregoing

THE LAWN PARTY.

Seldom any effort to create little So
cial diversion results moro successfully
than did the Lawn Party given at the
home of John F. Cook, in this city last
Friday night. The evening was peculiar
~ lovely-cool without being chilly
Freely, but no disagreeable wind blow
ing; it was dark, and yet the stars never
shonc more rcsp!cndcntly. The fine
grounds surrounding the mansion were
Illuminated artilicially, producing that
subdued, but at the same time grotesque
appearance which has been the theme
for song and poesy in all ages. In the
glare Of calcium and wax light, the house
was magnified in size until it became
seemingly a castle. The reflection upon
window panes and donduits made them
look like multiform crucibles filled with
molten silver, while the walls stood huge
and sullen and grand, as if commissioned
to give protection against the fierce spirit
oftire, which--though all -peryading, proves
harmless as the light. The great oaks,
with trunks erect and branches wide
extending, intcrlaced and lcaf-ladcn, be-
meath their shade forming grottos of
more than mural darkness, stand like
watchtul scntrics upon the confines of
disputed territory, ready to apprisc Of
DANCE: or to repulsc foe. The pelipg
and the shrubbcry seemed 6 be.tlomcnt:
the lights like camp Arcs, And ,Ae people
moving two and fro like an atlnv prepar<
ing to bivouac there for the night, but
there was nothing else that gave mar
tial appearance to the scene. Peace way
ed her olive branch, pleasure sat on every
face, and music begul'ng all hearts Of
envy, and purifying them, fell upon The
ear as sunshine falls upon flower blossoms
-tendcrly, carcssingly. AS the hours
heightened the amber moon rose up slow-
~ from the orient, shedding a mellow "a
dance upon all calming every pcrtur-
bed spirit, allaying each passionate i'm
pulse, soothing EACH lacerated heart
Then the voice ofprayer broke upon the
stiffness, and its tonos-incense laden,
waited 'eavenward, bearing an acccpta-
bic petition to the audience.cllamber of

fett,are Of the two machines was the
elevator. While the Marsh litters tho
main wheel and, gearing with straw and
fine grass, thereby clogging, the McCor-
mick runs perfectly clear, in consequence
of the closed elevator: The secret of the
ease of draft in McCormick's being in
consequence of avoiding all friction on
the elevator, the grain being lifted over
by the aprons, while the Marsh has to
drag it up under heavy pressure from
the spring. s.. p.
Considering the feeling there, it being
nearly universal for Marsh, previous o.
