srW BE President Of the United States.
On this prophesy we stake our reputation
as reader Of public opinion" Well,
now, if we mistake not, Brick prophesied
before and favorably, during the Mcclellan
and Seymour campaigns. He was false
prophet then, and he has made no progress
in prescience since. McClure's Philadel-
phia Times says -aBrick pays a high
tribute to Gov. Tilden as Presidential
candidate by opposing his elestion." Ac-
cording 70 that, Brick can hardly be said
TO have much reputation to stake.

THR FlRsr REAPER In the historical sketch
Of Union Bridge, from the pen Of Joshua
SwitIer, Esq, and which was read by him on
the Centennial Fourth, at that place, will be
found an interesting and valuable contribution
to our local annals. We refer to the invention
of the Reaper, by one Jacob Il. Thomas,
from which it seems, that the principle upon
which the modern machine is constructed,
viz: the lateral knife movement is identical
with that Of the Thomas machine, operated
by the inventor, resident of Union Bridge,
on the farm now owned by John d. Clemson,
about the year 1911.
Mr.. Switzer, true to the instincts of the
careful historian has furnished the most un.
doubted proof of his statement, showing con-
clusively that the first reaping machine, now
world.renowned, was made and first used
within the present borders of Carroll county.
