SWindling Savings Banks.

Swindled savings-bank depositors are
fast becoming large class among US.
Scarcely a day passes but some case of
especial hardship arising out of the
criminal mismanagement of the bank
officials is brought to light. There is
one feature of the successive breakings
of the savings banks which makes it
imperative on the community to pro.
vide a means of Furnishing the rascals
who dissipate the savings of the hum
bier asses,-namely the discourage
ment it gives to habits of economy
among them. If the laboring man
who spends his surplus earnings for
rum is to have as much at the end of
the year as his thrifty fellow who de-
MES himself the bestial luxury of
drunkenness that he may put little
money up for the ''rainy day. what
encouragement does the thrifty man
have?

THE TRIAL OF THRESH1NG MACHINES.

THE TRIAL OF THREsH1NG MACHINES.
Perhaps no one thing attracted more atten-
ton, or proved of greater interest to those
present, or to farmers throughout the State,
than the grand trial OF threshers. The con-
test having narrowed down to the minnesota
Chief" manufactured by Seymour, Sabin &
Co., of Saltwater, and the sGiant," repre-
sented by the inventor, VIM. Leyde Of
course the two machines had their friends,
but the admirable qualities displayed by the
"Chiet" fully warranted the judges in giving
it the blue ribbon, which they did, accom-
panied by the following testimonial:
''Your special committee appointed to de-
eide upon the merits OF the two threshing
machines-the minnesota Chief" and the
"Giant," would respectfully report that upon
the trial, the minnesota Chief' with 80
inch cylinder threshed 40 bushels of wheat in
25 minutes, being an average OF one and sew
enteen twenty-ffths of bushel per minute,
making clean work with very little waste
over the stacker, and no waste under the ma
chine. The "Giant'' threshed 16K bushels
in twelve minutes, with a Sc inch cylinder,
being an average of * bushels per minute,
The character of the work was fair, with
much waste over the stacker and consider
able waste under the machine Your COM
mittee, therefore, award the diploma to the
'Minnesota Chief"

Do you marvel that these unfortu-

John Knox, opposite whose house is
the well which supplies High street
with water. Under the house of the
great reformer is whisky shop; and
those who see how difficult of access is
the we'll, and what slaves it makes of
feeble or delicate women, Can hardly
wonder that large percentage of the
population should take more kindly to
whisky than water. ''It is impossible
for these people to be clean in their
dwellings, clothes, or persons under
present circumstances, declares the
writer of s'Notes on Old Edinburg."
sob God only knows what it is to
slave after the water! It is killing
me and, in the glen we came from,

woman sobbing at the thought of the
misery about her. Mind you all these
people are Scotch, not Irish, as my
friend intimated when calling Edin-
burgh whited sepulchre. Many Of
them are as honest as they are poor.
