Ii connection with the centennial exhibition
at Philadelphia thorough trial OF reapers and
mowers took place at Schencks station, abou,
20 miles from Philadelphia on the 9Th inst From
a lengthy account of the trial we copy the fol
lowing:
In the trial Of harycstcrs at Schenck's Station
the present week, the superiority of the Peerless
has been pleasantly conspicuous. The easy
draft Of the Peerless; its perfect self-raking ad-
juncts; its utter freedom from any tendency to
clog; its simplicity, yet thoroughly evident per-
lection of construction, and the facility with
which it can be changed from a mower to a
reaper, were points in its favor which command
ed goods words from all spectators during both
weeks Of the taial. The harvesting tests were
as novel and exacting as the moving, and in all
of them the Peerless held steadily ahead Of ey-
erything in the shape of competition. 1t proved,
in addition to its other features of supremacy,
absolutely easy 70 manage, and, while it did its
work with an unriYaled completeness and dis
patch, gave no trouble whatever to the driver.
Its success was full comprehensive, and without
Il parallel in the cases OF any of its competitors.
was equally interested in observing the
marked supremacy Of the Thomas Rake over all
its rivals. Thi, Rake, in a severe practical field
test, showed it, superiority in numberlcss ways.
1t raked immense windrows, punched hay per-
fectly, and earned special encomiums by its ia
cillty in dumping. The specimen Rake, like ali
made and sold by Messrs. John Thomas " Sons,
OF Springfield, Chic, was seen to be essentially
light in draft, yet built with perfect solidity.
Both the above implements are sold by Porter,
Thompson & Co.. in this city.

Some time since one James Lynch was tried in
Galesburg for illegal liquor selling and convicted
but jumped his bail and came to Ottawa, taking
up his domicile at " Rock Gibraltar" west of the
city. Several attempts had been made to capture
the fellow by single individuals, but his col
legues at the house had kept close watch for
the officers, and when informed of their APP
proach he would slip out of the house into a
rayine, back of the shebang, and elude their
search. On Monday night deputy sheriff Hall
tried his hand at a capture. Instead, however,
of going alone, he took some three Others with
him, surrounding the house and preventing his
usual retreat He was bagged, and for few
days has been collecting facts for an essay on the
La Sale county Jail, "to be continued" at Gales
burg, etc.
