Hardness and strength.

The hardness of the Diamond Iron does not
depeud upon any process of chilling or tenn
neripr. but upon the nature and constitution
of the iron. it is therefore uniform and every,
where the same. The back OF the mold
boaid is lust as hard as the front; no wearing
through thin hard surface and exposing the
soft metal underneath, and no differing de-
pree of hardness upon the surface. The
.yrought iron and steel which enters into the
metal gives it great strength as well as hard
ness Indeed the strength of this metal is 80
great that the manufactures have no occasion
to brace and strengthen their plows, but they
make the parts thin and light, and they do not
hesitate to subject their plows to any strain
or test of strength that any plow Is ever prop
erly subjected to. AS an evidence OF the
strength and hardness of this iron we Will
STATE that we have seen two dies used togeth.
or in forming carriage springs, one made OF
fine bigh tempered Steel and the other OF
diamond Iron, having only its hardness and
strength. The steel die was readily worn Out
in use, but the diamond iron die gave no eVl
dence of wear or injury. This great power
to resist wear and diminish friction Is an IN
valuable quality of these plows. 1t must give
great lightness of draft, and long service pc
fore the plow is W, m out. We have never
seen mold worn out, but we believe they
will outwear two of any kind now IN use. we
know the points will outwear Two or three o.
any chilled common iron, and we have
abundant evidence that they ofien do out
wear eight or ten common chilled iron points

from among us. He leaves many
mourning friends and relatives behind;
yet we should remember that we have

older persons of our community. As the
church bell tolled we thought how often he
had tolled the same bell at the approach of the
solemn funeral train. His home was very
near the church which seems very emblematlc
of his life with God. Father Brandenburgh
leaves a faithful companion who is now al
most eighty years of age. His family con-
sisted of nine children, fUUr of whom are
dead. He has gone to BIS reward. No more
shall we receive his safe counsel; no more
shall we be inspired to action by his quick
step and plain speech. We have one more
friend in Glory. His example is worthy OF
our imitation. Let US ever hold in reverence
the old hymn which he SO loved to hear sung,

The evening sky now presents to the view
not less than four planets, in addition TO the
usual display of fixed stars. Venus is con-
spicuous in the west in the early twilight.
Jupiter is nearly due south, and is prominent
in the western quarter till after midnight. At
about s o'clock Saturn rises, followed twenty
five minutes afterward, by his lesser brother
Mars. who is at present the most prominent
object, as he is very near the earth. Mars and
Saturn are visible in the eastern quarter from
that time until after midnight, and do no. set
in the west till after sunrise. These two
planets are now about four degrees asuDder,
