Practical Communism,

On Monday last, Mr.. Benton Garringer,
whose farm lies three miles northwest of
Washington, on the Jeffersonville pike,
took his new reaper and binder and used
it in cutting wheat one afternoon. He
left it in the field, where he expect to use
it the next day; but, on going to his field,
on Tuesday morning, he found his ma
chine in ashes. Some fiend had burned
it up.
Our exchanges have contained notices
of anonymous letters and postal cards, as
being sent to farmers, cautioning them
against using these machines, as they
would be burned if they attempted to use
them, but this is the first that we have
heard of their putting their deVilish
threats into execution. This is practical
| communism. It would be well for farm
ers, who have machines, expecting to do
their harvesting with them, to put guard
over them, and shoot down any man who,
under the cover of nights darkness, at
tempts to apply the torch to his property
Since the above was put in type, we
are informed that it is the opinion O1
those who have examined the burnt ma.
chine, that there was no appearance OF
ordinary combustibles having been used
for the purpose of destroying the reaper
but that it must have been effected by
the use of some inflamable fluid.

sion was had about the prospects of the
road, and survey was ordered from Har-

ling, $4,000; Harrisburg, $15, 600; Grove
City, $4,000; Columbus, $50, 900. Wash
ington reported an addition of 1000
stock subscription, making $4,000 at that
place. Over $34 900 have been thus far
subscribed, mostly at the lower end, and
the soliciting committees will not cease
their labOrs until sufficient stock is taken
to put the road under contract.

EDS. HERALD:
The children and friends of Charles
Briggs, Esq, met at his residence, in the
western part of Ross county, where he
was married and settled more that fifty
years ago; the result of his marriage be-
ing IA children, 10 of whom are now liv-
ing. The company was large and very
pleasant one, and was addressed, in a
very appropriate manner, by Rev. VIM.
Mallow, younger brother of Mrs. Briggs.
His remarks were quite suited to the
occasion, and brought tears to the eyes of
more than one, as he depicted the hard
ships through which they had to pass as
they struggled through life, from their
rude cabin N the woods to the now eIe-
CANT brick mansion; which is one of the
finest in the county.
The hours were trily enjoyable to the
children-grand and great-grand--andth the
few friends of their early childhood
After the feasting, came some music and
dancing and enjoyable conversation, after
which, they parted, with many good
wishes to the old and happy pair.

A few More reasons why every
Lady should buy the
" BPOadhGad Jamestown AlpaCdS. "

1. They are the cheapest goods in the
market, when their service is taken into
consideration.
2. They can be worn in damp weather
or in a shower, without being ruined by
curling, or shrinking..
3. They are all double width goods, full
twenty-seven inches wide, and made from
the very best materials, by experienced
wOrkmen, and cannot be excelled by any
similar goods, either Foreign or Domestic.
4. The manufacture, dying and finish
ing is done in such manner that these
goods can be washed and done up as we'll
as linen suit, without the least injury to
the fabric, and the merchant selling is
authorized to warrant them az such.
5. In their manufacture there is no
weighting, stiffening, or artificial lustre
used. Thus showing just what the goods
are and will be until worn out.
9. No expense is spared, and the great
est care to make every color as fast as the
perfection of skill and the purest dyes will
make them.
Be sure and examine these goods, and if
