f. u. MOORE, Respected Friend:
Before saying anything about the
Haymakcr, | will refer briefly to my ex-
periencc with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Threshers
and Horse Powers, two combined Reap
ers and Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece of
machinery have had on my farm. On
its introduction here was induced to
try one, Notwithstanding my repugnance
to its mysterious o.ion, and the result
was my utter surprise at the ease with
which heavy and even weedy grass falls
before so tiny machine, and as a Lawn
Mower, | have not seen its equal, cut
ting as it does close under trees and
up to shrubs and plants. The expenses
50 far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, half-a-dozen sections, which are
still on hand. Ny man says be has one
fault with the Haymaker, it does not
make poisc enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence he has to
walk behind bis team.

Free Fight.-A free fight took place on
Tuesday night last, in Texas" between Ed
ward Warren and Alfred johnson and their
friends (all coored) No one except johnson
received blemish in the row. He was struck
with one of the missiles flying thick aud fast
and felled to the ground iusensble. He re-
mains to the time of going to press in this
condition. His skin was not broken or
bruised and it puzzles the doctors to discover
the injury.
| 1t would be well for the officers of the
law to visit that part of our town occasionally
to look after its order. On last Saturday
night row occurred in the same neighbor-

another one.

of the oldest and most respected ladies of our
community, died on Wednesday night last at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. r. Mil

both old and'young, in the place and was
much loved and respected. Her funeral will
take place to-day at 2 O'Clock, P. NJ, and her
remains will be inferred in the old Episcopal
Cemetery, near Rock Greek, where her hus-
band was buried many years ago.

HELD AT BAY ny \ TIGREss.-A tigress
with young cubs is always very savage, and
will sometimes charge anybody approaching
her den or other resting place before her
own presence is ut all suspected. Three
men in the service of the writer were once
obliged to take refuge on a rock only some @
or Z feet high, where an angry tigress bayed
them, and repeatedly threatened to charge
home for at least two hours. One of the
men was armed with a sword, and the
other two had nothing but sticks in their
hands. The tigress rouched at the very
foot of the rock. which was small but fiat
topped, over and over again. She there
alternately blinked and glared at the I'M
fortunate men, who only succeeded in keep
ing her off from actually springing on them
by dint of vigorous and incessant shouting,
and constantly changing front, according as
the tigress herself kept moving from one
side of the rock to another, and occasionally
retiring n few PAGES, and then stealing
forward md crouching again. The state
uf their throats, and the terrible husky
whisper to which their voices were in the
end reduced, may easily he imagined.
