PATENT MILK BUcKET.-We were shown one
of these buckets few days since, by our friend
Mr. John f. Raitt, who is soliciting orders for
the same in this district. 1t is certainly one of
the most complete improvements for what it is
intended for that can be imagined 1t combines
many qualities that will recommend it TO every
one. 1t is at the same time used for bucket,
strainer and stool. 1t is SO arranged that not q
particle of dirt of any kind can possibly get into
the milk, want much needed and long wished
for. The milk is strained as it comes from the
COW, obviating the necessity of an extra strainer
and extra work. The bucket has only to be seen
to be appreciated, and the reasonable price at
which they are sold places them within the reach

THE WHEAT PRosPECT-Thc outlook for
an unusually large yield of wheat in this
county is not as bright rs it was two weeks
ago. Many fields are said to be affected with
rust, and in Others the lower leaves have
turned yellow, as though prematurely rpen-
ing, Some ofthe wheat is too heavy to stand
upright, which will cause loss as well as
increase the labor of harvesting. There will
undoubtedly be n great crop of straw, but
many farmers are beginning to fear that the
harvest will not be so plenteous as was anti

The report of Mr.. Roberts, from the Com

he should demur against giving so much he

AN UNTIMELY FRosT,-Last Saturday a
cold wave swept down from the North, bring
ing with it ice and snow, hail and frost. In
the upper portion Of this county the good
people were treated to one and in some places
two lively hail storms, the icy pellets cover
ing the ground like snow. On Sunday night
there was sharp white frost, sufficient to
stiffen the leaves of the blosoming clover, and
nip the tender shoot of unprotected beans, to-
matoes and other early planted garden vege-
tables. Even corn and potatoes in some
places suffered considerably. 1t is also feared
that great deal of wheat that was in bios
som has been injured. The garden truck,
corn, &c, can be replauted, but whatever
damage has been done to wheat is of course
beyond repair. We trust, however, that the
loss will not be serious.

Tommy would come running out. And

| SPEAKING PHOSOGRAPH AT THE

The lecture-room OF the Polytechnic
Institute ut Cooper Urion was crowded
last evening, during an exhibition OF
Thomas Edison's speaking aud musical
telephones and speaking phonograph
Many successful experiments were per-

Johnson. who filed in the gaps between
the experiments with sketches Of Mr..
Edison's career as an inventor. Mr.. Ed
ison was also present and assisted in the
use of the machines. The experiments
with the telephones were marred some
what by failure TO procure suitable cleo
trio batteries. but the audience were able
to hear quite distinctly fragments OF
songs sung in another part ofthe building.
The greatest interest, however. was
manifested in the speaking phonograph.
The experiments with this machine were
entirely satisfactory. The machine is 80

foil, revolves close 10 disk which vi
brates with each sound of the voice. A
sharp point attached 10 the centre of the
disk touches the tin, foil and leaves an
impression for each vibration OF the disk.
By means of q spiral screw on the axle
OF the cylinder, the latter is made to
move in the Direction of its length, in
order TO keep the point in contact with
fresh portions of the Toll. While the ex-
perimenter is sceaking. with his mouth
close to the machine, the cylinder is made
to revolve at uniform rate Of speed
When the cylinder is again turned In the
same manner, the Impressions lett in the
foil by the first rotation give to the point
