The following concerning the Trip
Gear for Harvester.R akes, recently
patented by w. A. Osborn, will
doubtless be ofinterest to our readers:
The "invention consists of an au-
tomato trip device to be set for
causing a switch to be opened for any
predetermined number of rakes, to
sweep off the gavels with any one,
from the second upward, the rest be-
ing allowed to pass over the gavel for
enabling the due measure of grain to
be accumulated in it, together with
contrivances for disconnecting the
trip-gear to allow the gavels to be
carried any distance, whenever it
may be required, before being dis
charged, the arrangement being such
that the gavel may be discharged
with any one of the rakes at any
time the operator may desire, and
the order of the automatic action fol-
lowing the re-engagement of the trip.
gear will be the same for the next
gavel as before"
On Monday Mr.. Patterson of the
National Hotel began to tear down
the barn connected with the National,
which for about thirty-five years has
been standing on some part of the
block at the southwest corner of
Washington and Main streets, and
was most certainly one of the old
land marks in the city. The frame
was of hard wood hewn timbers,
twice the size that would now be put
into such building, and reminded
the writer of the barns which stood
on his fathers old home amid the
mountains Of New Hampshire. In
place of the old barn Mr.. Patterson
will at once commence the erection
of brick barn 100 feet north and
south by twenty-siX east and west,
facing on Main. The barn is to be
two stories high, a. and I2 feet in
the clear, and the north front on
Main street is to be "store Finished"
with plate glass and iron pillars and
window frames, equal in beauty to
any front on the street. Mr.. p. ex-
poets to have it finished in about six
weeks.

on Wednesday to Mr.. J. w. Angel
of this city four tickets to the sea
shore, by. the Evening News excur-
sion. Mr.. A. and family after spend
ing few days on. the sea shore and
among the White Mountains, will
visit Platsburg, N. Y, the Adiron-
dacks, and other points of interest in
northeastern N. Y. They will be
absent about four weeks. We wish
them pleasant time.
The I. o. G.. T., the R. T. of T.,
and the K. of H. now occupy the
hall over the National Bank, which
the I. o. G. T. have rented for a
series of years and fitted up in good
style.
Messrs. Dewey & Stewart, of the
Owosso Breeding Stables, recently
gave Reynard, son Of Louis Ma.
poleon, a trial of three heats, one OF
which was made in s:25. He made
the half in 100, a faster half than
| Jerome Eddy's. There is no fear OF
this stable losing its prestige for
while yet.-Michigan Farmer.

Michigan Farmer.
A representative of the Michigan
Farmer, one of the. very best agricul.
tural papers in the country, has beer
writing up the stock farms of the
county and some interesting "Pencil
