The machine uut only I cut the strongly lodged clover without clogging, but went the whole length of the piece in the mown grass, knives playing without any difficulty or den tnl application ; after 1 was in the field to wort, (and ■ not before as has been stated), brother Star drove up, its trained team aided its appearance on the field, the lodged, wet clover revealed a heavy side draft. Ihe brother Cayuga Chief—with more I gearing than a common farmer cares to look after— i waited till the day was far spent, and the wet had nearly left the grass, they gained nothing by com : iug under those circumstances. Brother Farmer, ' with a powerful array of help, one party coming all the way from Harrisbnrg, one of their machinists j present, one agent and two sub-agents, meant to j teach the young ideas " how tit shoot." From eir ! culating opinion among the bystanders of its merits | and demerits, should think that the farmers will j not send in a request for the manufactures of the ! Farmer to enlarge their factory to supply their wants. The Hubbard had not mowed over ten I minutes before it was apparant it rallied friends among strangers. Strong indications exist that it is considered one of the very first machines in the County. The dynamometer test, I regret, was to late to be witnessed by the great majority of farmers, not having a committee to decide for us, I was over ruled in numbers, that the machinery should be allowed to do its own work on said test. The Star asked the privilege of an extra hand to keep the odged grass off the Track clearer. I firmly objec ted as the Hubbard is built to do all such kinds of jobs without a servant. Star insisted, a man fol lowed and pulled grass off the track clearer, all the time under the test. Hubbard went in and done its nwit work- alone. Cayuga Chief had a hand very busy to keep the lodged grass from clogging. Far mer had a man true as steel to keep off the grass, he was only outdone by the clogging on return, all hands stopped and another friend helped remove the gathered clog, being great for one to masticate. The Star, Hubbard, and Cayuga Chief, had to have an extra splice on the tongue to make room lor the dynamometer to work, this brought the team some eighteen iuches further from the machine. The Farmer had an arrangement under the tongue so that the common short tongue was used in the test: I objected, a-s that would give lower figures, as it was with variation in length of tongue. The length of cutting bar, is as described by the Farmer. Result, two men to do the labor that one did on the Hubbard is obtained in going in, figures as low as the lowest, and in cutting off its beaten down grass back in return ; fifty pounds less draught than any of its competitors which went direct through without stopping, as reported and taken from the papers at the time of our judge Dr. ME- Affee. THE LITTLE HUBBARD MOWER. Orwell Pa., July 5, 1865. Bo?"

From reports and letters received, it is further ev ident that the Sunday Schools of our County were never more flourishing than at the present time. While we thus have occasion to thank God and take courage, it should not he forgotten that the work is yet hardly begun. The future results of our efforts will find a feeble comparison in their present beginning. It is now an undertaking ;it will be a glorious achievement. The Missionary makes special acknowledgement of his obligations to the Christian young men of Towauda, and others who, with much self-denial have cheerfully cooperated with him in the prose cution of the work thus far. "Instant in season and out of season " let us, Christian friends, "wea ry not in well doing," and "pray without ceasing" for the Divine blessing upon what we are endeav oring to do in the name of our common Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. R. CRITTENDEN. Towauda, July 10th, 1805. teg"" Or. T. S. Ui DE GRAFF, Oculist and Aurist, at Lis office opposite the Brainard House,is constantly performing some feat of scientific sur gery, in the way of opening people's eyes or ears, or relieving a patient of some embarrassing defor mity. We have repeatedly seen him bring the blind to sight, and in one instance put into success ful operation the organ of an ear for a child which was born with a head as smooth as a whistle in the place where the ears ought to be. The Doctor bored a hole, or cut a hole, or by some sort of magic made a hole, into which he adroitly inserted a hearing apparatus on the similitude of those made by nature, and 10, the chilil*3ieard. The de light of the mother when she knew that her infant noticed a noise can be imagined but not described. The pleasure of Dr. Up De Graff in witnessing such a scene as the result of his skill and science must be worth more to him than any possible fee he can obtain for his work. This incident was no ticed at the time of its occurrence in the columns of the Dally Advertiser. On Friday last the Doctor operated for cataract upon an old man who resides in a neighboring township of Pennsylvania. The man, whose name is SILAS SMITH, has been entirely blind for seven years. He came to Dr. Up De Graff with a certifi cate from Archibald Fellows and T. M. Watts, Overseers of the Poor for the town of Canton, to the effect that he had been for forty years a resi dent of the town of Canton, was a very respectable man, but in indigent circumstances, and unable to incur a heavy bill of expenses for surgical opera tion. His neighbors, out of sympathy for him,had contributed something to partially pay his expen ses, and they asked Dr. Up De Graff, in consider ation of the facts, to make his charges in accor dance with the circumstances of the patient, and if possible in justice to himself to remit the entere bill. It was just such a case as the Doctor liked to get a hold of. He therefore took AD. SMITH in hand, and in fifteen minutes showed him the sunlight of heaven. It is needless to say that in accordance with the request of Mr. SMITH'S friends and neigh bors, he remitted the entire bill, and sent him on his way rejoicing. He not only did this in the case of Mr. SMITH, but has done it a hundred times before, and holds himself ready every day to do it to all cases similarly authenticated and worthy. We saw the man when he first began to see, and really envied the Doctor the skill which enabled him iu so little tune, and apparently so easily, to accomplish such remarkable things. We imagine also the Doctor enjoys it, for he seemed as happy as his patient, and since he did it for nothing had a right to be. Dr. Up De Graff informs us that he has perform ed more operations in this and other classes of surgery during the last few weeks than ever before. His rooms arc at all times thronged with patients from all sections of the country. He never fails in any case which is not absolutely incurable. The fact that his large and profitable practice contin ues to increase for year after year, rendering his Eye and Ear Infirmary a fixed and permanent in stitution in Elmira, is evidence enough of the real and genuine quality of his skill. Quacks can live and prosper for a brief time on a manufactured sensation, but only those in any profession who are equal to what they advertise can outlive the test of time, aud remain permanently and increas ingly successful. The reputation of Dr. Up De Graft' as one of the most skillful and scientific Oc ulists and Aurists in the whole country was long since thoroughly established. He needs no cer tificates to that effect, and yet so well are we im pressed with the excellence and value of his Insti tution that we esteem it both a pleasure and a duty to draw the attention of the public occasionally to it.— Elmira Advertiser.
