nre IliteVt46k; We. tharefore ask the
r,ence at your hands;(as 'we trust .von are ad
rotates of truth and justice,) di puldish some
filet- respecting the mowmt! - inaehhie trial,
on the fluln of John Harrington, near
gontrose,-on the 15th day of July last.
We supptisql. previous to the tittentianee
• tif'ot.r Mr... 1. 1 ) . - Blood at snit) trial, with - Ole
Kitty A mtritian Harvester, tonnotaetured
by us, that die trial was In tie condittted
atid under the directitei of th e otheers
of the Snsquiiha nna Agrieuitural Society.
and that the 4jeet Of holding such it trial
was an' honest and sincere desire in di-cover
which Mowing and fteaping Mechlin.; among
the-e ill use, ;4 best adapted the use of the
fanners of your county. Not being resi
dents of your ',county, we are almost - entirely
unacquainted with Its citizens. and are there
fore, perhaps,lill prepared to judge of the
character and jintention of those persons who
had the management Oriinid trial.
• We do not .tvish to do bins:ice to any
man, lint if it were tin nckniot !edged fact
that Mr. I.3throp, the'Mmuly agent, was to
have the entire citnto.l (.1 the trial, chili
the groimd, a p pointing the judges, told tiiak
ing nut the reort himself we. do nut know .
how he couldl welt have had things in bettl-7
shape to suit ihis purposes. Why . a light
piece of standing grass, nue and n half miles
from the tai. t , was selected, is perhaps best
kuown to Mi. Lathmr; when there was ! an
abundance of hefty!, todged'and standing tint
why.. some three tons hi the acre,
also, heal!, !ridged clover, all within n few
rods of the tillagi‘, and much better ailapte4
to accomplish the object of theraufflity test
ing.the mowers on exhibition. We court
such trials with our machine; but tlri Man.
tiv Agents ajoid them.
Mr. LathrOp's aim would . not have been
necamplished by a trial in such grass; tho'
it would have affi,rdvd a beautiful opportunity
to-exhibit the valuable features discovered in
the. Manny machine by the closely d;...eriini n
a ti'ziy boaid of judges. It would have been
an excellent opportunity 'to exhibit the reril ,
rotor of the Trame,,x heel, and reel, in ..vhiAi'l
they ...aw so 'notch merit. Our machine has
a reel when wanted, - but it is- of little ti-e,
except in light or standing giass when the
wind i.i Moonily. The Manny •machine will
rot work well,in heavy standing or lodged
versa, a ithont removing the outer part of
the frame, 4eel and reel ; and alien that is
done, the machine has lust. its portability ;
the wood finer bar is unproteeed, and is li.
Ate to lava); the first time it hits any ob
•arnet'on. -The Kirby michitie has a strong •
%yr I,t i r ,, n finger bar and east-iron frame,
and miller 'will bret.k. warp, pa. or sp . i..
I ke tb.—i- of the Manny maehihe %et a t ih,.
.- a cn e lime the Kitby mathine..is much iln_
li,do er. We claim for our machine, durabil,
ity vastly greater than that of the Mildly.
It is a common thing to break the wood fin
trer bars, so ! that the Manny -agents usually
keep a supply of extra ones or band. The
draft of the, Kirby machine is one third less
than that of the Manny combined machine,
which has been evident at all trials held- this
.:f•lisnn, andrwhich all who were present at
:he Montrose trial saw, except the judges.—
Our machine- did better work at the trial
than the Manny, and was regarded by nearly
all present as decidedly the victor, except _by
Mr. Latbrdp's - comrnittee. . After the trial
at Mr. IlUrrington's, by request, our ma
chine went Into the f eavy grass. before men
tioned; near, the town, (Mr. Win. Po,t's,)
which it cut to the atimiration and, satisfic
ticn- of every beholder, except those interest
ed in the competing machine. , -I
m5.....i,i, ..5.,, cu.g.c.. uric yr the null ma- !
chine as now made, is a few inches shorter ,
than that of the Manny combined machine, i
still it-cut-i - just as wide, clean, and even ai
swath as the latter ; what the Manny cuts
more thanithe Kirby, it "lops in," requiring
to be re-ent, or a had ridge is left.
We . notice in a late number of the Repub.
limn a statement that an acre of grass .ryas
cut on.the4itrm of Messrs. Post in thirty.
five Minutes.—Gne of our machines, on the
23d of July, cut five acres of grass in, less
than two hours and a quarter ; being an
of average o about twenty-seven minutes -th
the acre: It was done by Mr. John F.- Sat
tier's team near this village. ' .
Points ht . Excellence of the Kirby Madan,.
—We do ;not claim fur the Kirby American
lb r vest erf all-the good qualities possessed by
any othermachine ; hut we do claim that it
excels thet Manny machine in the following
points. in nearly every one of which, we be
lieve idsk that it excels-all other machines
now know'R: ;.
1. it isi the best combined machine s being
a complete mower, and a coMplete reaper.
2. It is-the lightest in iweight.
3. Easiest draft, whether mowing or reap,
ing.
4. Strength and durability. •
5. Simplicity.
0. Abiity to work on rough ground,.and
in wet, Ic'dged, and tangled : grass. •
7. -Superior, quality of work - done, •either
as a moer oI reaper. '
8. Les weight:on horses' necks; and Oth
-=cheapet.
ler It is a well known fact to all famil
iar.l.
with he Manny machine, in cuttitiggrass
th.it is wt, heavy, lodged, or troubled with
vines, it IS necessary td have an extra hand
fullowin , the machine to assist in keeping it
from loading and clopping. This we c•msid
er a very serious objection; wb Should be
much ashamed if our machine required any
such attendance. .

lam Bigler, the recreant Senator from Penn
sylvania, is now ostracising from the Denw
cratic party . ,Donglas, Wise, Walker, •Stan
ton, and all who oppose.the Lecompton Con
stitution. His denunciation of Stanton, we
understand, is, particularly severe. Under
these circumstances; there is•nn obvious
_pro
priety, in printing the following extract from
a letter of this same Senator Bigler Ito Sec
retary Stanton, dated Clearfield, Pa., August
14, 1857: .
"Make my special regards to Governor
Walker, and s 4 to him that he has the pop.
ular heart with him throtighout the entire
country, except only the extreme South.=
Should his programme succeed, he will have
the most enviable prominence iz)f man

It having been cohcluded,, from Lieut.
Itfaury's calculations, that the average stets
of the weather was much better on the At.

decided this year to attempt laying the cable
in June. It was also thought best to *begin

sheets of water. At first, the transit was
effected by using bridges, where bridges a•.

the wires Oier the water, from carefully -se•
lected prominences on either bank. In time,
