Sinith is one of the oldest residents in this vicinity. His fath er,-John Smith, Senior, moved to this place from near Ithaca, N. Y., sixty years ago, when his son was but sixteen. Mr. Smith moved upon the farm where he now resides fifty years ago, when it was all a wilderness, lie chopped and cleared, built him, a log cabin near where his house now stands, and by his industry and energy, with no capital, but a strong will and a strong arm, he cleared him self a good home, , where ho now resides, with a plentiful competence at the ago of seventy six, to enjoithe fruits of his labor. There were twenty-nine present—his three brothers, their wives, his three sisters and their husbands. Their aggregate ages was . six hundred and fifty-five years. Among the number.waslW. E. Smith, of Ilingham'i Mill, N. 1.; John Smith, of Barton, N. )7.; Isaac Ennis, of Liberty Corners; George Steele, of Burlington, and John Sullivan, of Ulster. The ! table was bountifully spread. The hos pitatity, the genial spirit, the sociability and mutual good feeling that prevailed, was-en joyable in the highest sense.. At the close the Scriptures were read. appropriate remarks made, and prayer offered by Bev. Geo. Steele. of Burlington. Many years may these social re,nnions come, where hearts may unite with hearts, and hands clasp hands, for_ of such is the brotherhood of man. SCUIPTA.

"FOSSIL'S" REPLY TO ,SECRETARY WILT'S .WISTAKES Wei the Republican.) • lir ,When I wrote my "Review of the Report of Judges on Draft of Chilled Plow Ttialpeteber Mit." it w as' with the kindekt feelings toteard Secretary Wilt—and which feelings have not changed—and not intended as an "attack" upon him. That part which gave offence; was actually written in the spirit of fun. But see what a blunder an old "fossil of forty to fifty yei i ts ago" made in an attempt at joking I I am very sorry, indeed, that my unfortunate article, (iu that respect), - made the worthy Secretary so excited. I will do Lim the justice to say. that. if ho had waited .(till calmer moments. I do not think ho,would have used so harsh language and put such unworthy construction upon my motives. I confess that I misunderstood him, when I, in my interview, (sought for the par pose of showing hint his mistake), he quite confidently adhered to the Correctness of his (new light?) method ollobtaining his figures of :force in-pounds per 100 inches earth turned. Wheal claimed -"that the' average, width of furrowit multiplied by the average depth showed the actual number of cubic inches'of earth turned by each plow," ho- replied "that it simply obtained the number of square inch es of a cross-section:of the furrow. and not the cubic inches." This is the substance hie claim as I recollect it. When I Made the illustration of a piece of timber, I understood him to disagree with me in my illustration. Oat of tbis grew the statement that he says is false. My conclusions wore hastily formed ' and with insufficient understanding, and I am satisfied that I was wrong- and did the Captain injustice. Neither did I comprehend his method: the results of which I knew to be absurd to Say the least. Until I read the Captain's article, I was not aware I had asserted in my "review" "that my motives were pure and lofty." It wiltbe a sufficient answer, if each reader will place the two articles side by side and carefully compare thorn, and judge for himself whethe Secretary Wilt is jaetidod in his interpreta tion of my motives. In stating that I was not willing, as a deal er in Chilled Plowa, to claim that any chilled plow "only - required. a draft of 37 pounds to 42 pounds to 100 cultic inches of earth turned," I meant to be understood that I did not wish to be a party to any such ridiculous claim.— It *mild :be a transpareat falsehood, that woulldo those dealers claiming it, more hurt than good. I told Secretary Wilt oil the morn ing:a:Oct. 22d, I think, !.that the plows drew -MY pounds and upwards to the 100 cubic inches of earth turned." Of course , I knew when I heard of them, that his conclusions, were wrong, but:did not have time to make out the correct figures till after I called upon him to show him his erroneous figureia The Captain had evidently obtained "new light" in the science of fignres, and a "fossil of forty or fifty years ago" failed.to convince him .of any error. Now; I tfo hope that one Secretary, will .not get excited again; for rather than have a repetition, / tri/Itake Wall back ! Please permit me, for the benefit of all new lights,,to give an old fossil's simple .way; and reasons therefor, of obta.iiiing-the average 100 cubic's inchts of earth turned by it plow. First, let me state, that this simple L rule is not origi nal with me, bat is common to all the draft trials; thUt I have ever heard of, proofs of which I have in my possession'. Taking the average depth r and width, multiply them to gether and' you have the average number of cubic inches turned by each plow. • Suppose, for instance, that a plow cuts a furrow 8:15 inches at an outlay of 500 pOtinds draft. - The plow will cat and turn 120 cubic inches. This will be 416Y,i pounds to 100 cubid to show in akW words, the correct= - ness of a fossil's simple way of calculation, I will endeaver to explain as follows: A, plow point enters the earth as a wedge; the soil is gradnitily cut, raised and turned till it leaves the rear ehd of the mold-board, and i this is done little by little. The power required to do that little is expended all the way from. • the er-. treme front edge of the wedge until the soil leaves the rear end of theinold-board. It make's no difference what the length of the plow share and mold-bc4rd is, the rule Is the same; the soil is not turned as st finished furrow, until the entire work is aced-nplislied ir.ch by inch, if you please. It is for us to find what force is required to do this finished work inch by inch, If the point and' mold-board are 38 inches in length as with tho Wiard "A," or,. tour_ feet; or more, as in the ,case of some Scotch plows, it is all the same; only the more gradually the work is done, all things else being equal, the lighter the draft. Now suppose, as in the Bxls .Itich furrow, mentioned above, the plow,after fully enter ing the ground and awning 'its furrow, is stopped; then started forward , one inch; it turns 120 cubic inches at an expenditure or 500 lbs. draft. It is again stopped, then star ted forward one inch at another expenditure of 500 lbs. or by the "Rule of Three"-41G% lbs. to the 100 cubic inches. Let this be done twelve times to a foot of furrow length and GOOO lbs. of force-are actually expended in plowing a furrow 8 - 115 inches br one foot . in length. Has an old fossil been able-to make himself understood? In one looted plow trial at Anborn, N. Y., June 20th, 1878, under the auspices of the Cayuga County Agricultural Society, the drafts per 100 cubic inches were as follows: Wiard 626 lbs., Gale 648, Oliver 673. N. Y. Atlamant,73l, Syracuse 808, and the Gaylord 1050 lbs. ' R. M. W3LLES.

Having left Russell at . 520 o'clock the trip to Ranais city, was made during tho night: With the departure of the evening sun the broad rolling prairies merged into darkness, and wo were com pelled to bid them adieu for the • night. When "Aurora" sent his first rays and arous ed ns from slumber, language cannot des cribe the thrill of pleasure it gave us to see i A Soloinuma in the faint morning light trees on all sides. Not the grand old forest monarchs of the out but the growth or eastern Kansas. The re clining chair was a luxury to the tired body but it had lost it charm, only as it could af ford a position.whero we could feast oar eyes on the fresh green trees. _ _ ill We found Topeka wrapped in the arms of "morphous" at thii early hour but it had the appearance of a slitting, business city. A number of our' passengers got off here, it being the time of the annual State Fair. '' We reached Kansas city,' in time for break fast. It is a .prosperous and beautiful city. Bids - fair to rank first among western metro polist. We spent the day -looking at its eights and speculating uu what it would probably bó in the near future. At four o'clock, p. m., we-took train for Davenport, lowa. The country through Mo., and southern lowa. was a pleasant sight. In place of the unbroken prairie we saw small herds of cattle ifi Acids of Clover. Clciver everywhere, in the pastures, the wheat fields and the road-sides, it seemed to grow spontaneous. -Yet as :there was con siderable sameness, we did not so much re-- Bret making a portion of this trip during the night.' - Morning again surprised us with a beauty fill bight. The Mississippi river lying in full view; and as wo rimmed' the picturesque city . of D., we were delighted with its pretty homes nestling among the bluffs and its neat busi ness streets.. • We spent the morning resting at the. St. James Hotel. Tho day was ono of the finest of the season and from our window . we looked out upon the river. In front of the hotel was the ferry boat crossing. It' was indeed a pretty sight, the boat gliding so quietly over the sparkling waters with its load of living souls, impatimit to be carried to the other side of the stream, where others were waiting , to return. The banks of tbo river we noticed were dotted with neat, pretty and efen do 'gent homes. • • After a few hours rest we made the tour of the city and atlour o'clock were again ready to resume our jotirne:y. As we made our way north-West into lowa, wo MISSOti the' wheat fields and upon asking the cause Were told that wheat was not a succeed iu lowa, and learned thatcorn, swine and cattle were the ,farmers dependence. Wo saw a large acreage of corn but poorly cared,because of the =usu ally dry season. The tato rains had given good fall pasture and the cattle were doing well. ~We soon learned that the, potato clop was a partial failure. Potatoes selling at 0.25 per bushel. An improvement on' Kansas, where 4hey were selling in Russell Co., for $2.40 per bushel. As night famejna the clouds gathered and when we reached our destination, Oxford Junction, the rain was gently falling. Oi ford is not a city but a Wisp town, Minot:trad ed: by timber that skirts the .Wapsipinican river.
