It is a little larger than the REVIEW, is neatly printed and full of in terest to Greenbackers. As an evidence of the amicable relations existing between the L. V. R. It. officials and the present management of the S. L. & S. R. R.

At the conclusion of this in teresting service Presiding Elder WILBOR detivered an able, logical and profound dis course on the '' Mind of Jesus." After which several hundred, embraeiug members of other Churches, went forward to the com munion. INTERESTING PLOWING MATCH.— Our enterprising and extensive agricultural im plement dealer, Mr. R. M. WELLES, having appealed from the decision of the judges on plows, at the late fair, the managers of the Agricultural Society appointed Friday last for a practical test of the merits of the sev eral different paterns of plows now in the market. The ground selected was. J. M. Fox's rich flat land. The piece had been in grass for ten years, and the sod was heavy. Mr. J. W. IRWINK entered the Syracuse plow, Mr. R. M. WELLES, the Wiard, and C. W. HOLCOMB the Oliver. The ground was staked out and the plows started about 2p. m. The first to strike a furrow was the Syracuse, and with one slight variation the 65 rods was executed as straight as an ar row FRANK CIIILSON held the plow and drove the team. The work was so well done that both plow and plowman were highly praised by the large number of interested gentlemen present. The work of the other plows was excellent and any one of them ought to be satisfactory. To a novice the Syracuse appeared to be more easily handled and turned the ground a trifle more evenly, than the Wiard, though some of the specta tors, more experienced in such affairs than our reuorter, said they preferred the latter. The Oliver, for such land as the test was made on we judge to be superior to either of the others, as it cut a wider and deeper fur row. As to the difference in draft, and difficulty of handling we are not prepared to judge—that is a matter which the judges wilj report upon. As most of the fanning lands ill this eouu- , TOWANDA, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1881. ty arc much rougher than the lot selected, it was suggestedlthat another trial be had of "stony ground," and Saturday morning the contestants renewed the contest on a lot in East Towanda where stones predominated over earth. The number of spectators was not so large as on the previous day. but the spirit and interest manifested by the repre sentatives of the different plows was main tained at " fever heat." We could see but little difference in the quality of the work, but Mr. CHILLSON, who held the Syracuse still sustained his reputation as the champion " plow boy." At the conclusion of the contest the Judg es requested the agents of the different plows to explain the advantages claimed for each, which was done in an intelligent manner, but still leaving the impression that there was little choice among them. The favora ble impression on our part made bv the Oli ver at the first trial, was not eradicated, and we are forced to confess that were we in need of such an implement, it would have our preference, although either of the others should be entirely satisfactory to farmers. We.liave not yet been furnished with the of ficial report of the judges,, but one of them informs us that they decided that the Syra cuse plow did the best work on Mr. Fox's ground, and that the Wiard, in their opinion, is preferable for stony ground. Under the regulations the Oliver plow was not permitted to compete with the others, but by invitation took part in the exhibition. The judges said they considered it equal to either of the others—a conclusion at which most of the spectators arrived. We might also add, young Mr. UOLCOMB, of Ulster, who held it is an excellent plowman. River pirates and not honest Fenians were the authors of the attempt to burn up the Cunard steamer Bothnia, in New York harbor on Sunday night.
