that the sympathies of iho majority : i tlio spectator wore with tl o Buckeye and Champion. Tic Champion was much admired for its clean cut tint., the cac with which it was drawn hy either one or two hoi'.-?os, and its quiet steadiness when in operation. In fact it walked through the sink holes as if upon level ground.

Ex-
On Wednesday moniirg last, according to a previous arrangement, a trial of Mowing Machines was had, in Alex. Sutherland's meadow, southeast of Blooniington. After considerable preliminary driving, stake setting, and waiting for the. arrival of all the machine.'!, seven Mowers were entered for the contest. The Climax, while moving off to take its position, was driven into a sink hole, and the tongue broken out with this exception, not an accident occurred during th morn'V The Committee to decide upon the merits of the Machine.;, were first chosen, and the gentlei ien selected for this rather delicate duty were, Win. O. Fee, Wm. Busk irk
and Aquilla Rogers. Choice of
ground was then made by lot, and
each machine started accordingly, j
JJo. 1. The Hubbard. 11. Gray. This machine, on the Tvst test, (cutting across the field) jut the grass well and close. The cutting bar on this; machine, is at the right, and a little in the rear of the seat, as is the case wiih ail the mowers, except the Champion the cutting bar being on the left ia that .Mower. The only objection we couid urge against the Hubbard, was the sawmill noise it makes, when at work, and that there seems,to an unskilled eye, to be more machinery in its combination than would be convenient to keep in order. !No. 2. The Hoover ExerxsiOB. Allen & Co.
This machine, in its cross-field !
test, did good work, as far as outti ig was concerned ; and here it is proper to remark that every machine on the ground cut grass well, and the only questions to bo determin d by a committee are, whether the draught of any particular machine is lighter than that of another,and whetaer one machine has any perceptible advantage over another in point of n ear or durability. Our opinion as to the relative merits of one machir e over another, cannot of course be formed from practical experience, ana hence, is wort'a no more than the opinion of any other individual. Tlu Committee must judge as to th: actual merits of machines we would not, if it were possible. No. 3. The Buckeye. James Small. This machine has become well known in Monroe county, having been sold at an early day by Mr. Small. Every unprtjudicel man admits, that this machine do :s good work. The cutting bar is on the right, in plain view of the driver, and the machine is of light dmi-ght. Both this machine and the Champion, cut well and steadily when moving slowly something :hat all machines do not do.
6. TilR SFTflKKLrs'tt
CETioR. Stuart & Co. The Seiberling Excelsior is sold by Stuart & Co. and, so far as our observation and knowledge of tic machine goes, worked well. Tue wirts of difference between this and many others on the ground, were not percoptablo to us, though eri'ons who an; fair ilinr with the mechanism of Mowers., misjht read ly detect points which we failed to 10tiee. It is generally considered a

No. 4. The Climax. M. W. Helton. The Climax was next brought on the ground, aud elicited considerable
comir.entby reason of the peculiarity of its construction. The machinery consisting only of two sene.-; of cog-wheels atd pinions, w :h one shaft 14 inches long, which gives motion to the pitman rod thst drives the cutting blade, is enclose 6 in an iron box two feet long? jnd ten inches square reminding one of an oscillating engine, more thi.n anything else we can imagine. A-. to its points of superiority or inf priority,
we will leave others to decide. There was too much jerk kg about its motion to suit our ur practiced eye, yet it walked into the grass right merrily.
7. The. McCokmick.
W. Udton. name, this machine is famil
iar to every man who has read of machinery, but it has not been brought into market hero, until recently. Many improvements In.ve been made in the McConnick, in the past five years, and it may be superior to some of the machines exhibited, for aught we know to :hc contrary. The machine cut with seeming smoothness and ease, but: the draught seemed heavy. Whether this was so or not, interested parties may judge. The grass in this field was pre tty equally divided between light and heavy, though none of it was tangled ; it was sufficiently rolling for hard work, and in many places there were boggy spots that severely tested tue powers of the different machines. After each machine had cut out
the land apportioned to if, all were taken to a heavier body of grass, and did their work admirably. Later in the day, the seven Mowers above enumerated, were taken to the farm of Captain Wvlie. and
again severely tested. The most delicate portion of the work was now to be done the allotting of premiums. This was decided by giving to the Champion the f rst premium, 10 00; and to the Buckeye the second premium, 3.00. Every machine on the ground was deserving of some recognition, and there should have been premiums offered to all. Articles of association for the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railway Company have been filed with the Secretary of State. The document gives a history of the legal conveyances made of this road down to the present time, and sets forth that the road was purchased under a decree of sale ordered by the Common Pleas Court of White county, by foreclosure of mortgage by the following named parties : George F. Talmon, Frederick Sehuchardt, Jas. II. Barker, Moses Taylor, Edwaid Minturn, Chas. P. Lovcrich, and Joan Steward. The original capital stock shall be 3,000,000, divided into shares of 100 each. The following are the Directors, to continue in of ice until the first Thursday in June, 1870: Geo. F. Tallinn, Moses Tr.ylor, Fred Sehuchardt, Jas. II. Barker, Edward Minturn, Chas. P. Leverieh, John Steward, James F. Jay, Geo. L. Schuyler, John Jacob Asl.or, W. II. Bradford, Jonathan J. Wells and Edwird Jcnts.
portion of the Stare, where the harvest has alrealy begun, the rust has been found to have done s une, but not severe, misohie'. but in the center and north, the two weeks longer term of maturi y gives two weeks more chance lor the rust to become fatal, and we look for the
reports of the harvest from those!
sections with no little co leern. The corn, however, is proti:ing by tluj heat ami moisture that imperils the wheat, and other crops, except potatoes, seem to bci doing well. Potatoes never got abow ground in better condition than this year, but a destructive worm or bug, unlike the common "potato bujfi" is playing havoc with them throughout the Northwest, and ouv State is not exempted. In Minncs. ta. it is said that the crop will not be sufficient for home consumption. Wherever the pest appears, potato tops, however strong and green, speedily look naked, dirtv an.i sickening.

The bare stalks sprangle out, shiny and dark as after a hard freeze, and the roots, deprived of their means of nourishment, stop growing and shrivel away. The ''hug" is rather more of a short, lumpy worm, than a bug, in its first growth. It is soft, pulpy, nasty, reddish in color, with a small black head, but it aerpiires a shell in a few days and becomes a round, givyish colored bug, resembling in shape, and size the smali black beetles- so common in rotten logs, and about our residences. It is very proline. You may kill fifty on 0: 0 potato bill to-day, and leave it, so far as you can see, perfectly clean, and in three days you will find fifty more on it, with clusters of little ones, not larger than pin-heads, buried in the cups and wrinkles of the central leaves. These grow, almost before your eyes, into the l.ig, disgusting, destructive lumps of reddish ruin, we have described. They are easily enough knocked olf the vines, but they crawl back again. Killing them seems to do no good, as every dead cue is replaced by a dozen, and we have heard : no application that w.ll drive them c tl or destroy them. They seem to be an incurable pest. It is said they were first discovered in Colorado in I8t.il, whore they fed on the wild cucumber, and that as soon as the potato was planted near them they "went for it," and have stayoxl with it ever since. They have gradually inside their way east, and :f they do not prove as fatal as the "rot" it will be because some rnede of killing them or preventing their propagation will be discovered, of which we know nothing now. We are not advised of the extent of the evil in this State, but we are apprehensive the visitation will make a serious deficiency in our crops. Fruits are doing well, and we shall have peaches and apples in abundance. Ind. Journal.

And the woman should he paid as much as a man. when she does the work as well. 1A Democratic orator in 'Providence, R. I., made the following hopeful remark apropos of the
prospects of the Democratic party : ,:As a few men saved Sodom, so may a fiw good men save tie.; old Democratic ship, if firm and true in the cause."
The comparison of the Democratic

righteous men could be found in it
I hat is precisely tbi case with the
Democratic party. The comparison is perfect.

Can't Blot out n is IvErxiun. Stephens says that the fact that the United States and no: the Southern States, inaugurated the late war, "will go down to posterity." Who filed the first gun, Alexander? What was it you said in the Georgia Convention iu 1860 about the inevitableness of war should secession be resolved ripen? Did you not sax- that those who should vote for secession would "be held to strict account for this suicidal act by the present generation, and probably cursed and execrated l u poderily for all comim time Did you not further say tint "for yim to attempt to overthrow such a government as this is the height of madness, folly and wiekedn.'ss, to which I can neither lend my sanction nor unvote."
The. New York World, in describing the proceedings at West Point, alluded to Jeff. Davis a"that silent, polite, reserved and now fallen mar., Mr. Davis, once head of v. proud nation," at which the Pod pertinently inquires, ''Which nation?'' The Pod should
be aware that in the -Northern States and in the West, especially, participation in the rebellion is regarded no crime, but is rather a recommendation to favor with the Democracy. Democratic papers are howling at the approval, by the President, of the finding of a Military Commission, condemning to death Jas. Weaver a citizen of Texas, for murdering another citizen. This approval is in accordance with the recent decision of the Attorney Central, that the military authorities have jurisdiction in such cases in the unreconstructed States, and it is believed that this example will do much toward suppressing murder and violence, prevalent so long in Texas.
