Rural Husbandry in Court.

A rather novel spectacle was presented in the chamber of the Supreme Court of the United States recently. A suit was on trial, brought by tl e patentees of one reaping machine against the patentees of anothc r real - er, for infringement of patent. The counsel for one side brought into the court-room a miniature wheat field about seven feet square, also miniature models of the reaping machine, with the horses and drivers included, which were used for the purpose of illustrating his argument.
