Editors’ and Publishers’ Association was held

long remembered. 
A Great Newspaper Building. 
Tub Philadelphia Public Ledger, the leading 
newspaper of the Quaker City, has just moved 
into its splendid new building at the corner of 
Sixth and Chestnut streets. The opening of the 
building was Inaugurated by a splendid dinner at 
the Continental Hotel on the 20th inst,, in which 
some five hundred editors and others partici¬ 
pated — (and as we were unavoidably precluded 
from attending, we take this occasion to con¬ 
gratulate Mr. Childs upon the eminent success 
of bis enterprise and the merited prosperity of 
the Ledger.) Speaking of this new building the 
Philadelphia Bulletin says: — “The magnitude 
and the elegance of this structure are such That 
its completion deserves to be publicly recorded, 
just as the completion of a public monument is 
recorded. For the Ledger buildiug is monu¬ 
mental in its character; the Ledger is an 
“ institution ” of Philadelphia, and the whole 
community takes an interest in the noble build¬ 
ing where it is iu fnture to be housed. It is 
something, too, for Philadelphians to be able to 
boast that they possess iu their city the largest, 
most splendid and best appointed newspaper 
establishment in the world. The energy, enter¬ 
prise, liberality and good taste of the proprietor, 
George W. Chllps, Esq., have been so abund¬ 
antly displayed in this grand edifice, that the 
pubiic will recognize him always as a benefactor 
to the city. He will issue his paper from the 
new building on Monday next, and all good citi¬ 
zens will join us iu wishing for it a career of 
ever-growing prosperity." 1

J. 8. C. Abbott’s astounding praises of Napo¬ 
leon in his published volnme, have been trans¬ 
lated into French, and the Paris Siccle ridicules 
the book as justly, but more severely, than it 
was treated here. 
The London (Canada) Free Press urges that 
the Fenians all be set free on Confederation day. 
More rolling stock, and a large quantity of 
superior rails for the Grand Trunk Railw ay, are 
coming over from England. 
A curious effect of the result of the recent 
London Congress in preserving the peace in 
Europe is Bald to have been a rapid rise in the 
price of white oak staves in West Virginia. The 
French and Spanish wine merchants are supplied 
largely with wood for wine casks from that region. 
The Merchants' Union Express Company held 
a Directors’ meeting at Auburn in May, and voted 
unanimously to make no compromise with the old 
Express Companies, asserting that they are in 
prosperous and healthy condition. This was

man won the last two heats in 1:23 and 1:25 with

There seems to be good grounds for believ¬ 
ing that our Government is negotiating with 
Great Britain for the purchase of the territory of 
the latter on the Northwest coast. It. is pro¬ 
posed to acquire all the region west of the 
Canadas and Hudson Bay— a tract much larger 
than the present United States, hut of no great 
value. 
It is said that at the Yearly Meeting of the 
Hicksite branch of the Society of Friends, held 
in New York the other day, the belles wore 
loves of bonnets, chignons, light robes of the 
most attractive texture, and fashionable jewelry, 
while the young men “Friends” appeared in 
the latest fashion. The garb of George Fox, 
however, was not wholly absent from the assem¬ 
blage, but worn by the elder members.

Rochester, June 25,1867. j 
There is no materia) change in financial affairs in this 
locality or at the East. The New York market rather 
tends to greater ease, and plenty of money and low rates 
of interest are anticipated through the summer. The 
banks tills week are preparing for the coming Quarterly 
statement of July 1st, hence miscellaneous accommoda¬ 
tions will be considerably restricted—and the market in 
some localities, particularly at the West, will he report¬ 
ed dose. Alter *‘ the 4th" financial affairs may be ex¬ 
pected to assume their ordinary course. Just dow the 
Secretary of the Treasury 16 calling In funds from many 
of the deposit banks. These deposits are withdrawn at 
such uncertain intervals that few hankers now seek the 
honor of being Government depositories. 
Government securities arc firm and in demand. P.all- 
road and miscellaneous stocks, as a general thing, are 
not active. 
Commercial men everywhere discuss with much ear¬ 
nestness the fine weather, and the encouraging pros¬ 
pects for ao abundant harvest, They are content to do 
little now, In view of the cheering prospects of a good 
fail business. 
Wool.— There is nothing of any amount doing In wool 
In this section. Buyers offer 40®l5c., but farmers are 
either too busy to take their wool to market, or are not 
disposed to sell at prices ottered. 
Very little wool has been purchased In Michigan. Buy¬ 
ers at the principal markets in chat State are offering 85® 
•10c. The Detroit Post of Friday says:—" The manufac¬ 
turers arc puzzled and hardly know what to undertake. 
Mr. Platt, who Is the bnyer for the Manchester Mills, and 
the heaviest that ever visited onr market,—taking gen¬ 
erally 2,000,000 lbs.,—is not coming here, it is stated, for 
00 days yet. Mr. Hunter of the Watervliet Mills, who 
averages 1 , 000,000 lbs., was in town a day or two since, 
but lias gone home without effecting anything.” 
Buyers are reported to be more particular in regard to 
the condition of wool than heretofore. 
A letter from Cold water, Mich,, Bays:— "Very little 
wool has been brought in. The price opens at about 
40c. Usually at this time of the year we have plenty of 
eastern buyers, and plenty of eastern capital ready to 
invest in wool. This year none. Farmers expect a large 
price, and will hold their wool as long as t hey can.” 
Sales in Boston last week foot up 450,000 lbs., at a range 
of 85@70c.for fleece. Tbe Boston Commercial Bulletin 
of Saturday says" The wool market Is more quiet, 
and transactions tighter than ror many years past to¬ 
wards the close of the season. Tbe stocks of desirable 
fleece wool, adapted to the production of seasonable 
goods, are reduced to small compass, nud lienee holders 
are not anxious, and prices are tolerably well sustained." 
Wheat and Flour. —The prices of wheat and flour 
still tend downward. Western farmers who held on to 
their grain, hoping for n famine, are now crowding it to 
market with all possible rapidity. The condition of the 
new crop alarms them- In Delaware Co., Iowa, the 
price of wheat has fallen within a few weeks from $2,25 
to $1,50. Some have predicted a reaction in prices be¬ 
fore harvest, hut there ore not signs of it yet. New 
flour basmade its appearance in Georgia, and at some 
other points. Some days since there was a telegraph 
statement that the rust had done great Injury to the 
wheat In Kentucky, This may be the case in some lo¬ 
calities, but we judge the injury is not very extensive. 
Hops. — The market at the East is Inactive. Emmet 
Wells of New York quotes new at 30®35c.; old at 20® 
40c. The growing crop generally promises well. The 
vine has been growing almost too rapidly. Some farm¬ 
ers in Wisconsin report a growth of 24 inches In as many 
hours.

THE GREAT NATIONAL TRIAL OF 
Mowers and Reapers at Auburn in 1866. 
Genuine Buckeyes and Bogus Buckeyes Compared. 
THE GENUINE BUCKEYE. 
The summing up of the Judges on the Buckeye Ma¬ 
chine of Adriance, Platt & Co. 
Prom page 58 of Official Report of Auburn Trial. 
“The record of the Buckeye is interesting in 
view of the faet that it was the pioneer in the path 
of the great improvements which have popularized 
Mowing Machines and made them an absolute neces¬ 
sity to every fanner. It took the prize at the Great 
National Trial of Mowers and Reapers, at Syracuse, 
(in 1857,) and at once spraug into great popularity, 
in the hands of Mr, J. P. Adriance it met with an 
enormous sale. 
The result of this trial clearly shows that it still 
keeps the forward rank which it won at Syracuse, and 
at many other subsequent trials, and that it is stOi as 
worthy the patronage and confidence of the public as 
it has been in any preceding portion of its history.” 
the bogus buokeyte. 
The summing up of the Judges on the machines of 
Dodge, Stevenson & Co. 
Frcmpage 108 of Official Report of Auburn Trial. 
“In our judgment the failure of these machines 
to no good work arose—1st. From improper me¬ 
chanical execution. The gearing seemed to us to 
be ill made: the working parts were not exactly in 
line; the materials were not well distributed with 
i reference to the strain they bore, and there was a 
general roughness in the work which might well 
canse inequalities in their action." 
The Genuine Buckeye which was awarded the 
Grand Gold Medal in Class One at the Gre&- 
Auburn Trial, and which was the only machine that 
received the highest mark (40) for perfect work i n 
every test, is built in New York State by

All About Mowin g and R eaping Machines, 
FRAUD AND HUMBUG EXPOSED, 
There bae been, and is now, such an amount of 
misrepresentation in reference to the trial of Mowing 
and Reaping Machines at Auburn, N. T., last July ^ 
a committee of the N. Y. S. Ag. Society, accompanied 
with such gross libels upon us and our machines, tint 
“Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue" indeed. 
Some unscrupulous manufacturers and their agents 
for their own selfish and greedy purposes have pub¬ 
lished In newspapers, pamphlets and circulars, whit 
purports to be the Report, or extracts from the Re- 
port of the Committee. These publications are fa]# 
and garble/1 and “ made vp" to suit eastern machines 
and cast odium upon others. They all claim having 
received the first premium or medal, leaving k s 0 1 
inferred that there was bat one first premium; where¬ 
as, In truth there were Eleven Premiums and Malay 
awarded to as many different styles and makers of 
mowing machines, and would have been more if faj, 
play aud honor had been observed. These garble! 
and false publications make certain machines stand 
higher than other* by taking the highest credit murk* 
of their machines aDd the lowest oPW of Wrs. Now 
by thi* rule we find in the Committee's Published 
Report, that Dodge’s Patent Mower and Reackr, 
Ohio and Buckeye Patents combined, made by Dodge 
Stevenson & Co., was the Lightest Draft Mower 
at the trial: that it had the least side draft ; that 
it was marked for quality of work two higher thm 
Buckeye, and nearly double that of ike Walter A. 
Wood Mowers on the most difficult piece of work 
during the trial, viz., Lodged Clover and Weeds ia 
the Leach lot. 
Name of Machine, 
Here are the figures #f the principal machines as 
published by the Committee. The No. 40 represents 
perfection .*

Onr machine was awarded the preference in Class 5 
as a Mower, Hand or Self-Raker, as preferred, in the 
same machine, and the above clearly shows that it 
was entitled to it. Hiram Curtis of Albion, N. Y., 
who manufactures a machine he calls the Buckeye, 
did not have any machines at the trial, and for his 
groee libels upon us and our machines we flaye »?• 
pealed to tbe courts for redress. 
We have no objection to fair competition , be it ever 
so spirited, but when downright lying and malicious 
falsehoods are resorted to we shall defend ourselves 
in a proper manner against any and all such. 
The immense popularity and sale of our machines 
has caused alarm amongst the old concerns, relying on 
reputations earned years ago; hence the fluttering, 
which is good evidence that somebody is hurt.

FOOT ROT IN SHEEP. 
With one bottle of Remington’s Foot Rot Iiix- 
edt I cured 10-1 sheep badly off with foot rot. Some 
of them were so bad that the hoof was almost gone. 
All but. four were enred with One application, and the 
cure effected during the cold wet weather of last 
spring. Andrew Coolet.

One of tlie Greatest causes of ill-health is 
Indigest ion or Dyspepsia, with their attendant mil- 
cries, such as Headache, Sour Stomach, Lobb of Appe¬ 
tite, Depression of Spirits, &c. Coe’s Dtsfeha 
Cure will certainly cure these troubles, as thousands 
can testify. 
GOLD MEDAL THRASHING MACHINE. 
Persons intending to purchase a Thrashing Machine 
will do well to send for Circulars and Judge's Repwt 
of the Machine awarded Two Gold Medals at the 
Great National Trial, Auburn, July, 1866, manufac¬ 
tured by R. & M. Harder, Coblesklll, N. Y. See 
their advertisement in Rural of last week. 
DODGE’S PATENT REAPER AND M0WEE 
CAUTION! 
The public are cautioned against confounding this 
Valuable Machine with the "Buckeye" made hj 
Adriance, Platt & Co., and others, under Anltman 
and Miller’s Patents. The Genuine and only Dows 
Machine is manufactured under J. A. Dodge, B ®' 16 
and Aultman and Miller’s Patents, aud is a G-mat 
Improvement on both the Ball’s Ohio, and Buckeye 
Machines. 
It is manufactured solely by the Dodge & Stevenson 
M’f'g Co., at Auburn, N. Y.. and both the Padste- 
and manufacturers’ names are plainly stencilled on 
every machine. Farmers I do not be humbugged^ 
the specious and artM representations of parties the. 
theirs is the Only I'diable and genuine machine, & c - 
Ac., &e., ami that certain other machines areiwip 
or worthless imitations. Common sense teaches tha- 
tbis is an age of improvement; that the world n>o"- 
on, and that the attempt of certain parties to keep 
their machines at the head of the list, by relying uL ' 
reputations earned years ago must prove futile even 
where they are bolstered up by well known and fen 
tofore honored nameB, and by certificates procured m 
too many instances by fraud and bribery. 
Farmers, examine carefully for yourselves, and you 
will find that improvements can be made upon Mow¬ 
ing and Reaping Machines: that the Dodge Machi>~ 
is all that is claimed for it; being a Hano^mw: 
Better Made, and more reliable Mower, band or 
Self-Raking Reaper, than can be found in the marker.
