Sturgeon and “ Huascar Miils.”

lato whatever settlement the traveller may go in this Island he will see sigus of progress and improvemen:. The inhabit- aai® are evidently a progressive people, and ate determined to make the inmost of their slender means.

A few days ago, the writer had occasion to visit Sturgeon, and was forcibly struck with the marked improvement visible en every hand. Well tilied farms, neat and comfortasle dwelling houses and orchards bearing abundance of fruit, are to be seen on almost every homestead. The peuple in general are sober, industrious and intelli- gent. Although a mixed eommunity, yet no sectarian bigotry is ever allowed to dis- turs the existieg harmony. The benefits of edueation are fally appreciated, as is evinced by their well-conduc:ed schol.

Bat I am digressiog. My chief object is not to write a history of this thriving com- munity, bai to notice a new onterprise that has just been put in operation here, viz : the ‘‘ Haascar Mills.” These mills are built on the Stargeon Stream, about a mils from the shore, and are the property of John T. Pools, Esq., and son. They con- sist of a Carding Mill, Sew Miil, and Shingle Maehine.

In the Carding Will there is one of Fullerton’s Culebrated Maciliines, got up in the latest and most improved American style, also 2 first-class Picker. The work done here is of a superior quality. The rolls are free from all ‘‘ hamps’’ and other defects which often prove a serious draw- back to the industrious housewife. This department turns eut from 20 to 25 Iba. of carded wool an hour, and gives complete? satisfaction.

fa the Saw Millie one of Smallwood’s Rotary Beard Mills, and one of his patent Lever Shingle Machines, with all their latest improvements, and auxiliary gear. This department does exce'lent work, and turns a large quanty of cut lumber. The Shiogle Machine cuts from 18 to 20 squares a day, and ia constantly at work.

In the establishment of these mills no expense has been spared in procuring the iatest and most improved raachinery, and the workmanship has been performed by the most experienced and skilful mechanics. As the outlay has been considerable it is to be hoped that the enterprising proprietors will coutinus to receive that share of pat- renage to which they are in justice entitled for supplying a want so loag felt in the community.

The whole is under the superintendence of one of the proprieters--Mr. W. Leath Poole—a moat estimable young man, cour- teous and obliging in manner, and who is determined to turn out work equal, if not superior, to any other similar establishment in the country.

By this it wilk be seen that the ‘‘ hum” of business is heard and appreciated in Sturgeon. Long may it continue.—Com.

This Dominion of Ours.

LECTURE BY KEV. GEO. Mi. CAMPBELL.

—---

Rev. Geo. M. Campbe!! delivered the recond lecture of the ceurse in the Vernon River Methodist Church, on Wednesday evening last, taking for his subject ‘‘ This Dominion ef Ours,” Prof. J. T. Mellish, of Halfax, occupied the chair.

This lecture, rendered in Mr. Campbell's well-known, pleasing anc eloquent style, was replete with most valu ble information concerning Canada and its resources. He reviewed the most important portions of its history and referred in glow ing and patriotic eloquence to its vast and wealthy mines, extensive and fertile lands, and large and prosperous manufactories, all uniting and tending to make it a ‘‘ great and grand Dominion.”

The Chairman, in tendering the Rev. lecturer with a vote of thanks for his inter- esting lecture, paid that yentleman a weil merited tribute on his abilities as a pulpit orator and lecturer; he e'so reviewed the lecture at length, giving eome interesting facie concerning the early settlement of this Island.

Prof. Mellish lectures on Wednesday evening, 14th inst ; subje t, ‘‘ My visit to Scotland.”

The temperance peeple of Oberlin, Ohio,. havo been holding meetin.;s in the hope ot persuading hotel keepers nd apothecaries of that towa to signa pledge neither te sell nor te give away spiri( uous liquors, the apothecaries being urged not to furnish such liquor ** straight” even upon a physician's prescciption, The desired pledge is not to be binding unless all deslers in alcoholic beverages agree toit. All but two have yielded, and the question now is whether these obstinate holders out can be per- asuaded to join the rest.

The Self-Binding Harvesters.

EXPERIVENTING—HOW PERFEC- TION Is REACHED.

Ar the invitation of Mr. Alex. Horne, who is the Agent in this Island of the Walter A. Wood Mowing and Rveapiveg Machine Company, a member of THe the pleasure, on Saturday, of seeing “Tho Twine Self-Binding Hat

re ’ at work. ‘The SCENE OF OPERATIONS ves n wheat field, of eight acres be- ibelongii zy to Mr. Arshibald Holme. |Here were Mr. Rursel Parsons, Vice- the Company, and his

youngest son, Mr. Hector Me'mes and his son, joint inveutors of the machine, a machinist ia the employ ef the Company, and some very much interested spectators Che field, at one o'clock, was one of stand ing grain ; before the evening closed the grain was cut down, bound up in sheaves of uniferm size, in stook; and in the meantime a considerable amount e. EXPERIMENTING had been going on. To experiment is, in fact, the object Mr. Parsens, Vice-Presi- dent of the Company, and the Messrs. ficlmes had in eoming here ; for although no less than ten thousand of the: » machincs have been sold in America anl EL irope during the current yeay, and although the machine seems to be as perfect as possible, these enterprising men are not yer quite satisfied that perfection has, in this case, been reached. The harvest is over in the States; and so they sre here, where they will have ample time to complete their work and do it well.

PESCRIPTION OF THB MACHINE,

Che cutting part of this self-vinding her- ‘ester ia just hke that of the now common

** reaper,” only the knife is longer. It cuts off ‘atone fell swoop” about six feet from the side of a fisid of grain. As cut,

the grain is ‘‘ elevated” into the binder. Tae elevating is done by double revolving canvasses, and, as the binding receptacle is entirely covered over, the wind has abso- lutely no effect on the flow of the grain.

quires no attention from the drivers, except- ing to adjust it back and forth, so as to place the band around the centre of the bundle, which is easily done by a lever convenient forthe purpose. It is driven by an endiess chain, and cunsequently is not affected by any strain to which the har- vester may be subjected. It is compec', strong and substantial, and las all of its gearing above the grain; so that no trouble can arise from chaff, er litteriugs, settling’ ©im any of its parts. It is provided with two sete of geacing ; tie packer gear and the binding gear one of which is a/ways at rest To illustrate : The motion of the packer gear beginning with the motion of the harvester, continnes uulil the bundle is formed, and then it ceases, and ths binding gear begins, and continues until the bundle is bound aad delivered.

As the grain is delivered into the binding receptacle by the elevators, it is seiced frou the upper side by revolving packers, (two wheels 12 iaches in diametsr and 9 inches apar., with 3 fingers attached to each), and is forced forward and packed, or compressed against a compouad or compressing lever ; and as soon as enough has been gathered to firm a bundle, the force, or pressure, of the packer trips this lever, causing the packers to stop and the binding apparatus to begin, when the bundle is bound and delivered, and if (the binding gear) in turn is thrown out of gear by a ciutch lever, and the packer gear begins again to form the next bundle.

As before stated, the packer gear and binding gear are placed above the binding reveptacle, and the bundle is formed and bound from abeve ; but the needle arm and discharger are placed below the rec »ptacle, avd remain a; rest un‘il the bundle is boun?. The twine is ceri:ed in acan at the rearcorner of the binder; and to thread the machine, it is carried down underneath the Binder frame, through eyelet-holes and the tension jaws, up through the back and eye of the needle, over the knot-tying hooks to the grasper, where the end is firmly held.

As soon as the bundle is fermed and the binding gear begins to move, the n>edle arm advances, carrying the new ti ine over the bundle and knot-tying hooks to the grasper; and the bundle is tightly com pressed and held between the needie arm and compound lever, relieving the twine oi all strain while tha knot is being tied, the yresper opens and closes, grasping and cut- ting the twine, and retaining the nev end; the needle aria recedes, the compound lever is lifted up out of the way, the discharger arm advances and deposits the bundle gently on the ground, and then receces; the binding apparatus is thrown out of gear, and the packers begin forming the next bundle,

The sheaves are made of one uniform size. The band or twiveis prt on every sheaf at exactly the ‘ame part of it; and it can be p!aced near the head, n or te butt or in the middle, as required, and by slight changes the binder ean be set to bind three sizes of bundles—small, medium and large, as the condi:ion of the grain may necessi- tate, or the owner prefer. There is no trouble with foot leve: , as the binder controls itself throughout.

It is cleimed that, owing to the shape of the binding receptable, and the action of the packers, the binder will haudie tangled grain—-anyihivg that the harvester will! efevate—as gvell as straight grain; and any one not familiar with the machine would be surprised iv soe how nice a bundle it will -make of the tangled, twisted mass Of straw, with which it frequent ly has to contend. The bund'e, ordinarily, are siightly flattened, and stand much better in the stook, and sti>k much nicer on this account. As the motion of the binder is comparatively alow. its principal parts alternately at rest, and the power and strain are so perfectly dis- ‘tributed, it is not sv liable to heat, wear, break, or get oat of order.

Mr. Parsons, the Vice-President of the Company, who is now on the Island, is one of those shrewd energetic men whe have naturally helped to make America great. Heis a practical meeharic. He says the Island is the most beautiful spot he has] et visited; and he seems det srmined to stay here until be has the machine made absolutely perfect. The Messrs. Holmes, to whom the worlu isfindvbtedjfor this great in- vention, are plain, matter et fact mechanics.

3y their invention they have done more to alleviate the labor, hardships and aches of maiknd than all the polished geutiemen alive. Yet’they put on no frills, make no fuss, and seem only intent on making their machine peifect. Farmers in other parts of the world are, in large numbers, availing dhe uselves of their invention. It is their skill on.y, which has this year rendered possible the safe and comparatiyg- ly e.sy harvestng of the immon8e Crops of the United Staies and Canad®; nd the advantages of their workQwillere ng be as widespread as those which have resulted from the labor of Arkwright, Ste Phenson, Edison and the great aud honored host of inventors to which they belong. Even in P. KE. Island the self-binder will, bufore very many years, be in common use,

The Canadian Wimbledon.

An Ottawa despatch says:—'‘* It has been generally considered that th shvoting ac- complished so far at the present mesting, has surpassed that of any previous annual competition, although tae raisge is almest universally condemned. A prominent Nova Scotia mititia officer made the remark on the ground yesterday, vhat if the Rideau range was selectad for .ext year’s meeting, there would not be 209 marksthen present. From the manner in which this eentiment was echoed by others, it is evident that dissatisfaction is quite general. It is theught that some point near Montreal could be selected which would be more con- venient of access from the east and west, and a range secured which would be used exciusively fer annual meetings. The sheoting this year in the first match is three pein s better per each wiancr than in last year’s competition, whi's: in the Me- Dougall challenge cup maich it is nearly two points better. Inthe Rideau ma’ ch, which was this year fred for the first time, afine average of fer.y-thiee points was dttained out of a possible 50, the range being 500 yards. In the Dominion of Canada match the highest individval scures, 80 far as ascertained, are Private Mitchell, 15th, 89; Private Marks, 68th Fusiliers, 89; Private Morrisen, G. G. F. G., 87; Corpl. Mitchvil, 13th batt., 86; Private A Wilson, 33rd batt., 85.”

Members of J he Island team have net, distinguished themse'ves as usual, tis year; but, considering their want of practice, their unacquaintance with the peculia:ities of the Rideau Range, and other adverse ¢'reumstances, t’ eir fa'lure to make a brilliant score is ne: at all wonder. ful, They however, reached a very res- peciable positien in the Baitalioa Match; and in the Consolation Match, the follew- ing were prize winners :—

CEM

the Wesleyan H/cumenicai Counci!

The Wesleyan Ecumenical Council, which op aed in London on Monday last, decided to devote each night to services la ing be- fore the people the state of Methodism in various countries. The presidents for the first days of the council were elected, viz.: Dr. Osborne, president ef the Wes- leyan Qonference; Bishop Peek,of America; Dr. Stacey, of the New Connexion; and Dr. Douglass, of Camada. The Couneil was opensd by asermon by Bishep Simpson. Dr, Osborne delivered an _ address of welcome, which was responded to by Bishop Holland, of Awerica, and Dr. Douglass. ‘There was a jarge attendance of American aad colored delegates at the opening services. Bishop Simpson’s sermon aupported the doctrine of the divine creation of the heavens and earth, which the preacher argued could be disproved by any of the so-called teachings uf science. The congregation received the sacrament, and the proceedings were ad- journedtuntil the 23rd instant. Dr. Osborne, in his address of weleome, said the suc- cess of the council was already assured. The Methodist Church, which is Catholic in the widest sense of the word had already gained avictory, but he trusted much more would be dons. In his address, Bishop Simpson said the success of Method- ism could only be due to the fact that it is instinct with the Divins spirit of life. As the assemblages of Protestant bodies during late years foreshadowed there would, at neo diatant day, be an Hcvmenieal conference of evangelical Christians of every denom- ation.
