Ox a Short Visit.- Capt. J. D. M.
TnoKrsox, of Pennick's Regiment, spent
i few hours with his friends in Brown
vllle. On Saturday Evening and Sun
day Morning on delatched service. On
Sunday the Captain started back to his
post in Missouri. We never before saw
aim look so well never before so portly
and hearty. If we had not good evidence
that it was our old friend Col. Thompson,
we should have been almost willing to
swear it was Gen. Scoot.
Fast Day was duly observed in
Brownvillc, so far as appearances vrere
concerned, at' least. Every store,
Ehop, and business house in town,
Was closed. Religious worship was
held in the Presbyterian church.
Many, no doubt, engaged in fasting
and prayer; but it was noticed that
breakfast, dinner and supper bells
rang as usual, at the different hotels,
and boarding houses.
Battle between the Pawnees and
Sioux. We learn from Mr. Blakely,
just" returned from Gage Co., that a bat
tle occurred last week between a party
of the Pawnees and a large band of the
Sioux. The Pawnees were hunting on
the Republican Fork and were taken by
surprise by the Sioux. Eight of the
Pawnees were killed and six severely
wounded, the ballance, finding they were
greatly outnumbered fled. They came
me jjitue isiue ana goi an, xvoper
nd several other white men to take
teams out to the Republican and bring
tack the wounded. When they arrived
there, however they could not find their
wounded. The probability is the Sioux
found where ihey were recreated and
fnher killed them or took them prisoners,
hese tribes hate been quarrelling for
yttrs past, and fight whenever they meet.

LIcCORMICK'
Reaper and Hower
MANUFACTURED AT
Ob.ioag o. 111.
This celebrated machine is by all odds the BEST
GRAIN AND GRASS CUTTER IN THE WORLD.
N twithstanding tbe misrepresentations of those inter
ested in otber machines, C. H. McCormick & Bro. man
ufacture at the rate of 8,000 per year. Many chance
have been affected during tbe past season, and for 1862
the "McCormick" is presented with greater attractions
than ever before. As a reaper,
THE ECOXOSIY OF POWER
IX THIS MACHINE, ITS
Strength, Durability, and
Simplicity,
give it preference over all others New improvements
added, have materially lessened tbe direct draught,
and so obviated the side draught that many assure u,
that it does not now exist. The drught of the Reaper
is so licht that in numerous instances the large lour
horse machine is worked with hut two horses.
FOR MOWING.
The Machine of 1862 will stand any test that may be
applied. Our Guard and Patent Cleaner effectually
prevents choking, no matter wbat the condition of tbe
grass, while our new divider point separates baldly
lodged and tangled clover or grass, where other ma
chines fail.
There is also a great advantage in our serrated sickle
edge over the smooth, as it does not require sharpening
so often, thus saving time. Our sickle will frequently
run through an entire harvest without once grinding,
while the smooth edge must be ground once each day,
if not oftner. With a smoth edge tbe Iraught increases
as the knife becomes dull. Our draught is uniform,
aud in the repeated trials during the season of I860 61,
proved far lighter than single Mowers, cutting at the
same time from twelve to eighteen inches wider.
Our Mower can be used with or without tbe reel , this
is important, as without the reel it weighs but about
670 pounds.
In addition to the very liberal warrantee given to
all purchasers, we would say as heretofore, that farmers
who may desire it, are at liberty to work our machine
through the harvest, with any other, and kaep and pay
for the one preferred.
Pamphlets with full description of Improvements
