VoLUME XXXI. BALLYDUFF. 'l'he farmers irJ this section are about through harvesting. The yield will only be one ·half of what it was in former years. Rev. Geo. McKay, of Ca.rtwright, hl\s preached at Drum several times lately and the people have been much pleased and edified with his sermons. Mr. McKay has preached somA good sermons since he came amongst us, in fact we do not think him capa.ble of giving a poor one ; but it wae conceded by all who heard him last Sabbath at Ballydutf that it was the best sermon they ever heard yet . He spoke over an hour from the words "I am the door." The majority of the congregation could have eat listening to such preaching another hour and not have felt like leaving, but there were some young men theri.i who could not sit any place live minutes. Here at Ballyduff we have a comfortable church, a fine organ, and one of the be11t orga11iats in the country. Mr. R · J. Willillm&on and l\'li1s Hurst., the lady who leads the singing, have splendid voices. ·The &ingini ]a,t Sabbath all through was good, but the last hymn was really grand. (H is a great pity you cannot 1.t rike some plan to t o keep those young men either in or out of church. How would it do to eend us their names, for publication 1-EIJITOR STA'rF.SMAN.) NmrnEn 36.

Olen,~ M.P., visited Eaton, N.Y., last week, for the purposes of making final armngementa with MessN. Wood, Taber & Morse, for the control of their n ew Traction Engine in Uanada, and we 1:1re pleased to say that in the interest of Oshawa they succeeded . Messrs. 'Vood, Taber & Morse were the first manufactur~rs in the United Stlltes, to build Portab~' Engines on wheels, some thirty-five years 1\go, and have turned out more of this class of engines than any other firm there since their first introduction, There engine has been the moLlel for nearly every large builder in the United States and Canada. The 1irst Oshawa Engine was purchMed from them. An immense sum of money 1rns l)een expended upon experiments with Traction En~ines during the past teu years, and · thousands of them, such as they were, ha.vs been sold, but l\1r. Glen has refused to recommend any herctorore introduced to the customei·s uf the Hall 'Vorks. Messrs. 'Vood Taber& l\forse have spent ten years in perfecting the New Traction, and have now for the first time offered it to the public as a desirable and complete miichine. It was put in operation for Messrs. Ryan aml Glen, and a series of SEVKRE tests applied. It drew up t\ hill, the grade of which wt1s 1,100 feet to the mile, five engines which weighed together 11 tons, stopped in the middle of. the hill and 1hen went on. Four holes {vcre clug 16 inches deep under each road wheel and the engine started, a.nd without any difficulty came out of the holes. The hind wheels were backed off the road side so that they were at least 21 feet lower than the front wheels. A scantling G inphes square was then placed before the front· wheels, and when stenm was let on the engine at once passed up over the scantling. One of these engines triivelecl 34 miles over as hilly a road as the base line from Oshawa to Bu\Tm:mville in one day, drew a water and coal wagon, and only consumed half a ton of steam coaL A 12horse power traction of this kind can draw from Oshawa Station t o th<- town 25 tons as fast as a team milks with two tons. Can easily <lmw ten tons from the port to the town . Heretofore tl1e traction machinery has been applied to the rear wheels of the eugine only. Me8l!rs. Wood, Taber ..~ Mosre are theJ;"IRS'r IN THE WORLB TO HUCCE!ISI'UJ;r , y .APrT.Y rr '£ 0 A.LI, J;'OlJR. WBEEJ,R, The engine can be turned around by the driver in less space than is required to turn a farm wagon with a team of h nrses, goes backward as well as fo1'ward - can bring down a sha.rp grade s:.fely ag 11eavy a load as it can take up. Its value t o the thresherman can hardly be over-estimated. At llresent he buys an engi1w and thresher, two teams of horses and employs two men and gladly works fo r $12 per clay. If he could be employed all the year he would be pleased to work for less. Now he can dispen8e with the horses and harness during the threshin~ season and at its close he is ready to do any class of heavy teamingfor instflnce, he can draw four loads of coal of ten tons each from the harbor to the t own which at 30c. per ton is $12. It costs GOc. to team it at present. He requires no barn, a shed without a floor ten feet high g,ncl eight wide is all he needs. In place of oats or hay he has a. pile of coal or wood. Carefully used the engine will last for ten years, about as long as the average team of horses .can endure to do co:N:S'.l.'AN'.l.' ancl heavy work. No one can forsee t he very great change that this wonderful advance in Traction Engines will create in transporting very. heavy freight short distances. It will drive the horse from the plow at an early day, in fact there is no end to the ways in which it can be made to do the heavy labor which is now performed by horses. Mr. Glen informs us tlrnt 1\'Iessrs. Wood, Taber & Morse had 112 Portable Engines painted and ready for shipment in their shops and yards besides those in process of conztruction. They were being shipped to all parts of the United States, South America and Mexico.

Walker preached twice in t he Metl1odist church on Sunday. The sermon in the evenmg dealt especially with the temperance question anii was one of the most powerful discourses e-rnr delivered to a congregation here. He placed tobacco '. under the eame head as drink which any gentleman will admit was where it should be. We would call t he attention of the cemetery trustees to the fact that certain visitors have of late for m.otives whether pure or devilish been using their penknives on some of the bronze monun1ents lately placed there. We will give names next. A recent issue of the War Cry has the following in the correspondence from here. "What with frauds of one kind and another (among those who once professed to be on the Lords side and are now eervi!1g the Devil with a will) we are having a tough time of it. " Comment is necessary. Facts speak louder than words. Mr. Jack McCormack, of the "Sickle and Sheaf," Millbrook, has been roaming about town for a few weeks. There was a large attendance a t the Methodist S. S. on Sunday last, showing an increasing interest in the work. Mr. D, 'r. Allin, in the absence of the superinten dent, filled that position very eftlciently. Judging from the conduct of some of our youn g men in S. School last Sunday, one term in Peuctang, makes very little improvement in the average Orono boy. Mr. D. Kirkland has improved his house very much both as to appearance and comfort. Mr. Broad has his h ouse nearly enclosed with brick veneer which will add to the appearance of the South end of our village. ~~~.----..-- A . 0 . U . W . EXCURSION TO HASTINGS. On Wednesday of last week the Editor of the STATESMAN by invitation of Cobourg Lodge No. 121, A. 0 . U. W., joined the brtthren of that town and a l(oodly number of citizens on an excursion to the village of Hastings. About 250 persona participated in the pleasures of the day. L eaving Cobourg by train at 8 a. m. we reached Harwood in an hour and were quickly on board tlrn Steamer " Colden ll:ye" and steaming down the lake. The sail was a pleasant one and the beautiful scenery on either side of the Lake and river afforded an ever varying panorama upon which to feast the eyes. The boat lande(l the party just south of the village at a nice pic-nic ground in Johnston's grove about 12:30 o'clock, ~hen dinner was partaken of in genuine pic-nic style, after which the excursionists struck out for fishing, boating, sight-seeing, etc. We called on,Rev. W. and Mrs. Limbert and found them ju.it getting settled in a new brick parsonage that is a credit to the good Methodists of that little vilbge. Mr. Limbert has a good congregation and seems highly pleased with his new field of labor. We cannot see why Hastings is not a popular summer resort. It has the best hotel accommodation of any village of its size that we have seen and the facilities for boating and fishing are unsurpassed . We congratulate Cobourg Lodge on the success of the e-..;:cursion, and highly recommend the trip to excursion · parties accessible to Cobourg or Harwood. $100, Traction Engine Prize. Prom the Oi1ta1·io Reformer, A1t!f. 28th. We are informed that t he manufacturers of Traction Engines, except the proprietors of the Ha!J Works, have declined to compete for the $100 pr i!!!e offered by Capt. McMaster, Vice-President of the Toronto Industrial Association, and that therefore the Association are about to withd-raw the prize. The proprietors of the J oaeph Hall Machine Works promptly informed tho Secretary of t he Aaaoci11tion that they would cempete for t he prize, and nave gone to very considerable expense to do so. We cannot see the justice of withdrawing the prize. In some lines of cattle only one exhibitm· has been present, and yet the prize was not withdrawn. The fact that the manufacturers of so CALLED TRACTION ENGINES do not feel inclined to meet the. New Traction in a fair contest, under the direction of competent and disinterested judges, is no reason for withdrawing the prize. The H all Works Engine will, however, be on hand at the Exhibition, ready to submit to any tests that may be demanded. Mr. Glen, M. P ., General Manager of the Hall , Works, informs us that they will couple a Ten Horse Rubicon Traction Engine to any 1G Hnrse Power Traction Engine made in Canada, and if the Ten Horse Rubic1:m cannot draw the Sixteen Horse of any Ci\nadian make backwards, they will abandon thefr claim to the .$100 prize.
