Tothe Editor of The Chicago T'ribune : 8in : If * Middleman " will refor to the ¢ Re- ports upon Trials of Plows,” vrinted by tho Royal Agricnltural Socioty of England, Lo will find the statemonts in my letter of tho 20th ult. to bo correct. Itig quite evident tbat dr. ¢ Diddleman” never was present at one of theso trinls, noither has ho scen o modern Luglish plow at worlr, or ho would not havo discredited my assertions. Many of your renders are well acquainted with the porfect form and working of theso plows, and know that thoy cut and turn the soil with tho lenst possible resistance. Bub tho form of the Ameriean plow eanses it to lift the oarth with such oo extremo wedging pressurc upon tho sharo and turn-furrow that it requires great effort on tho part of the plowman to gnide it and mako it clear its worl ; whilo it is not uncom- mon to seo tho English plowman walking by tho sido of bis horsos, a8 tho plow glides stendily along, maintaining tho same width and depth of furrow tho wholo length of the field, and thet without being held by the plowman, Mr. ¢ DMiddleman" mmny levo heard somo ono say that the Euglish farmer gots Lis goneral supply of implemonts from this country ; and L Bupposo it enits bis business to believe 1, and tell his customors such is the case. DBut T can agsure your readers that this is o decided mis- take ; for to sond the class of imploments and machinery need in this Western country to En- gland would bo useless. I havae for fifteon years beon o manufucturor and denler in_ agricuitural machinery in that country ; and, although I did busiuess in every conuty, and nearly overy town of any note, ull that I ever mot with or heard of from America, that could fiud anythiog of a sale, were Wood's reapers and mowers, and theschavo n very limited patronago compared with what aro manufoetured in Eogland, It is well known that no_country in tho world is in 8o high a state of cuitivation ns Exgll;luud, and any one_investi- gating the matter will ind that hor agricultural implements and machinory keop full paco there- with, T do not mnko these remarks with o bigoted iden that thero is nothing hovo equal to the Old Country; for Lam well nwaro that we have many clasyos of machinery here far i sdvanco of En- glend. But, now thet our farmors aro looking after their interests, and uniting iuto_powerful Dodies to traneact their own business, I think it high timo for all of them to kinow that the plows sud other implements thoy have been obliged to uso ure not 80 near porfection as ropresented ; nud, to illustrate the subject, I must tell them vhat great progrees has been made in o country o Freo Trado in tho manufacture and salo of ieultural implements has been tho rule ; while hiero they hinve beon ground down by a ruinous mounopoly. p What is tormed a cultivator in Eugland is an implemont varying from 3 to 5 feet in width, which hag about tho same elfcet on tho soil 28 the Amorican plow, In fact, it lenves n moro regular surface aud better seed-bed than any plowing I love scen horo. It is light i dreught, and can emsili{ bo mnado for tho attoudant to rido on the imploment. This would bo o very important machino for our ‘Western farmers 3 for, if the clusg of work per- Sormed by thoir plows is good enough, why not Lavo an article that will exccuto threo times the quantity of work in the day? Many will say tho imploments hiero elluded to will not worl in this soil. My roply is, I am no novice in tho trado, and have scon enough to Lnow they will work better than anything L have seeu here in goneral usa. Relative to the trisls at Vienna, I believe tho Now York papors stated at tho time that the Linglish plows tool the first prize. Thorofore I think Mr. *Middleman ™ must havo beon misiu- formed. I tirust ho will not be discouraged, but 860 It to his luterest to_cnlist 1uto tho advunce- E'uqn], whose motto iy, ** Live and let live." nion i8 strength, and they aro slready somo hundreds of thousands strong, men for their loaders, ho need not fear auy of tho troubles 1o has roferred to, Mauy aro look- ing for the timo (which may not bo far distant) when middlewon will be loft far in the rear, ns thing ouly bolonging to tho dark days of ihe past.

A lndy on tho train of the Lake Siore & Michigan Southern Railrond due here Wednes- day evening at 9 o'clock, ereated quite n commo- tlon amoug tho passongors on tho sleoping-car, of which she wns an occupant, by claiming that shio had been robbed by ono of the passengers of 2060, Tho lady in question, when she loft hor home, placad i her bosom n roll of monoy amounting to £700, whilo she put in her poclkot- bool only o much as would bo nccessary for uso during hor jowrney. While on hor wiy liore, sho found that the " money sho had in her ocket-book *was mnot sufilciont to carry hor through, and sho thereforo relired to tho Indics’ enloon. for the purposo of tuking some of the nioney out of hor bosom. After having taken o 50 note and placod it in her portemon- nnio, she replaced tho roll ns sho thought, but gomehow or other vho fatled to, and put it into bor shawl or under Lor arm, Sho then re- turned to the section sho lLind proviously occu~ E!afl and took hier seat, Shortly bofore arrivivg oro sho felt Lier bosom, and, fluding thet the roll containing ull hier worldly troasuro was gone, sho fell baelc in hor seat and frantically ox- cluimed, * My God, L have beou robbed.” As soon as she had wufliciontly re- covored from the shock, sho requested Conductor Kelly to search all the prescngers in tho car, and he good naturedly complied, sub- Jecting evoryono Lo thorough exnmination, not omitting ~ to look into thoir boots and huts. Inthis work he was ably assisted by the lady Lorself, who looked into thogentiomen's pockets und tho ladies’ waterfalls. During tho search tho doora wero guurded by Dopot-Master Wheel- or nud 'Licket-Agont Whitehead, who woro on tho train, But all their elorts wera in vaiu, no traco of the money boing found.
