FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 22. I860.
Uow Prize-Fights are Got Ur.?An
American writes to the Clipper, detailing
how prize-fights are got up in and about
uondon. The process is so similar to t e
practice here, that we make an extract from

AMERICAN HARVESTER.
rililK St i'l'.K lORiTY Or KIKBV'S AMEIl
JL 1CAX HARVESTER, over all others, will
become more obvious by looking at it.** several
superior points in detail, and then considering
that all these separate excellencies are combined
iu one MACHINE, in the most simple and effec
tive manner. In some of these excellencies it ij<
entirely unequalled, and in none ot them is it sur
passed. While other MACHINES may equal it
in some of its desirable qualities, we can safely
sav there is uot another MACHINE in the world
which COMB1XES ALL THE EXCELLEN
ClKS th-it are found combined in KIRBY'S
A M K K i CA X H A K V ESTE R?
Wo would call the attention of Farmers to the !
following facts:
1. That?This is the most perfect Combined
Mower and Leap;;.- in use: better thiin any single
mown as a mower, and belter than any single
reaper a.-- a reaper.
v?. That Jt is the strongest and the lightest be
ing made entiroly of Iron, except pole, seat and
platform. The iinger-bar is of wrought angle
iron, of great strength and lightness.
That?It has a Revolving Track-Clearer,
which is the only track-clearer that will thorough
ly separate the cut from the uncut grass, and with
out leaving the cut grass in bunches.
1 That?It retires one-third i.bss draft
THAN AW OTHER MACHINE.
j Tliat. Xo I'RKssrre is made i pon the iior
s] ?>' NCI K S AMI NO >II>E 1?RAKT.
7;. That Its ability to work on rough ground
is not ecnalltd by any joachine yet produced.?
The finger-bar working up and down, indepen
dent <'i Use 'it ivhig wheel, enables the machine to
through deep furrows and ditches, among stones
vid bo-'s. over knolls and gopher hills, where no
other machine could follow it. It will work from
?J to IS inches high. .
7. That?11 can be used in mowing either with
or without the reel.
S. That?in both mowing and reaping, the po
sitions of the driver and raker are the most con ve
nient and easy, enabling them to do their labor
with but little wxertion.
!? That?While the machine is in motion the
driver can, by means of a lever, throw the cutters
out and into gear, and by another lever he can
raise and lower the tinger-bar to pass obstructions,
or move from held to tic Id.
in. That?It is easily managed, marvciouslv
simple, well built, compact, not liable to get out of
order, made of the best materials, Babbet, metal
boxes, and is furnished with double trees, neck
voke and extras complete.
' We would request all those who arc in want of
a REAPER and MOWER, to send for a Circular
descriptive of tuc MAC1IIX13, e., before making
other arrangements. The MACHINES arn iu all
cases warranted to give satisfaction, or no sale.?

His ale compares favorably, indeed, with the best
Philadelphia a'ul Albany ales, being, according
to our taste, much more like the best English and
Scotch ales than those imported from either of

X TRY RESIDENCE.?I wish to sell the tract
of land on which I reside, two miles from Alexan
dria, on the Hunting Creek Bridge road, adjoin
ing Lhe beautiful residence of George Mason, esq.,
containing about 152 ACRES, 120 of which are
cleared, the remainder in timber of original growth.
The improvements consist of a COl 1'AGE

gon shed.-, stabling lor 10 head of slock, and ovcr
.-k-i-r- house, all in a gvo-.i state ot preservation.
The .-ite on which the dwelling liousc stands, is
unsurpassed for its healthy location, a single in
stance of illness, arising from Chills. Fevers, either
Bilious or Intermittent, never having been known
to occur, and affords one of tho mast beautiful
Panoramic views in tho State.
In the distance, only seven miles oft, the Fede
ral City, in all the splendor of its reminiscences,
irs Capitol, Navy Yard, Patent Office, Washington
Monument, and other public buildings, appear to
the eve, in the grandeur of a full and unobstructed
lovlincss, whilst at your feet, as it were, lays the
delightful city of Alexandria, full of untiring en
ergy, enterprise and commerce; whoso base is wash
ed by the waters of the noble "Potomac,' as it
rolls onward enveloped by the hills of Maryland,
on one side, and those of Mount Vernon on the
other. The whole presenting .to the vision a scenic
display of gorgeous and jui!rivaled beauty.
The surface of the tract presents a series of
small conical hiils of from .10 to 50 feet high, sur
rounded by gentle slopes of from 5 to 10 acres each
affording sites for residences, none of which offer
fewer attractions than theonc on which the dwel
