The QUAKEREssEs.-We have heard Il
observed (says the Delaware County Re-
publcan) by persons who were present
during the progress of the Hinchman case.
in Philadelphia. and by others who read
the published report Of the trial. the evil
dence given by the female portion of the
witnesses was remark able for lis correct
ness and beauty. One of our Philadel
phia contemporaries thus alludes TO the
subject:
"Being present in the court during the
examination of these female witnesses.
we were struck with admiration at the
manner in which they testified. Their
evidence was straight forward. correct
and most beautiful langua gc-not n word
was misplaced. They seemed to have
perfect idea of the logical value Of every
sentence. and. in propriety Of manner and
self possession we have never seen male
witnesses who excelle1 them. They were
clear and precise in their statements. and
sustained the long and able cross cxmina-
tons of DAVID PAUL BRow:J with dignity
and calmncss.
They seemed to have perfect idea of
the technical points which arose during
the case; and when, after discussions be-

opinions, they shaped their testimony in
accordance with the decision, though at
times the principles settled were rather al
siruse. We do not think any lady wit
nesses, drawn from fashionable society.
could have sustained the trying circum-
stances under which these Quakeresses
were placed half SO we'll The letters
which passed between some Of them and
the plaintiff were beautiful specimens of
eplsiolary composition.
'There never has been trial, within
our knowledge, in which the Witnesses
were above the ordinary run Of people in
intelligence as in this case; and by far
the most interesting. among the one hum
dred and fifty examined. were the female
witnesses. Their whole examination
shows the superiority OF the manner in
which the Quakers educate their women,

Greatest Inrention Of the Age.-The
Rochester American, abiding to Brad
shaw's Telegraphic Sewing Machine. on
exhibition in that city, says:
"Of all amazing. novel, curious yam
keeisms this is the greatest, 1t is contriv-
ed SO ingeniously as to do the labor Of
eight persons in style that will compare
with that done by the carefuest hands.
and yet so simple as to be worked by a
child. without the slightest possible liabii-
to get out of order. A pair Of pantaloons
can be made by it, the button holes and
the sewing on of the buttons excepted, in
thirty minutes We have never seen any
work SO strongly put together as the work
done by this machine. And this is also
