wearing very neatly made sun-bon-
nets. They came up, partly to see u.s.

but most especially, II not wholly, to
zee our Sewing Machine.
But our object is to tell the differ
ence in their bonnets, which were just
alike--both being well and neatly
made. Yet there was a decided dill
ference, in the fact that one was made
in thirty minutes. the other in a day
and halt. The first was made on
sewing machine, (like the one we have
for sale,) the other was made by hand.
We tell this as fact. to which the
two ladies in question will freely SUBJ
scribe. Then how in the world can
anu family keep from purchasing a
Sewing machine' They would save
enough in a month to more than re-
compense them for the expense. Let
any one who wants a Sewing Machine
of any kind call on us, and we will
take pleasure in supplying their de-
mands. We hope every family in
Franklin county will get one.
The health Of our fair daughters
and mothers demands recluse from
the laborious, irksome, combining, and
misunderstanding system Of hand-sew-
ing. And necessity demands it. Soon
the spring clothing will require to be
made up, and with the aid Of ma
chine it can be done in one.tenth the
time, and at one-tenth the expense.

IT is known to our citizens, as well as
70 many in the country, that Mr.. David
Turner, formerly of Sd street, has pur-
chased the Norton House, on South 4th
street, where he now resides.
We had both read and heard much Of the
reconstruction, and great Improvement
ofthe interior ofthis building, by Its pre-
sent proprietor; but it was not until by
the polileness of Mr.. t., we accepted an
invitation, the other evening, to give him
call, that we had any correct ideaof its
present splendor. We very much doubt,
whether there can bc found in the State,
a house better arranged for the purposes
to which 1t is applied, than is the Turner
House. We shall not attempt to give a
description Of it at this time. That which
most interests the public is, the fact, that
at this house there are table accommoda-
tions Of the richest quality, and prepared
in the very best style. Ice Cream, Straw
berries and Cream, together with all thu
delicacies and luxuries connected with I

THE REIGN OF ART. In this wonder.
full age, Art lays her master touch on al
most everything. The ceilings over us
and the carpets we tread on, are hallowed
by Art. Art winds the railway through
the mountains and the mud: makes her
machines Of wood and iron, to act as il
with knowledge, and annihilates space
with lightning tanned down to the iute-
ledge Of boy. Nothing is too lofty for
her touch and nothing loo humble. A
new proof of this old conviction, has just
fallen under our notice, in the shape of a
CATHARTIc PILL, from the Laboratory Of
that world reno wned Chemist Doct. ]. G..
AVER.
If we understand the subject, he has
carried that article TO the farthes perfection
of which it is capable. Instead of EN-!
ploying Drugs in its composition, as we
have always thought the necessary and
only way, he has with consummate skill
extracted the Uirtues Of the medicine to
be employed and combined them alone
in their purity together. The compost
ton is then mixed and rolled by machin-
ery and steam power into spheriod pill
which is wrapped in an envelope Of gela.
tine, for protection from the effects Of
weather or time, and then thickly coated
with sugar, 10 serve as it's passport over
the palate. notwithstanding all this
Iabored perfection they are offered to the
Public at less than one cent each. How.
ever humble the department, we think
this may be safely characterized as the
consummation of Art in its line.- Morn

Firemens' Parade.

Far beyond the expectation Of the mos
sanguine, was the magnificent display of
the Fire Companies, Of our city, on Sat-
urday last.
At the appointed hour. the three COM
panies formed into procession, and march.
ed through the various streets specified in
the programme formerly published.
The "Reliance" and Phenix," pre-
sented a most imposing appearance, in
beautiful uniforms, with their Engines in
complete order. The 76 is new COM
pany, just being organized, and should
meet the favor Of all.
Wreathes almost without number, and
of the most beautiful appearance, were
presented to the different companies by
the ladies, ns they passed along the streets;
and what was still more palatable 10 the
"inner man." was the gift Of some half
dozen Pound Cakes, by Misses Russell
and Boyer, on which the boys feasted to
their hearts content, with wish Of a
thousand blessings TO rest on the fair do
nors.
What added greatly 10 the interest Of
tfe displav was the excellent music which
was discoursed at proper intervals.
These organizations should be fostered
by agrea'er amount of liberality upon the
part Of the "City Fathers" A large
proportion Of the members are persons
who have no property themselves, to
protect, and yet, without pay, they stand
ready, at the tap of the bell, 10 fly into
danger, for the protection of the lives and
property Of others. 1t is shame that
they should be reQAired, to any extent, to
do this at their own expense. There
should be an appropriation forthwith
made, from the city treasury to pay for
the uniforms Of the two companies alrea
dy equipped, and an additional sum suf-
6cienl to purchase uniform for the 76.
Such an investment would be quite as
profitable as that of rail road stock =; and
much more in accordance with the prin.
ciphs of common justice. Al least such
is our view of the matter.
