OUR NEEDLEWOMAN,

Mr.. EDITOR Il have read and heard much
of the hardships of the New York needle-wo-
men, and L bid everything God-speed that ufi-
dertakes to improve their condition. But we
were not aware that a similar state of things
exists nearer home, until our attention was d.
rected to the matter by a communication
which appeared in your paper a few weeks
since. If the statements contained in that ar
ticle are substantially correct, land we have
reason to believe, from subsequent inquiry
and investigation, that they are sol is it not
high time that something of the kind was at
tempted among ourselves. We would ear
nestly make an appeal in behalf of the desti-
tute needlewomen of Worcester, to tie generos-
ity of all who may wish to engage their SER
vices, and especially to those gentlemen who
furnish employment to so many hands, in
making garments for extensive clothing estab-
ments. We do not believe the pecuniary in
terests of any engaged in a lucrative trade
would suffer by adopting a more generous
system of compensation to the seamstresses
they employ, nor will we, until forced to such
a conclusion, believe that any of our citizens
are so infatuated with the love of gain, as to be
willing to persist in taking advantage ola poor
womans necessities, merely for the sake of
enriching themselves. There must be some
thing wrong, however, in system which so
extensively prevails, of exacting such an
amount of labor, with so exceedingly made
quate compensation.
Let it be remembered that it is not charity
which is asked for by those who have the abiI-
ity and the disposition to labor, but the means
whereby they can earn, at least, decent liv-
ing for themselves and children, by the dill
gent use of the needle. Charity is indispens-
able in many cases to meet the necessities of
the infirm, the SICK and the helpless poor-to
provide for the destitute orphan and the for
saken child; and no where, perhaps, is itmore
freely and generously bestowed for deserving
objects than in this highly favored city. But
for the particular class of whom we now speak,
employment, with just and equitable remuner-
alton, is greater benefit than alms-giving

SAM. F. JONES, JR., AGAIN.-In the Supe-
rior Court at Norwich on Thursday morning,
the bonds in Sans case were, on motion Of
his counsel, Messrs. Martin Welles and Chas
Chapman, and by consent of the States attor-
ney, Mr.. Wiley, reduced to $500. They
were then called and forfeited. Thus ends
the Jones case, and we suspect several other
individuals breathe much more freely. Sam
is social fellow, and didn't go into that bust
ness alone. 1t is whispered that Sam. pays to
the Colchester Bank Receivers 5000, which
with the bond of $4,000, pays all the circula-
ton, and the receivers and States expenses
The same whisper adds that Sam. gives secur-
ity against making any use of whatever bills
he may yet have on hand.-Harttord Press

MAY.-The floral month opened delightfully."-
fair The young buds, frightened by the
storms of the last month, have began to bios
som courageously, and will soon be in full
flower As May day fell this year on Sunday,
the immemorial festival was to certain extent
observed on Saturday. The children, espe-
cially took time by the forelock, and were mer-
ry as larks over the retiring month whose
sands of life were nearly run out. Yesterday,
the pleasures of the season were sought by
many, perhaps on the principle, "the better
the day, the better the deed" This morning,
should nature continue her considerate regard
for the proprieties of the season, many more
will brush the dew from its young and fragrant
fruits, and prove their loyalty to the Queen OF
the year. Welcome to the floral month
THIRD BAPTIST CHURcH-Rev. Mr.. Way
land, pastor of this church since its organiza-
ton, preached an able discourse, yesterday af-
ternoon on "The Sabbath and the Sanctuary, y
indicating the proprety and necessity of sta
ted times and places of public worship. He
took his text from Psalms 122:I-I was glad
when they said unto me, let us go into the
house of the Lord" 1t was suggested by the
fact that the day was the fourth anniversary
since it had been decided to erect the church.
Abiding to their new bell, the solemn tones of
which, on that beautiful May day morning, had
for the first time summoned them to the house
of God, he said that, among other laudable pur-
poses, it might be devoted opubic uses. And
as in the time of the Revolution the church
bells of Lexington and Concord were rung to
summon the yeomanry ofthe land to defence
of their rights and liberties from British op-
preston, so now the reverberation of this bell
should be heard, in case of any attempt by kid
nappers or their agents to return to bondage
any fugitive from Southern slavery, to summon
our people to the rescue of freedom thus i'm
perilled. And in case of so calamitous result
as success in such attempt, this bell should
toll the death kneli of liberty and human rights.
Police CouRT.-Joseph Botomly and Ell
jah Kimball chichester were before the Court
Saturday, on the charge of assault and battery
upon Bridget Keefe. The charge was not sus-
tanned and they were discharged.

CHRISTIANITY OF REFoRM.-Russell S.
Cook publishes in the New York Times an
elaborate statement of the benevolence and
economy of the system of colporteurage car
ried on by the American Tract Society, closing
with the hope that the Society may soon over
come the attempt "to degrade it from its spirit
ual and eternal relations to political, CONNER
cial, philantEropc, and retormatory enterprises.
He expresses himself more definitely in anotll-
er paragraph, wherein he INDUCES in the hope
that its unhappy and persistent discussions"
may be stopped, and the "ascendancy of
evangelism over radicalism" restored. Mr.
Cook makes himself unhappy by longing for
what is impossible. The Tract Society may
cut itself off from the world and insulate it
itself away from the unpleasant jargon,
which attends assaults upon organic and
individual sins. But true Christianity is
never jealous, or afraid of philanthropic
and reformatory enterprises. When the
day of its triumph and its reward comes,
the saints will not be those who sighed
for the triumph of evangelism, whatever might
become of man, but those who were "persist-
ent" in applying it as a reformatory and cor
receive agency, to the actual sins and dangers
by which men are imperilled.

The Democratic papers tell an anecdote
connected with Mr.. Stewards attention to the
ministers of the Oneida Methodist Conference
which is good, if not true. During the sit

The Democratic State Committee of Illinois
has formally expelled Senator Douglas from
the Democratic party. The expulsion is jus
tilted upon the principle, elaborated at great
length, that the party must visit the penalty
of the Democratic law upon all offenders, but
would not have treason and rebellion in the
ranks in every part of the Union. They hold
it of vital necessity he should be impeached
and punished for his rebellion against party
usage.
