A Coon ONE,-A story is told Of Dick,
a darkey in Kentucky, who was notori
Gus thief, SO vicious in this respect that all
the thefts in the neighborhood were
charged to him. On one occasion Mr..
Jones, neighbor of Dicks master, called
and said that Dick must be sold out of
that part of the country, for he had stolen
all his (Mr. Jonese's) turkeys. Dicks
master could not think so. The two,
however, went into the field where Dick
was at work, and accused him of the
theft.
"You stole Mr.. Jouese's turkeys" said
the master. t-.',
"No, 1 didn't, ntassa," responded Dick.
The master persisted.
"Well," at length said Dick, "Pll tell
you massa; / didn't steal dem turkeys,
but last night when went across Mr..
Jonese's pasture ! saw one of our rails on
dc fence, so l brought home de rail, and

Club Room last evening was well attend
cd and addressed by GEO. w. GRAY, Esq,
of Grand Rapids, followed by Mr.. JoHN
GALLOWAY. 1t is privilege Of rare and
exquisite pleasure to listen to such elo-
quencc, candor and incontrovcrtible argu-
ment, as Mr.. GRAY presented TO those
who were there. Mr.. GALLOWAY spoke
forcibly and truthfully, showing clearly
and faithfully the corruption and hypocri-
sy which pervades the ranks of black re-
pnblicanism not only in our own State
government, but throughout this fair
country wherever in the ascendancy.

FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

Now in use irrespective of Price
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEsr Wilson's Machine. r,
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated TO the needles.
This is n great desderatum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
ID The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by a larger
one, instead of to the long arm of lever US i'm
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes tho
motion of the needle both circular and weak
while the former gives strength and direetncss.
Sd. The great power and directness of tho
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gnuzo
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost euual
case, and the Machine can be made To run.
without changing needle or thread, through ali
the different thicknesses, from n sheet of paper
10 heavy leather and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking thread. We
know Of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th II uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, IL
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; thas much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed quilts &C., and it will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions ars
regulated from above.
9Th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
II will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
a similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments

How the Eclipse was kept.

The facetious local Of the Buffalo Repub-

places showing how the eclipse was kept
in each. Here are some of them
CLEVELAND, lSth.-Immense crowd to the
eclipse. Half fare charged on all the Rail
Roads to allow the country people to come IN
and see it. In order to deiray expenses
(eclipses can't be got up for nothing you
know,) a small admission fee is charged. The
Police have made several arrests of persons
who have tried to see it without a ticket.
All the tugs, canal boats and wood scOws
have gone to Put-in-Bay on an excursion.
In Cleveland we 'sexcurs'' on the slightest
provocation. Judge Spalding has just offer
ed a series of Resolutions.

SALE OF REAL ESTATE. The extensive
sale of Real Estate belonging to the estate
and heirs of the late Henry Leavenworth,
announced for some time past took place to-
jav, and of course attracted some attention
among capitalists and property holders IN
the vicinity. The various lots were sold as
follows: No l. Dwelling house corner OF
Catlin's lane was struck off to II. n.
Ballard, at SI.75O. No. ,. Brick Store,
occupied by H. H. Doolttle, to IL. p.
Hickok, at $2,335. No. 3, LeavenwOrth s
Block. to Frederick Smith, at S. $50. No.
1. Two small houses at Winooski, to Wires
& Shaw at $400.
The new Blacksmith Shop on Mechanics
Street. otherwise known as Skinner Lane)
was knocked down to S. Wires at S495.
Three other tenement houses on Mechanics
street and Markham's Alley, were bid OFF by
II. n. Ballard at $500, $500, and $3.50. \
small house at the south end of Markham s
Alley was struck off to Charles Benns at
5000 The last lot on the bill, being the
brick carpenter shop and dwelling house on
Markham's Alley, was withdrawn from
sale.
The bidding generally was not very spirited,
and the prices realized are low, if the orr
ginal cost of much Of the property is con-
sidered but on the other hand are perhaps
as high as could have been expected, under
all the circumstances. The property goes,
as it will be observed, into excellent hands,
and under Mr. Smiths energetic control we
shall expect soon to see Leavenworth's Block
humming throughout with active business.

FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Jura, which arrived at New
York Monday afternoon, brings dates OF the
18th inst The French Government had
refused to denationalize the two French yes
sells purchased for Garibll i. The siege OF
Mess1na, according to the Paris Patrle, had
been decided upon.
Telegraph news from Naples IS OF the 4th,
and describes the new constitution as a still
born child, which IS looked upon by the
people with utter indifference.
There is report current at Paris that
Garibaldi has set himself in motion Tor at
lacking Messna. The latest reliable news
from Palermo of the Sd describes review
held by him over his 1900 volunteers.
1t seems that there is to be a cond meet
ing of German sOyereIgns at Munich, where
the Emperor Of Austria will hold the place
filed at Baden by the Prince Regent Of
Prussia.
Further papers have been laid before Par
lament respecting Savoy and Nice and the
interests of Switzerland. The last despatch,
dated June p, is by Lord John Russell, and
intlmates the unwilIingness Of her Majesty's
government to take part IN conference.
The state Of Italy and the conduct of Gene
raj Garibaldi had again been debated in the
House Of Lords.

FATAL ACADEMIA young man, nam
Lewis Page, son Of Moses Page OF Hydepark,
was killed Sunday afternoon, in johnson,
by the explosion of a gun in the hands Of
another young man named Geo. Ladd. As
we learn, Ladd had taken the gun down from
its rest. and was handling it, when Pags
exclaimed % Make ready take aim fire.
As he spoke Ladd raised the weapon to his
shoulder, and with the word it exploded,
killing Page instantly Ladd was
arrested but we understand that he
i. not accused of any wilful intent. 1t has
been found by experiment that the lock of
the gun was very loose, and it is supposed
that in lifting the weapon to his shoulder
the hammer caught in his coat enough to
cock the gun. and when his finger pressed
the trigger, it went off. We do not learn
that there was any quarrel or i'll feeling be
tween the parties. whatever.

principles which now confront each other In
federal politics The decisive hour has come
and every citizen and patriot should choose
his side. The choice is between slavery and
freedom for the Territories, and between the

they create. Time and civilization have
pronounced against slavery The institution

the patriarchal relation has sOftened in many
