MACHINES, q
A tec of the many reasons ,ohy these Se,oing

A fe,c of the many reasons ,ohy these Se,oing
Machines are preferred abore all others.
l. They are remarkably simple in their con-
struction. child can operate them, and
understand the mechanism.
2. They are the strongest Sewing Machine
made. 1t is almost impossible to break or get
them out of order.
3. They are sure in their operation; finishing
the work in uniformly perfect manner.
4. They make tight lock- stitch, alike on both
sides of the work, which cannot be unrdreiied.
3. They stitch, hem, bind, fell, run, and gather,
withom bdsting.
6. They sew equally well the lghtest and the
heaviest fabrics.
7. They sew over the heaviest seams without
changing the tension or breaking the finest
thread.
8. They use any No. of Cotton, Thread, or
Silk, directly from the spool.
9. They use a straight needle; curved ones
are liable to break.
10. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
II. They have u rheel feed; none others are
in constant contact with the work.
II. They run easily and almost noiseiess.
Is. They not liable to oil the dress of the
operator.
IA. They do not require screw-driver TO set
the needle.
l5. They do not have to be taken apart to oil
or clean.
l6. They do not form ridges on the under side
of the work, nor ravel out, nor are they waste
full of thread, as is the case with all chain-stitch
machines.
II. They are capable of doing greater rang,
of work, and in a more perfect manner, than any
other Sewing Machine, as Is proved by the result
of our challenge for trial, which has never beer
accepted.

CarrolLton Railroad Disaster of the

CarrolLton Railroad Disaster Of The
19h-Coroner's Investigation Closed.-
On Saturday afternoon last, the Coro-
ner's Jury summoned to examine into
the facts connected with the above dis
as'er, after hearing and considering all
the evidence brought forward, render
ing the following as their verdict:
We, tho jury, sworn to investigate
the matter of the killing Of the boy
Denis Frank, do say that the said Denis
Frank came to his death from Il collision
on the New Orleans and Carrollton Rail
road, on the night of the 10Th of August,
1860; and from the evidence before US,
we do say that we find, in the first place,
that there was no light on the back Car
of the accommodation train, for it has
been proved that the lights were Lit,
but from some cause were out at the
time of the collision, as it has also been
out by the motion of the cars and by
persons opening tie lamps. But, admit
ing that the light was on the car and
lit, we do not think that there is proper
precaution used when the trains are
behind time, as was the case on Sunday
night, at the time of the collision. We,
therefore, find that the Company of the
Now Orleans and Carrollton Railroad
do not take sufficient precaution by
not ordering the conductors that,
when behind timo, they should have a
man stationed at the back part of the
train with a signal light waving. Had
this been done, we are satisfied that
the collision would not have taken
place.
We therefore recommend that the
Company should be compelled by an
ordinance to have signal lantern
always displayed when train is behind
time. With regard. to the engineer
and the rules governing the engine,
we find that the engineer sadly neg
lected his duty in not keeping pro-
per look out, as from evidence given,
the fireman was tho first to discover the
accommodation train and to call on the
engineer to stop, when it was the duty
of the engineer, from his position, to be
the first to see anything on the track.
We also have evidence to prove that it
is tho rule of the Company that the bell
should be rung at every crossing and
stopping place, and it is proved that
the bell was not rung nor any alarm
given whatever. Besides, as it was
customary for the accommodation train
to stop at jackson street, the engineer
must have known that the said accom-
mediation train was at Jackson street
at that hour. We therefore find the
engineer, William Sullivan, guilty of
the crime of manslaughter."

st. John, ~ r, Aug 27-Tho steam
ship City of Baltimore brought the fol-
lowing additional items:
A telegram from Naples says tho
Garibaldians in attempting to land on
the mainland were repulsed.
Genoa papers say Garibaldi disem-
barked at Reggie on the night of tho
10th OF August, and that tho Neapolit-
ans had evacuated Saylla. Both
stories are doubted.
The steamer Velace entered Castill-
amare at midight on the Ii h, and. fred
several cannon shots on the Msnarca
but returned producing no, favorable
result. -
t is believed that Garibaldi intends
attacking Austria on the Croatian
coast at Fiume, in order to provoke
revolution in Croatia and Hungary.
On receipt of this information the Aus
train Government ordered its cruizers
to watch the coast vigorously.
Garibaldi is expected to attack
Venice.
Austria will combat all Italy alone,
Prussia will remain neutral, while other
points do not interfere.

Abolition Abuses IN TcraS.-A letter
of the 9th inst, from Danville, Mont

says:
Yesterday Mr.. Jonathan Ridway
camo up to make report of discoveries
on the San Jacinto. A number. of ne
groes on Judge Goldthwaito's planta-
ten, separately examined, report alike
the Same fact, to-wit: that in the thick
woods Of the San Jacinto river, near
them, five white mea had been camped
with thcm, stating that there was to be
an instruction everywhere, on the first
Monday in August: that these negroes
must join, and they would assist them.
A boy was taken out to show the camp
and the white men. When about 300
yards distant from it, no was told to
whoop, and he was distinctly an
swerqd. He was then sent forward to
bring the person back with him but
on retxning, stated that his whoop

Not a day passes over the head of the

Lists of doubtful and doomed office
holders are regularly transmitted to his
Majesty, and by him forwarded to the
headsman.
The idea that anyN orthern man should
vote for candidate representing per-
secutions like these, almost passes com
prehension, especially in view OF the
fact that the Southern peoples are be-
ginning to open their eyes to their OVID
duties. and will spurn all attempts 81
