The Chief was oronouneal y cool

Inc Chief was pronounced good
working machine, but too heavy of draft
for one team; and so on of the others, ac-
cording to their merits.
Now, it Is said by the dissatisfied agents
OF other machines, that some time after
the above report was delivered. and after
a part of the committee were gone. more
than half of the lockers on and some OF
the agents of competing machines they
got the balance Of the committee in =
room, stated their grievances and. in fact.
had their machines passed upon from their
own statements. TO that | have no OF
lection, but do object to their disparaging
the J H. Nanny Machine in that kind Of
a trial, whore it had no representative, for
| am rather good talker, and would like
hand in; but would suggest that the
next time there i II trial like the last
named, we get together at some place in
town, where we can have good time over
a few bottles of champaign, and let the
best talker take it, Il dent mean more
than his share of the drink. but the YER
dict it would be SO edifying to the farm
crs
The fact is, rs it always does. the J. H.
Nanny came out No. l. or in language
the clique of dissatisfied agents can under
stand "scoopel them out" which ne
counts for their crawling into the smallest
hole they can find, and trying to draw it
after them.
Respectfully,

improvement as any man in it, lie was remark
able through life for an unvarying cheorfulness
of dispOstion-a kindly humor which hardly any
offence could change. He manifested n child
like disposition towards all. An humble opinion
of himself, he was always animated with a fund
of hope, which upheld him in many a trying
hour during the last years ofhis life, having had
previous attacks of that disease of which he died.
And this hope Lecame his solace and strength,
as he felt the approach of death. lie was an
honest man, and well can it be said he had no
enemy, and was an enemy to none.
May he rest in peac C.

had received requisition from the Presideat for
70 more Regimcns-making in all $4,000 men.
Things look more favorable in Maryland

arms to put down secession
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, having issued a
proclama ton several days ago, for volunteers to
isScnd the State, has been compelled to Issue a
counter proc lamation, calling upon the yoluntecr
fsees to remain at home until invited into SER
vice, and thereby save u great expense to the
govcrnment. This does not look much like the
apture of Washington.
1t is reported that Gen. Harney, of the U. 5.
Army was arrested by the Virginians at liar-
nrs Ferry, whilst on his way to Washington
and held as prisoner Of war, and also, that
Senator Mason of Virginia, had been arrested

all later accounts say that Gen. Harvey was
released by order Of Gen. Lee.
All was quiet at Washington the 2Vth, lS,OOO
troops from the North were said to be on hand,
Atow Southern troops were said to be at Har-
pr's Ferry few at Alexandria, few at Acquia
Creek, ard about 1900 at Richmond. SO that

The BOUDoIR SEWING MACHINE, an en-
craving of which is here represented, has now
become recognized favorite wherever it
has been introduced and is, beyond question,
the best, as well MS the handsomest, low-priced
Sewing Machine now before the public.
No. A small and very neat Machine for
Family use.
No. "A large Machine for quilting heavy
work and for Plantation use.
This Machine is much admired for its simplci-
ty, and for its reliability and durability it is un-
surpassed. A child twelve years can run it with
ease and yet 1t will sew from the coarsest cloth
to the finest Swiss There is no trouble of re-
winding the thread, as it is taken from the spools
1t has no belts to give trouble, and will run
backwards as well as forwards. ard still sews
equally perfect, and without danger of breaking
needles. 1t runs by friction, and by closing the
box over it, it Is thrown out Of gear. In fact,
we have no hesitation in recommending it as the
best family Sewing Machine in use.

ORR RLUMDERMEN.-Our information from
,be lumbermen is still of The gloomiest
character. A lacge quantity is now moor~
ed ,at Marietta, Middletown, and other
pcnts; but no buyers are to be found
few RATS have been run through to Port,
but as serious apprehensons Of conii'ca-

Union, are entertained, il is most likely
that no more will be sent forward until
this point is settled.
A Coon SUGGESTION. We haye been re-
uuested to call the attention OF the persons
entrusted with the improvement OF the
Park in the North ward of our borough,
and to suggest the propr.ety OF enclosing
tat once, and having it planted with po-
hloes This should be done by all moans &.
Such crop of mwphie5 as that lot would
moduce, if we'll farmed, would be an orna,
ment such us we may have reason to be
proud Of. If there are not sufficient funds
collected to complete the work as origin
ally designed, ii is possible that there may
be enough for the purpose here suggested.
lfnot, let the amount be raised forthwith
Those interested should see to it.
