The FLoRENcE.-There are some facts
in connection with this new and unequal
ed sewing machine, that persons DESTROYS
of purchasing, the very best wo'd do well
to remember, few Of which are here CIV
en-
First-It is the only machine extant
having reversible feed, which enables
the operator to sew either right or left at
pleasure.
Second-It is tho only machine in the
world that makes perfectly elastic seam,
alike on both sides of the fabric.
Third-It not only makes the lock
stitch, but three Others, which for certain
kinds OF work are much superior, especial
" where elasticity is required.

GRAND HAVEN and Tallmadge are the
only towns in Ottawa County that came
off with flying colors in the late draft. 1t
can not be attributable, we think, to a
greater desire on the part of the citizens
Of these towns TO honor the draft Of the
government, or our patriotism, than those
Of our sister towns, that their full quota Of
men in the late call has been furnished by
volunteering, but mainly owing to the
fact that the leading citizens have been
active and vigilant in effecting voluntary
enlistments. Let US not flag in the work.
Another demand is made upon us. Let
US go right to work; be equally as vigil
liant and active, as heretofore, and we
shall again enjoy the proud satisfaction tc
know that government has no demand
upon US that We are not disposed to hon,
or voluntarily.
Let the unpleasant occurrence of q
draft in our neighboring towns inspire al
to leave no effort untried to prevent sec
ond occurrence of so undesirable an event
Time and money will accomplish wonder
ful results.

IT is proposed at the next session of
Congress, to reduce the price of exemp-
ton ofconsctipts to 500, and to advance
the pay of soldiers to 500 per month
1t is thought that these measures will
have a most happy effect in aiding a vig-
orous prosecution of the war.

THE STAMP ACT.

FRIENDS BARNS: would like to ask,
through your paper, for the consideration
of the knowing ones, few questions on
the subject embraced in the heading of
this article, and would be very happy TO
receive candid answers from any one who
is capable Of throwing light upon it thro'
the columns of the Nevs.
/. Wherein does our revenue stamp
act differ in its nature, character or object
from the old English stamp act, Of which
our revolutionary fathers complainedl
ii. If that act operated unfavorably
on the commercial and financial interests
of the people, why should not our stamp
act have the same effect on the interests
of the people in these days9
III. If the English Crown had no
right to impose that act on the people, in
those days, by what rule of right can the
Administration of the American Union
impose the same kind of law on the peo-
pie of this country in these dsysl
w. If the British stamp act had a
tendency to render the rich richer and the
poor poorer what good reason is there
why we should not look for the same eff
feet to follow the operations of the Amer
lean stamp actl
V. Is there not already an evident
tendency of this act in the same direction 7
vi. Do not the poorer and laboring
classes already justly complain of the in
equality Of its operations9
VII. On what ground, then, can it be
justified?
VIII. Can it be justified on the plea
of the necessity of raising revenue to
support the Administration in the prose-
cutiou Of the war for the suppression Of
the rebellion?
TX. Could not q sufficient revenue be
raised easier for the laboring classes, and
more equally for NIL, by taxation on the
real and personal estate of the people!
X. Would not all the people share
more equally in the burden of raising the
revenue by fair and regular taxation9
XI. Is that law constitutional
XII. Does that clause Of the consti.
tuition of the United States which grants
the power to Congress ito raise a leve-
nue., lay imposts and duties" &C., proper
ly interpreted refer to the people Of the
United States as the subjects of those du-
ties and impostsl

WEDsTER.-The Boston Post, in no.
ticing the recent visit of Mrs. Webster to
the tomb of her husband in Marsh6eld,
says, after ten years of sepulture in the
harbor of the Pilgrims, the doors of the
tomb swung solemnly back, and the lid
of the sarcophagus was raised by the
friendly hand of surviving friendship
Peter Harry, Esq, to see what traces a
decade of yeaIs in death had left of the
iIlustrious departed. 1t was found that
"the noble brow was yet perfect in all its
features" and that the "contour Of that
impressive face" was preserved the same
as on the day when the funeral of ten
thousand, at whose head was President
elect of the United States, in all his SUI
pernal prime, took up its solemn march
from the library at Marsh6eld to wend
its way to the "Tomb by the Great Sea. "

FIVE and one half million of dollars, it
is announced, has already been received at
the Treasury Department of the United
States as Communication money of con-
scripts, to the number Of 1888 men,
These exemptions, together with those re-
lieved from military service on account
of physical disability, leave but few men
secured for the use of government by the
late draft. Hence the necessity of'a call
for another 100000 men, and inasmuch
as this call is not required to be honored
until the 9Th day of January next, it is
more than probable that Congress, in the
mean time, will do away with the odious
$500 clause and thus compel conscripts
To 60 or furnish substitute.

The draft passed off in this Congress
ional district very quietly indeed, no dis
turbance, only a general anxiety manifest
ed to know who are the lucky ones in
Uncle Abe's great prescription lottery.
The prize drawers generally receive the
announcement of their fortunes with be-
coming modesty, determined to do the
part of men cheerfully, rather than act
babishly in the matter. 1t is presumed
that very large proportion of the chosen
will shoulder the musket or obtain some
one to do it for them, as few indeed rel
ish the idea of paying $500 at the pres
ept time as an exemption fee and run the
risk of being drafted again in January
next.

INCREASE OF RATs.-The Formers G1aette
(EngIish) asserts and proves by figures that
one pair of rats will have progeny and de
scendants amounting to no less than 65l :

family can be kept down, they would then
consume more food than " ould sustain $4,000

of rats than of small birds

shooting small birds is cruel man whoever
