some interest TO railway trave ers viii probably

and upon It's decision every person who travels
on railroads is more or less interested. The facts
Of the case are as follows On Saturday last a
gentleman in Philadelphia purchased ticket on
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad from that city to
Pittsburg, which, on It's face, guaranteed him one
seat. Upon entering the car all the seats were
occupied, and the attention OF the conductor was
called to the fact The passenger however, re-
ceiyed no satisfaction, and when the conductor
came round 10 lift the tickets, the passsn ger
refused 10 surrender his on The ground that the
company did not fulfil It's part OF the contract.
The conductor demanded the ticket or threatened
expulsion Of the passenger from the cars. Tue
passenger stuck to his pOiRt, and when the train
reached DOwBingtown the conductor led him out
Of the car. No resistance was made except a
verbal protest, and the expressed determination
TO test the matter before the courts. Whether

FoR LONG TINE PHILADELPHIA HAS FELT
the want Of an establishment where lady could
80 and secure complete outfit. Formerly a
bride would have to depend on her friends to ad-
wise what TO get and where to get it. Now we
have in this city frst-class establishment,
where a PERSON can have everything made at the
shortest notice, in the most elegant manner and
at very reasonable prices We recommend our
lady friends 10 go to the Wheeler & Wilson sales
room and examine specimens OF their work. We
have never seen anything at all equal t IT, either
in this country or Europe. The Wheeler
Wilson Company do all kinds of family sewing
quilting, tuckiug, &c. at their office, or are pre-
pared % send out Obging and competent young
ladies TO sew by the day or week with or without
machines. Now is the Time for families to have

Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine does the
best work and is the most economical in the use
