Winch IS BEST ?-It is almost too late in
the day to recommend the sewing machine as
a useful article in family. No wel-regula-
ted household is without one This question
settled, the next thing to do is to select Il Q
best one suited to your requirements Both
of the editors of the Home Journal have long
had the Grover & Baker machine in their
households, and can speak from experience
They therefore have no hesitation in saying
that they like this machine, and for the fol-
lowing reasons list. 1t is more simple. du-
rabe. and less liable to arrangements than
others. I'd. 1t sews from ordinary spools,
aud no rewindng of thread is necessary Sd
1t sews with equal facility all fabrics, the mos t
delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds
of thread, silk, cotton or linen. 4th. Its
seam is so strong and elastic that i! never
breaks. 9th. 1t fastons both ends of the
seam by its own operation. 9th It's seam,
though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm
and neither runs nor ravcls in wear. But
besides the above qualities to recommend the
''Grover e. Baker, it has faculty which no
other machine possesses it makes beautiful

This man, one of the earliest and worst of

to demand special vessel to carry his precious

A DARK PIcruRE.-The Daily Nashville
Press and Times Of August has the follow.
ing:-
"A gentleman who has just returned from
Holmes County, Mississippi, gives dark
picture of the condition of affairs there A
former citizen of the county returned there to
get large quantity of cotton which he had
stored away He found on inquiry that one
of the most respectable physicians and plan
tiers in the neighborhood had coniscated the
larger part of it-bccause it was owned by a
Yankee that is, Union man. An arrest
and confinement in prison by the military au.
thorties soon made the thief disgorgc part Of
his stolen property He still lies in jail The
rest of the cotton some 10000 bales, was
burne1 by the citizens as soon as they learned
that the owner had come for it. The people
there are more violently rebellious than ever
They take the amnesty oath, and then curse
the Unionists and the government more furi.
ously than ever. 1t is common thing &c
hear them remark: We'll, have you taken
the oath +? YES, and am a bigger rebel by
long ways than / ever was A merchant
recently took out over $4,000 worth OF
goods 20 one of the adjoining counties. He
had hardly opened his goods when he was
visited by small party of citizens disguised,
some of whom he reco 5nized as his neigh
boris, who robbed him of every dollars worth
of goods. The poor merchant went to the
nearest post and procured a guard of forty
soldiers. to arrest the guerillas. The rebel
citizens rallied to the number Of over one
hundred, bushwhacked our soldiers and forced
them to retreat The bushwhackers then ar,
rested the merchant, stripped him of his boots
and hat watch. and $1,000 in money, and
then fred fifteen bullets through. his body
and left him a manged hideous corps. We
apprehend that something severer than an
amnesty oath or a franchise act is needed to
punish population so barbarous and bitterly
oisloyal as those Mississippi outlaws"
Reconstruction here would evidently be a
work of difficulty.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

According to the last census QS60) it ap-
pears there were in the State of Maryland
lS2,205 white children over five and under
twenty years of age. OF this number Allie
gany County is reported to have had 1887
The entire white population of the State was
515,91s. 1t may be safe to say that the
number is greater now than then but taking
that census for the basis Of our estimate we
may safely rely on having school-going
population here in Allegany of that number
viz: 10.3S7. Making every allowance for
non-attendance, we may say that six thousand
should attend our public schools tho coming
winter. OF this number 700 in Cumberland
alone, the total number between 5 and 90
years in Cumberland being perhaps 1900.
The law requiring the Public schools to be
kept open for six months in the year it can
be readily shown, that now. in the infancy
Of the system. there will not be in hand stuff !
cicnt funds to build school-houses, 80 much
needed, not only in Cumberland, but through
out the county. The people, therefore, should
lend helping hand, with the assurance that
in time the cost of the houses may be refund
ed, provided, such houses are built according
to plans furnished by the Board of Commits
sioners and approved by them. AS the sea-
son is advancing, this matter should have
prompt attention.
As to school houses in Cumberland, where,
to our shame be it spoken, we have so to say,
no school houses, (thc Academy building ex-
oepted ) we need several large buildings for
school purposes, and the Mayor and Council
would deserve lasting debt of gratitude if
they would Immediately take steps to assess
the taxables of the city to meet the expenses
Of building these houses.
As this whole subject is of vital Importance
TO all, it will be we'll for all carefully to study
the school law.
The President of our County Board of
School Commissioners will probably ero long
deliver public addresses on this subject at
various points in the county.

The Great Bank Dedication in New York.

AS already stated large defalcation was
discovered in Phoenix Bank of New York

sunk other thousands in the concert saloons
and on the lewd woman in question. Jenkn s
was arrested on Friday morning at his house,

A New View Of Gen. Lees Case.

DR.. j. II SnodCrass has written letter t.
the Licutcnant-G Governor of Maryland, sug
costing that Gen. Robert Il. Lee be indicted
by the authorities of Mary land for the inya,
sion of that State. He urges that if the na.
the terms granted by Grant to the rebel chie
not to proceed against him for treason to the
United States, that such terms in no way com.
promised the right of Maryland to punish him
for his invasion of her territory. Dir. Snod-
grass is only thus urging on the authorities
of Maryland what has already been declared
in these columns to be the duty of the al-
thoritics of Pennsylvania. More than month
ago, we called attention to the fact that Rob-
ert L. Lee, as the leader of large band of
r.arauders, thieves, incendiaries and murder
ers, when he invaded Pennsylvania, became
ainenable to the laws of the Commonwealth
He left Virginia with the avowed purpose of
entering Pennsylvania to rob our farmers. He
came with Wagons to carry off the contents of
our graneries. He burned and murdered as
he marched into the State. He pcrpetrated
every act of villainy while he was here, and
only left when hard pressed and defeated by
the Feocral forces under Genera! Meade -
What right has the Federal Government to
pardon this villain for offences committed in
a Sovereign State? Can the Federal author
tiles nulify laws not in conflict with the Fed
eral Constitution If Lee is not u thief and
a murderer according to the laws of Penn
sylvania, and if he did not commit these deeds
in this State, then he is not guilty of treason.

Against the severity of these sentences not

Coal Miners SrRlKE-The coal miners
Of South Pittsburg and vicinity are again on a
strike 1t is alleged that when they last went
to work it was with the understanding that
they should dig for four cents per bushel,
only on condition that their employers should
sell the coal at eight cents. The latter, il
appears, have not acted in good faith, in not
reducing the price from the previous figure.
The action on the part of the miners. says the
Chronicle, was not anticipated and several
large manufacturing establishments south o.
the Monongahela river, were compelled to
close. owing to the scarcity of coal. Steps
have already been taken to settle the matter
satisfactorily The coal men have been reap
ing golden harvest during the past two years,
and every strike previous to this has been an
additional excuse to raise the price of mined
coal not in corresponding degree with the
advance paid the miner. but from one to two
hundred per cent. profit. Pitsbury er.
