This question settled the next thing to do
is to select the best one suited to your re-
quirements. 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 following reasons:
LIST, 1t Is more simply, durable, and less
liable to arrangements than others. ID
1t sews from ordinary spools, and no re-
winding of thread is necessary. Sd. 1t sews
with equal facility all fabrics, the most del.
icate and the heaviest, and with all kinds
of thread, silk, cotton, or linen. 4th. Its
seam is so strong and elastic that it never
breaks. 5th. 1t fastens both ends of the
seam by it own operation. 9th. Its seem.
though cut at every sixth stitch, remains
firm, and Meth runs nor ravels in wear. -

cheers The Democratic Band and large
concoursc of fcitizens were also present
General MoRGAN addressed as many as

1NTEMPERANCE AMONG WO-

In the Temperance Convention i at
Saratoga, that the names of thirteen
hundred rich mems daughters, in the
State of New York, are on the list of
applicants for admission to the Inc
btiate Asylum at Binghamton, in this
State. This may be somewhat of an
exaggeration; we trust that it is SO.
But no one who hears and reads the
reports circulated concerning the
present habits of fashionable society,
can doubt that intoxication is fear

the degraded classes. That it should
be so is cot strange Wine is used
freely at the evening party, in the

THETAIloR ANDDEAN SWIFT

A tailor in Dublin, near the resi-
denceiofTthe Dean, toekTif into his
head that he was specially and di-
yinelY inspired to interpret the prop.
hecies, and especially the book ei
Revelations. Quitting the shop

His monomania was wei known to
Dean Swift, who heneyolentlS watch

was furnished with glass door. saS

Dean, II am in great trouble, and no

me,eut of my difficulty
This unexpected welcome inspired
the tailor, strengthened greatly his
assurance in his own prophetic char
acter, and disposed him to listen to
the disclosure. go y
"MY friend" said the Dean az

chapter of Revelations and am great

of an angel that came down from
heaven, who was so large that he
placed one foot on the sea, and the
other on the earth, and lifted up his
hands to heaven. Now my knowI-

Dean, .'enables me to calculate ex-

This sudden exposition; came like
an electric shock to the poor tailor
Herushed from the house, ran to
his shop. and quick revulsion of
thought and feeling came over him.
Making breeches was exactly his line
of business. He returned to his oc

FOR ST. CROIX.

MONDAY THE 4TH SEPTEMBER 1865, forenoon
at II o'clock, the Colonial Council held their
9Th meeting. All the members were present.
The minutes of the former session were read.
The Chairman informed the Council, that
the following cases had been laid on the table
for perusal a proposal of the Government
concerning aid from the Immigration Fund for
the promotion of the importation of laborers by
private parties, and a proposal of 3 members
(Heilbuth, Christmas and SarauW,) for the APP
pointment OF a permanent committee for the
purpose of investigating memorials addressed
to the Council concerning the economy of the
Island. The aforementioned proposal was en-
tered on the order of the day, according to the
notice issued to the members.
The Council proceeded to the discussion Of
the cases on the order of the day.
/. The proposal of the 3rd member for Chris
tiansted's town (Holstein) for the repeal of tho
LIST sentence of s s of the plan of organisation
of the forces, dated 9Th June 1851, together
with the amendment given in by the proposer
and the LIST member for Frederiksted's town
(Sarauw).
The proposer stated the motives for the mo-
ton.
His Excellency the Governor stated his Opin-
ion regarding the form of the proposal, and
pointed out, that the existing practice relative
to the nomination of officers for 4 years was
founded on economy in behalf of the colonies,
to this effect that the eventual pensions are
borne by the mothercountry. His Excellency
the Governor led the attention to the wording of
the proposal,
Several members expressed their opinion in
favor of the proposal. The propOser modified
the reduction of the proposal in accordance
with the remarks of His Fxcellency, whereupOn
the Council resolved, with 16 votes against l,
to recommend the proposal to the Governor.
2. Petitions for the unchanged continuance of
the system of weights.
The 5th crown-member (Walker) and the
End member for Christiansted's town (POnta-
vice), who had adopted the petitions as their
own, respectively for Frederiksted and Chris
tiansted, stated the motives to the memorials.
The case was discussed by the Governor, in
which discussion the Ch~airman-haying vacat-
ed his seat, which was temporarily filled by the
Vice Chairman-and several members took
part; the petitions were rejected by Is votes
against 2.
8. Petition from P. B. Hatchett for remunera-
ton for services executed in the printing office
for the st. Croix Burgher Council.
The 3rd crown member (DuBois) introduced
the case as his own, observing, that the memo
rial had been laid before the said Council after
he had retired; thus he was ignorant of the
treatment Of the case by the Council.

The Richmond Whig Threatens Brit
ish and French Commerce.
Ipresa Disnatch

New YORK, Jan. 5-The Richmond
Wing has the following editorial threat
ening British and French commerce:
The time has come when it may be
worth while for our authorities to con-
sider whether it may not be well to treat
the foreign governments with some OF
their own physic. Why may we not, fol-
lowing their own example, declare the
ports of the United States blockaded,
and make the vessels of Great Britain,
France, &c, seeking to enter or depart
from these ports, lawful prizes OF our eru-
sers2 A cowardly care of her commerce
has been the constraining cause with
Great Britain in her one-sided neutrality
and in her meek submission to the re-
peated insults and outrages OF the Yam
kee government 1t may not be impossl-
BILE to reach her through the sole sensi-
tive me lium. We may deprive her pre-
cious commerce of the protection that her
pusillanimous conduct toward the Wash
ington government has hitherto secured.
We throw out these suggestions for the
consideration of those who direct our al
fairs The attitude of suppliants has
gained us nothing Perhaps bolder con-
duct might avail something.
