wife has showed me some sewing she
has just finished, after having received
about an hour and & half instruction
on it, She never sewed a stitch on a
machine until we received this. So
much for it's simplicity of construct ton
1t is beautiful some pretty things are
not good, but this combines beauty and
goodness. 1t makes but very little
noise; in this respect differing from
much in this world. Ith:nk it should
be named the General Grant Machine!
for it does much and makes but little
noise about it. So much for its quie
qualities, AS to the strength Of the
stitch, my wife tells me it cannot be
pulled apart; the c!o.h would tear be
fore the sewing would break. The
stitch is smooth, even, and really beau

THE RADICAL PROGEAMME

10 those who have studied the tactics
Of the Republican party, and become
familiar with It's policy ofmanagemcnt,
its programme Tpr the future is plainly
perceptible. The present object Of
that pa1tyis to retain possession of the
government that is, to continue their
partizans in office for some time longer,
until they shall haye affected full
strength and power warranting them
to cast CT The mask Of hypocrisy they
now W ear towards the President and
boldly announce their radical schemes
1t is idle to say that the party sup
ports President johnson OR his policy
with honesty-or, in fact that it sup
ports him or it at all. With their ac-
custonel political cunning they select
ed johnson as their candidate for the
Vice Presidency, to secure Democratic
votes. Does any man in his senses
believe that he would have been nom
mated, if it had been supposed for .
moment he would have succeeded Mr..
Lincoln?
The leaders Of the party those who
control lt-who oxn the Black Repub-
lican organization, bitterly denounce
both the President and his policy
Yet others profess to support him
profess to do so, because thereby they
retain Office and consequently are ena
bled to use the great power Of the Ad'
ministratlon for electioneering purpo

Whatever faults Vol
taire may have had he certainly show
ed himself man Of sense when he
said: "The more married men You
have; the fewer clilnro tlv'v VIII bo.
Marriage renders man mere virtuous
and more wise" An unmarried man
IS but half of a perfect being, and It
takes the other half to make things
right; and it cannot be expected that
in this imperfect state he can keep the
straight path Of rectitulc any
more than boat with one oar
or bird with one wing: can keep a
straight course. In nine cases out Of
ten, when men become drunkards, Or
ehere they commit crimes against the
peace Of the community, the foundation
of these acts were laid while in Stu
Gle state. or where the VIE is, as is
sometimes the case an unsuitable
match. Marriage changes the whole
current Of his thoughts, his affections
and his acts. Here IS home for the
entire man, and the counsel, the affsc-
tons, the example, and the interests
Of his ''better half'' keep him from er,
ratic courses, and from falling into a
thousand temptations to which he
would otherwise be exposed. There.
fore the friend to marriage is a friend
to society and to his country.

MeSsrS Editors.


Messrs Editors.
Would it not he advisable for our
Howard Go. Agricultural Society, to
purchase 100 acres of land for o mod
el farm, Instead of 10 or 1G acres for
. Gair crounG; | tbink such course
Wooll be entirely practicabye and it
appears to nc that such course would
possess more advantages than disal-
vantages. A good pralr,e farm could
! lh&h!y be procured toIerabiy central
! " located, fornn amount which would
be within the reach Of the society this
present year, Oar fair ground could
be centrally located as to the farm,
AID, controlling the adjacent land
as the society would, the far ground
properly, would not require to be as
expcnsively fenced, and the grounds
when fenced, together with the other
improvements cUuid be made Of CON
slant use, and the farm could be i'm
proved; and under careful and practical
management it could be made sc!fsus-
tanning. By this course the ociety
would be enabled to keep Blooded Stock
and animals Of every variety and dcs-
cription, thereby bringing within the
reach Of every member Of the society,
the opportunity Of improving his farm
stock, which owing to our want Of
means and facilities not a single mem
Der. as at present situated, can do,
The net proceeds of such an ar
rangement could be all used for the sole
benefit Of the members, either being
paid as premiums, Or for pro uring
thorough blooded animals.
If thought necessary | think two
hundred farmers can be found who
would be willing to pay 10 dollars
each to constitute themselves or some
members OF their families life members.
Let Us hear your views upon this
subject as also the views Of any other
interested party and if thcnght to be
practicable or desirable it might be de-
sirable to call meeting of the Board
of Directors, if not of the Society to
discuss the subject.
] throw these suggestions out and If
considered TO be Of sufficient accoun: to
notice, they are at your service to be
trimmed or thrown under the table,
either Of which will suit.
A MEMBER Of the H. G. Az. Society,
Having beer absent when the above
communication was received and it
having been addressed to the Senior
Editor in person, accounts for it's not

From Knshinato,..

lcL B94 ~ 32W WASHINGTON, Jan. z.
In the Supreme Court of the United States
to-day, Justice Clifford delivered an opinion
in the case of appeal from the District Court
of Wisconsin, in which the Milwaukee and
Chicago Rompany were respondents 1t ap-
pears that certain mortgaged premises had
several times been offered for sale, but were
not. sold, and that the appellant claimed DOS
session on the ground that he was the highest
bidder; but the Supreme Court holds that
biddings at auction were offers, and that there
is no binding obligation until the consent of
both partiesis given. in other words there
must be mutual understanding to a definite
agreement, as the auctioneer may refuse to
strike of the property to the highest bider.
So bid can be withdrawn before the hammer
falls. The Court said that justice had been
done, and all the parties were satisfied but the
appellant, and that the decree of the District
Court is affirmed with costs.
? 1t has been enormously stated that the
French and United States governments have
arrived at an understanding with regard to
Mexican affairs. 1t is known, however, that
Macmillan has not met his pecuniary en-
gagements with Napoleon for keeping the
French troops in Mexico, and that the French
Emperor is not willing to support a military
force at his own expense.
Very few applications for pardon have been
received at the Attorney Generals office du-

Distressing Shipwreck and Extreme Suffer-
ing at Sea.

Intelligence was received in town to-day,
says the Boston Journal, of the loss of an
eastern vessel under circumstances of great
peril and suffering. The unfortunate vessel
was the brig Celia M. Carver, Captain Treat,
on the voyage from Georgetown, s. c., for
Searsport, Me. a'.'7 = PIX p -a8 "a
After leaving port she encountered tremen-
dous weather, through the effects of which
she became disabled and wholly unmanagable.
The crew were driven to an exposed part of
the wreck for safety, to which they chung for
life during nine weary days and nights, with
out morsel of food of any kind or water, sub
ject to the full force of the winds and waves.
During this time one of the men was bad
ly crushed against the timbers, from the effects
of which he died, and all the others were more
or less fost-bitten, the weather being extreme
ly cold Captain Treat was so badly frozen
that it is expected he will lose both hands,
The sufferings of all were of the most intense
Z character. After being exposed 50 long to
the elements and suffering under the pangs Of
starvation, they were reduced to the last ex-
tremity, and it is a matter of surprise that
any were left to tell the tale. They were fin
ally rescued, however, by. a passing vessel and
taken into Gloucester, Mass, where their
wants were supplied under the friendly care
of the people Of that town. a.
The Celia M. Carver was good vessel, OF
1877 tons, built at Bangor in 1850, and was
owned in Searsport. ge de 49,

On the seth ult., at 2 o'clock A. M, struck on
the outer shoals of Cape Lookout, and four
hours after the ship was full of water. Made
an effort to get her of, but was Unsuccessful.
After remaining on board the wreck until it
was thought she would goto pieces, the first
small boat was launched, which Immediately
filed and broke adrift. The crew at the same
time attempted to launch the other boats, but
they were stove by the sea. The ship was
breaking up very fast, and the only chance
now left was clinging to pieces of the wreck
or cotton bales. At4 A. NJ. on the 9th, the
whole side fell in with a large number of the

into the sea. The next sea carried away the

Appeal of Gen. Sweeney to the Fsnsans.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.
Gen. Sweeney has issued an appeal to the
Fenians not to waste their energies in intes-
tine strife, and says, "Let deeds, not words, be
your motto. Strike before it is too late and
the golden opportunity is lost. Our situation
is that of two armies whose chiefs cannot
agree upon time of operation. The vast ex
tent of the British dominions offers many vital
points, and as we cannot reconcile our views,
let each follow his chosen general, and attack
where his judgment tells him are the best
chances of success. Let this disgraceful SQUAD
bic cease at once On the field of battle we
will forget personal rancour and factional pre-
JUDGES, to remember only our country and
her wrongs. Out of our difficulties can see
put one way Of escape, it is to call in each State
: convention of delegates, from different cir
dence, and then, in silence, allow Col O'Ma-
honey and myself each to work out his re-
spectiye plan for the freedom of Ireland"
