MAGNIFICENT CHRISTMAS OR New

MAGNIFICENT CHRISTMAS OR NEW
VARS GIYT.-As the season is approach
ing for gentlemen to select presents for
those in whom they feel sufficient interest
to compliment in this appropriate way,
we take the liberty to-day Of making a
suggestion. The suggestion is, TO give
the Grorer & Baker Sewing-M Machine the
preference over all other articles, either OF
fancy or utility. Our reasons for giving
this preference TO the Grover x Baker
Machine are more numerous than we have
space this morning 10 express. In the
FIRST place, it is more ornate, as an article
Of furniture. than any other machine IN
use; then again, It is the only machine
ex,ant which every intelligent lady can
operate from the start without a tedious
course OF instruction ; the stitch for which
it is celebrated is the strongest, most neat
looking, and durable; it is operated with
such a degree Of ease that we have, our
selves. seen q little child Of four years run
i. on hsary seeing for hours without any
apparent labor; it is the only machine in
the world that executes fine Embroidery;
and, if there was any other proof needed
10 place the Grover s Baker instrument
in advance Of all others, we surely have It
in the fact, that from the commencement
of its existence to the present time, 1t has,
without one single exception, taken the
highest premium wherever It has been eS-
hi6i,ed publicly for competition.-PhiIa-

BLIND Boy RESTORED TO SIoHT.-Dr.
E. H. Pardee, the occulist at San Fran
cisco, recently performed an operation on
a boy aged IL years, for congenital catar-
act. The operation was entirely success
full, and the boy, who had been blind from
his birth, was given vision. The Cal, in
chronicling the success Of the operation
concludes as follows:
did our space permit, we would give
our readers an account Of the child's &C
tons since. he obtained vision. How he
is continually asking the name Of every
| thing he beholds; and how he reaches for
and endeavors to lay his hands upon az
ticles that he sees, without any idea OF the
distance they are from him. When we
saw the boy, a few days ago, we asked
him to shake hands with US /; he extended
his little hand, and made several ineffect-
ual grasps before he could take hold oil
our hand. We then carried a little dog
he was playing with to the further end oil
the room and told him to take hold OF 1t,
when he began reaching for it; we then
held a knife within three inches Of his
ewes, and, when he reached for it, he put
his hands far beyond the object. 1t will
REQUIRE several months for him to familiar
ize himself with distance, yet that is a fact
made apparent to any one who will place
their hand over one Of their eyes and en-.
deavor to pick up a pin stuck in a table

S Edward B. Ketcbum, the forger,
was sentenced, on SATURDAY, in New York
by Recorder Hsfinan, to four years and
six months Imprisonment in the State pris-
on. A strong party of influential friends
have already gone to Albany to solicit
pardon, and it is whispered that the new
year will net be very old before Edward is
himself again. The Albany Argus says
that Horace Greeley, George Opdyke. Da
vid Dudley Field, and William E. Dodge,
were in the city few days since, to urge
upon Governor Fenton the pardon of young
Ketchum. They were fortified by letters
from Chief Justice Chase and others prom
inent in national politics. After this it will
be no wonder if great crimes should rapid
ly increase and small ones decrease. Ro-
CUES will net now so much endeavor to es-
cape detection and tlial as to avoid steal
ing in small quantities. Ifthey can steal
big, it will be all right-sympathy-good
family = respectability-high thoughts

thieves! Stealing little is vulgar, but zap
propriating" half million or million is
grand! Shoddy has digniied that with a

the Recorder has ciphered out the degree
of punishment Precisely four years and
six months
