~GaANEAA VI AAstF tAtAtts
The Grover and Baker Elastic Stitch sewing
Machines are superior all others for the follow
ing reasons
/. They sew direct from the spools, aad require
no reWinding of thread
2. They are mere easily understood and used
and less liable to arrangement than other ma
chimes
3. They are capable Of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, much greater
variety Of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is much
more frm, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed
than any other stitch
8. This stitch, owing to the manner in which
tho under thread is iDWrought is much the most
plump and beautiful in US, and retains this
plumpn,.ss and beauty even upon articles frequent
ly washed and roned until they are worn out.
6. Tie structure Of the seam is such that
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of only a
few stitches, it viii neither open, run, rayel,
but ren aims firm and durable.
7. U1iIke other machines, these fasten both
ends of the seam by their own operation.
S. With these machines, while silk is used upon
The right or face side Of the seam, cotton nay he
used upon the other side without Iessening the
strength or durability of tho seam. This can be
done on other machine, and is great saving
upon an articles stitched or made up with silk.
These machines in addition TO their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by change Of
adjustment, easily learned and pTacticed, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.

Procession of Negro Worshipers.

"Ioots," chief marshal of the nigger-
heads after circulating flaming hand bills
| TOR the last two weeks, and having the
drum corps to parade our streets early
this morning was totally unable to get any
thing like crowd together TO go to Me
chanicsburg, to hear that modern brain
less humbug John w. Geary The
entire procession formed in Third street
In front of the Garnet League-rooms A
friend from our door counted 7S persons,
we counted only y, including drum
corps, and all the boys and strappers con-
nected with the affair OF these, more
than three -fourths were from country
towns. s'Toots," looked bad, he had
been put to great expen sc and trouble,
and confidentially expected that the town
would turn out in its might. But, every
body knows that Geary is below par with
the republicans here. None but those
who swallow the negro whole, would turn
out, while dozens of true men of their
party repudiate the free suffrage candi-
date, and though free transportation, free
meals, and other inducements were offered
less than thirty men from Harrisburg
could be induced to join the procession.
1t is well known, that the speech of Geary
Gf a speech it can be called, at the Lo-
chiel Iron Works in which he boldly ad-
vocated FREE SUFFRAGE, NEGRO EQUALITY
&c, has disguised the people everywhere.
The ''hero" don't take in tkis vicinity.
They've heard Thad's whip in Congress
crack.
They've seen the niggers at his back,
He hates the White and loves the Black.
And that's what's the matter.
But don't you hear the White Man shout
Old Thad and Geary are played out,
And the great Fifteen have got the Go,a!
And that's What's The Matter"

FACTS IN NATURAL HIsroRY-The
rattle-snake finds a superior foe in the
deer and black snake. Whenever buck
discovers a rattle-snake in a situation
which invites attack, he loses no time in
preparing for battle. He makes up TO
within ten or twelve feet of the snake,
and leaps forward, and aims 10 sever the
body of the snake with its sharp bifurca-
ted hoofs. The first onset is most COM
monty successful; but, if otherwise, the
buck repeats the trial until he cuts the
snake in twain. The rapidity and fatali-
ty of his maneuvers leave but a slight
chance for its victim either to escape, or
to Inject his poison into his more alert an
tagonist The black-snake is also more
than an equal competitor against the rat
tle-snake Such is the celebrity of motion
not only in running, but in entwining
itself round its victim, that the rattle
snake has no way of escaping from its
fatal embrace. When the black and
rattle-snakes are about to meet for battle
the former darts forward at the height of
his speed, and strikes at the neck of the
latter with unerring certainty, leaving a
foot or two of the upper part of his body
at liberty. In an instant he encircles
him, within five or six folds; he then
stops and looks the strangled and gasping
foe in the face to ascertain the effect pro-
duced upon his corseted body. If he
show signs of life, the coils are multiplied
and the screws tightened-the operator
all the while narrowly watching the coun-
tenance of the helpless victim. Thus the
two remain thirty or forty minutcs-the
executioner then slackens one coil, no
ticing at the same time whether any signs
of life appear if so, the coil is resumed
until the incarcerated wretch is complete
ly dead. The moccasin-snake is de-
stroyed in the same way.

ABUSE OF THE SOLDIERS. .-Geary in a
recent speech at York, said that the SOL
diers who assembled at Harrisburg on the
first of August, were "Shysters and
Cowards, Skulkers and Hospital Bum
mers." To say the least of it, such
language was very unbecoming in one
who aspires to the dignified position of
Governor of Pennsylvania. But what
shall be said of man who applies such
epithets to the bravest of the brave,
siaply because they do not choose to cast
their votes for him7 For instance, take
the representatives of our own county in
that Convention. Who will dare to re-
peat what Geary has said, in regard to
Thos. Fl. Lyons, Lawrence Defibaugh,
Philip Huzsard, Jeremiah Thompson and
Philip Leonard? these men served from
the beginning of the war to its close, and
did their whole duty wherever their pres.
ence was required, whether in the ex-
hausting march, in the deadly breach, OF
amid the dangers and horrors of the field
of battle. Let the soldiers remember ho "
Geary has slandercd their comrades. -

DURING the past few years the Radicals
mcbbed, exiled, or massacred hundreds
of white freemen of the Republic who
claimed the right to exercise the liberty of
speech and the freedom of the press.
Then, at all times and under all possible
circumstances, as they do at present, the
Democracy disapproved of and denounced
all such revolutionary and criminal prac-
tices Now, when a great dread comes
over The Radicals. and they causelesslv
fear the goring of their own OK, they
agree with the Democrats that such things
are brutal, barbarious and infamous.

RADICAIISM EXPLoDING.-We call
attention to the infuriated resolutions
adopted by the Pennsylvania Radicals in
their Convention at Reading, on Wednes-
day. 'The man made President by J.
Wilkes Booth" is their decorous designa-
ton of the President of the United States,
and they speak of the Democratic party
in language equally dignifed and tasteful.
This brutal ferocity is excited because the
President adheres 10 the policy proclaimed
to the world by both houses of Congress
the first year of the war, founded on the
explicit language of the Constitution of
the United States, and cordially indorsed
by the most respected statesmen of the
country and the most brilliant soldiers of
the war. 1t is the policy Of General
Grant, as well as of President johnson,
which calls forth this torrent of indecent
virulence and vituperation. 1t has been
publicly sanctioned 10y eminent jurists like
Judge Curtis, who pronounced the ad-
mired dissenting opinion in the Dred
Scott case, and Thomas Ewing, the abIest
surviving contemporary of Webster and
Clay, to whose school of politics he be-
longed by accomplished scholar. and
statesmen, like Mr.. Winthrop and Will
liam G. Rives: by eminent citizens re-
markable for their moderation, good
judgment and great stake in the public
tranquility, like Hamilton Fish and Will
liam b. Astor and, though last not least,
by the distinguished generals who have
signed the call to the great Soldiers Con-
vention.
And it is men like these, who, together
with the President, are aspersed in such
blackguard language by such fellows as
John w. Forney and his malignant Radi
cal coufederates. " I. World.

A SHREwD EDITORIAL a Welsh
celebration in New York, DR.. Jones told
the following amusing anecdote
ssThe speaker said the editors were
like other shrewd men who have to live
with their eyes and ear open. He related
the story of an editor who started paper
in a new village in the West. The town
was infested with gamblers whose pre-
sence was source of annoyance to the
citizens. who told the editor that if he
did not come out against them they would
not patronize his paper. He replied that
he would give them 'smasher' next day.
Sure enough his next issue contained the
promised smasher.' On the following
morning the rcdoubtable editor, with scis-
sors in hand, was seated in his sanctum
cutting out news, when in walked a large
man with club in his hand, and demand
ed to know if the editor was in. No,
sir was the reply, she has stepped cut !;
take seat and read the papers he will
return in minute Down sat the indig-
nant man of cards, crossed his legs, with
his club between them, and commenced
reading a paper. In the meantime the
editor quietly vamoosed down stairs, and
at the landing below he met another ex-
cited man with cudgel in his hand, who
asked if the editor was in. Yes, sir,
was the prompt response. You will find
him seated up stairs reading a newspaper.
The latter on entering the room, with a
furious oath commenced violent assault,
upon the former, which was resisted with
equal ferocity. The fight was continued
until they both rolled to the foot of the
stairs, and pounded each other to theil
t hearts content"

A Rich SERMON is the man

A Rich SERMON Where is the man
with harp of thousand strings?
The following extract from sermon
will be recognized at a glance BY some
readers here at home. 1t loses much OF
humor, because we cannot put in the ap-
propriate gestures that accompany it:
''My friends, sin makes the purtiest
young man in the world uglyah. And
tell you how know-ah. l was coming
up to church to-day, when saw some
men in the road. ah, and though one of
them, the purtiest young man 1 ever saw
in my life-ah. And as drew nigh unto
a place they called taw, and they navel
ed-ah. And when he marveled, he jump
ed up and tapped his hands like rooster
does his wings and says, i wish L may
be id if hant iat-ah And oh, my
friends, then / thought that he was the
ugliest man / ever saw in my hfe-ah.
And / opened my mouth and spake unto
him thus: Says l, young man, this is
not the way to salvation
"And he saids Look here old hoss, if
you had been salvated as bad as l was,
you would not love to hear talk Of saliva
tion-ah.
''And now, my friends, if that young
man said he was fat he told lie, for he
was lean as that hungry-looking sister
over thar, that's always praying SO pious-
ly when the hat is being passed around
ah.
"And, my friends, if that young man
had not been blinded by sin, he never
could a mistuck me for an old hoss-ah."
