TIE CHURCH at Cherry Hill is now

undergoing repairs. The whole cdiGcc is
being re painted, including the inside walls

been vel! oiled to prevent the rains from
beating through, which has been the case
heretofore. This will add much to the APP

a SEVERE Observation-Disclosures the

n SEVERE Among the
proceedings the New Castle County Court,
on Monday last, we find the following. Lut-
ten formerly lived at or near Fair Hill, in
this county, and after having committed
those crimes, fled to that ncighborhood, and
was arrested there:
Joshua Lutten was charged with having
stolen clothing, the property of John A.
Armour L. S. currency and other money.
the property Of Thomas jackson; and a
pocket book containing money, the property
OF Samuel II. Armour. on the lst Of Octo-
ber He was arralgned and plead guilty to
each Of the indictments.
The Chief Justice sentenced him for the
first offence to pay to =. IL. Armour $G2.30
as restitution money: to pay the costs OF
prosecution; on Saturday next, Ito day. be-
tween the hours of 10 A. VI. and p. NJ. to
be whipped Is luShcS; to be imprisoned four
months, and at the expiration of his sentence
to wear convict jacket for six months
In the second case the sentence was the
same, except that he has to pay restitution
money to Thomas jackson, amounting to
81. In the next case also the sentence is
the same, except that he has to pay $50 res
stitution money to John \. Armour. The
whole sentence amounts to this: that he
pays the costs Of prosecution, sl1G3O res
tuition money, receives to-day IS lashcs, is
imprisoned one year, and wears n convict s
JACKIE for six months after his discharge.
The Local NEWSPAPER. The Toms River
CoWier, in the following paragraph, hits a
class Of persons pretty hard, who reside in
Cecil county;
"'i'he greatest bug bear we have met with,
is the complaint that they already take so
many city papers, taat they cannot afford to
take their tocaL pnper thus, by withholding
their patronage from their local paper, they
force it to anguish and die, while they utter
mournful bowls that their local paper is not
good for anything! Now, we conceive it to
be the duty Of every man to support his To-
cal paper frSt and then carry his patronage
wherever he pIcascs. Men who will not sup
port their local paper, are not apt to be very
high mInded-lhcy 60 upon the principle
that "darknesS is better than light" and

THE MODEL SEWING MACHINE.


Prominent among the mechanical triumphs Of this
most ingenious age, common honesty compels Us to no
tice the Empire Sewing Machine, commended as justly
strley perfection itself Useful as have been the va
rious sewing machines, from time to time presented
to the public, each one OF them has been cursed with
some radio lCefect, which detractS from general util-
ity. Warned by the experience Of his predecessors,
the inventor Of the Erie Machine has produced an in
strument, combining all the advantages for which
others are Wanted, and Obviating every defect which
can be attributed to them By the most f~astidiOus critic.
The Empire Machine is a marvellous combination Of
simplicity, economy and perfect ~workship, being dura-
Bile, free from liability to get out Of order, ~noiSeless
and easy Of operation. Its mechanical cOntrivance is
such as to secure stability, freedom from accidents and
accuracy as to W rkmanship. By the use Of the pat
ented shuttle and straight needle it makes q stitch,
which can neither rip nor ravel while, at the same
time, it can operate perfectly upon every species OF
material from leather to cambrick, with threaps OF cot
ton, linen or silk from the finest to the coarsest num-
Der.
As the Empire Machine is gradually supplsnting Its
more antique rivals no one Ia want OF > usefsI ipstr1-
ment Of this description, be he or she tailor, eosehSna-
Ike, dressmaker or seamstresS, can do Othsrwfsl thai
secure one Of these ecOnmical and inimitable maOhines
suited alike for family and manufacturing purposes
The Office Of the Empire Manufacturing Co. is at No.
536 Broadway, New York City, where they are nov
supplying these Empire Machines at prices far below
the real value OF the instruments. York Herald
