MARKABLE SUCoEss,--The Sixth Vol.
ume Of this excellent and most success.
full Weekly commences Jan LIST, next
The paper has met a remarkable success,
but not more than its real merits de.
serve. We heartily endorse the opinion
Of the Western press generally hat it is
Of more value to the West than any
Eastern journal can be, for obvious rea
sons, and Western farmers should sub.
scribe for it in preference to Eastern
papers,
The Western Rural is a large eight
page, illustrated paper, devoted mainly
to Rdral Affairs, but gives also a great
variety of the most interesting Family
reading, original and selected stories, etc.
and has q "Childrcn's Corner" full Of
nice things for the little ones, a valuable
department Of Domestic Economy. etc,
The market reports are made a special
feature.
With the view Of doubling his present
list and securing $4,000 subscribers for
1858, the publisher is offering the mos,
liberal list of premiums, in many
respects, VIC have seen, having already
given away over $4,000 worth of Sew
ing Machines alone, the present year.
For only twenty-five subscribers at the
single rate (s2 80 per year,, a choice il

or a Lamb Knitting Machine, and over
a score Of other desirable articles are
offered for clubs of various sizes.
The plan of the paper is somewhat
novel, two editions being published-one
for Chicago and one for Detroit, each
distinct in its character, one adapted to
the West generally, the other more par.
ticularly for Michigan. This arrange
ment confers double advantages, sub.
stantially combining the resources of two
papers in one, in the benefit of which
every subscriber participates.
Subscription rates So SO per year
$500 in clubs of Four and upward. BY
subscribing at once, the remaining mum.

TIL true value of Machinery applied TO
Matchmaking is no. that by its use Watches
are made rapidly, but that they ara made
correctly. Very few people know why the
Waltham Wetch should be super or 10 any
other. In the first place, al waltham the
Watch is regarded as only a machine, to be
constructed like any other machine, on me-
chanical principles. If the watches are
good, it is because the machinery is good.
Of course there must be no defect in the
principle or plan OF the NOV ement-no mis-
take in the size or shapes Of the pieces of
viii. h it is composed nothing wanting in
their properties. and no error in their posi-,
tons. These points once tn ~ofoughly settled
it rests wholly with the machinery, con-
structed with infinite diversity Of form and
function expressly fer the purpose, so pro-
duce the finished pieces. By means multi
plying guages and microscopes. tests aud
inspection for the detection Of wear in the
cutting tools, and for faults and flaws in
steel or stone are made to accompany the
work in every stage from beginning to end.
AS q necessary result, the watch goes to-
gether q perfect machine. Every part is
found to fit properly In its place. Every pin
may be pushed till it pinches, and every
screw turned home. Instead Of q sluggish
and FEEBLE action, the balance, even under
the pressure of the lightest handspring vi
bra co with a wide and free motion, and tn,
beat has the clear ringing sound alwayl
characteristic of the Waltham Watch. III,
machine is a timekeeper from the start. i
This system of Matchmaking is unknown
in foreign countries, and is entirely original
with the Waltham Company. The Company
claim that by it they produce watche s that
cannot be equalled for every quality which
makes a watch valuable. Simple in plan and
correct in principle, the movement is net on.

A BROTHER SHOOTS HIS SISTER FOR
LEADING A BAD LrFE.-The Philadelphia
Euening Bulletin of December 9th has
the annexed
About half-yast seven o'clock last
night, as officer Blee was walking his
beat in the vicinity of Pine and Juniper
streets, he heard the report of q pistol.
He instantly rushed to the spot from
whence the firing proceeded, and as he
came near he heard some one open a
window and call out ''Murder, murderl'
He went into the place, No. 1923 Juniper
street, from whence the cries were
heard, and rushing into the parlor, he
found a young man standing in the mid
die of the floor with a large horse-pistol
in his hand, still smoking from the dis
charge. At his feet, all bleeding and
senseless, lay q young woman about
twenty-five years old. Officer Blee
raised her up, and found that the load
from the pistol, consisting of No. 2 duck
shot, had taken effect in her head, arm
and breast, inficting severe YET not
dangerous wounds. The mans name
was Patterson. He refused at first to
give up the pistol when demanded, but
it was taken from him. an..
The story of the prisoner Is mainly as
follows: He resides at No. 1902 Jeffer-
son street, with his father and step
mother. The young woman whom he
had shot was his sister, and had been
leading a bad life for some time past,
according to some accounts. She was
a fine looking, rather handsome girl,
with q clear complexion and large, full
eyes. He said that the day before yes
terday he had gone to see her at No. 323
Juniper street, and had attempted to
reason her out Of her wicked course of
life, and told her that he would pay her
board at any respectable clearinghouse
and to leave her course Of life for own
sake and for his and her relatives. She
refused, and said she preferred to live
as she had been doing. He then went
away, and yesterday he borrowed the
borse-pistol, and going to the house
where she was stopping last night he
again begged of her to leave the house.
He then said he would rather see her
dead than see her as she was, and fred
full at her, intending to take her life.
When taken to the Fifth District sta
tion-house he told Lieutenant Connolly
that he was glad he had not killed his
sister, but that he hoped she would not
get welr enough to get out before she
had time to repent of her bad conduct.
The prisoner Is q quiet, inofensive man,
and deeply feels his position.
