OF INTEREST TO EVERYBODY
Since the advent of the Star Shuttle
Sewing Machine in the market,
about one year ago, the manufac-
turers have sold about fifteen thou
sand. and such unprecedented testi-
monials Of their intrinsic worth has
prompted them to enlarge the ma
chine, and otherwise improve it, that
now the Star Shuttle Sewing Machine
stands without rival. Mr.. Wilson
deserves great credit for assuming the
responsibility in putting Lock Stitch
Shuttle Sewing Machine in the mar
ket at such very low price, in direct
competition with all the frst-class
and high priced machines.

ers, evincing an interest in the school
that is wen calculated to encourage
them in their labors.
The German Sclasses have been
warmly commended for the rapid
progress made during the present
session, and the excellent proficiency
manifested in their studies The
English classes also acquitted them
selves with great credit. On Wednes-
day the first Grammar class was thor
oughly examined, AID at great length,
and bore the ordeal without single
failure The classes In Arithmetic
and Geography, which we heard yes
terday, acquitted themselves most
happily, some of the little boys and
girls solving very difficult and intri-
cate problems with wonderful celebrity
and accuracy, and answered the ques-
tions and gave the definitions in Geog-
raphy with much readiness and with
almost unerring correctness. Two or
three of the little girls gave speci-
mems of reading, which were very
beautiful, and elected the warmest
praise. In penmanship many of the
scholars have made great progress,
both in English and German, and
many write exceedingly well. We
notice that several of our citizens,
not Hebrews, are sending their chill
dren to this school, and the teachers
inform US that they are making extra
ordinary progress in the requirement
of the German language. Professors
Hecht & Knight enjoy an enviab bic
reputation as instructors, and the
Hebrew school is one of the orna-
ments of the city, a jewe! of which
our Hebrew fellow citizens may well
be proud. The examination will be
closed to-day at noon.
We cannot close without com
mending the zeal, energy and indus
try of Mr.. John Vile, the indefati-
gable Superintendent, who devotes
much of his time to the interests of
the school without remuneration a

CARRYING (oFF) Too Much Ii!
oUoR-Y yesterday afternoon, a man,
whose name we failed to. ascertains
discovered keg of liquor1whether
whisky or brandy our informant did
not know-standing under the desk
in the warehouse of F. M. Hum
phreys on Water Street, below Syea-
more, Seeing no one about, he1con7
Guided it was fair game, and, slipping
it into a sack, flung it over his shout
der and slipped of. Tom. Nunp,
however, observed the proceeding,
and informed John Young,an attaches
of --the---house. Who-.immediately
started in pursuit. He caught a
glimpse of the fugacious thief as he
turned the corner of Sycamore into
First Street. The man took the key
TO the saloon Of Philip Hit, at Mo
Fart Hall, and left it there, saying he
had bought it and wanted to leave it
there, and then retired before Young
arrived. The pursuit was continued,
and the rapacious fellow was caught
on Water Street, and fullyrecognized
by Num- & Hit, and he was turned
over to the police who lodged him in
the city Lookup. He is not the first
man who has got himself into trouble
by carrying too much liquor.

STEAMBOAT AocIDENTs.-Another
crippled steamboat arrived at our
wharf yesterday-the Empire-having
broken a wrist and knocked out one
headfof her larboard cylinder, She
wisely concluded to repair here, as our
maehinists are getting famous for
their superior skill. She will be all
right by Monday. The frequency of
steamboat accidents, this season is
somewhat singular, but, fortunately,
but few lives have been lost on the
Western waters. Such accidents are
especially unfortunate just now, as
steamboats, find it difficult to make
money enough to meet their ordinary
expenses. hes

ARCHBISHOP OD1N IN THE COUNTRY
From the Lafayette Adrertiser, published
in Vermillionville, parish of Lafayette, we
gather the following particulars regarding
the movements of our Most Reverend Arch
bishops:
1t is soothing-nay, more than that-it is
strengthening to man in all his failings, espe-
cially to the Christian in the hours of trial
and suffering, to hearken to the wise and IA
therly teachings Of the mitred prelate of the
Church. Last Saturday our little and modest
burg was favored with the visit of the MostRev
Archbishop Odin. His expected arrival was
marked with countless calls and that deep and
universal Vencration to which virtue, personal
and religious worth entitle the pastor of a
church.
The next morning, Sunday. the faithful ga
thered to church to hear the voice of him who
wields the kind sceptre of truth and virtue
The building was densely crowded, and DESPITE
the intense and almost sutfocating heat of the
day, the grandeur of the ceremonies of the mo-
ther church, and the heartfelt and fatherly
teachings of the worthy primate, were but re-
freshing and vivifying to the hearts of all On
that day not less than one hundred and fifty
persons received the sacrament of confirmation
at the hands of the most esteemed prelate-
He left us on Monday morning, to the regret
OF all, and bearing with him the BLESSINGS of
the whole community.
