The Singer Manufacturing Co.,
and its New Family Sew.
ing Machines,

For the year ending June /, 1860,
there were produced in the United
States l10 $50 sewing machines, For
the year ending June /, 1867 the num-
ber was increased to 170,105 and this
notwithstanding the depressing effect
ofthe war. The current year will prob
ably show not much less than a quar-.
ter of a million. Among the various
manufacturing firms and companies
THE SINGER MANUFACTURING
COMPANY, the main works of which
have been recently located at South
Bend, takes the lead by a very large
percentage. For the year ending June
i, 1867, this company turned ont For
ty-tlrec thousand and .ffB-three Of their
universal machines This number is
greatly increased for the current year,
and the magnificent facilities offered at
South Bend will enable the company to
compete more successfully than ever
with rival concerns aud its business
will soon become altogether enormous.
There is scarcel y limit to the enter
prise and success of men who possess
the sagacity aud forecast of the mana
gers of this world-renowned company.
A recent issue of the Home Journal says:
"About year ago, as our readers
will remember, we published series
of articles descriptive of some of the
great manufacturing interests in this
country. We then selected and de-
scribed the immense establishment of
the Singer Manufacturing Company, as
the representative and leading concern
in the department of sewing machines,
and we are now pleased to find that
we did not in the least exaggerate or
over estimate the importance of the
company in question, 1t is notewor-
ty and somewhat suggestive that the
Singer Company, who did not, as we
understand, take the trouble of visiting,
or even of sending their machines to
the Paris Exposition-who seemingly
do not care in the least, for either gold
medals or red ribbons, and whose
name is rarely seen in print-should,
nevertheless, eclipse all other sewing
machine concerns in the magnitude of
their business. There is, of course,
reason for all this, but we leave our
readers to find that out for themselves"
We have elsewhere spoken of the
works Of this company at South Bend.
No doubt in it we have an acquisition
of great Importance to our city, and
one which may we'll be taken as an in
dex of our progress for 1868. If the
Singer Machine has rivals it certainly
has none here. It's a household favor
ite aud household blessing. 1t has
already done more towards the eman.
cipation of the white women of the
north, than four years war did for the
emancipation of the black slaves of the
south. Its triumphs are those ofpeacc.

We very we'll remember the state OF things In
1855. Repub leanlsm and 'rndlcallsm" were
hunted down by Oliver Wood and such as he,
who are always In the front rank Of those ready
to crave the crumbs that fall from the vlctOr's
table. We remember, also, that we labored In
season and out OF season to bring into notice q
few candidates on this despsed ticket. We
fought for them none the less because of the
smallness Of the humber of adherents, because
We knew we were right and that right would
eventually prevail But what do we now see

old ticket was theswlteSt illness to testify that

Our experience has been much like that of Mr..
Drake. After making some men all they arc,
they have been the lrst to turn upon u.s. when
they thought they could crush us out; but we
have had tho sweet privilege of grin ding one Or
two such ungrateful scoundrels to powder, SO
far as their subsequent aspirations for Office were
concerned Let Mr. Drake walt and watch.

TO the Aouh Amyicon, proposes %
Consider The construction Of one grand
trunk road from Portland, in Maine,
to Chicago, aud thence westwardly
to the Pacific coast As that journal
understands the call, which is signed
by many Governors, mayors, presi-
dents OF boards OF trade and OF rail
rad companies, the design is to effect
an Immediate consolidation OF the ex.
sting roads, so far as is practicable, and
their extension For The present this
consolidated road will work in connec-
ton With the Union Pacific at its wcs-
tern extremity. AT the east il will
be placed in concert with existing
roads TO New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia. The route is by Portland by
Lake Winnepcsaukee, Woodstock and
Rutland, TO the head Of Lake Cham
plain, thence across the mountains Of
Northern New York TO Oswego,
and by the most desirable route along
the lake shore of Niagara, Buffalo,
Detroit and Chicago. The proposed
object is to furnish the shortest, cheap
est and most capacious transportation
line between the great upper basin
and the eastern seaboard, 10 connec-
ton with Pacific transportation and
business. The Northern Pacific road
running west from the lakes on nearly
the same parallel, will, when built,

A female wretch, Nancy MADAM by
name, a murderer, whose arms were
dripped with blood, smeared to the
elbow, Massachusetts, woman, has
been saved from the gallows by the
Governor Of that State, and perhaps
again fuses with the reform party;
good woman's rights subject, and
sample brick of New England morals.
Nancy has been lucky, and she is now
read for another murder. Butwhere
was Massachusetts, humanity when
the poor creature, Mrs. Surratt, cried
out not for mercy, fer she was inno-
cent, but for justiee-common Justice?
"Hang her hang her. Give her no
opportunity to show her innocence
We want victims We thirst for
blood Our god, Lincoln, has been
slain. Let us sacrifice this woman in
revenge for bis death :" was heard all
over New England Mrs. Surrat was
basely, inhumanly, murdered; and
calls for her execution came long and
loud from this same State Of Massa-
chusetts, and not a wolf among the
whole pack howled louder than Gov
ernor Clafin, who has now dared to
mock justice and ofCer a premium for
more foul murders by allowing this
wretch to escape the penalty of her
crime. We DO not so much protest
against the pardon Of this woman as
we desire 10 condemn the false senti-
ment on the part Of New England,
which today refuses TO punish the
guilty, while yesterday these very
people clamored for the legal murder
Of an innocent woman.-N Y. Day
