1.-The simplicity aud accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches, to Which many 9TH
or machines are liable and which has hitherto
brought the ''chain stitch into disrcpuic. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy ofits
movements ard the entire absence of all noise,
even when running ut the rate Of 1000 stitches

II great recommendation to il. Another merit is
the good workmanship. The parts are made in

sil Of Cencors in the f5lling irreverent fashion.
Vermont has one luxury, which. We believe, Is
enioyd by no other Staie-a sort Of perpetual
motion, known Council OF Censors IL Is
a body Of thirteen men chosen periodically, whose
duty it is 70 see that the fundamental law of the
State is enforced, and 70 recommend such amend
ments to the constitution they may deem nee
essary. In pas: years their duties have been
small, and their recommendations unheeded, and
the office has gradually fallen into contempt.
But the Office was a creation Of the constitution.
and a. the councillors would not recommend Its
discontinuance, there seemed TO be no way OF
reaching them, and SO, ike useless machine,
the council has been kept running because there
was no rower OF stopping it. This IS the year
for electing a new council, and, an inventive
genius has made discovery which IS likely TO
enable the people get rid Of this useless body.
Acting on his suggestion, ticket has been nom
mated composed Of men pledged to recommend
a change Of the constitution abolishiDg the
council. and the State IS likely to get the benefit
Of the first really useful work Of that body, and
to enjoy the unusual spectacle Of nuisence aha
