Lexington Presbytery convened in the Presby-

ever, participated in the proceedings of relig-

mind and heart. They regretted that any of the
Sabbath School workers of the Presbytery were
absent, and felt that the absent lost an opportu-

The Season and its Dangers.


The human body is chiefly composed oftissues
and fbres as sensitive to every change in the
condition of the atmosphere as the most delicate
electrofneter, o. the quicksilver in a barometer
tube.
The stomach, the skin. the nerves, the lungs,
and excretory organs are especially liable to be
affected by these variations, and the best defence
against their disastrous tendencyis to keep the
digestive machinery, which feeds and nourishes
the whole system, in good working order.
1.-THE stomach is weak or disordered neither
the blood nor bile can be in healthy state. and
upon the fitness of these two important fluids for
offices assigned to them by nature, and the reg
ularity of their flow, health in a great measure
depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors it often is this season fthe year. the
digestion should be an object of peculiar care
If is weak and languid, the whole physical
structure will be enervated If it is vigorous, the
entire organization will be strong to resist the
untoward and depressing influence of damp
and vitiated atmosphere
A pure and powerful tonic is therefore espe-
cally needed as safe guatd against the diseases
most common in the spring, ard Hostetter' $ Stom'
ach Bitters being the most wholesome and potent
of the class at present known, course of it IS
particularly advisable at this period Of the year.
The stomach viii thereby be toned and strength
ened, the liver and bowels regulated the ner-
| vous system braced up, and nature put in state
of active defence against the miasma which SUI
perinduces intermittent and remittent fevers,
rheumatisms, nervous debility, HEADACHE, hypo-
condria and other complaints which are apt to
assail the untoned and uniortifed organizations.
The body is strengthened without exciting the
brain, and consequently no unpleasant reaction
follows its reyiving and renoyating operations.

ys1he great Sewing Machine Contest,

y
Il Please read the following Editorial, clipped
rom the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist of
Nov. 18th 1869:
One of the most interesting, exciting and i'm
pOrtant trials for superiority between Sewing Ma
chimes which it has ever been our privilege to
witness terminated with the grand exhibition at
the Maryland Institute, in this city, on Wednes-
day evening last, 10th inst, aftera contest over
four weeks duration.
The prize was gold medal. There were COM
peting the Weed" wheeler and Wilson,"
and Howe" three of the acknowledged leading
Sewing Machines of the age The result of such
trials has not always proven that 1.-THE race is
to the swift the battle to the strong" butt this
instance it must be admitted that equal and exact
Justice was melted out, and the verdict was most
satisfactory to the masses no have from time to
time watched the progress of the trial. Each
machine had its admirers who crowded about
their particular favorite, watching with intense
anxiety and interest the course of the flying nee-
dies through the tremendous tests to which they
were subjected, and which it seemed actually
impossible for any of them to accomplish. The
WEED" however, was the only one that sue
ceeded in stitching upon, every thing from thirty
thickness of muslin to the finest lace, through
leather and boards of nearly one quarter ofan inch
in thickness, thus demonstrating beyond dispute
the power gifts unerrng straight needle, and its
ability to resist without arrangement the coarser,
heavier grades; while from heavy glazed cotton
and linen thread it passed Immediately TO No. 200
cotton with the same needle and tension in the
same machine, exhibiting most miraculous
nicely of adjustment upon some of the irailest
fabrics that we ever saw executed upon Sewing
Machine.
The committee were an able, discreet and inn
partial body of ladies and gentlemen, whom no
fear of favor could influence, and who were un-
known to ali the contestants until the final day
of trial The result and award was as follows ::

Fire Alarms.

Last week was marked by an unl Snai NUMBER
of fire alarms. On Tuesday night the sta' an
alarm was given early in the night. Thus was
caused by the burning out of chimney on Main
Street. in the house occupied by Mr.. Heller.
At / o'clock A. NJ, Of the same night, the cit-
zens were aroused with the startling cry of fire
fre!! This was caused by the burning of a small
frame tenement in Spring Lane. near the Foun-
dry of Parkins, Nelson 6 Co, being the property
of Mr. J. I. A Trotter As this tenement had
not been occupied for several weeks, it is sur
missed that the burning was the work of an in
cendiary. This building WAS destroyed; but the
Fire Company prevented the fire from extending
to other buildings near.
At this alarm, Mr.. Reagan turned down the
lamp on the counter of his bar-room opposite the
Va. Hotel, and hurriedly repaired to the burning
tenement on Spring Lane Whilst he was absent,
the lamp burst and the OIL which ran over the
counter burned freely, and the flame mounted to
the ceiling. Fortunately, Mr.. S. Mandelbaum
saw from the brilliant light that the room was on
fire. so, not standing upon the order of his going.
but going at once, ran to the room, forced the
door open, took off his coat, and with it succeed
ed in extinguishing the flames. His coat was
sacrificed, being burnt up. Even the clothes he
retained on his person caught fire. and he was
himself in danger Of being consumed. He lost
his coat, saved his own life, and saved Mr.. Rea-
CAMS property from destruction. He deserves
great credit and we have no doubt that Mr.. Rea-
gan feels duly grateful to him. The destruction
of the whole building was rendered imminent,
ass the room on FIRE contained quite a number Of
barrels of spirits.
at IL o'clock on Thursday night, the startling
# 'frer' was again heard. This was caused
cry tarnlng on New Street-in the rear of the
~ ''i0 -upied by Mr. Miller as a boarding
carriage house, the property of DIR.

pany had a stream of water playing upon the
burning stable which soon subdued the aFe SUI
ficiently to render the valuable buildings near
perfectly SAFE The members of the Fire <jom-
pany deserve great credit for their promptn ess
and efficiency.
We would again call the attention of the pro-
perty-holders OF the town to the fact that they
should provide the Fire Company with the equip
ments they so much need. The Fire Company
cannot be expected to save valuable property, IN
case of a destruction fire, unless they be provid-
ed with the necessary equipments. They need
better engine. hooks, ladders sc. Provide them
for this company and save your property.
