We would respectfully call the attention
of our readers to the card of Straw 4 Nor
ton, agents for the Singer Sewing Machine
and the wonderful Hinkley Knitting Ma
chine. The agency for these machines at
Pittsburg is the oldest in the United States,
having been established by Mr. Straw near
ly twenty years ago. The firm is recon-
menied as entirely reliable and anything
coming from their establishment may be re-
garded as the best. \ great advantage in
purchasing from thi. house is that they are
firmly established and repairs and parts of
machines can always be had.

A NARROW EsCAPE.-The following no
tice, relative to the narrow escape OF for
mer citizen of this place from death in a
vel, is taken from the Falls City Journal,
and will be peru sed with interest by many
of our readers
About half past SIX clock on Tuesday
evening, June Tth, Mr. a Southard went
down into Esquire Frank well for the pur-
pose OF getting bucket that had been in
the water for several days, and when down
about twenty feet the well fell in and buried
him. Two of Mr.. Frank family were low
ering him on the well bucket, and as soon
as the wall gaYe way, gave the alarm, and a
large crowd Of Peep lie were at the scene in a
few minutes. At this time there was little
hope of rescue, although his voice could be
distinctly heard from below. Judge Dundy
and j. q. Good were first to go into the
well for the relief of Mr.. S, and were, when
exhausted, relieved by others The ex
citemeut was great, as would be naturally
expected, but was greatly increased by the
presence of his wife and children, who could
hear his voice. without hope Of ever seeing
him alive. All present, were Of course,
beset by the most terrible appreheDsions
though his voice could be heard distinctly
urging the workmen 10 relieve him, still
the work went on, and about half past elev
en- the man was uncovered and drawn, as it
were, from the jaws of terrible death, and
restored to his family, having been in the
well about five hours. He declares that with
the exception Of few ugly bruises, he is
unhurt; and at the time of going to press is
doing finely Mr. Southland is a relative Of
Esquire Franks family, and lately arrived
at this place from Pennsylvania, and has
purchased dwelling in town with a view
to making it his permanent home"

NEW ORLEANs.--The Times Of
Tuesday says:
Yesterday was a scorcber. The
temperature from an early hour was
very close, and the powerful rays Of
old Sol caused many levee pedestrians
to seek a shady retreat. We noticed,
during the afternoon, several light
rain clouds lowering over the city,
one of which let fall some huge drops,
which was not noticeable as they dried
up socn after falling. We hope, for
the express purpose OF laying the dust,
that a couple of heavy showers may
fall 10 day, as they are greatly needed.
Business on the landing yesterday
was about the dullest we have yet
witnessed this season. The levee is
pretty we'll cleared of freight, aud but
few boats at either wharf, and but few
of them are doing any business.
