VX7OMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE,-isa
w saying of the past. Woman work
or at least that portion of it most dreaded and
continual-her sewing-is now speedily and
beautifully done by the aid of the Grover & Baker
Sewing Machine, which, while it lessons the Ia:
Dor, adds to the excellence of the sewing by lis
trength, elasticity and durability ofits work.
A CHILD CAN OPERATE A
GROVER b BAKER SEWING MACHINE.
1t sews from two common spools, makes a
stitch stronger than that made by hand, and Its
simplicity is marvellous in comparison to its
capacity.
HEALTH, TINE AND MONEY
ARE ECONOMIZED
by the use of a Grover Il Baker Sewing Machine
They are unlimited in their capacity, and uDer
celled in their excellence. The merit of embroid
ering-which these machines alone possess, and
which style of trimming is now SO popular
renders them par excellence, the most desirable OF
anyin use.

Correspondence Of ns iMddletown Tyanscript.


A few evenings since as the train was about
leaving New Castle, a fashionably dressed col
ored woman entered the car and observed seat
occupied BY but one individual, Mr.. H.,
who is member of the Delaware Bar and U, s.
Radical Official. Now it SO happened that he
was sitting in side-wise position, with his legs
stretched out in such manner that no other
person could take the seat. Says the colored
lady. ''Pll take this seat, SIR" "This seat is
reserved for Judge -" says Rad "Pn
take this seat, sir" No reply. "I,ll take this
seat, SIR" Still no reply. The scene was be-
coming interesting. "lll take this seat, sir :"
Al this juncture a prominent member of the Bar,
fond OF joke, and despising hypocrisy and back
ing out from principle, came in and seeing at a
glance the situation, said, "take seat young
woman" would" says she, "but this man
won't move" " Set over Mr.. H." "by
zounds, like to see man live up 10 his prci-
pies" Set over, set over" Mr.. IL was
0ery white and shaky in his nerves, the whole
carload in a loud laugh, and the equality politi-
clan in an unenviable position. At this point
large black woman in the rear end of the car,
sung out at the top of her voice. "Oh, .come
back here and take a seat among civilized folks
The fact that the forward part of the car was
occupied by the Judges of our Court and all the
members of the Bar, gives the scene greater sig
nihcance. Perhaps this would not have hap
pened two weeks before the election, as our bash
full friend was then going strong for Equality
before the law" H.

MIDDLETowN TRANscRIPT -Mr Townsend,s let
ter OF Nov. 2lst 1870, in the Transcript, speaking
OF the Marshals at Backbird, election day, saws
the Census Marshal here has since the election
told who sent the nine men here. By Census
Marshal here, the alluson must be to myself,
1t seems he would like to mislead the public into
the belief that was acquainted with the facts in
the case. There was much conjecture and many
reports about where the men were from. One re-
port said they were Baltimore Rowdies another
thatthey were Wilmington Rowdies, and another
that they were Gregory's men of Philadelphia
and another that they were Schuykill Rangers.
and still another that they were Convicts from
hoyamensing Prison, Philadelphia. Upon these
wild rumors ahoat, he has endeavored 10 point
public scorn at me- by which he hopes to crush
an humble individual to please bis own personal
luminosity, which he has entertained against me
for two years, which is as unjust as his kinqly
spirit is tyranical. have had no conversation
with him for two years; he never heard me saw
one word about the matter, and he had no right
to make such illusions. | did not know that
strange marshals were TO be at Blackbird. did
not request or council their coming. have no
certain knowledge who sent them, where thew
came from, or how they were armed. desire
no controversy over the matter, but feel it duty
to correct publication unjustly aimed.

THs DEL.w.nr wH1ppIse posr.-ou

The Delaware WHIPPIsG Posr Our
neighbors. in Maryland, have the Peni-
tentisry system Tor the punishment of
criminals, aud an expensive system it is,
costing the State large sum of money
for the sustenance of the conyicts who
continually crowd to overaowing that in
stitutioa. ''Pstuxent Planter" an in
telligcnt contributor to the Prince Georg-
SIN, thus endorses Delaware's peculiar in
stituticn, as preferable to Maryland's more
expensive penitentiary system:
An enormous amount of taxes would be saw
ed If our politicians would adopt the Delaware
system. Give magistrates jurisdiction over ali
ping post, instead of sending the delinquent to
that hot-bed of vice. the pcnitentiary, only to be
srhooied into the higher branches of the nsfa-
rious arts. A turky or a bushel of wheat stolen
costs the county SlO0 at least, and the county
loses the labor of that man forever; whereas,
In Delaware II would cost nothing; he, upon
conviction, would get whipping, and pay the
costs and return to his work.
'' Patuxent Planter" falls into the error
of suppo.ing that magistrates have juris.
diction in such cases. and that they ." cos,
s nothing The magistrate can only com.
init for trial at Court, aud trial costs a.
much in Delaware as in Maryland. Th,
difference in favor of Delaware 10, thai
after conviction, tho culprit is fogged ant
discharged. unless confinement in tn,
county Jail is part of the sentence which
is 80 in fragrant cases. The Maryland
system consigns convicts to years of i'm
prisonment. and the support of the Peni
tentiary is heavy charge upon the State
Both Maryland and Delaware would pro
6t by adopting the suggestion of g Patux
snt Planter" and comforting upon magis
trates jurisdiction in such cases. Case
of ordinary assault and battery ought als'
to be settled before magistrates. as tn,
taxpayers would thus be saved an i'm
mensc outlay for the prosecution Of small
offences in the Courts. Many winesse
are often summoned in trivial cases an,
dragged away from their business an,
families for days together, to the count
seat, when such cases might be settled il
few hours. by the local magistrate, at
triAiug cost. Our Legislature would d
well to look into this subject, when it au
