The Coop TINE CoME.-The patent so
long held by Wheeler & Wilson for the

last expired, and an extension has been
refused. The day has gone by when a
machine costing but from SIS to $50 can
be sold at from $50 to Sl25. We see that
the American Shuttle Sewing Machine
Company of Detroit are first in the field
with a machine embodying all the best
features Of the most costly article, and
while their machines are, in every parties
ular, as perfect in their adaptation to all
classes of work as the Wheeler & Wilson,
Grover & Baker, and Singer, they are now
disposing of them at prices ranging from
1875 to $40. This is certainly an immense
reduction, and its effects are already to be
seen by the large orders received, and the

There are persons known to all of us,
who constantly exhale fragrance Of
goodness, of gentleness, of sympathy.
We cannot tell why it is, but something
in their character and lives seem to i'm

with God Of prayerful determination
and self-abnegation of secret and earn

themselves unseen, give coloring to all the

Clergylnen, Take Care /!

The Rev. j. H. Noble, of Troy, mar
ried runaway couple, the other day, not
stopping to inquire as to the wishes of the
friends of the parties, though the girl was
but sixteen years old and, being scquaint-
ed with her family, he must have known
that there were serious objections to her
private marriage. And it seems that he
has been equally indiscreet on other oc-
casions. William Dusenberry writes to
the Troy Wing to condemn him. 81 ex-
perienced," he says, "the same deep
writhing agony only a few years ago,
when the announcement was made to me
by neighbor that my little girl, only l6
years old, had been clandcstincly married
by this injudicious, unfeeling reverend in
question. My feelings can better be i'm
agined than described when learned that
the ceremony of my daughter had been
performed in a dwelling of a very ques-
tionable character, in secret and coward
~ manner.n There is something very
strange in the fact that such marriages are
by no means uncommon, and that the
clergymen who perform the ceremony are
frequently men of the highest respectable
ity. It is hardly possible that familiarity
with marriage services can breed for them
q certain contempt in the eyes of these
clergymen. The relation is perhaps the
most sacred Of any which it is in the pow
er Of men and women to enter into, and
should never be lightly accepted, whatev-
er the circumstances Of those who aspire
to it may be. Yet girls and boys, running
away from their parents, find no difficulty
in getting themselves united. Disparity
in age, feebleness of intellect, drunken
ness, even ct the time of acceptance of the
bond, appear to be no bar to marriage,
though, in addition, it may be apparent to
the officiating clergyman that the parties
have escaped from those who have the
right to protect them. This is all wrong,
and a clergyman who SO imposes upon the
sacredness of the bond ought to be sever
ely punished.

Trial Of Anthony Curler.

The whole of last week was consumed
by the District Court in the trial of An
thony Curler for the murder of James
WEIGH. There were not less than sixty
witnesses subpoenaed, most of whom
were on the stand to testify, and many OF
them the prominent men in and around
Colesburg. The large number of people
present from that part of the country,
showed that there was a good deal of
feeling in the matter. While the prose-
cution had strong and earnest men, the
defense had here larger number of men,
willing to help in clearing the accused,
and ready to testify to the previous good
character of Curler. The case was ably
managed on both sides, and the trial as
fair - it is possible to manage enc. For
the State, the Attorneys in the case were
G. T. Granger, John I. Stoncman and
Judge Murdoch. For the defense, Noble,

had labored so hard, to one not fully post
ed and not acquainted with the testimony,
it seemed that the jury would fail to agree,
but they were disappointed, as the jury
rendered verdict in about half an hour
after the case was left with them. Their
verdict was, equity of manslaughter -
The Attorneys for the defense then imme-
diately asked for new trial, but the
Judge, Hon. Milo McGlathery, reserved
his decision till the September term of
Court. The reason Of this is, that if the
Court refused new trial, the Attorneys
for the defense would have taken an APP
peal to the Supreme Court, which does
not sit until the second week in October
hence, probably to save time, and also
probably to hear the trial Of the younger
Curler, the Judge reserved his decision.
Application was made fer bail and the
amount fixed for the Curriers' at $4,000
each, and for Runners, at $5OQ.-Elkader

FORTY-FIKsT TERM-sECOND SESSION.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-Mr. Osborn presented the
petition of o. b. Hart OF Florida setting forth that
the election of Senator Gilbert OF that State, was
illegal and void that he (HarD had subsequently
been elected in compliance with the terms of the act
of Congress regulating the time and manner OF
holding elections for Senators in Congress, which
law was disregarded in the election OF Mr. Gilbert,
and asking to be admitted to the seat occupied
by that gentleman.
Mr.. Osborn said he believed his colleague Mr
GberD had been legally elected, but the legality
OF the proceeding had been disputed it would be
for q committee of the Senate to decide the aues-
tion He therefore, moved to refer the petition,
with various accompanying papers, to the Judiciary
Committee
the petition of Mr. Hart, setting forth various
irregularities in the election OF Mr. Gilbert, and,
house Of the Legislature, was read, when Mr.. Os-
borns motion was agreed to, and the whole subject
referred to the judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Pomeroy made personal explanation by way
OF correction OF statement In a recent response
from the Secretary OF the Treasury u House reso-
luton relating to certain uneXpended balances OF
former appropriations. The statement had refer
ence to an appropriation during Mr. Lincoln's ad-
mnstraton for colonization purposes, SOS 900 being
assigned to an enterprise which he was appointed
by Mr.. Lincoln to superintend. He had promptly
made his returns to the Secretary OF the Interior.
and settled his account and the papers were filed in
the Interior Department, but sent to the
Treasury Department Hence arose the msappre-
henslon OF the Secretary that the account had not
yet been settled.
Mr.. Casserly presented the resolutions of the
tax, and asked its reference to the Finance Com
mittee. He remarked that the sentiment of his
State averse to longer continuance of the tax
as oppressive and unjust
