by the President OF the United states-a prOcla-
nation
''The process of the seasons has again
enabled the husbandmen to garner the
fruit of successful toll Industry has been
generally well rewarded. We are at peace
with all nations; tranquility, with few ex-
ceptions, prevails at home. Within the
past year we have in the main been free
nom the ills which elsewhere affected our
kind. IL some of us have had calamities,
they should be the occasion for sympathy
with the sufferers, of resignation on their
part to the will of the Most High, rejoicing
to many who have been more favored.
therefore recommend that Thursday, the
3oth day of November, next, the. people
meet IN their respective places of worship,
to make the usual Acknowledgements to
Almighty God for the blessings He has
conferred upon them, in their mereiful ex-
emption from evils; invoke His protection
and kindness for their less fortunate breth-
rem, whom, in His wisdom, He deemed il
best to chastise. In the faith whereof,
have hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal Of the State to be affixed.

OmciaI NFajorities.

The official vote Of the State shows
that the Republicans. and Democrats
hare each elected eighteen Senators,
making a tie ia that branch of the Leg
islature. In the House the Republi-
cans have elected SO members, and the
Democrats ia Republican majority
of IA in the House, making on joint
ballot IA Republican majority.
bs In the election of a U. S. Senator
the law requires a majority of the votes
in each House for one candidate. If
no choice is made in this way, then
both Houses vote in joint ballot, and
the candidate having rnajority Of al
the votes, is elected. So it will be seer
that the Republicans have it. 4f

SEWING MACHINE.

The first and only Button Hole and Sewing Ma
chine Combined that has made its advent in this
or any other country, is assuredly the King of
Sewing Machines. It is the most substantially
built, has the fewest working parts, and the most
accessible. DerangemSntS and breakages
are obviat"d in consequence Of the
excellent mechanism employed in its con-
structiOn 1t is beautiful in design and finish
Incompatible in the simplicity of its construc-
tion, very rapid and easy in its movements, and
the most thoroughly perfected yet offered to pur.
chasers. Is capable Of performing q range OF
work hitherto thought impossible for Sewing
Machines A trial will convince the most skepti.
cal Of its unquestionabls superiority.
IA 1t obtained two prizes at the Cincinnati
Industrial Exposition.-a Gold and Silver Medal.
The Gold one for the m0st complete Sewing Ma
chine, and the Silver one for the best work done
on it. It also received the Diploma at Ross

~ Pike. OF the Leesblirg. Indepsnd-
ent, talks thus naughtily about the
folly offemaIe. fashion. If the editor
OF the Independent ever comes in con
tact with one of these little fashiona-
BILE divinities, it will be at the expense
of every spear of hair on his irrever-
eft heads'
The FOLLY OF FAsHIoN.--We saw a
yeune lady, or something resembling
one, going up the street the other day,
looking much like a crooked stick,
covered with crinoline and corsets,
and a pGck-sGdd1c girted upon the
hinder part of it. The way the pretty
thing wriggled along was shocking
and could the killing little beauty have
heard the gibes and jeers of observers
as she jerked and hirted along, we feel
assured that she would never be seen
in that horrid costume again. ~
The folly of fashion was never 40
fully demonstrated as il is in the pres.
ent fast age Of the world; and never
was there a greater mistake made by
mortal women, than in supposing thai
distorted figure, q Grecian Bend, OF
any other affectation or ornament
sdds to her beauty, or makes her NOR,
fascinating to man.
