From the above fgures will be seen that
our rivals ia trade arc far yehind re, that The
popularity of what is known as our NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE 10 steadily and
LARGELY increasing. We arc not so vain as to
suppose that these large sales arc due to supe
rior business capacity so much as H. the merits
of ovr machines, as well as the observation of
those who buy and use, and are personally in
tercsted in comparing the merits of the differ
ont machines before making n selection.
Few hnvc denied, in fact it has been the hab-
it Of sewing machine dealers, till recently, to
speak in laudation OF our manufi curing ma
chimes, but in the same breath to deny the
merits of our machine for family sewing. 1t
was usual to say to n lady looking for n sew
ing machine, of, madam, you want manu-
featuring machine, tho Singer is the best" as
if VIC made but one kind Of machine only, and
had no Family sewing machine at all, though

Mr.. Editor The " Union Temperance"
association Of this borough met in the
Lutheran church on Monday evening. The
ministers of the different congregations are
identified with the movement and no doubt
some good will be accomplished. If this
organized body will do as much for our
place as the present prohibitory law has, we
think there will be precious little drinking.
If, however the law is not executed what is
the use of having any more law than we
have? The only question with our people
really is who will see that the law is re-
spected. There is perhaps some poison sold
here but most of it is purchased elsewhere
we think. We will report more on this
again. The side walks in our borough
were much improved last season, but many
remain still unfinished. A number of new
buildings are appearing at different points
in town. As soon as coal can be had the
furnace win be put in blast. OBSERVER

A Foolish Man, at Landisvillo, Lancaster

A Foolish Man, at Landisville, Lancaster
county, nearly lost 5000 in government
bonds by placing them in a window blind
for safe keeping. He had previously cut
off the coupons. A sale of a portion of his
personal effects took place a few days since
and this blind was one of the articles sold.
The purchaser saw some papers wrapped
up in the blind, and gave them to his chill
dren to cut up without ever looking at them
Fortunately it was discovered after $50
bond had been mutilated. The owner,
Jacob Kline, was notified, and with com.
mendable liberality gave the finder so cents
for his trouble.

Decedents' Estates.--The Orphans Court

it is the duty of anexecutor or administra-

sold by him. In default of taking out
searches the executor or administrator may
be held personally liable to lien creditor
for losses Of his claims, even though an
auditor has distributed the assets and the
report has been confirmed by the Court.

Fire In OrrstOwn.--0n Saturday night,
about nine o'clock, the stable of DIR. Max
we'll Kennedy, in Orrstown, Franklin county,
was discovered to be on fire, and by the
time the neighbors gathered, the building
was wrapped in flames. The Doctors horse
was rescued from the burning building, but
not until he was well scorched by the heat
and blinded by the smoke. A COW, car
riage, and a sleigh, together with a quanti-
ty of hay and oats were consumed. The
stable was supposed to have been set on
fire.
The stable of John Powders, immediate
ly adjoining the above, and the stable OF
Jacob Zearfoss, adjoining Powders, caught
fire and were burned to the ground. Every
thing movable was taken out of both
buildings, and their loss is not heavy.
Incendiarism seems to be manifesting its
presence very Enthusiastically in Orrstown.
The tannery of Mr.. Daniel Keiffer in that
place, has been set ON fire two or three
times, and week ago the stable on the
same lot was set on fire and burned.- Vol

A Singular Disappearance.--The Blooms
burg Republican of the 9TH says that about
four weeks ago man called at the resi-
dence OF Mr.. John Pursel, of Lime Ridge,
about midnight, and informed him that his
brother, living near Millville, was at the
point of death, and requested his immediate
presence. He said that he could not go be-
fore morning. Early the next morning he
set out for Millville, and found his brother
in his usual state Of health. He then went
to Laporte, Sullivan county, to attend to
some business, after which he returned to
his brothers. He left his brothers resi-
dence in order to return home, and since
then he has not been heard from. Search
has been made, but no trace up to the pres
ent have been found of him, and the most
painful apprehensions a,e entertained from
all the circumstances that he has been
foully dealt.

the Moderator of the last meeting, Rev. DIR.
Wing, of Carlisle. DR.. ErslSine, of New
vile, was then elected Moderator, and the
regular business of Presbytery proceeded
with. Ou Wednesday at II O'clock a. an,
the Moderator, DR.. Erskine, preached from
the text, "Among whom ye shine as lights
in the world holding forth the word of
life. e."-Phillipians II; 10, 1G. The sermon
was of great power, and by vote of Pres
bytery was requested for publication. If
complied with by the doctor it will be pub
lished by the Presbyterian Board of Publ
cation, Philadelphia, where it may then be
obtained. ,H n.f
The sermon on Wednesday eve ming was
preached as trial sermon by the pastor
elect of the Church at Waynsboro, Rev.
NJ. Giddis, from the text, "For if the word
spoken by angels was steadfast, and every
transgression and disobedience received
u Just recompense of reward, how shall
we escape if we neglect SO great saliva
?"-Hebrews II /; 2, 3. The sermon was
an excellent production, and would have
done credit to any minister.
Most of the business of Presbytery
would be uninteresting to the general pub
lie, and we therefore close this account of
the proceedings without giving a detail of
all the doings. On Wednesday after
noon the subject of temperance came up,
and after considerable discussion the fol
lowing resolution was passed by nearly
unanimous vote: Resolved, That those
persons who, at a time like the present, en-
gage habitually in the manufacture and
sale of ardent spirits as a beverage, are
guilty of an immortality which ought not
to be tolerated in our communion and
which should be proceeded against like any
other "offence" against the purity and
peace of the Church.
The meeting closed on Thursday morn
ing, and the members, about fifty in all
took their departure for their homes. Th'
next stated meeting will be held in Gettys
burg on the first Tuesday in October next
An adjourned meeting will be beld in Ship
pensburg in June.
The Christian fellowship enjoyed by on
citizens with the members during thei
short stay in our midst will long be re
membered and their return will always b
welcome

Isle Presbytery met in the court house in
This place, on Tuesday evening of last week
at Z o'clock. The opening sermon was
preached by Rev. Dr. Strong, of the Third
street church, Harrisburg, from the text
What think yc of Christ? whose son is he"
The sermon was a clear, scriptural argu-
ment on the two-fold nature of the Saviour.
The preacherquoted many passages wherein
Christ is represented as inferior to the
Father, and many on the other, hand, de-
claring him equal with the Father This
seeming inconsistency was readily recon-
ciled by the human and divine nature exist
ing in the one person of Christ, the first
passages referring to his human, and the
last to his divine nature. The sermon was
very able and well delivered one, and was
listened to bya large and attentive audi
ence.
