EVER SINCE the sewing macnIne was invented
many attempts have been made to construct a
hrst-class machine that could be sold at q rea-
sonable price. To the Mclean q Hooper and to
the Wilson Sewing Machine companies belongs
the credit Of having succeeded in attaining this
object. The Mclean Hooper Company has pro-
duced machine which sews directly from two
spoOls, forms the elastic lock-stitch, and runs
lighter than any other machine using two
threads. The Wilson Shuttle Machine bears the
palm Of excellence as a first-class tailoring ma
chine, being more durable in construction ana
better in the arrangement Of its working parts,
thereby producing lighter running and more
competitors. Price list:-McLean & Hooper
machines, $40, Si5, s55 and SO; Wilson's, $40,
SIS, $50, SIS, sos and SIPS. A. & L. Rosen-
thai, No. 44 7th street, are the agents, and sell
these machines on very accommodating terms.

The FINALE SUFFRAGE TEST CAsE-It is
stated that the cases of Mrs. Sara j. Spencer
and other ladies against the judges of election
of the District Of Columbia, for refusing to reg
lister the plaintiffs allow them to vote, are not
in such shape as will permit the general term,
10 which these cases have been certified, to de-
eide the woman's rights question, which the
suits were designed to put in issue. The regis
tiers or commissioners Of election failed to make
any defence 10 the suit, and hence judgement by
default Is entered against them for such amount
as jury may determine. In this condition the
case is certified to the general term full of tech
meal difficulties in the way of getting decision
upon the questions which the case was intended
TO raise.

If We may credit the accounts We
receive from every quarter, 4 terri

and well-markcd track. For some
time past cholera has been ravag-
ing Persia, where famine has con

1t has crclt on slowly through the
steppcs of Southern Russia, until it
has yraspcd Poland, and has made
its appearance in virulent form in
the eastern provinces of Prussia.
We are we'll acquainted with the
history of all recorded cpidcmics of
Asiatic cholera. They have never
taken us unawares. They have al
ways given warning of their death
dealing approach, and have allow
ed us ample time, if we chose, to set
our houses in order before their
coming. In tropical Asia, amonga a
tccming population, to whom SAM
tary precautions are unknown, chol-
era has Il permanent home. \ cor
respondent, recently returned from
India, called attention day or two
ago in our columns to the state of
things by which the disease is prop
aratcd IN the East. In India there
is no system of drainage, no puri-
fled water supply, except in the
great cities. The germs of disease
are never destroyed or removed,
they are transferred by water or
wind from one household to anoth-
cr, and allowed to tester freely in
the close and darkened habitations
of the natives. When IN unhealthy

lent outbreak of cholera in India,

The teeth Of most Of them are still
in an almost perfect state Of prcser-
vation, though they still fall out
when exposed to the air. 1t is sup
posed that there is gold and silver
in large quantities to be found Oh
the premises, as mineral rods have
invariably, when tested, pointed to
a certain spot, a few yards from
where the last batch Of skeletons was
found, directly under the apple tree.
Some large shells, supposed to
have been used for holding water,
which were also found in the pit,
were almost pctrified. There is no
doubt that were scheme of explor-
alton carried on thoroughly the re-
suit would be highly interesting.
A good deal Of excitement exists in
the nei ghborhood, and many visit
ors call at the farm daily. The
skulls and bones Of the giants are
fast disappearing, being taken away
by curiosity hunters. 1t is the im.
tention Of Mr. Frcdcnburs to cover
the pit up very soon. The pit is
ghastly in the extreme. The farm
is skirted on the nortl, by the Grand
river. The pit is close to the banks,
but marks are there TO show where
the gold or silver treasure is sup
posed to BIZ un,.cr.
From the appearance Of h,Nskuls
It would seem that their po'Scssors
died violent deaths, as many of
them were broken and dcntcd. The
axes are shaped like tomahawks-

beads are Ill of stone. and of all

A REMARKABLE SIGHT.
Two Hundred Skeletons at Anakir..

On "Wednesday last, Rev. Ma
thanicI Wardcll, Messrs. Orin War
dell, of Toronto. and Daniel Freden-
burg were digging on the farm OF
the latter gentleman, which is on
the bank Of the Grand river, in the
township of Eayuga. When they
got to five or six feet below the sur
face a strange sight met them.
Piled III layers, one upon top OF the
other, some two hundred skeletons
of human beings nearly perfect
around the neck Of each one being
a string ot' beads. There were also
deposited in this pit number OF
axes and Skimmcrs made Of stone.
In the jaws Of several Of the skele-
tons were large stene pipes, one Of
which Mr.. Orin Wardcll took with
him to Toronto day or two after
this Golg"tua was unearthed.
These skeletons are those of gi-
gantlc stature, some of them
measuring nine feet, and very few
of them less than seven feet. Some
of the thigh bones were found to be
at least Il half foot longer than those
ut present known, and one of the
skulls discovered completely cover
ed the head Of al ordinary person.
These skeletons are supposed to be
long to those of Il race of people an
terror to the Indians. Some three
wears ago the bones of Il mastadon
were found embedded in ,thc earth
about six miles from this spot. The
pit and its yhastly occupants are
now open to view of any who may
wish to make visit there.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the remains of lost city are
on this farm. At various times
within the past few years the re
mains OF mud houses w tn their
chimnevs have been found, and
there are dozens of pits of Il smaller
kind than that unearthed, though
much smaller, in the place which
has been discovered before, though
the fact has not been made public
hitherto. The remains Of black
smiths shop, containing two tons
Of charcoal and various implements
has turned up a few months ago.
The farm which consists Of Il hun
dred and fifty acres, has been cult,
waited for nearly century, and was
covered with y thick growth Of
pine, SO that it must have been ages
ago since the remains were deposit
ed there. The skulls Of the skcle-
tons are ot enormous size and of all
manner Of shapes, about half as
