As much has been said about gold medal awards
for Sewing Machines wish to say word myself.
The highest premiums awarded at the various fairs
in this country are of VIGOROUSLY small importance
some even less than others. If any Importance
attaches to any awards made late years, 1t Ia those
of the Exposition Universee, at Paris, 1867, where
all the principal Sewing Machines of the world were
in competition and where they were taken out into
and thoroughly ested and here the charac-

II was reduced during the war, 1t is believed raat
the annual reports for June 80, 1871, will show
very fair degree OF prosperity In the coastwise
home trade. The cause Of all tins Is well known to
everybody. In our foreign trade our ships enter
into free competition with the ships of all the world,
and the result is British ships have superseded
American ships even in our own ports. In our
coastwise or home trade foreign vessels on the
other hand are not allowed TO engage. American
vessels, under tins protective measure, have the
enterprise all to themselves, and hence enjoy
prosperous condition.
New Issue OF Internal Revenue stamps.
The In ernal Revenue Bureau will change all the
stamps on about the 1st OF August substituting
two knds-one called the sensitive stamps, so that
the use OF acids TO remove cancelng marks will de-
sfroy them beyond reuse; the other to be printed
such cOlors as TO prevent imitation by means Of
photography. Much time and attention have been
bestowed upon TINS subec and 1t is supposed the
precautions against fraud In the reuse o. stamps
will save large sum Of money to the government

on Thursday morning Mr. James Jones, laborer
sNty-ny years OF age found dead In his bed NJ
Moodna, near CORNWALL, on the Hudson, and the re.
mains considerably advanced in decomposition. An
investigation was held by Coroner James Gushing
Monday. The examination developed the follow
ing facts
In March last Jones ana his wife had violent
quarrel, the midst of hlch Frank
McGovern a son-ln-law, entered The room,
and, alter words he seized a piece OF
stove wood and dealt Jones a blow over the left

surgeon was sent for and dressed the wound,
but detected nothing but the cut IN the flesh, which
he sewed up. From the time OF the acas until HIS
death Jones seems 10 have become more aud more

Mrs Jones visited her husband with whom she was
not living found him apparently IN a drunken stu.
por and left hnl IN that condition. From that time
unlll Thursday he was lost sight OF. On the morn
ing Of that day The body was discovered, dead and
The remains were examined by Dr. Beatty who
on the Coroners inquest testified that he found the
lungs and stomach SO deCayed as to break down
under the touch. over the left eye he found de-
preston, aud the probe went through TO the bone.
Saving out triangular piece reaching down a
lille into the nasal bones he found evidence OF q
blow which mad made hole in the skull and irac
tured the bone about IT, The fracture had
partly healed, but the opening was still there. The
nasal cavity back OF the hole full of pus which
oozed from the brain. Following TINS up, an abscess
was found, doubtless proceeding from the injury to
the brain caused by the blow which broke the skull
The doctor thought this sufficient account for tile
death Of Jones.
THs vRRrrcr OF THE JURY.
After few minutes deliberatiOn the jury
turned verdict setting forth that James Jones
came to his death from wound inflicted by piece
OF wood In the nand OF Frank McGovern.
The present whereabouts OF McGovern is I'M
known. HIS mother testified that he was at her
house on Thursday morning, but that she did not
know where he now Is. 1t seems that ne fed from
the nelghborhood on hearing OF the death OF his
fatherin-law, aad may be now beyond reach. 1t Il
not thought, however, that the blow was inflicted
with the design OF murder.

The Albany Argus says OF General Sherman's
latest letter the subject OF the Presidency, that
IL must be regarded as ending the controversy
relating 10 his candidacy. He Is evidently satisfied
with his present high position as Commander OF
The American army. But tie sentiments contained
IN his speech, continues the Argus, which he
neither retracts nor mobiles, show what the great
soldier thinks Of the eiaptrap legislation OF Con-
lress.
