EVER SINCE the sewing machine was invented
many attempts have been made to construct a
frst-class machine that could be sold at a rea.
sonable price. To the Mclean & 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 and
better in the arrangement of its working parts,
thereby producing lighter running and more
easily managed shuttle machine than any of its
machines, 80, $40, s55 and s75; wilson's, $40,
$40, $50, S5, S105 and s125. A. & I. Rosen-

FEARFUL.
The stsry Of the aurder OF Hoa. j. n.
Egthsl, Of Arkansas.

The Fort Smith Ne,1 Era gives the
following additional particulars 0fthe
finding Of the body of Hon. J. NJ.
Bethel:
The mystery connected with the
disappearance Of hon. James NJ.
Bethel, representative elect from the
Thirteenth District, has been partially
cleared up, IS lar as his fate is
concerned. his body was found last
Ss urday by young Tucker, of Sugar
loaf township, while hunting cattle,
about four miles from the Arkansas
line, In the ChoCtaW Nation. The
body was found in q thicket in the
bend Of 8 creek, the flesh having been
picked of by v~ultures, etc, the head
being some PAGES from the body. Ii
viii be remembered that Mr.. Bethel
Lad been missing four months. His
money and watch were found nesr
him; the latter, and a one hundred
dollar bill his mother gave him, and
his clothes being readily recognized
The suppOsinOn is that he was at
tackled by two men, who were last
seen with him acendiDg POteau Noun
tain after taking dinner at John
Woods, on the 23d Of December last.
Three shots were heard soon after the
men disappeared, and it is supposed
that Bethel was fred at by both his
companions, and that he escaped
them by flight, being a strong man,
aud being mOrtslly wounded, eX-
pired after reaching the remote and
obscure spot where his body was
found. This theory receives strength
from the fact that one of his ribs was
broken As If done by a bullet. The
body was placed in a coffin day before
yesterday, and inferred where il was
found, with a view Of eXhuming It
after awhile and holding an inquest
