WHAT SEWING MACHINE IS THE BEST ?

WHAT SEWING MACHINE IS THE BEST ?
Agents of different sewing machines
in their advertisements claim substan-
italy the same good qualities. They
all claim to run the lightest and
quietest, they are all the strongest and
simplest, they are each capable OF
doing more and better work than all
the others, so how are the public to
decide?
Success is the hest proof Of merit
The Singer Machine was introduced in
this market more than twenty years
since, and has given such universal
satisfaction that, without employing
canvassers, the agents have been
scarcely able to supply the demand.
Last year the sales OF the Singer Com
pany reached 100000 machines, which
is double the amount sold by the closest
competitor. AS the Singer agents are
not more active and do not claim to be
more capable than their competitors,
what conclusion can the public arrive
at other than that the sales are in pro-
portion to its merit, and that the sworn
returns made by the different COM
panies of their sales, are pretty fair
criterion by which to judge of the
relative merits Of their Machines?

HORSE THIEF CAPrURED.-We men.
toned a day or two since the fact OF a
fine mare belougins.to John McCuskey
having been stolen, and that partie:
were on the track of the thief. On Friday
evening a German named Cooney Orr
who formerly lived at Elm Grove, and
who got into trouble in Marshall
county by setting FIRE to thrShing
machine, was captured near Woods
field, Ohio, and placed in Jail on
charge of having stolen McCuskeys
horse. After his arrest he confessed
the crime, and is now in Jail there to
await q hearing. 1t is thought that
Cooney, who knows every horse in the
county, is the person who has caused
the disappearance Of all the animals
stolen horeabouts during the past five
or six weeks. Why he was left in Ohio
We are not informed. 1t seems to US
that he should have been brought to
West Virgins for . trial

Just one mouth had Dora been married to
me,
When the dear little puss came and sat on
my knee,
With the cunningest "peepers" that ever
were seen,
Whispered, "Hubbie, must have a sewing
machine"
or course I consented; what new husband
wouldn't?
II II cost me a thousand, deny her couldn't.
so asked my pet blandly what kind she'd
have bought,
And suggested Howe, before thought.
"Oh, Dickey, how can you ?" she said with
apout;
"why, it's noisy and slow; won't have 1t
about!
And for goodness don't mention that hard
running Singer!
iShe said 1t so cross, you ought to have seen

WORK IN CH1cAeo.-As a good many

WoRk IN CHIcAGo.-As Q good many
of our young bricklayers, carpenters and
others are talking Of going to. Chicago
this spring with the expectation Of
getting al the work they want in
rebuilding the burned city, we publish
the following letter received day or
two since by well known Wheeling
mechanic. 1t may be relied on as Civ
10, the truth in relation to the over
crowded condition of affairs there
CHICAGO, March s, 1872.
DEAR Sic AND BRo.-E. B. Sherman
has Just handed me your letter with
the request that l should answer it.
We receive numerous letters Of like
character, and many come to Chicago
without taking the trouble you did to
ascertain beforehand the state Of affairs
here. Our FIRE and the rapid rebuilding
Of Chicago attracted thousands of
mechanics from all parts OF the land
anu IEOn IuIOHS anu tHC iONIbSCS
until we are completely overstocked
with help Of all kinds, and have never
known al this season 90 many unem-
ployed mechanics or so low wages paid
as at present in Chicago. 1t is fact
that many come here and are compelled
to apply to the Relief Committee for
aid. | think, however, that bricklayers
are dong rather better than carpenters.
Good workmen are now getting 81 30 to
$500, and work about one-half the
time. They expect to get these wages
during the summer. Bricklaying will
be very lively after the new brick com es
in, say about the middle Of May, but |
question whether it would be advisable
for you to come even then, unless you
consider yourself an extra good hand,
as newcomers are arriving every day by
scores. Should a demand occur, how
ever, will let you know il you wish.
Yours, fraternally,

Poles CoURT.-There were three
cases before the Police Court on Satur-
day morning.
The habit OF throwing stones has be
come 80 common among the boys Of
this city, and so great nuisance, that
complaints have been made to the
police about it. Capt. Conant de-
termined to break it up, and issued
orders to his deputies to that effect,
The first instalment Of youthful viola,
tors Of the ordinances, John Cook anu
Joseph Steadman. were presented to
Judge Good, charged with stone throw
ing. They were fined s. and costs
each. We should think the boys
would be willing to quit such amuse-
ments-at the price.
Joseph Meyers was captured on Fri
day night, in Centre Wheeling, as full
as he could get himselfwithout stopping
over. When asked 10 drink he forgot
to say II not for joe" His short mem.

The New Coal, MINE.-On Saturday
we paid visit to the coal shaft just
opened at Glen Grove by W. 7. d J. V.
Chambers on portion Of the old Cruger
estate. The shaft is sixteen feet by
eight feet in the clear and is sixty-four
feet deep, and the coal taken from it
is said to be the best aud purest ever
mined in Wheeling. 1t is pronounced
to be entirely free from sulphur, is OF
great heating capacity, and easily
ignited. The shaft was sunk by Thomas
Kearns, who with his assistants, Stell
Martin and Sam Ivens, has worked
with a persistency and determination
rarely equalled to bring great results 10
his proprietors for their large OUTLAY.
And nobly has he succeeded.
In sinking the shaft the miners first
came upon a vein of roof coal of about
two feet in thickness, then two inch
vein of slate, and then struck six foot
vein OF coal that rises to the northwest
and promises a supply Of the best oil
coal for manufacturing and heating
purposes that will last until generations
vet unborn shall have passed away.
The Messrs. Chambers are making
arrangements to work their shaft to its
full capacity; they have ordered from
Hobbs ~ Taylor the necessary engines
and machinery for doing the work, and
expect to have everything ready to
commence operations on a large scale
within the next four weeks, when they
will be ready to supply all who need
pure coal for any purpose whatever
with all they may neeS. We heard a
well known merchant OF this city, one
who knows whereof he affirms, say that
more steam could be generated with
FIVE pounds Of this coal than with
twenty pounds of ordinary Wheeling
coal.
Although at first greatly discouraged
by the distractions thrown in their way,
Messrs. Chambers have worked until
every obstacle has been overcome, and
il will be but a short time until they
will be ready to receive orders for their
coal, which we honestly believe will be
found to be the best in the market, and
we further believe that their coal mine
will prove in the end to be gold mine
We sincerely hope 80, anyhow.

pose that Wheeling can assemble as
we'll the most disorderly as the most
brilliant audiences OF any city OF its
size in America. We don't know but
that, taking Saturday night as a speci-
men, we might he safe in saying that
when it comes to getting together a
disorderly, noisy, yelling crowd,
Wheeling can rank them all. Most OF
our citizens enjoy the performances of
a first class minstrel troupe, but the
crowds drawn by such percormt &C. are
usually so outrageously noisy that it is
unpleasant as well as unsafe to take a
lady to one OF them, and Ministries,
instead of the large AMI fashionable
audiences we have seen in. other cities,
have to perform here to audiences
almost entirely composed OF men. To
this may be traced the fact that all first
class shows avoid Wheeling as if she
was afflicted with a pestilence.
On Saturday night Charley Shay
gave an entertainment at Washington
Hall. To be sure it was about the
worst we ever saw here, being but bad
repetition OF the first nights pro-
gramme; but long before the curtain
went up on the entertainment, the
yelling and shouting and beastly allu-
sions from the boys in the gallery 10
their friends in the auditorium was
outrageous and insulting to the lew fe-
males in the hall. Captain Conant, by
using pretty severe measures, managed
to still the tempest for time, but it
broke out worse than ever when lie re-
tired.
What should be done to protect our
citizens from annoyances and insults
when they 60 to the only place OF
amusement we have? is the question.
We certainly are opposed to taking the
police force off the streets to protect
private enterprises. 1t is not right that
the citizens at large-those who attend
amusements and they who do not
should pay for the protection Of the
owners Of Washington Hall, or any
other hall, and make it popular and
consequently remunerative place OF
amusement. Is it not duty the
stockholders in Washington Hall owe
to the troupes 10 whom they rent the
hall and the people who patronize it,
to have two or three special policemen
appointed and qualified by Council,
whose especial duty it shall be to ar
rest or eject from the hall all who
violate the rules OF decency and Of the
Association? These special police
should be without power at other times
but when the hall is occupied by
theatrical, minstrel, concert or other
performances, their power should be
ample, and they should be paid either
by the Association or the troupe. Such
an arrangement would, we think, re-
suit to the advantage Of all concerned.
We know it would be a satisfaction to
the better portion Of the audience.
The best thing to do, though, is to build
the Opera House, where you know the
audience will be protected by proper
and efficient police force.
