half Of the people, I repel the impu-
tations that they oppose the passage
of this bill. Let each Senator speak.
of their own citizens. I will of mine.
The sturdy liberty -leSing sons of old
England, though fond of glass of
beer, desire the, passage Of this bill,
and that limit should be set to'the
evils flowing from the sale Of ardent
spirits. The virtous and Industrious
children of the Cambrian hills, desire
that the hideous monster should be
shorn of his locks.
And Of my own countrymen, what
shall | say? We Irishmen have suf
fered more from the cursed taIffic than
any others. Why should we not sup
port this bill.
We have brought to this country
an immence amount of capitol in the
shape of hardy industrious constitu-
tions-unimpaired by disease inherited
by vice-which we have exchanged for
money by tearing down the mountain
side, digging canals, filling swamps, con
structing railways and building cities.
What have we left ? Let the saloon
keeper answer. They have too often
reaped the rewards of our industry.
We do not think it is blessing to get
drunk. wedo not look On the use of in
texicating drink as the foundation of our
hopes for the future. We do not look
on the passage Of this bill as blow at
our liberties. We are not fools we
| desire its passage.
I desire not to be looked on as an
Irishman want no line drawn be-
tween native and foreign born. We
are all citizens of the one great country;
our intrests are indentical. Though
born beyond the sea, our children will
boast Of their citizen ship.
And indeed [ have reasons to speak
in behalf Of all our people-that while
petitions have been sent here to me
in favor of this bill, on which I see
the names of Americans, English, Ger
mans, Irish, Welsh, and Norwegians
blended together, not one single re-
monstrancc has been sent to me against
its passage. I have not had word
Of instruction except form petitioners.
| take the responsibility. f@hold no
one accountable My vote is my own
and will act in accordance with the
motto on our State flag, now over
your head, which has waved in the
battle and the breeze, Forward. "

contrary, melts on the slightest apPll-

On Thursday of last week Thomas Glenn

the shaft in which he was working. Hi
father-in-law, hearing the fall. came out
of the drift and found him in sitting pos
ture, to all appearances just as he had
struck the bottom, He did not seem t.

hurt, otherwise he wascon>cion lie put
his foot into the rope, was drawn up
usual and started home. On the way
home he gradually became unconscious,
and remained so, believe, until the fol
lowing Saturday morning, when he passed
away.
DIS. David & WILDER were called. and
operated upon him Frilay morning. They
sawed off piece Of the skull-trepannins

call it-and found that the skull did no

which dips into the assures between tn,
two hemiSphcreS of the ccrebrum, and
had severed small artery in that mem
branc. II was, perhaps, the how of blood
from this artery which caused his uncon
scious state.
He leaves wife and one child.
Nothing certain is known as to how the
accident happened. The most plausible
conjecture is, that something fell, either
from the top or the side Of the shaft, and
struck him. He was buried on Sunday

From the above figures it will be seen that or
rivals in trade are far behind MS, that the popular
ity of what is known orr New Family Sewing
Machine is steadily and largely increasing. We
are not so vain as to suppose that these large
sales are due to superior bushes capacity much
as tn the merits of machines, well rs the
obser walton of those who buy and use, and ar
personally interested in comparing the merits of
the different machines before making selection
Few nave denied, in fact it has been the habit of
sewing machine dealers, till recently, to speak in
laudation of onr manufacturing machines, but in
tho same breath to deny the merits of ma
chine for family sewing. 1t usual to say to a
lady locking for n sewing machine, "If, madam,
you want manufacturing machine, the Singer is
the best" as if we mads one kind OF machine only,
and had no Idmily sewing machine at ALL though

great range and variety of excellent aud beautiful

sales show that its story was not entirely disbe-
lieyed or we would not have sold last year one hun
