The Inventor Of the Sewing Machine.

I" The following appeared in the New
York Erening Post, June 10Th, 1872:
We all know that mechanical inven-
tions are the popularity of our age, and
have much to do with producing and
distributing our most important COM
modities, while they promote the edu-
cation of our people by taking the heay-
lest burdens from their hands, and by
securing time and means for instruc-
.tion. 1t is proper, therefore, to hold our
inventors in honor and to present them
and their inventions to the public eye
IN fitting monuments. al 4
1t has occurred to n number of our
citizens that suitable monument should
be erected in the Central Park in mem
ory of the late Elias Howe, Jr., the in
ventor of the sewing machine, and that
the money should be raised by, volun-
tary offerings of not more than one dol
lar each from ladies who have known
the benefits of the invention. Elias
Howe, Jr., was not merely successful
inventor, whose needle machine more
powerful and humane than the famous
''needle gun," has changed wholly the
face of one of the most universal and
fatiguing kind of domestic toll; he was
also a good citizen and earnest patriot
who freely gave his money and time
and was ready to risk health and life
for his country. h
1t is understood that an experienced
sculptor has a satisfactory design for an
impressive monument, with studies
modelled from life, and that a gentle.
man OF well-known integrity and thor.
ough acquaintance with the history ol
the invention is ready to act as treas.
urer.

Potato Bugs.

The potato bugs are getting almost as
bad as were the frogs in Egypt. They
march. along our pavements in regi-
ments, crawl up the sides of the houses
and fences to take observations, and al
most come up into the kneading troughs.
Having demolished the potato crop they
have commenced work on the tomatoes,
and are spelling the calculations of
many housewife. They hunt the ripe
tomatoes, eat into the inside and die.
Whether the nature of the fruit does
not agree with them or the quantity
kills them, is a question for scientists.
One thing is certain; nobody cares to
eat the tomato after they have had a
meal out of it.

Tpachprs, TnSfitufp

The Institute held here by the Teach
ers of Holmes County, was magnifi-
cent success, with very few exceptions
the members testify to their unbounded
satisfaction, with the manner of con-
ducting, and the instructions given.
The instructors present were Prof. Kirk
wood, well-known here, and Prof.
Ridge, of Cincinnati. Both these gen.
tlemen are experienced and well versed
in the ways of conducting Institutes.
Prof. Kirkwood by his courteous man
ner, and kindly interest inspired the re-
spect and love of every teacher present.
While the systematic style of his in
struction carried with it conv viction, and
never failed to cause great light to
spring up in the darkness of the Teach
er's brain. Prof. Ridge the whole-soul-
ed, jovial Professor of Elocution, who
never failed to seize an opportunity for
gladdening the teachers hearts, by tell
ing funny story, and seemed to un-
derstand and recognize just what was
wanted by the District School teachers,
and applied himself assiduously to OBJ
waiting the difficulties in the way of
good reading, which it seems ever will
rise to worry the poor teachers brain,
he succeeded to the satisfaction of all.
And when he made us laugh till our
sides ached, we forgave him knowing it
was for our own good. May his shad-
Ow never grow less. Brother Andy
discoursed to lis eloquently, and gave
us excellent instruction OH the subject
of vocal culture. He is a man with
music in his soul, whom Shakespeare
would have trusted. And those re-
unions the memory of which will dwell
with the Holmes county teachers as long
as life shall be to them, they were grand,
glorious and peculiar. May their day
come soon again. Miss Purdy was the
happy recipient of prize for being the
best speller present. While Andy who
with his music, neglects not other thing;
took the second prize. On the whole it
must be considered the best Institute
ever held in Millersburg, and will nc
doubt constitute much to the educational
interests of our county. A MEMBER.

The yearly meeting of the Disciple

IA young man from the country came
and asked for the union flag stating that
"the young men down the Creek wished
to form Grant Club, and to march in
to town on the next Saturday evening""
On that evening a small squad of say
ten or twelve young men and boys came
into tow II with the flag flying and, Fl fe
playing and drum beating. Subsequent-
ly the young man that called for the
flag stated that they had formed a Grant
Club and cheered for Grant, and also
that the same squad, or a part of them,
had subsequently, marched through town
Al tAO NiShb W I'LL MAI lidl uluSlC diiu
cheered for Grant.
OF the six young men and boys that
published the denial in the FARMER of
last week not more than one or two are
voters, and perhaps they. were led to do
so by ridicule. ~ n
l do not know of one Republican in
this township that will vote for Gree
ley or aBy other man that will desert
the Republican party, and go into the
rebel ranks. But do know at least six
Democrats residing in this township
that have said to me that they will not
vote for Greeley. Some of them say
ing 'they had been sold but not deliv-
ered," and Democrats from other places
have said the same to me.
The epithet ga full blown lie'' in the
FARMERdoes not appear in good grace
in that sheet, as its whole political cap
ital has consisted in falsehoods and low,
vile billingsgate and foul denunciations
of the Republican, party and the Gov
ernment of the United States.
