The rise and fall of numberless ma
chimes heralded as superior to all
others" has convinced the public that
it is safer to buy a good article of es-
tablished reputation and of responsible
parties than to risk their money in
doubtful experiments. Scores of sew
ing machine agents have disappeared
and left purchasers Of machines with
no means of repair or OF obtaining
needles and parts of machines. The
Singer Sewing Machine has been repre-
sented here for the past twenty-five
years, and in buying one you know just
what you are getting. There is no risk,
as thousands will testify to its merits.

A REGULAR BEAT PAS DUR read
ers very well know, the Theodore
Thomas Orchestra has been announced
to appear at Washington Hall for a
performance TOMS ht and Tomorrow
hight. A person calling himself y.
Parkhurst, Business Manager" engaged
the hall, made arrangements with Mr..
Snsit 10 sell tickets, advertised IN the
papers and made contracts for local
notices, printing and all other needed
preparations. This was on Monday
last. His statement to Us was that he
would commence the sale of seats on
the next dsy. The sale OF seats hasn't
commenced vet, nor has Mr.. Shelb re-
ceived the promised tickets, unless he
got them last night. We remarked on
Saturday, that it was queer that no bills
had been poste about town, a. is usual,
but supposed that the "BusIness Man
aver" understood his business. And
we guess ne did. We are inclined TO
think that the whole thing is beat
of the first magnitude, that Thomas
Orchestra is not coming here, that he
is not Thomas Orchestra agent, that
his name is not Parkhurst, and that
probably he is the same fellow referred
to in the following, which we clip from
the Columbus Dispatch. of lat Fri
day:
James E. Pelham registered at the
Neil House, Wednesday, "a the agent
of the Aimee Opera Boutie Company.
He commenced making the usual pre-
variations Tor an exhibition OF that KIND.
finally borrowed some money, and LETT
town without paying his hotel bill lie
il rather tall and slim in appearance,
and is a man OF very plausible al tre-s.
The description fits admirably, and
we are inclined to think Pelham and
Parkhurst is one and the same indiyid-
nal We have not heard whether he
beat" any one out OF their money, but
it is rot unlikely. H. has evidently
been in the show business and under
stands it, and knows the pames OF
agents He is probably playing the
same game elsewhere. Let the press
look out for him.
Since writing the above we find the
following in the New York .Nerc,~y
under date of Boston, Mas, Novem-
Der %:
Theodore Thomas, with his orchestra,
gives a concert 29lh, in aid Of the sui
ierers; also matinee 3O:h. On De.
csmber =, 3, AID 6, and on the afternoon
OF the TIN he will cOnCcrt.zs. He La
four soloisls, Geo. l.. OSgood, tenor; ;.
f. Jacohsohn, violin; Ai,lphu1 Lock-
wood, harp; Anna Mehljg, riauisl; and
Bernhard Ljstemann, on the violin.
That settles it. Theodore Thomas
orchestra cant play in Boston on De-
cember , and 3 and give concert on
the same nights in Wheeling. Not il
we know ourselt he can't. We guess
Wheeling folks might as well stay
home tonight and not worry about
Thomas and his orchestra Nobody
wants TO hear the music, anyhow.

A Nasty NIGHr-Last night was a
most dIsagreeaole one. Alter showing
until between four aud FIVE o'clock, it
changed TO a rain that made the snow
Sloshy and slippery. 1t was not an I'M,
usual thing to hear some pedestrian on
his or her way to church give serious
groan as the pavement flew up and
struck ehignon or a coat tail. You
could always tell that some one had sat
down, just by hearing them groan.

MARRIAGE LICENSES IssUED.-During
the month OF November there were
thirty-tbree marriage licenses issued,
against nineteen in 1871, and nineteen
in 1870. During the first week Of the
month just passed there were no licenses
issued, so it will be seen that the latter
part of the month was improved by
those matrimonially inclined. We
wonder if the low range Of the Their
mometer had anything to do with the
activity in the marriage license market.

Old Parson S., of Connecticut
was a particular kind of person
One day he had q man plowins
in his field, and he went out 10 set
how the work was going on. The
ground was very stony, and every
time the pillow struck a stone the
man took occasion to swear a little.
Look here" said Parson S.,
'you mustn't swear that way in my
field"
"Well, reckon you'd swear too"
said the man, ''if You had to pillow
such a stony field as this"
"Not a bit of it," said Mr.. S.
"Just let me show you.'
So the Parson took hold of the
pillow, but he very soon had great
trouble with the stones. AS stone
after stone caught the plowshare,
Mr.. ). would calculate:
"Well, / never saw the like ="
And this he repeated every time
a stone stopped his onward way
When he had plowed around once,
he stopped and said to the man:
"There, now! You see | can
blow without swearing"
But | guess it's pretty near as
'ad to lie," said the man, sand YOU
old dozens O lies. Every time the
low struck a stone, you said, Il
lever saw the like when the same
hing had happened the very min
tie before"

Somebody wrote to the editor Of
a village paper to ask how he would
"break an OK" The editor re-
piled as follows: "If only one OK,
a good way would be TO hoist him,
by means of a long chain attached
to his tail, to the top of pole forty
feet from the ground. Then hoist
him by rope tied to his horns to
pole. Then descend on his
back a five-ton pile-driver, and, if
that don't break him, let him start
country newspaper and trust peo-
pie for subscription. One of the
two ways viii do it sure"
