A BAD WRITER.-On Friday evening les,
young lady of tnis city received a letter
out of the post office. Hastily opening it
she attempted to read its cohlenls, but it
was puzzle, as she ionnd it an impnssbil-
ty to decipher many of the words and SEN
fences; aud those that she did seemed to
convey no intelligence or to have the slight
est partical of sense in them. She asked
young gentleman friend to assist her in
reading il. He looked at the mysterious
missive and smiled. Her curiosity was
aroused, she snalched the letter from his
hands aud attempted TO read it ard smile
but il was OF no use. She handed it back
to him. He gazed at it and smiled little
broader, but said nothing. Now she vexi
ed, and thought it real mean in him to
laugh and not tell her what about After
laughing ill he grew red in the face and
his sides shook aud ached, he bnnded it
back to her saying "why that's your own
letter returned from the dead letter o.ice!'

ments which must be extracted, or it will op
crate like nitro-glycerne, very little COM
motion will make an explosion which might
be more serious than troubled waters"
We beg leave to submit the following facts,
which can be prorsd: That we were not in
solvent in February last; that we did not con-
tinue to employ our factory hands from that
time, "paying them only in promises" but
that during the winter and spring we paid out
something over ten thousand dollars to people
who, according to their own statements,
would, many of them, been out of employ
ment during the winter months but for the
shoe factory; neither are they the poverty
stricken people that Subscriber" would
make them out, but the sons and daughters
Of well-to-do people. But we are not hold
ing this as an excuse why they were not
paid, and would state that with two or three
exceptions they were paid to the first Of May.
The assertion that che has bought off GER
tain creditors whose position or influence he
fears" is utterly false-he has compromised
with nobody, and we challenge "Subscriber"
to find a case.
AS to the "extravagant style of living"
which we have maintained, we beg leave to
apologize to all whom it may concern if we
have eaten or drank more than was needed
to keep US alive, or worn more clothing than
was necessary to keep us warm and plead
guilty to one fearful vce-keeping a horse.

Horrible Outrage.

Detroit. G. Peter Jewett, father of little
girl outraged by James Corrian in Muske-
gan, on Monday night, went to the Jail to-day
and asked permission to see the prisoner,
which was granted. Jewett then stepped TO
the door of the cell where the villain was con-
fined, took pistol from his cap and shot Cor
rian in the head. Jewett was then taken be-
fore Joshua Hoyt and admitted to bail. The
facts in the case are briefly, as follows: On
Monday last Corrian enticed the little girl,
only nine years old, into the woods, where he
kept her all night foully outraging her person.
Search was made for the child during the
night by her alarmed parents, but in vain.
About daylight the liend let her go, and she
came home, barely able to walk. Corr.an
was arrested on Tuesday morning and lodged
in Jail. The little girl died the following
morning. The outrage created great excite
ment and indignation at Muskegan o-night.
1t is feared the excited crowd will force en-
trance to the jail tonight and finish Corriap,
who is still living. The Governor ordered a
company of militia from Grand Rapids to act
in case Of necessity.

The Singer Still triumphant.

At the Vienna Exhibition the Singer re-
ceived the Medal of Merit, the Medal of Pro-
gress, and three other Medals for superiority
of productions. These are the highest Sew
ing Machine awards at Vienna. The Singer
received all the medals awarded to either of
the competing machines, and two medals
more than any other obtained. Then, in the
name of Truth, what is it that prompts people
to claim recommendations for the Diploma of
Honor. The fact is, no Diploma of Honor
has been given to any Sewing Machine Com
pany.
But UNNECESSARILY more valuable is the
WoRLD's AWARD as shown by sales-proved
by sworn returns to the owners of the prnci-
pal Sewing Machine Patents-whch last year
amounted to two hundred and nineteen thou
sand, seven hundred and fi.ty-eight (2l9, 75S)
machines, nine out Of ten of them being for
family use. This is over As, 900 more Sewing
Machines than were sold by any other COM
pany during the same period, and over one
quarter of all the machines sold in 1872.
These enormous sales are owing to the long
tested merits of the SINGER Machines, which
meet the wants of the public in superiority
and simplicity of constructions, and capability
for great variety and excellence of work.
That the users of Sewing Machines find these
desirable qualities in the SINGER beyond all
others, is shown by the sales above given,
aside from the awards OF International Juries,
either at home or abroad

boston Dry Goods Market.
FRIDAY, Sept. 5.


Business in dry goods circles has been more sat
factory and the encouraging prospects for healthy
fall trade impa-ts a cheerful feeling to agents and
ohb;9 1e Weston buyers are 10 the market and
are OF staple goods adapted to the wants of their
customers. The New England trade comes later,
the larger towns and cities Stocks in distributors
hands are small and with good crops and imprev.
ing prospects for be..er prices than last year for
our b:eadstEfs and provisions, the country is in q
condition to supply all their wants. Prices gener-
ally have been well sustained on all desirable
brands OF cottons and on few makes a slight ad-
vance has been obtained.
Brown cottons have been in fair request and me-
dunn weight goods have been taken to moderate
extent, both by jobbers and retailers.
Standard sheetings are unchanged, and there is
a fair supply.
There has also been good inquiry for bleached
cottons, and the popular brands are firm, and ac-
tive.
Drills remain quiet, and there is very little de-
mand either for the home trade or export.
Ticks arc unchanged, in price and there is
moderate demand for small lots at recent quota
tons.
Common stripes are quiet, but there continues to
be a very good enquiry for fancy shIrtings.
Denims are firm, but the demand 10 not brisk.
Cotton tianneis are selling fairly and the market
Is quite as active as any description of domes
tic fabrics.
Prints in medium colers and good work are read
lily taken, and the agents of the various mills have
no reason to complain of the lack Of trade.
American dress goods are more sought for, and
the stock Of moderate foreign goods is light
there is likely to be an active demand fol- the popu
lar makes
Ginghams are selling me derately, but there is no
special activity to note.
The demand for woollens at this season is gener.
ally confined to scal lots to jobbers, and az the
present time this baanch of trade is taking small
lots Of fine and overcoatings, but there
Is very little doing with the clothing trade
Flannels remain 1rm and fairly active.
Blankets are more sought for, and the market is
firm.
Carpets are in improved demand with prospects
Tor a fair trade.

having drank down nearly the entire quantity

will not forget that in this city they have a
howell that is a disgrace to the road and a

FROM BOSTON.
RACES.

Boston, 6. There was a very large crowd
OF people at Beacon park to witness the trot
for purse of $4,000 offered for the three IA
nous horses Judge Fullerton, Sensation and
Camors. In the pools Fullerton was the
favorite at $50 to $25 for the field. 1t was
expected that fast time would be made, as
Dan Mace said he should send Fullerton for
fast heat, but sudden change in the weather
coupled with a strong north wind prevented,
and although all heats were well contested
Fullerton's best time was 2.24. Fullerton
won in three straight heats, Sensation second
and Camors third.
There was a match for two thousand dol
lars between Dan Maces b m Blanche and
Bowens G Ben Flagler, mile heats, three in
five to harness. There was considerable bet
ting, Blanche being the favorite before the
start, at $50 to $50; but after the first heat
the odds changed to Flagler, and again to
Blanche at the close OF the second. 1t was
closely contested, Mace getting the second
heat and Flagler the other three.
