GoNE.-Some family will miss t heir sewing
machine to day. Yesterday afternoon job
wagon was driving up Congress Street at flu
rious rate. As it neared India Street, sewing
machine, which was in the lear of the wagon,
was seen to rock slightly, but the driver did not
heed it. and the rock it made it did not stop
until it struck the ground. The driver did not
notice his loss for some time, but when he did
he hastily retraced his steps and begun to try
to put the thing together, but it was slow work,
and the knight of the whip scraped up the
pieces and drove off.

SAFETY SHOE FOR CARs.-Mr S. w. Emery
of this city has been in Rockland this week ex-
hibiting his safety shoe, which he applies to
cars to prevent them leaving the track when
one wheel is displaced. The model was on ex-
hbition at the Industrial Exhibition and at
tracted great deal attention. 1t was tried on
the Knox q Lucoln road last Tuesday. The
following is the test to which it was subjected:
An engine was attached to platform car
which had been built especially for this trial by
the owners of this patent. This car has but
four wheels. The car was loaded with about
two tons of ships knees and then placed in
front of the engine which started at speed of
thirty miles an hour. upon a down grade. The
car was then unshackled from the engine and
let 90 by itself. Near the foocof the grade it
was thrown from the track by switch. 1t
ran about seventy feet and stopped with only
the wheel off from the track which had been
thrown off. This test was regarded by the
railroad men present asa very severe and high
" successful one.

A BAD ScARE.-A young lady in this city re
Gently saw mark on tn paint under the door
bell at her fathers residence. OF course burg
lars were the first thing thought of, and she
hastened to alarm the neighbors. On reaching
the next door on the street what should she
find but just such mark, and in exactly the
same place. Her next step was to notify the
neiehbors far and near to look out for burglars
Acting on the impulse of the moment she
started for the house of a friend and what met
her gaze upon arriving at the door but the same
white mark under the door bell. She of course
notified the family that the burglars had been
around marking the houses they intended to
enter the next night. The whole family then
set about mailing down windows. &c. Arrange
ments were made to watch for the villains at
night, but just as they were perfecting their
arrangements modest young canvasser was
seen to pass up on the other side of the street
and, as he called, to make a little mark under
each door bell. 1t is sufficient to say that the
family decided that it would not be necessary
to watch for burglars that night

MORE FOSTERS WANTED.

Careful readers of the Chicago Tribune

sertion that its compliments to Republi-
can politicians, whether in or out of Of
therefore, he readily inferred that when
it speaks well of a Republican Congress
man, the rommendation is well deserv-
ed In this light we must regard the
following touching the reelection of Hon.
Charles Foster, which we clip from that
paper of the 18th inst. Here it is.
There was one Republican in the Forty
third COns ress who was not afraid of
Butler. When The man with the evil
eye was defying all attempts to investi-
gate the Sanborn scandal, and was driv-
ing the House before him, the raw Rep
resentative from the Sandusky District
put the bully down. He held his own
against the scathing repartee of the Es-
sex politician He could not be cowed.
His word duel with Butler gave him a
national reputation almost instantly,
When he was preparing his speech on the
Sanborn investigation, Butler grew
alarmed. He sent friends TO him to ex-
hort him not to hurt the Republican
party. The speech was revised half a
dozen times before it could be toned
down sufficiently TO suit the 60 o-betweens.
Even then, its delivery made Butler
sick. Throughout the session, Foster
held his ground. He was the deadly
enemy of Butler and Butlerism. He
partly filed the place which Gen. Farms
worth left vacant. The ability he show
ed was unexpected. He is a country
merchant, and was never I'm politics
until he ran for Congress. His re-elec-
tion at u time of Republican disaster
shows that the people appreciate him.
lie got scant encouragement from other
party-leaders. His reckless habit of
speaking the truth. whether it hit Dem
ocrat or Republican, was out of place in
Washington last year. He had to con-
tend with AN opposition flushed with the
hope of victory. Under such circmnstan-
ces his reelection is no common compli-
ment. We rejoice that he received it.
Ii makes small difference what party
collar a man may wear so long as he is
himself beyond the reach of the party
lash. Congress needs more Fosters. If
the Ohio one does as well in the Forty
fourth as he has in the Forty-third Con-
gress, we trust that he will 90 back to
the Forty-tifth with rouSing majority.

We notice. since the election, that the
Cleveland Head finds it necessary to
explain some things which that paper
had said during the Crusade" against
the ladies who felt themselves called up
ON 10 pray in the saloons of that city.
Our own GLEssNER could not wait un-
til after the election, but stepped down
and out" by saying that he did not re
member calling the praying ladies ''gad-
abouts and do-nothings" We then said,
that at our leisure we should try to re-
fresh his memory. In his issue of Fri

was not the best method TO allay the
evils OF intemperanee, stood aloof But
there were others-and the edito-s ,f a.

portunity to ridicule, find fault wit,,

of the Courier exists and people have
reasonably retentiye memories.
