The Singer Manufacturing Company realizing
the peculiar need of a reliable sewing machine
house in Ottawa, with ample facilities of capital
and experience not afforded by local agencies OF
dealers" possessing little interest in the gen.
eral business, have leased the store and basement
in the postofficc block, corner Of Madison and
Columbus streets, and are fixing it up elegantly
for branch Office tributary to their large man.
ufactories in the east The employees already
number near twenty in this county, and still
more are wanted, and adjacent counties will be
made dependencies upon the Ottawa Office. The
popularity of the Singer machine is such in this
county that its sales equal in number all of the
others combined, as is well proven by the sworn
sales of the twenty manufacturing firms, to the
owners of the sewing machine patents. Last
year the Singer outsold collectively eighteen OF
its would be rivals, five thousand and five hun.
bred and scventy.two machines.

As proof positive of the efficacy OF Advertising
as well as of the confidence placed in any an
nounct ment made by Mr.. Cullen, We are pleased
to state that he has enjoyed lively trade during
the past week. The announcement that his
mammoth stock would be disposed of at reduced
prices brought many customers to his place OF
business. Their announcement to friends as to
the bargains they had obtained brought still
more, until yesterday his store room was as busy
as a bee hive. The fact shat his stock is the
best selected, and offered at lower prices than
elsewhere in the city, is more apparent and we
doubt not that before the expiration Of his thirty
days sale, his stock will be disposed Of. Rernem-
Der his announcement, and also that whatever
H. j. Gilen announces, II. J. Gilen will perform.

KILLED BY A BULL.

Mr.. Benz. 7. Brown, an old and re-
spected citizen of Dane Co., last week,
attempted to lead large Durham
bull to water, about thirty rods from
his house, While returning the bull
charged upon him and knocked him
down with terrible blow Of his horns
and head. Mr.. Brown succeeded in
rising, when the animal struck him
again in the head and breast, tearing
his clothes and intiicting deep wounds
in his flesh. Mr.. b. had presence of
mind enough to wrap the rope with
which he was leading around atree,
and thus held him fast while lie HIM
self lay harmless on the ground. His
wife, thinking that his stay was too
long. went in search of him, and being
guided by his groans soon found him.
She by his directions made the rope
fast to the tree, to secure the animal.
Medical aid was at once summoned
but the wounds were too severe, he
died in a few hours.

\ BOSTON WOMAN Byr.HERED
FOR HEX RINGS.

The Club isn't quite perfect yet,
at least IT affords examples of crime
whose brutality and harefaceness
would disgrace Chicago. Last week
a man from that city. of exemplary
morality, called at the residence of
a respectable lady, who. thinking
he had some business with the fam
lily, admitted him into the house.
She then went on with her house
hold duties, and on going into the
cellar was followed by the stranger
ruiian, and most brutally murdered.
When found, the body was horribly
manSled, and her month filed SO
tightly with dirt and gravel picked
up from the floor OF the cellar. that
it almost drfed removal. The
scamp then stripped her fingers of
their rings, and carried them d.
rectly across the street 10 saloon
and traded them Tor whisky. The
rings were discovered and Identified,
and the murderer arrested, aud will
doubtless share the fate that Massa-
chuSetts prepargs H.. al such men.

TERRIBLE TRAIN COLLISION.

In consequence of the telegraph
operator at Tyrone failing to deliver
the proper telegraph order to the
conductor Of the east bound train,
the passenger train which left Bur-
lington at 1:20 Saturday evening,
collided with the Atlantic express
coming east, at curve in the road,
three miles east of Tyrone. Both
trains were running at their usual
speed, and both engine and baggage
car Of No. 2 were completely
wrecked. The baggage and ex-
press car, which was loaded with
silver bullion to the amount of
s5,O00,O00, held the track, but was
crushed by the weight of the coaches
running upon it. The baggage man
was killed, and in the express car
was a corpse bound for the east,
that was horribly crushed and man
gled. The condition of No. | was
very similar The express passen-
ger was killed instantly. The bag
gage ana express cars and coaches
were torn to splinters, and the great
wonder is that SO few lives were lost
three being killed and five seri-
ously injured.

GERMANY AND THE POPE.

The Church of Rome is now re-
-uded as the only enemy which
labors against the unity of the Ger
man Empire. The authorities of
that government are now getting in
earnest, and propose to suspend the
authority of the Pope, unless he
gives up his claim of right to inter
fero in the laws of the Empire. If
he refuses to relinquish these claims
the blow will soon be struck that
will weaken his power in Germany
forever. There is talk of reviving
the old Prussian law, preventing
the Pope from having intercourse
with the Catholic clergy, except
through the government. When
such shall have been brought about
the Vatican will be overlooked al
the German capital, and the Church
property given into the hands OF
the people, aud every ultramontane
bishop viii be deposed.
