The QEES OF ALL SEWING MAoHISEs.-
In speaking of the merits of the Wilson
Shuttle Sewing Machine, it is sufficient for
us to say that we think the invention of
this machine marks one of the most impor-
tant eras in the hietory of this country;
and when we consider the influence it has
upon the social well-being of the masses, it
is difficult to conceive of an invention of
more importance. It has a beautiful, noise
less movment; it makes the genuine "Lock'
Stitch" alike on both sides, and does to
protection all kinds of plain and fine sew
ing it needs no commendation; its rapid
sales, the increasing demand, and the many
fattering testimonials from those who have
used il, is sufficient proof of its merits.
The want of a sewing machine is deeply
felt in every household, and as the Wilson
Shuttle Sewing Machine, on account OF its
extreme simplicity and less csst of manu-
facture, is sold at a much lower price than
all other frst-class machines, it is meeting
with the extensive patronage that it so
Justly deserves. Machines will be delivered
at any Railroad Station in this county.
free of transportation charges, if ordered
through the Company's Branch House At
327 & 329 Superior St. Cleveland Ohio.
They send an elegant catalogue and
chrome circular free on application.

agents.

MIsBEHAyIoR IN CHURCH.-The
Altoona RaufcaI speaks as follows of a
recent charge delivered to u jury by
Judge Dean:
"Judge Dean, in charging the jury
in tie case Of disturbance by party
of half grown youug men, Of Lutheran
protracted meeting, near Springfield ore
mines, made some very sensible and
pertinent remarks which ought to have
been heard By many more boys and
young men in this city. The court said
substantially that while there was no
establs he'd church in this country,
there was law to guarantee to every
man or women the right to worship as
they saw proper, and furthermore,
that to create such a disturbance of
congregation as our statutes contemplate
it was not necessary that riot be crea-
ted; but that LOUD taking, loud laugh
ing, unnecessary aad unreasonable
going into or out of church, or shut
fling of feet during services, to the an
noyance of the worshippers, was a distur-
bance aud a misdcmeanor in law. lie
further said that there was no law tc
compel anybody to go to church, bur
when in church all must act properly
and decently. The charge was a ser
mon that many will do well to profit by
and those to whom it was specially di-
rected long remember"

Lights and Shadows of New York
Life; or the Sights and Sensations of
the Great City" A work descriptive
Of New York City in all It's various
phases. Its Spleudors aud Wretched-
ness; Its High and Low Lie; It's Mar.
BILE Palaces and Dark Dens, Its Attrac-
lions and Dangers; It's Rings and
Frauds; Its Leading Men aud Polite
ians; It's Adventures; Its Mysteries
and Crimes. BY James D. McCabe, Jr.
What Paris is to the Frepchman,
or London to the Briton, New York
is to the American. 1t is not only
the Metropolis, but it is the chief at
traction upon this continent, the great
centre to which men and women resort
for both business and pleasure, and as
such is source OF never-iailing
interest. OF late years several at
tempts have been made to reproduce
its varied attractions in book form.
The most successful result of these
efforts is the book now before US.
The author has had unusual facilities
to see every feature Of the great city,
and has written the work with an en-
thusiasm which is apparent in every
page. He has not merely produces
a sensational story, but has given US
a record of actual facts, Of which lie
is personally cegnizant.
The book is as fascinating and abb
torbing as novel, and were it not for
the evidence he furnishes, We should
be tempted to believe that he has
carried US into to the realm Of fiction
He tells us the history of the great
city which has grown 10 be the most
remarkable in America, and relntes
its old traditions with zest and humor.
He introduces us to all classes of peo-
pie, and initiates US into their ways
and manner of lie. He brings us
face to face with great merchants and
bankers, actors, editors, working
women, ballet girls, thieves, gamb.
lers, sailors, quacks, tiramen, and a
host of others. lie delights US with
his sketches of ths better and
brighter side of city life, of tn,
genius, enterprise, charity yand human
lty of the great city, and appals u;
vita his thrilling accounts of the
darker and more terrible side Of the
life he is delineatirS.
A truthful picture of New York
life cannot be otherwise than deeply
interesting. Our author has sue
ceeded admirably 10 his task. and We
predict for his book large sale L
ia brim full of useful information
brilliant and fascinating, aud all en-
phatic warning against the vices 0
the city. 1t is pure and 'oity in tone
and while it discusses fully many Q
the darker sides of city lie, il doe
50 with delsacy and canGor. An in
tercsting feature OF the book is
powerfully written history of th
Tammary Ring frauds with sketohc
of the actors therein.
1t is comprised in one large cctav
volume Of $50 pages, illustrated wit
nearly 200 fine engravingS Of note
places, life and scenes in New York
and published by the National Pull
lishing Co, of Philadelphia
The low price at which the work
Issued, brings it within the reach {
all, and no one who wants to kno

to buy this book.

THE recent revolution in Spain viii
undoubtedly shange the bearing Of the
United States toward that country.
Spain has not yet settled the Virginius
affair on the terms to which she agreed.
So long as she was Republic our coun-
try did not press her very sorely. Now
that she has changed into monarcy it
is understood that the President has
determined to be urgent in his demands
for an immediate settlement. We also
think our Government viii now eyinee q
more active sympathy for Cuba, mas
much as the re-establishment of mon
archy over that island would assuredly
make the people of the United States
more DESTROYS to aid the struggling Gu
bans.

DAILY COMMERCIAL TIMES. first
number of this Liberal Democratic jour
nal made it's appearance on Saturday.
It is edited by DIR. WIGHT, well-known
as the father of the Reform Democratic
party of Wisconsin. It is also known
that there has been a good deal of dis
satisfaction in this city, and in other
parts of the state at the course which
the News pursued during the Late can
vass, particularly on the railroad ques-
ton, and most of the Reform leaders do
not hesitate to say that the News was
the cause of their defeat in the election
of 1874. The Commercial Times is the
natural out-growth of that feeling.
DR.. Wightis a learned man-one OF
the most so in the Northwest and his
editorials are elaborate, able and thought
full. His design in trying to iberaize
the Bonrbonism in the Democratic par
ty of Wisconsin is a good one, but it
will be an uphill task, as nearly all the
offices which have been given out dur
ing the past two years are in the hands
of the Bourbon section of the party !;
and the News naturally does their bid
ding. But atl desperanduna is the motto
of Dr. Wight and his associates, and the
public will rejoice that he now is in a
position to direct the Democratic party
of Wisconsin, MilUuukee Sentinel.

SENTINEL PRINTING CoMPANY.-The
annaul election for directors of this prin
ting company is, as we learn, to take
place on Monday, the 4th of January.
The present board of directors, of which
n. S. Murphey is president, will be
voted for by a majority Of the present
shareholders, and therefore, we sup
pose will be elected, unless an injunc-
ton in some form, on the part Of Mr..
Thomson, should be served. But the
present board of directors regard such
an event as highly improbable, as Judge
Small has signifed his attention to give
both parties hearing before the in
junction is determined. Mr.. Thomson
thinks that should the $4,000 stock be
enjoined or temporarily suspended, his
stock of $50, 700 would give him a con-
trolling interest in the board, and he
could elect himself president, and such
board of directors as would be in &C.
cord with his views.
The question of a recei7ership is kept
in allegiance, as that is the last card upon
which Mr.. Thomson relies to get posses
sion of the Sentinel printing company.
II it appears to the Judge that the affairs
of the Sentinel have been SO buddy man
aged as to seriously injure the stock, he
can appoint a receiver, who will have
absolute control over the whole organi
cation. = Wisconsin.
