Remington Sewing Machine.
WITH HEMMER, TELLER, BRAIDER
AND GUAGE.
Iron Stand with Black Walnut Top...s65 90
Same Machine with Drop Leaf.-....... 6S 90

Reasons Why the Remington Family Se,O.
ina Machines are Superior to
all others.
lst-Their Simplicity. The use OF them
is very easily acquired, and any girl OF
ordinary intellinence is capable OF keep
ing them in order.
2l-The Construction OF the Machine is
such that II may bel run NJ higher rate Of
speed than any shuttle Machine now in
the market. In factories where the speed
has been registe red, over 100 stitches per
minute have been attained with ease.
3d-Their Durability. Being so strong in
all their parts. and lifted with great me-
chanical niclty, and being free from the
harsh Earring movements and friction, so
common in inferior machines, they VIII
wear long time without repair of any
kind.
ith-Their Adaptability. BY a simple
change of the needle and thread, they will
sew the finest cambria or the heaviest
leather. All the various kinds of boOtsand
shoes, buckskiu sewing, clothing, caps,
stays, shirts, mantles and dress.making
Gamble done with equal facility.
5th-The Shuttle being large IL vii! ca-ly
great quantity OF thread-thuS saving in
a great measure, the trouble OIL filling the
bobbins.
6th-The means of Getting 4 the re
Quired TENSION on the threads so simple
and complete, that even bac stitch on
Roth SIDES of the material (Which will not
rip or raveD CIR be readily obtained.
7th-They will sew with equal facility

Spool Cotton.
Sth-They have no rotary cams, cog
wheels or lever arms 10 make noise, run
hard, or to get out of order.
BY the new and peculiar movement of
needle and shuttle and ;hread-cVntrolling
parts, there is less wear or strain on the
thread used. The thread being set in the
material uninjured, the work Is therefore
better and 81 onger than that done on any
othsr IN achine.

great benefit that l cannot find words TO

prove all that was claimed for IL. rartic-
ularly in cases of a debilitated or impov-
erished state OF the hood its effects are re :
ally nderful; and for all complaints
arising from an impure state OF the

EASTER SUNDAY.

Editors of the Register:
In your paper Of the 14th ult. is an
article taken from the Lancaster ET-
press, in which the writer tells us how 70
settle the vexed question in regard 70
Easter. He says "the common or solar
day. upon Which the Easter calculation IS
based is measured by the return OF the
sun to the meridiaR-that is, begins and
ends at II o'clock noonT Italics are
mine.) And for that reason he claims
that, as the vernal moon, this year, fulled
after noon on Saturday (Apr. Sth) IN be-
came necessary to defer Easter apother
week, i. e., to the 10th of April.
Now. will the same writer, or some
one equally well informed, De klnd
enough to tell us phen, aohere and BY 'ohose
authority the "Easter calculation was
based on that ruler 1t must have been
a recent occurrence, as we find, by REFER
ence to past records, that In 1910 the
yernal moon fulled on Saturday, March
9th. at IL o'clock and AZ minutes NJ,
and the next day was Easter S''lday!
Again, in 1869 the moon tulled on bat
urday, March 9th, at A o'clock ana IL
minutes p. NJ, and the next day was
Easter SundayU And still later. in
1873, the moon fulled on Saturday, April
18th, at A O'Clock and 40 minutes p NJ,
and the next day was Easter S'indayN!
Now, in 1876 this year., the moon fulled
on Saturday. April 9th, at 2 o'clock and
43 minutes P. M. lat New York, and
the next day was not Easter ounaay'h'
Why? -
The truth is, Mr.. Editor, as we be-
lleve, some men Numbered in their cal
culations this year and they, with Others
who have committed the rselves, are try
ing to explain matters in this way.
April 9th ,ods Easter Sunday, and we
could tell you why, but our article
would be too long Truly. IMRAH.

The doubtful position which, under re-
cent legal decisions, is given to the bill Of
lading as negotiable instrument has at
tracted considerable comment recently.
In late case in Ohio the court laid it
down distinctly that common carrier
was not bound by the act of an agent is
suing fraudulent or imperfec: bill Of
lading. Other decisions in different
States have affirmed the. doctrine that
whoever takes bill Of lading does so, in
the eyes of the law, with full knowi-
edge of all equities that may exist be-
tween the original parties. Ac-
cording to this it has none Of
the valuable properties of a negotiable
instrument. Whenever an advance is
made upon its security,a perllous amount
Of confidence must be given to its valid
ity, or laborous investigation made of
the circumstances Of its issue. In other
words, the bill of lsding holds the dubious
place in business that was occupied by
the promissory notes and the bill of ex.
change when the common law OF
England denied them the quality
OF negotiability. Parliament finally
interviewed and gave them by law
their present character. The first
Legislature in this country to recognize
the need for enacting negotiability for
the bill of lading is that of Mary
land All bills of lsding, warehouse re-
ceipts, and securities of that nature, exc
cuted in Maryland, or which, being exc
cutcd elsewhere, provide for delivery in
that State, are by recent law made ne
gotisble Instruments, the transfer OF
which conveys title to any bona tide
holder for value, free from any rights or
equities existing between the original
parties, or other prior holders. We hope
that timely legislation will be followed

The Philadelphia Times says the
money market runs along in the old
grooves. The supply of money al all
sources is more than amply sufficient to
meet all demands, immediate and pro
spective. Business paper is made to q
very limited extent. All the life that
is infused into it comes from the specula-
tive class; others having little use for
money are slow to avail themselves Of

John and Norman, aged respectfully
about IL and 10 years, sons of III. G..
Swiger living near here, were at work
on Wednesday the 18th, on their fathers
farm in clearing, the father and
mother both being Trombone. They were
found during the morning by another
boy named Cornell, who induced John
Swiger to 60 to his (CornelPs) home, a
short distance away-and get musket
with which to kill some squires. After
returning he sat the gun by the side Of
q boy, and when be went to it shortly
after, he BY some means fred the musket
being loaded with shot, blew away a
considerable portion of his skull and
brains, The two boys carried him
to his fathers house and notified
the parents and others. A physician
was called, but nothing could be done,
This occurred acout o'clock p. NJ, and
the boy lived until p. NJ, when he died.
This is the account about rs given by the
boys, though Norman Swiger says that
Young Cornell, told him Immediately after
it occurred that if he ever told it he would
kill him. The boys seemed so frightened
that they could not tell any straight
stories about it: bat your humble CORES
pendent was on the ground, and. viewing
all things in an unprejudicial light, thinks
this is about the correct thing. His
friends appear to think their was foul
play.
A little daughter of Captain J. Fl.
Radabaagh, aged seven years, fell from a
high fence, few days since, and pulling
a heavy rail down with her, brok her arm
and dislocated it at the elbow at the same
time. DR., Morgan was called on and
rendered the necessary assistance. She
issnow rapidly recovering.
REV. j. b. Bristow, late Of Wheeling,

Tho recent execution OF Wesley
Jones, by hanging suggests the inqui-
ry whether public executions Of cr.mi-
nails are not more demOrali2ing than
beneficial in their effect. This impOr-
tant question has been much discussed
elsewhere, and in some States and
countries experience has proven that
the effect OF private executions in the
jail yard, has been better moral eff
feet on the criminal class than public
ones.
The great objections to public eXecu.
lions are that the occasion is made
II holiday of aud the spectacle
Itself has debasing and bruIaliHing
tendency upon those witnessing it,
The criminal excited and eXhilrated
by the crowd, catches species Of en-,
thusiasm, he becomes the hero Of the
OCCASION, he Is an actor playing to an
immense audience. Buoyed up hy
their presence, death has not the ter.
rors it has to the man who is quietly
hung in the Jail yard. There is no sen
of upturned faces there waiting for his
speech. There is no opportunity fOl
making II great hit and bringing
down the house. The murderer is not
privileged to spout about his fitness fol
heaven and his certainty of going
there. ~ a general rule, men about
to be hung talk like prosecuted saint,
on the gallOws, and they awaken 4
morbid and false sentiment Of sympa
thy. They make it appear that /
wrong has been done them. Some o
them are polite enough to acquiesce il
the justice of their sentence, but insin
uate that they are loss to society
when hung. Hanging them is takinl
Il liberty not warranted toward indi
viduals of their sudden and extreme
piety.
