Reasons Why the Remington Family Sea-

lSt-Their simplicity. The use of them
is very easily acquired, and any girl OF
ordinary intellinence Is capable of keep

2d-The Construction OF the Machine Is
such that II may Be run at higher rate az
speed than any Shuttle Machine now In
the market. In factories where the speed

3d-Their Durability. Being so strong in

harsh, jarring movements and friction, so
common IN inferior machines. they Will
wear long time without repair Of any
kind.
ith-Their Adaptability. BY q simple
change OF the needle aud thread, they Ill
sew the finest cambria or the heaviest
leather. All the various kinds OF boots and
shoes, buckskin sewing, clothing, caps,
stays, shirts, nantes ana dress.mak Ing
can be done with equal facility.
5th-Tne shuttle being large IL Will! cany
a greai quantity Of thread-thus saving IN
IA great measure the trouble oI filling the
Dabhins.
6th-rhe means of getting nj the re-
quired TENSION ON the threads Is so simpl"
and complete, that even back stitch OH

orwbat is more commonly termed Fever
and Agae, with pain in the Loins and
through the Back, an indescribable
chilly sensation down the spine,
an irresistible disposition TO Hawn,
yawn, pain In the Eyes, witch
is Increased by moving them, a
blue tinge in the skin, and great listless-
ness and debility. VEGEr NE is a S afe and
Positive Remedy. II is compounded ex.
clusively from the Juices or carefully se-
lected barks and herbs, and SO strongly

Cieansers of the Blood that Is or can be
put together. VEGETINE does not stop
with breaking Chills and Fever, but 1t eX-
tends its won 4erful influence into every
part Of the human system, and entirely
rradicales every faint OF disease. VICE.
TINE GOES not act as powerful cathartic,
to debilitate the bowels and cause the pa
tient to dread other serious complaints
which must inevitably follow, buut 1t
strikes AT the FOOT Of disease by PURIFYING
the blood, restores the Liver and Kidneys
to healthy action, Regulates the Bowels,
and assists Nature in performing all OF
the duties which devolve upon her.
Thousands OF invalids are suffering To
day from the effect of Powerful Purgative
NoStrums, Frightfnl quantities OF Qui-
nine, and Poison doses OF Arsenic, neither
of which ever have, or eYtr could, reach
the true cause OF their complaint.

re. Petty, late member of the Ken

yery courteous and agreeable gentleman.
At the late municipal election an en-.
tirely new Council was elected without
opposition, and it is expected by all in
terested in the welfare of the town, that
this Council will ascertain as soon as pos.
sible. whether corporation taxes can be
collected ;if not, the sooner new act of
INCORPORATION be obtained the better No
repsirs of either streets or sidewalks
have been made since last summer, and
surely the appearance OF both indicate
need of improvement; as also does our
wharf, up which reasonable load can.
not be hauled without great labor to the
teams employed City fsthers-we had
almost written conscril't fathers-give at
iention.
Our Agricultural Works have been
running continually, Sundays excepted,
since commencement, and every day
shipments are made by river and rail,
while on the other hand our rolling
mill has been almost always idle. The
chief difficulty seems to be in getting
roller who will stay. Several Pitts
burgh rollers have been employed, but
thew generally do Moundsville up in a
few days. The present one is from
Wheeling. We hope he may tarry
longer than the custom has been.
The decline in grain has inclined the
farmers to sell and not wait any longer
for advanced prices. The report from
all parts of Marshall county is that the
coming wheat crop will be good. r

dog by his side, to whom he threw tne
titbits from his brown paper cornueoPla'
az affectionate and vivacious and cares
ing in manner and speech as young
collegisn at Saratoga Lake, feedlng nus
lady love with Lyonnaise potatoes or
boribons, lest she might soil her groves.
Down the Bowery, down Chatham, down
Roosevelt street until he reached the
"Dop College" of Gibson, where Squills
pct was duly registered as boarder.
When Bodkin reached his office next
morning, he found Squills waiting, in
feverish excitement, and in bad temper.
"Of all extraordinary pieces OF sharp
practice. Mr.. Bodkin, l ever heard o.
that levy OF yours, yesterday, was the
meanest and wont. Levy on mans
dogl Good heavens! you might as well
levy on my beard!
"And 90 would !" retorted the smiling
Bodkin, "if the beard were OF salaole
color"
For an hour there was long and loud
talking, much gesticulation, and some
profanity, and it ended in the retreat OF
Squills, swearing that he would never
nav a bill to q man who resorted to such
q despicable trick. .'s
But Squills repented. A month alter
he called on Bodkin's lawyer, with Sc
ductlve proposition, which, he was conn.,
dent, would be entirely satisfactory. de
would pav the bill, if Bodkin would as
sumo the costs. But the lawyer was eA-
asperatingly Indifferent and insolent-
didn't know any thing about him nor his
dog, nor didn't care. All Squills had to
do was to paw his bill and the costs. Let
him 90 and see the sheriff. He wouldn't
bother himself about any compromises
And when Squills became indignant at
this top lofty treatment, the lawyer open
cd the door, and told him to get out be-
fore he was kicked out. Squills Left
disconsoate Squills!
