-THE HOWE SEWING MACHINE.- The following, which we take from the London Courier, England, is conclusive evidence of the superior ity of this perfect sewing machine
 Among the many who have been the recipients of medals and hOnors at the exhibition at Paris, none stand so high on the list as the cele- brated inventor and manufacturer of sewing. machines, Elias Howe, Jr. The Emperor, who shows Great tact and discrimination in these matters, has made Mir. Howe n knight of the Legion of honor, and the jury on sewing machines who had the task of testing and award ing prizes for excellence, unani- mously decided that Mir. Howe was not only entitled to great honor as the inventor of the sewing machine, brt that he carried off the palm as Il manufacturer as well, and to hi II was awarded, accordingly, the first of the only two gold medals assign ed to this class.
 The numbers who have called on Mir. Howe at his office, 6i Regent street, to offer their congratulations, prove that many besides the Emper- or and the jury acknowledge the justice of the claim.'' See adver- tisement.

To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 We must educate, we must ed ucate! Who must educate? Ev- cry State, of course, but Arkansas especially.
 The question is HOW shall we educate?
 Let the Public School system be put into thororgh operation, prac- tically. Let us have more school houses and better ones. More teachers and better qualified. Teachers that are willing to beai and forbear. Teachers that love the children, and willing to work not merely for money, but for tho good of the children and the pros

perity of our country. Not but that we have many such. but that we need many more. Neither need we go to other States to get them, but in our own State, even in our own county, there may be found talent that can not be sur passed. All we need is to culti- vate and refine this talent. This can only be done by educating the children. It is upon the youth of the land that we must rest our hopes.
 Let there be High Schools, Scm- inaries, and Colleges. The com mon schools are for the masses. These for special purposes-some for the State, some for the church. But let the rudiment9 of an edu- eaton De gwen to the masses, and these of necessity will soon tol- low.
 Shall we hope for this? Yes! and that too, in the near future. May the time soon come when ev- cry man shall feel it his duty to give his influence in this direct lon. If we educate, we will pros per; if we do not sad will be our fate. o. H. TUCKER, County Examiner.

two young men Rev. MT. Pledger and Ambrose Williams were some little in advance of the elder Williams and Mathe5y, and when they arrived at DoagIasyille, they dismounted to rest and to await the arrival of those in the rear. Mir. Pledger stepped over some 30 yards to black smith shop open at both ends, and was conversing with the smith and cracking nuts, when the attention of young Williams was attracted by the report of q gun shot, and in looking towards the shop discovered his associate in the act of falling. He started to his assistance but was met by the smith who implored him not to go there, if he did, he would be killed. By this time Burton Williams. tand Matheny rode up and by the assistance of several of the neighbors, living about the place, carried the wounded man to the residence of Mir. Wallace, and dispatched mes- senger for Doctor. After doing all they could for suffering hu- manity, Mir. B. Williams and Ma thcny, walked out of the house, some few paces of and informed a small squad of men, who had got together, who they were &c., &c. The citizens appeared to deplore the act and had started of to their respective avocations, when the report of two guns were heard and an exclamation from both Mathcny and Burton Will jams, l am shot, which proved to be true.
 They got into the house in some way and awaited with suf- fering patience for the arrival of the Doctor who when he arrived commenced to examine the wound of Mir. Plcdger. The ball struck him at the point of the hip-went through him and lodged in his backbone-no hope. The next was Mir. Williams, shot nearly in the same place but did not enter the hollow, went around under the skin and come out at the backbone, a frightful but not dan gcrous wound. The next was Rev. w. II. Matheny, shot in the right side, did not enter the flesh very deep but made an'ugly place.
 These men were all shot from the top of the mountain, Douglas vile, being situate at the base.
 The wounded made some in quiry as to why they were to be murdered, shot uown like dogs, when they were strangers and had malice toward none. They were told by the citizens that those who had done the shooting would feel DEEPLY MORTIFIED when they should learn that they had fired upon inofensive Prechers instead of the U. $. Marshal and his posse.
 It appears that Deputy Cline and his posse had visited that section on several occasions, and taken in about 20 of the illicit distillers-some are now at the Rock in jail, others at home on bail, hence their bitter hatred toward every stranger who goes through that valley.
 It IS not my province to com ment on this dastardly act, but trust the strong arm of the law may be brought to bear, and that ''no guilty man escape"
 The above facts received from one of the wounded and IS sub- stantially true.
