Anew Sewing Machine.

L. NJ. Heery, a mill superintendent Of
Hinslale, Mass, is having 4 simple sew
ing machine made for him by 4 local
mechanic from design for which he se-
cured patent several years ago, but
which he has never before attempted to
place before the public. The machine
has an arm and stand like the ordinary
machine, but instead Of single needle Il
has three with three separate bars TO work
them, but tho number OF needles can 10
increased ad libitum, as can also the size
OF the machine. Each needle sews a sep
arate seam, sewing either straight or zig
zag, or in other ornamental shapes.
These various changes are said to DO as
easily regulated as the stitch on the COM
mon machine. All the needles can make
either the lock or chain stitch, rs IL is 80
fixed as 10 use tho shuttle or hook, and
this is managed by very simple device.
It will ornament the backs OF gloves, shoes,
corsets, the headings on cloth, ETC., finish
quilt or comforter or make shirt bo-
som at one passage through the machine,
no matter how many servings or lines oil
stitching are required. Straw mating
can be finished in like manner, also the
quilting on tho inside Of coats, and, in fact,
any kind Of work requiring any number
OF servings can be finished at once on this
machine. 1t has been examined by sew
ing.machinc experts and other mechanics
who praise it both for its simplicity and
variety OF work, as.welI as for iis mechani.
cal neatness and ingenuity.-Spriagfeld

The Panic OF 1857.

The present August reminds us thai
just twenty years ago began the great
panic Of 1857. The five years previous
had been highly prosperous, and general
system Of overtrading and speculation
had sprung into existance. The panic
was as sudden as thunder out Of clear
sky, 1t began in Chlcago where money
had always been scarce, but an uncxpec-
ted stringency ledto the scare, which was
photographed to this city. This produces
"feeling" in Wall street, and Sigh
tension took place. In the first week it
August the Ohio Lille and Trust Compan,
failed, and this occasioned thrill o
anxiety. This company had for severa
years paid dividend Of s per cent. pei
annum, and was considered the best clasl
Of stock. The investigation which follow
ed showed that its business had been Dor
rowing money at 7 per cent. AM
lending it at 90 to Western railroads
The object Of these loans was TO enable
these borrowers 10 mako dividends
When this rotten method was made known
the panic increased. Michigan Southern
which had been paying these fraudulent
dividends, sunk 10 ~, and Delaware
Lackawnnna & Western declined to 7.
The affect Of this panic was felt FOL
three years, and it was generally admit
ted that it was mere scare, and NIGH
have been avoided were il not human
nature to rush into danger, instead Of re-
naming cool and self-possesScd. The
panic Of 1873, however, was OF VERY
different character, and therefore, its con-
sequences have been more destructive ant
more protracted. That those consequent
ces are now reaching II termination il
that darkest hour which precedes day
light is general expectation. One feat.
ure Of this is found in the immense crop
which will soon reach this market.

OUR CLEVELAND LETTER

The 'Forcst City" is unusually quiet,

appear more sanguine OF the near APP

were going TO strike has been going the
rounds for several days past. Here the
railroad officials expect nothing OF the
kind, and are confident the "cruel war is
over"
The Cleveland, Pittsburg & Wheeling
Railroad had as little trouble as any road
in the country, and sustained no damage
along the line. The men for n time de-.
cliued working, but there were no demon
strations OF violence. This happy cOndi.
ton OF affairs is accounted for by stating
the fact that the Superintendent OF the

esteemed and respected by the employees,
