FIRST PREMIUM.

The display of Singer Sewing Machines at
the Carbon County Fair, by the agent \. +.
Kutz, was one Of the most attractive features
of the exhibition. OF the merits ofthe Sing
er sewing machine it is hardly necessary to
speak. The fact that last year 2S2, ,Sl2 ma
chimes were sold is a sufficient guarantee of
their excellence. 1t does all kinds of work,
heavy and fine sewing, from fine Swiss to
heavy beaver cloth. The specimens of work
done in the presence ofspectators are varied,
ranging from plain to the most difficult and
elaborate sewing, Visitors are at once de
lighted and amazed at the variety of work
capable of being done on this machine, and
no better proof of its superiority is needed
than the fact that the machine has been and
is steadily increasing in popularity and fu-
vor. No risk is run in purchasing the Sing
er, which is warranted for five years, and
sold on the most easy terms. Mr.. 4. +.
Kutz's office is on Bank street, this borough,
where the fullest Information can be had at
all times. Mr.. Ilouser, of Allentown, was
present at our fair, and assisted in proclaim
ing the merits Of the Singer, which was
awarded the first premium for sewing ma
chimes.

"a widow and Her Child"

A singular instance of superstition came to
light not long since, which is thus related /:
Going into a neighbor's house, one day last
week, | found one of the children suffering
Sfrom severe cough,and expressed my opn-
ion that it was n case in which medical as
sistance should be obtained. The mother of
the boy agreed that 1t was very bad but said
that before calling in doctor she intended
to try cure that she had long used in SINH
lar cases, and never found to fail On being
pressed to communicate the prescription she
gravely informed me that the charm con
sisted in HALE's lIoNEY or IIoREHoUND AND
TAR, and that it could be obtained at all
the druggists. Price so cents and 81. Great
saving by purchasing large size. Sold by all
druggists.
Rock FALLS, July 20, 1873.
c. n. CRITTENTON-DEAR SIR: | have
been using your HALE's HONEY or HoRE-
HOUND AND TAR for bronchial affection, and
have been greatly benefited by it,and would
like TO introduce it in our little town, as /
can cheerfully recommend it to all that are
suffering from Lung Complaint, Coughs,
Colds, etc. What can you furnish me this
medicine for by the dozen bottles or two
dozen at a time? Respectfully Yours,

stock is quoted on the exchange at $S4, $34
above par value. The suspension, however,
will have a bad effect on the community, as
a large number ofpoor people are depositors.
The rolling mill and machine shop here
have stopped, throwing large number of
people out of employment. This occurring
at the commencement of winter means gem
eral destitution among the poor.

PackertOn ISippIes.

The death ofThomas r. RatcHffso long
resident of Packcrton, cast a gloom over
our little town. To know him was TO know
one who had a heart full of tenderness and
sympathy for alli there was no task too
great for him TO undertake; he deemed it
pleasure to grant favor if within his power;
every appeal to him met with a cordial re-
sponse; he was an active member of the
Presbyterian Church, of Lehighton, and a
Trustee, and for long time Secretary of the
sunday school member of the several or
ders, the Knights Of Pyshias, Mystic Chain,
and Odd Fellows, the last named order at
tended his remains TO their final resting
place the Mauch Chunk Cemetary. A kind
son, an affect ionate brother, a good citizen,
and a true friend, is what is lost in the death
OF InGmas R. RatcliH.
&C. J. Gould is still quite i'll with the ty-
phoid fever.
The all absorbing question this week
has been-are you going 10 the Fair and Fes-
tlyal? and wont you give me vote, | am
running for the doll baby, the sled the dish
es, the gold headed cane, and whole lot of
things too numerous to mention? The af-
fair has evidently been very successful, we'll

AIbrisIltsyiIIe Itenls.

Since my last letter one of our most re-
spectacle citizens, Mrs. Hannah Serlass, wife
of Jos. Serfass, has ended her earthly career
She had been a sufferer from a stroke of
palsey for about six years, which she bore
with christian patience, until Sunday after
noon of last week, when death relieved her
from her earthly suiIerings. Through her
death the church has lost one of its best
members. Let the family she has gone be-
fore bow in submission to him who doeth all
things well. She leaves kind hearted hus-
band, five children, SO grandchildren and
nine great-grand- children to mourn their
loss. The family in this their sad bereave-
ment have the heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community. Her funeral took place on
wednesday last, and was very largely at
tended. The services were conducted in
German by Rev. A. NJ. Strauss, of Gilbert's,
Monroe county. She had attained the ripe
age of G3 years, IL months and 81 days.

THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER d

plies with crushing force to Republican rule
In this country The Republican party rep
resenting the North has been legis-
lating for the practically unreprpsented
South. The reconstruction laws, though
nominally general in their bearing,
were arr are In reality as inoper-
alive in the North as the India acts Of
Parliament are in England So 1t would be
pei contra II, by any turn of the wheel of
political fortune, predominant Legislative
power over the whole country should be con
ferred upon the South. The same would be
true Of the West. There are certain struc-
tural differences, go to say, between the civil
izatiUns of the different sections of this cotlrl-
try which can never be blended into one coue
mon type No, the sections cannot be wiped
out or indistinguishably fused The bane of
sectionaIism thus far in the experience OF this
country is that, through peculiarities in the
machinery OF parties, one section must be
predominant, must in fact legisIate or direct
legislation for all the others. There can be
but one remedy, and that, rs said Is In the
scheme OF
THE COORDINATION OF THE SECTIONS.
Let the sections be as they must be, to a GER
tain extent defined and demarked But let
the representatives Of each, so far as may
be without infringing the constitutional rights
or assailing the domestic interests of the
others, control or direct by consent of the
to effect 1t or operate upon its people more
than the others or upon their people,
isn't that project subject TO the epithet
'Utopian, Senator2'
IF It is, then there is no peace, harmony or
concord for our poor country this side Of
Utopia, replied Lamar, with his indescrlba-
BILE solemn drollery. A. q. b.
