An invention all frugal wives vii appre-
ciate-in fact, an article that even rivals
the sewing machine in usefulness-is now
on exhibition at the Broadway store Of the
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, in this
city yet it is so wonderfully simple that
it can scsrcely be clsssed an invention,
and wonder to everybody that it was
not discovered years ago. The invention
consists in very simple little attachment
Of the Wilson shuttle sewing machine for
darning all kinds Of rips, tears WORKOUT
places. etc., in clothing, table and bed
linen. stockings, underwear, etc., in the
same manner that it is done by hand, and
leaves the repaired part scarcely discern
able. The operator of the sewing machine
can darn alarse-sized hole in bed sheet
or table cloth almost simultaneously It
is to be regretted, however, that this Won
derful invention is patented and owned by
the Wilson Sewing Machine Company, Of
Chicago, III who viii not permit its use
except with one Of its make Of sewing ma
chimes. which, the Compass manager
states, is furnished with each Of the Will
son shuttle sewing machines without extra
price. Truly, this is a golden nest-egg for
the Wilson Sewing Machine Company,
and, it is said, they are running their
works day and night and making and SELL
ing 800 machines day.-[From the N. Y.

making -four by this process for some
time but have just put in new puri.
fer and another boiling machine to b
used EXCLUSIVELY for this -four. They
have, also, added cooper shop. They
are just now manufacturing one hund
red and fifty barrels ofnew process -four

time and have, practically, two mills
Along with other improvements they
have = new packing machine which

The third lecture of the "Home Course
was d. livered last Friday evening at the
Methodist Church by J. b. CASTOR Esq
The attendance was good in point Of num-
bers, and the strict attention given by the
audience, as we'll as their generous ap-
plause, bore testimony that the effort of
the speaker was appreciated and admired
as it deserved to bc.
The lecture was not only full of valuable
and suggestive thought but was Of finish
ed and scholarly character and its delivery
was in excellent taste. The Home Course
Of Lectures as thus far delivered have de-
veloped good degree Of popular interest.
1t is very gratifying to notice that the
young people Of the Village generally have
felt new aud strong impulse in matters Of
education as q result Of this happy idea Of
q course OF lectures from our own citisens.
Redwood Falls may yet send lecturers

Mr.. Ed.


see ty the proceedings Of the
County Commissioners that at their first
annual meeting they fixed the salary of our
County Attorney at $500. per annum and
am informed that he has appealed to the
Judge Of the District Court 70 have it raised.
Now as fixing the County Attorneys salary
is part Of the sworn duly OF the County
Commissioners l think that Mr.. Powell
owes i, to himself and to the County Com
missioners and to the over burdened tax
payers to State on what grounds he asks
Tor raise ct salary. l, for one. do not
wish to believe that that our worthy at
torney would take one cent from the PEG
pie Of the County more than he honest
ly earns. Nor can believe that one
of our County Commissioners would
vote to put Mr.. Powell's salary at one cent
less than they think he il justly entitled
to.
This is matter that we are all deeply
inters sted in at this time when large
number Of people are obliged to forego the
common necessaries of life in order to pay
their taxes. Hoping that our legal friend
will put himself right before the tax pay.

There is strong feeling in congress
against the award made by the fishery
commission against the United States.
1t is argucdthat the decision will result
in sharp trick and that therefore all
opposition to the payment of the award
is justi6able. It needs the approval
of congress to this award before re-.
QUESTION can be made upon the treas
ny for money. The debate upon this
subject will afford fine opportunities
for uochaining the eagle.
A CovINeroN, Ky, correspondent
tells this: "a country merchant vis-
tied the city few days ago, and going
to Cincinnati, purchased from dollar
store table castor; which he carried
home with him, and after putting a
tag on it marked 'Sl4' made it pres
ent to Methodist preacher, whose
church his family attended. The re-
verend gentleman carried the package
home. and examined the contents, The
next day he brought castor with the
tag attached) back to the groceryman,
and said to him: 4 am too poor in
this worlds goods to afford to display
80 valuable castor on my table, and
if you have no objection l should like
to return it and take sl4 worth Of
groceries for my family in its stead
The merchant could do nothing but
acquiesce; but fancy his feelings"
