1t is not 10 be deaicd that o
good sewing machine is one Of the
most important appurtenances Of
the modern household. !.
We thought We had a good ma.
chine until Que day Ga agent Of
the New Home presented himself
at our door and proceeded to de-
liver al Grafton upon It's charac.
teristic merits.
But" we answered, ''our ma.
chine sui:s US well and we do not
care for another"
Tue agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his ma
chimes with us, for the ladies to
try"
The request was not unreasona-
bic, so we granted it-but more
to oblige the agent than anything
else ; Cor we really did not want
the machine, and had not the re-
hottest idea Of buying it.
The machine once in the house
it was natural that the ladies
should look it over : they did so,
and as a consequence fell in love
With it. They say that without
the slightest wish to decry or
.disparage any other machines,
this, all thing considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable
one to be had.
This unriva.led machine is man.

We are sorry that in our last
issue, We were unfortunate enough
to hurt the feelings Of one Of our
best citizens, Mr.. J..H. Putnam
in giving the facts attending the
accidental loss of syrup at his re.
fiery, nal 'ng it out a mistake in
stead Of an accident which it real
ly is. Bnt to correct oil errors
and salsc impressions in the mat
ter we will give his.own words
on the subject
The second lot of syrup sent
here by Mr.. Bagley was pumped
Into O new tank bought expressly
for his syrup ; otter it vas full the
's:ayrods or braces in the tank
broke umde: the great strain and
syrup run out through the
bolt holes in ..ank, wl,'e said ank
was being empt:ed into an other.
Mr.. hyley and myself thought
that syrup to make about 1890 to
1900 pounds white sugar had
been lost, and ! agreed to pay
him for same. although this was
on accident which NO one could
foresee Or prevent aud was not
the result Of a mistake"
Again we are sorry to have
made a gross mistake in detailing
the accident, which we honestly
reportcdSuch as it was currently
told to US, and beg the gentleman
to be assured that there was no
intention to offend, and neither
did We intend to injore his refinery
which we look on as an object of
pride and ornament % our parish
and a god-send to the cane grow.

ject. o,d-
ment, as follows: :, - orc
insert the following.
ssOn the plan for deepening the channci

ton to Il.

ing TO the report OF the engineers.

heard on the amendment; and first Oh all,
call for order. -,
The CHAIRMAN: The committee VIII

Mr.. VAN VOORHIS: want to be able
70 hear the Chair, and 1 want the Chair TO
hear me. There is such confusion in the
House that nothing can be heard.
This amendment dictates to the engineers
what they shall do. The War Department

limit It. For aught know this may change
the entire character OF the improvement.
