Prescott, oct. 30th, 1855.
The National Garment Cutter came
to my notice, and | was naturally
anxious TO see it and know if there
was any system more perfect than
those with which l am acquainted
that | might keep up with the times
and if possible become more expert,
as my business is constantly growing,
and to make a success of any business
| believe that one should investigate
and thus keep posted. | therefore
carefully examined the National Gar
ment Cutter aud am satisfied that it is
just what is needed, not only by the
dressmaker, but also by the family,
as its simplicity and correctness rec.
ommend ittoall. l cheerfully recon.
mend it TO all.

THE REASON GIVEN.

There must be a cause for every
effect. This being the case, what is
the cause resulting in such universal
adoption of the National Garment
Cutter The reasons given by those
using it are as follows: 1t is the only
system known by which any and every
garment can be cut. 1t is SO simple
that anyone of ordinary intelligence
can learn to use it without difficulty.
1t is so cheap that anyone can buy it'll
and in fact can't afford to be without
it when they know its value. tgiyes
ease and grace to garments which are
essentials in cases where comfortable
and stylish garments are wanted.
The popularity of this system, when
once known, is phenomenal, all must
admit but anyone can see why it is
if they will only examine the Cutter.
No person of candor will examine the
Cutter and not be pleased with 1t, and
no honest person, unless an egotlst,
will condemn an article or business
they know nothing about. We have
had an opportunity to examine the
endorsements of the people and press
wherever the Company have been
working and we can find but one SEN
timent expressed, and that is fair
dealing upon the part of the Company
and universal satisfaction given by
the Cutter. These are the reasons
why the Gutter is being 50 universally
adopted by all classes of people. One
other reason of its rapid introduction
is the strenuous efforts made by the
Company to have none but sober,
honest, Industrious people to handle
their work and the rigid discipline
required in the work. There is
enough profit in the business to justify
the following of the business by such
people, and the Company are deter
mined, SO far as possible, to secure
that class of workers.
We give you the opinion of others
us well as our own:

aIr. Van Wyck said the Senator from Col

next Friday.
Mr. Van Wyck offered the following res

spectively, to take such action as each may
deem necessary to prevent any sale by the

The Anglo Russian Embroglio.

LONDON, March 1.-THE native press in
India, with scarcely an exception. expresses
loyalty toward England and confidence in
the wisdom and frmness Of Lord Duffrriu,
the British Yceroy Of India. Ther: are
many expressions Of anger and bitter hos
ti!ity against Russia, and Brahmins aud
Moslems vie with each in expressions of
contempt for the new religion which they
say Russia would attempt to force upon
India. Preparations for the transportation
OF troops 10 the frontier are actively pro-
crossing The railroads are already we'll
equipped for moving large bodies Of troops
and supplies. and horses are being collect
ed at Bombay, Calcutta and other points
for cavalry and transportation uses. All
that India asks Of England, in tn .ent OF
war being declared, is enforcement 81
The Times says that it is probable that some
OF General Lumsden's officers have already
commenced work. The government has
practically ordered Lumsden TO organize
the Afghan defence. The Times says: We
believe the main body Of General Lums-
deus troops have occupied Robat Pass. 1t
is hoped that General Lumsden's measures
will prevent the capture Of the key Of In
da by coup de main. If Russia is bent
upon war she has many vulnerable points.
If she forces England to hostiities she can
not imagine the struggle would be confined
to the remote regions of Central Asia. A
dispatch from Suakin says that the Moham-
metan native troops from India, who are
now assemb led there, unanimously rerudl-
ale FL Mahdi. They say that he Is not
even Il Moslem, and they are Disguised with
his pretensions to be considered the sue
cessor of the Prophet. They believe him
to be immensely elated with the idea OF IL
war between England and Russia on the
frontiers of India, but they state that in the
event Of such war being declared, every
native regiment in India could be doubled
or lrebled by volunteers determined to re-
sist Russian invasion to the death
Financial circles are somewhat excited
over official reports received here this after
noon confirming the report published in the
Times this morning tn the effect that Rn--
sian troops had advanced further into AT
CHAN territory. The Russian government
admits that such movement had taken
place, but asserts that it WAS only intended
for the purpose Of seeking q more suitable
position in case Of war with A1ghanistan.
II is generally believed here that both the
Alghans and Russians are hurrying for
ward aud that collision is imminent
British consols have fallen 1llG of one per
cent, and Russian securities two per cent
in consequence of the above news.
