AMONG THE CLOVER.

In summer time left behind
The city's din and worry.
And sought the bliss OF country life
All IN a joyful furry.
j strolled among tf e nodding heads
o. sweet pink blossomed clover,
And thought my cup of happiness
Was full to running over.
I drank the perfume of the buds
Until intoxicated
I spread myself out on bank
And there luxuriated
The soothing sweetness of the spot
O'ercame my raptured senses.
And iulled me to sleep profound,
Devoid OF all pretenses.
A flash of light starry flight!
A singing. stunning sensation!
A swift uprising to my feet,
A yell OF CONSERVATION.

To learn the provocation.
And 10 a nest of bumblebees
Chock-full of indignation.
! tarried not amid those fields
So fraught with natures beauty,
But with extreme rapidity
Returned to home and duty.
Since then I've ceased to rave about
The blooming fields of clover;
And whenever think of that event
feel IN pain all over.

There is hardly any piece OF house.
hold machinery which is capable of
causing so much vexation as the sew
ing machine. The ingenious and in
dispensable mechanism, like most
other things, is docile and tractable
when in the hands of one who under
stands it.
Not long since a Philadelphian es-
sayed TO adjust his wife's sewing ma
chine. In short time he became ex-
ceed1ngly interested in his work; then,
by the usual and rational changes, he
passed to agitation, disgust and tow
ering rage, closing with a grand de-
nouement with an axe and a success
sion of vigorous strokes that instantly
reduced the sewing machine. -
When any portion of the mechanism
fails TO respond correctly, it is usually
from some very trifling cause, and the
first endeayor should be to find out
exactly what Is the matter. To be-
come a master in the art OF repairing
sewing machines, it is requisite &c

the stitch is formed and the work fed.
Very little manual skill is really
needed. The breaking of thread or
needles and the skipping of stitches
are due, nine times out OF ten, to the
loosening of some screw, allowing
some part to become slightly dis
placed.
II your machine breaks the thread,
first examine tho broken end TO de-
termine whether it is cut or torn.
Then measure the end down from the
take-up, and you will discover at what
point in the revolution the trouble oc-
CURED. Turn the wheel slowly, and
watch the thread pass around the
shuttle at the point where the accident
occurred. Many times a machine can
be persuaded TO return TO good
behavior by simply taking out the
needle and shuttle and giving it little
cleaning and oiling, without disturbing
any part of the adjustment. Farm and

A Band of Outlaws.

PGTTsBURG, April S.-A special from
Uniontown says in addition to the terror
inspired throughout the Fayette county
by the McClellaptown band of outlaws,
they are creating great terror in the adj
joining county of Preston in West Vir-
ginia, When they were driven from
their refuge near markleysburg they went
across the line into West Virginia, and
are now said to be located in a house near
Glad Mills, a small hamlet. Reports say
there are six OF them in the gang now
and that nightly they commit some depre-
dation on citizens in the vicinity. So
great is the excitement over their pres
ence and the robbing and victimizing of
the gang that the neighborhood is in de-
SPAR. Local desperadoes have Joined
forces with the gang and they threaten
all kinds OF vengeance on any one who
interieres with them. The place where
they hold forth is near a distillerv and
this adds to their recklessness.. An or
ganized effort will be made to capture
them under command of West Virginia
officers.
