Tbe Sunbury Steam Fire Company No.
started on an excursion on Tuesday morning
last, at 6.50 for Alleutown, over the D. II. & W
R. R. The company took with them their beau.
tlful narade carriage "Gazelle." which was
,
handsomely polished up for the occasion. They
arrived at Alleutown in the afternoon, aud were
to be the guests of the Good Will Fire Company
of that place. On Wednesday they were to pro
cecd to Reading, wheie they will be the guests of
the Rainbow Fire Company for a day, when they
go to Harrlsburg, where they will be entertained
by the Hope Fire Company until to-day, (Friday
evening,) when they expect to return home in
the fast line, at 7 o'clock, p. in. The company
is accompanied by Kirchncr's Cornet Band, who
furnish music on the march, and the 'Snoot'
Band at private entertaiuments. Both the
Washington Steam Fire Company and the llook
and Ladder Company, are represented by their
Foremen in the excursion. The Press is also re
presented by reporters the American by II. D
Whartou, Esq., and the Democrat by Ferd. Hill
Esq., from whom we expert an interesting ac
count of their trip.
We had supposed last fall, when our neighbor
of the Democrat was trying to leave an impres
sion that tbe county taxes were too low, tlia
some favorite scheme was in contemplation to
favor his friends witn positions, and that the
county would ray for it. In this we were cor
rect. We notice now that where the Republican
Commissioners required but one clerk, (and he
performed the work of the office punctually at a
meagre salary.) it now Ukes two clerks, and
they arc already behind time with their dupli
cates and papers for the aifl'erent tax collectors
in the county. While Mr. Gray (Republican)
filled the position of clerk, otr neighbor was con
stantly nervous, probably tecanse he did not
w ish tbe people to know that one man can attend
to all the business. Since Mr. Schwartz has
filled the position, Mr. Wni. T. Rickey, the mat
ter of form' tax collector of Sunbury, has been
called to his assistance, and bow a double salary
is paid by the Democratic board of Commissio
ners. But we do not hear our neighbor com
piain now. And why is it t We suppose the ed
itor of the Detnoerat will favor on increase of
taxes next year, with the excuse that the ex
penses are higher nnder the Democratic Com
missioners than under the Republican.
Liberal. We were glad to see that tbe Fore
men of the shops of tbe Pennsylvania R. R. at
this place, showed their magnanimity by pay
ing their hands before regular pay day, enabling
those belonging to the fire department to accom
pany the excursion to Alleutown. Sich actions
on the part of employers must cert: inly be ap
preciated by the employees. and they will be more
esteemed by their frieuds for allowing their men
a few days' enjoyment.
Col. C. Neff, of the Washington House in
this place, has lately leen attacked with the im
provement fever, and Is now engaged in giving
bis popular hotel a thorough overhauling. The
iuside of the building will be handsomely pa nted
and papered, while the outside will undergo i gc
neral change in appearance. AH tbe brirk-work
will be painted lead color, which will make it a
very handsome looking building. The Colonc1
knows hnw to run a hotel to perfection.
Mr. W. T. KiOKEr requests us to stole that
he has had bis bond all fixed up with a number
of persons on it as security," and fays, "he
thinks the county will uot now loose onythi.ig."
William was appointed tax collector for the bo
rough of Sunbury, last week. Of course the
taxes will be collected, but we cannot see where
William T. can spare the time, as it requires his
whole attention in assisting the Commissioners'
clerk.
We were in error last week in regard to the
cleaning of East Market street, by tbe borough
council. The citizens residing in that part of tbe
town found the borough fathers turned a deaf
ear to their requirement of an Improvements
that respect, and therefore turned out and did
tbe work themselves. This may account for the
apathy of the council in regard to repairs in oth
er parts of the town. They think, probably, if
they wait long enough, the citizens will become
ashamed, and do the work at their undivided ex
pense. Since Mr. Dissinger has returned from New
York with a new supply of goods, the store of
Clement fc Dissinger presents a grand business
appearance. The clerks are all busily engaged
in selling the cheap goods found at that estab
lishment. It is astonishing how low good6 arc
sold, all too, of tbe latest styles. Everything in
the Dry Goods and Grocery line can be obtaiucd
at the cheap cash store.
Two itinerant Italians, accompanied by' an
intelligent monkey, gave exhibitions on our
streets, yesterday, to the dciight of the juveniles.
While one of the Italians was grinding out mu
sic from an old box, the other stood with drawn
horsewhip, compelling the poor animal to go
through a great variety of bodily gyrations for a
considerable length of time, undoubtedly to its
suffering. The lash was sometimes applied
when the bodily distortions conld nat be accom
plished by the monkey. There are two ways of
remedying this kind of cruelty to animals. The
easiest mode, aud one which will be applied by
all considerate persons, is to withhold the remu
neration usually extended to these vagrants ; but
the more effectual remedy would be to seize the
lash and lay it ever the worthless back of the an
imal's persecutor.
Tbe following borough ret-olulion, passed by
Couucil ou Juue lClli, 1854, is published for the
benefit of bathers iu tlie river. Chief Burgess
Bourne requests the borough police to strictly
enforce the ordinance :
ReiolMd, That any person exposing bime!f
naked within the bounds of the borough for the
purpose of swimming, between the hours 5 a. m.
and 8 p. m., shall be subject to a fine or 50 cts.,
the oue-half thereof to the borough and the re-
maindei to the informer.
It is not generally known that a recent act of
atsembly requires the executors, administrators,
or tiionds of the deceaeed person, to put au affi
davit oi. teeord lu the Register's office, setting
forth the Cy aud hour when the death occurred.
Friends and parties applying for letters of ad
miuistialion v;:i do well to bear this important
fact in uiiud, au thereby save much inconve
nience in rceeiriuji their legal papers. Tbe
act in question cau be found on page 124, pam

One day last week, while Mr. Charles Rhin
hart, or Lewis township, was hauling lime, his
sou, a dear aud dumb child n or seven years or
age, who was with him, fell off the wagon and
had his leg broken iu three places. Mr. Rhl
hart thinks the wheel ran over his leg, but Drs.
Treon and Timbrook, who dressed the wound,
are of the opinion that the child becami entan
gled in the wheel iu some manner, but that the
wheel did not past over him. At last accounts
the child was doing well aud was iu a fair way
to recover. Dally.
Oir firemen who are now on an excursion to

rities of other towns keep up theirs. Wc hope
that tbe. couucilmeu who are with the excursion
ists will make a few observations while they are
abroad that will redound to the benefit of our
place, and more particular y to our Park, the
aesthetic statufc of which h still a surprise to

the bottom of the bnggy a note directing the
person finding the rigging to deliver it to Mr.
Wilhelm, its owner. The stranger who obtained
the conveyance has not been heard from, and
Mr. Wilhelm is out of pocket the contract price.

Death of Another Old Citizen. Samuel T.
Brown, one of our oldest citizens, died on Fri
day uight last, June 4th, about 11 o'clock, after
lingering illness, lasting through several
months, but which had confined him to his bed
but three w.eks previous to his death. The de
ceased was born in hite Deer v alley, on the
18th day or July, 1798, and was couscqucntly 76
years, 10 mouths and 16 days old, and came
from the Puritan family of Brown, so well
known in the valley. He came to Milton in
1S30, and purchased from Judge Armstrong the
tannery property now owned by Wm. II. Rebcr,
and carried on business there over 30 years. He
was during this time identified with all the im
provements carried forward in this section, aud
was ever ready to lend a helping hand to all de
serving business men, and, as experience proved,
to many who were not deserving. He was a di
rector or the old Northumberland Bauk for over
wenty years, and duiiug that time was noted
for his readiness to assist those in distress, in ob
taining money from the bank, often euuorsing
paper himself lor those with whom he was only
lightly acquainted, and who had no claims on
him. He was also a director of tbe First Na
tional Bank ot Milton, and had been siuceits or
ganization. He was twice married, his second
wife surviving him. Of five children, but two
are living, (both promineut men in this commu
nity, and as well-known and highly respected as
their now deceased father was during his life
time,) viz: J. Woods Browu and Cyrus Brown.
The deceased was an excellent citizen, emi
nently social and neighborly in his intercourse
with his fellow-citizens, a kind husband and fa
ther and sympathetic, affectionate frieud. He
will be missed in the community and long re
membered by those whom he had befriended aud
assisted in their life-struggle, as well as by many
who respected him for his sterling business and
social qnalitics.
The funeral took place on Tuesday at 10Ji
clock and was very largely attended, not only
by the citizens of Milton but by many from ad-
joiuing towns. The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. Dr. J. C. Watson, of whose
church (1st Presbyterian) deceased was a mem
ber at the time of his death. MiUonian.

About 6 o'eloek ou Tuesday evening of last
week, Clarence Brooks, a boy of 16, son of Mr.
John Brooks, a farmer living about three miles
east of Snydertown, was plowing in a field which
he had almost finished, when Freeman Taylor, a
neighbor boy, rode iuto the field and tying bis
horse took hold or the plow, aud told Clarence
to drive up the horses and they would soon get
done. Clarence gave one or the horses a cut
with a switch which caused him to kick, striking
him (Clarence) iu the abdomen, and injuring
him so that he died the following day abont 3 o'
clock. He was buried on Thursday iu the Sha
mokin cemetery. He is represented as saving
been a very cxcclleut boy, aud was the only son.
On Friday last, about io o'clock, Emmucl
Haffman, a young man of about 30 years of age,
living ou the farm of Mr. Isaac John Sober, in
ShamoKln towuship, whom he assisted in the
farm worn, died from the effects or a stroke ot
palsy receivrl on the Wednesday previous wnile
engaged in spreading lime. About 4 o'clock a
neighl-or rode by where Huffman was at work
and talked to bin. ; a few miuutes later another
neighbor rode by and discovered him lying be
side the lime-sled astcep, as he supposed. In a
couple of hours this man returued and found the
horse turned about, but Huffman still lying in
the same rorition. He called loudly to him, but
the etricken man could only raise, his hand. He
was taken home to his young wife but never ut
tered a word or showed any sign of conscious
ness up to his death. He formerly lived in Sha
mokiu, but had been with Mr. Sober from some
time in December iatt. He was buried on Sun
day fioin the Irish Valley M. E. Church.

Evert man thinks a newspaper a fair game,
ir a society or any body or men get up a concert
or a ball, or other form or entertainment the
object or which is to put money in their pockets
or if the proceeds are to be devoted to charitable
purposes to add to their own glorification, they
become very indignant ir the proprietors or a
newspaper do not assist them by a scries or
gratuitous advertisements for several weeks be
fore the event takes place. These gentlemen
should remember that literary men, in this prac
tical age, work for money as for fame princi
pally the former, however, and the business
manager of a newspaper, if he wishes to keep
on the safe side or the ledger, conducts his
charge on the same principle as the head or any
business establishment. People who are getting
up a ball would reel chary or asking a present
or a pair or gloves from any merchant on that
account, yet asking and expecting to receive a
gratuitous advertisement is n similar demand.
More Swindlers. Rcccutly three men regis
tering their names as U. Bucksbaum, Baltimore,
Maryland, F. Burnstein and II. B. Mansfield, of
New York, stopped at the Freeland House, Mil
lcrsburg. On the day following their arrival
they hired a horse and buggy and started out
through Lykens Valley, visiting numerous farm
houses, tclliug the simple minded but honest
German farmers that they had just arrived from
the old country (Germany) for what purpose
the sequal will explain. During the day tticy
called nt the residence or a respectable German
ramily named Kattka, about five miles above
Nillcrsbnrg. Mrs Kattka was the only mem
ber of the family at home when they called. To
her they stated that they had just arrived from
Germany ; had a large amount of goods In the
custom bouse at Baltimore, and they being
6hort of money could not lift them. They asked
a loan or an amount sufficient to satisfy the
government officials at the same time tender
ing to the old lady what appeared to be two val
uable gold watches, (which they carried in a tin
box) but which proved to be, upon examination
two worthless brass concerns. Mrs. Kattka
gave them about ?130 in cash, after which t:cf
left the kind-hearted old lady, and when out
of sight, hired a boy to take the team back to
the liveryman at Millersbnrg. They immediately
crossed the river iu a canoe and boarded a west
ward bound train at Newport. One of tbe men
it is alleged, was recognized as a resident of
Bellfontc.
Search was made on the day following, but
finding that the gwindlcrs had boarded a train
at Newport, the chase was abandoned. Free

Letter from Our Local Reporter.
Ali.entown, Jnue 16, 1875.
Dear Wili'trt :
Tbe Sunbury Steam Fire Compa
ny, No. 1, arrived here yesterday noon, and were
received by the Mayor, Col. T. H. Good, and the
entire Fire Department of Alleutown. The re
ception given to our boys was splendid, and, to
put it fine, without a multiplication of words,
was a complete ovation. Thfc".Vorni7 HrXd,y
of to-day, says :
Tbe visit of the Sunbury Firemen to Allentown,
has been a most plea.aul one ror all concerned.
The scene uKn our streets yesterday, as the en
tire department turned out to do them honor,
was a most brilliant one, reflecting credit upon
our firemen, and giving to our Sunbury visitors a
just idea of the hospitality of Allentown, which
was shown In a more substantial form at the
banquet In the Good Will Engine House. The
following was the order of procession :
Chief Reniugerand Assistants.
Drum Corps.
America Hose Company.
Columbia Fire Company.
Hose Trunk.
Drum Corps.
Liberty Fire Company.
Hibcruia Fire Company.
Allen Fire Company.
Allentown Cornet Band.
Good Win Fire Company.
Suubury Band.
Suubury Fire Company.
Carrl-igcs containing citizeus of Suubury, Alleu
town Councils and Mayor Good.
A Title after one o'clock, the visiting firemen,
representatives of Sunbury Council and or the
Pros or Sunbury, were received formally on
Centre Square, by Mr. T. F. Emincns, of the
Xomiog Jerald, who bid them welcome on bc
ialf or the Good Will Fire Company, and the
firemen and citizens of Allentown. His remarks
were responded to in appropriate terms by A. N.
Brice, Esq., a promineut lawyer of Suubury, and
one of the "boys" from that good old buig, and
after the respouse the visitors were escorted to
the Good Will Engine House, where they were
elegantly entertained, and they subsequently
were taken out to the Fair Ground, where they
seemed to enjoy themselves very m'Jch. The
banquet was all that could be desired, and was
appreciated by our firemen. As they had bad
a long fast they stood not on the ordei of being
invited to partake, but went towork wi.h a will,
as our boys usually do, whether nt a fire or sup.
plying the wants of the iuncr man. It is an old
saying, in speaking of such occasions, that "the
table fairly groaned under the weight oi the good
things spread upon it," and the exp-ession is
considered wom out, but it will have ;o be re
ceived for thit banquet, for nothing wuswauting,
and the distribution of the edibles by Al entown's
"best and fairest lasses" did not disturl our boys
lu the least, for they were entcrtainui in two
ways, viz: the smiles of pretty womei and the
devouring or good things prepared by ;heir rair
hands.
After the banquet onr forces were arain mar
shaled, and we proceeded to the fait grounds
where the ladies are holding a Centemial Fair
for the benefit of the great Centennial ;o be held
in Philadelphia in 1876. I cannot giro you a
description or this rair in a short letter but send
job a few of the prominent features. The whole
idea is to represent things as they wert one hun
dred year opo. ond If prwslhlp to go baik fiirthrr
in the history of our country. In one case they
have gone beyond the discovery of America by
Columbus, in having a piano four hundred and
thirty-three wart old. Among tbe representa
tions are the Indian Camps under the shade
trees, near the circus tent, which looks well
but will look better when the squaws and pa
pooses are all assembled in costumes in and
around tbe tents of the Encampment. The re
presentations of Turkey look beantiful, and their
Encampment and the ladies and Turkish gentle
men who wander around in their conspicuous
costumes with the Indians, Gypsies, and the cir
cus peformcrs, give the scene a pleasantly pic
turesque appearance. Tbe Dutch Kitchen at
tracted its scores or visitors, and the Circus fc
Menagerie bad a big crowd round it all day long.
To-morrow, Thursday, a sham battle will take
place, representing the battle or Bnnker nill.
Col. Good will command the British forces,
playing the part of Lord Howe. I am not ac
quainted with the gentleman who will person
ate the commauder or the Continental forces.
Allentown is a very fine place or some twenty
thousaud inhabitants. The people are clever
hospitable I should say. The streets are well
paved and macadamized, and attention is paid
to the preservation or public property, and no
such thing as "gates ajar."
Accompanying the No. 1 excursion are C. Sen
senboch ; II. Newberry and W. H. Miller or our
town council, B. F. Bright and Jack Waltz, or
tbe Washington Fire Company ; and F. K. Hill,
representing the Sunbury Daily, and your "own
correspondent. Oust here I mnst speak or the
fine appearance and manly bearing or No. 1.
Their conduct is a credit to Sunbnry, and will
add, ir possible, to its good name. The boys
are all well, and their comfort is the especial at
tention or Major G. B. Cadwallader, John Cad-
wallader, W. C. Packer, J. J. Smith, James
Tufts, George Hoffman, Esqs.,and others.
Our friend, William Bucber, is enjoying him
self, and his lungs arc doing their usual duty.
Jack Waltz made himself useful last night at
the ball given to the boys, by giving a few new
lessons as "master of the dance."
Mons. Von Washington's "snnte band" was
out in full force last evening. The music given
by this celebrated Centennial Band was appre
ciated by the Allcntowners.
I will send yon more word of our trip from
Reading, for which city we leave at 12:40.
Yonrs fraternally
II. D. W.
In Irlemorlam.
At a meeting or surviving members of Com
pany C, 47th Rcgimeut Pa. Vet. Vols., and other
soldiers in the late war, residing in Sunbury,
helc at toe hall of Engine Co., No. 1, on Sun
day afternoon, called together by the sad an
nouncement of the death of Lieut. Wm. M. Hen
dricks, formerly of Company C, 47th Rcgt. Pa.
V., Lieut. A. N. Brice was called to the chair,'
and n. D. Wharton appointed secretary.
The following resolutions offered by II. D.
Wharton, were unanimously adopted :
WnEREAS. When death has closed the earthly
career of a comrade, companion and friend, it
is a melancholy though not ungrateful duty to
give utterance to our grief and recall the virtues
which justify it ; therefore
Iletoletd, That the death or Lient. Wm. M.
Hendricks, formerly or Company C. 47th Regi
ment Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers.has filled
ur hearts with palu, and penetrated us with a
uiccrc and protouud sorrow, which will not be
repressed, yet can be only feebly expressed.
Hetolved, That Lieut. Wm. M. Hendricks was
a brave so'dier, a raithfol officer, a serviceable
and valued citizen, a sintfr-ie friend and cherished
companion ; he was patriotic In the true sense of
that expressive word ; as a son, a husband and a
father, and In his intercourse with society, a6 a
citizen, lie was upright and just ; discharging all
the various duties devolved upon him by these
several relations with integrity and scrupulous
and intelligent fidelity.
WmiI, That we, so recently his comrades in
arms, unl'eignedly deplore his early death ; we
mouru not lor him, but for ourselves ; we are be
reaved, but he has been promoted from his tem
porary camp or instruction to the grand army or
he redeemed ; our loss is great, but our consola
tion is in the precious hope of tbe Christian's
faith.
Ketolved, That we condole with his stricken
and affiieled family in this their profound sor
row ; the loss they mourn we foci ; to them bis
love aud presence were strength and joy ; to us
his companionship was dear, and his memory is
cherished iu our hearts.
JlftolrttL, That we will attend his funeral as a
body, and will wear the appropriate badge of
mourning for thirty days.
Jtetoleed, That a committee of three be ap
pointed to convey a copy of these proceedings to
the family of our deceased comrade, and thut the
newspapers of the borough be respectfully re
quested to publish them.
Harper's Maoazine rou Jult, 1875. Har
per's Magazine for July contains over ninety
beautiful engravings, illustrating a great variety
of subjects. Seven of the seventeen articles are
illustrated.
Mrs. Spoffbrd's splendidly illustrated paper on
Newburyport is itself so picturesque, and so full
of color, as to almost need no pictorial embellish
ment. She shows that the old town at the mouth
or the Merrimac is as rich in literary and histo
ric associations as Concord on one or the tribu
taries or that river has been shown to be in the
May and June Numbers or Harper. Taken in
connection with the articles on Concord, Mrs.
Spouord's paper completes the proof that the
Merrimac Valley "has some right In consider
itself the Attic region or America.,' The associ
ations with our naval history or the town which
gave John Paul Jones his two lieutenants invite
especial attention. "Here says Mrs. Spofford,
-"Arnold's Expedition against Quebec recruited
and sailed, with its dashing yonng officer Aaron
Burr-; aud here were built and manned not only
the very first privateers twenty-two or which,
with a thousaud men, were never heard from af
ter sailing but many others which raked British
commerce to the value of millious iu this port in
this port, and the sloop 'Wasp,' wbie fought
us fiercely as her namesake fights, in three
months capturing thirteen merchant-men, en
gaging four ships of the line, and, finally, alter
bitter struggle, going down with ail her men nt
the guns, and all her colors flying."
Those who have read 8. O. W. Benjamin's pa
per in the Juno Number of Harper, on the Chan
nel Islands, will have no les pleasure in follow
ing the tame writer through his "Wanderings iu
Brittanv,' occupying twenty piges or this nura
ter, with thirty-one beautiful illustrations.
But if Newburyport aud Brittany fail to charm
the reader, let him turn to William Black's de
scription or Lewis, the principal islaud of the
Hebrides, illustrated from the writer's own pen
cil sketches. Here, in Mr. Black's description of
natural scenery and human character, will be
found the subtle charm, the genivt loci, that
moved him to the marvelous creations of "A
Princess of Thulc." Here we have the very is
landthat or Bernera, "presided oier by a wor
thy rarmer aud fisherman, who Is called its
king" from which Mr. Black derived his
"King of Borva," to whom bis imagination gave
a daughter "as beautiful as the beantiful scene
ry in which she dwells."
There is a special fitness in Mr. Parton's se
lection, for the July Number, out ot bis chap
ters on caricature, that one which treats of "Ca
ricature iu the Revolutionary Period" that pe
riod including both the American nnd theFrcneh
Revolution. His leading illustration, with
equal fitness, is one designed by BenJaminFrauk
!' in London, 1774. Mr. Parton's article con
tains ixteen rare and enrtooe illustrations be
longing t me period under cous!deration.
Dr. Samuel Osgood, whose early home was at
the root of Bunker Hill, In a somewhat philoso
phical manner treats the significant Issues of
the battle or June 17, 1775, nnder the title or
'Echoes of Bunker Hill." His contribution is
illustrated.
Professor Charles Ran continues his illustrated
papers on the Stone Age in Europe, this mouth's
installment dealing mainly with the remains
found lu the Hohlcfel cave In Germany.
This number contains a humorous love-story
by Mrs. Frank M'Carthy, "The Story of a Trom
bone," which is characteristically illustrated.
Mit-s Virginia W. Johnson contributes a charm
ing story, entitled "A Palace of Cobweb."
Miss Thackeray's beautiful story, "Miss An
gel," is concluded ; but tbe readers of the serial
stories will find in "Garth," Julian Hawthorn's
new novel, a story that will meet the highest ex
pectations. This novel will place Mr. Haw
thorne in the first rank among American no
velists. The "First Ccutury" article in this number is
by Edward Atkinson, nnd is a very thoughtful
and suggestive review of the development of
American commerce.
The poetry of the Number is contributed by T.
B. Aldrieh, Fannie R. Robinson,Nelly M. Hutch
inson, Helen 8. Conant, and A. F.
John Higlow continues his pithy comments on
H-iytiau Proverbs.
A Rare Volume. The Centenuial Gazetteer
or the United States. By A. Von Steinwohr, A.
M., anther of "The Eclectic Series or School
Geographies," "Topographical Map or the V.
S.," etc., Is a volume which commends itself to
nil wishing information concerning our country.
It presents iu readilv accessible shape the results
of the late census," and whatever is of value
from hundreds of geographical, statistical and
descriptive works. It represents the labor of
years on the part of the author and a large
corns of assistants, and an expenditure of nearly
$20,000. The country at large, each state, city,
town aud township, the principal rivers and
mountains, are treated in separate articles, In
their alphabetical places, and so fully as to
bring to every reader tho most desirable facts
respecting each, nnd shows the gigantic results
of the first one hundred years of tho Greatest
Republic the world ever saw. The Work Is a
National Standard, and will prove os indispen
sable to every class as a Webster's or Worces
ter's Dictionary. Published by J. C. McCurdt

Chicneo. 111.: and St- Lmils. Mo.,
The Aldtne for June (No. 18 or the currant
series) has come to hand, and it may be called
one or the most substantial numbers or the pub
lications which has yet appeared, appealing,
throughout, to the most refined and elevated
sentiments. This fact is especially notable in
several of the illustrations, "Mother's Darling,"
the first, being a perfect apothesis of that holiest
and most self-sacrificing of affections conveyed
bv the name ; while in two companion-pictures,
"The Helping nand," and "Saved and Lost,"
the story of man's spiritual peril and his only
abidiLg refuge Is told most strikingly. Three
fine pictures open the promised series of "Pic
turesque Europe," In "A Waterfall in the Py
renees," a gem of Albert Rieger, tbe original of
which formed one of the leading art attractions
at Vienna in 1873 and two charming ovals,
"Surmont on the Bonze," nnd "The Heron's
Rock," both from picturesque Auvergne. The
other full-page picture of - the number is a gra
phic "Battle or Bunker Hill," following out
the patriotic Centennial series commenced three
motnbs ago; and a handsome illustration of
lion. Luther B. VVyuian, or Brooklyn, make np
the art-contents or the number.
In letter-press, no story or the secession war
has been so plainly and yet so sweetly told, as
is "A Virginia Girl's Experience at the Fall or
Richmond," of which a part is given in this
number. The novel of the Revolution, "The
Spur of Monmouth," broadens and deepens in
interest, and introduces new characters freely
enough to indicate a wide field before the con
clusion. Besides these, of prose, there are a
charming Utile domestic story, 'The Bell en den
Difficulty," by Florence Allen, understood to
be the promising daughter of the lady who
taught the world ihe sweet words of "Rock me
to sleep, mother ;" a pleasant paper on "Ger
mantown," by Chandos Fulton ; tbe first or a
scrappy series by John Thompson, Jr., on, "Odd
Peysonal Resemblances ;" carefol papers on
"Bunker Hill," on Music, Art and Literature.
Then, and to conclude, we have the following
poems all worthy of their place : 'The
Mother's Darling," (illustratory) by John nay
Fnrness ; "The Best to come," by a pen or
much past honor, that or Mrs. Susan Archer
Talley Weis ; "June Roses," by Alice Williams;
"One Maiden's Wav." by C. Woodward Uni
son ; nnd "Ihe Brook or Kildare," by Sarah
Q. Clark making np a whole or quite me aver

THE LIGHT RUNNING "DOMESTIC."
The "Domestic.
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machine in nil its parts and processes. It is
easily understood ; familiarity with its action is
very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of special skill in tho operator.
i ne superior advantages obtained in the "Do
mestic" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels.
3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stltcb.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction.
6. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of Operation,
We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow
ledged merit ; bnt we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that tho "Domestic" has many
excellences that render it decidedly titperior to
any otxr Machine now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her
seir into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, not to be care
lessly made ; one that will influence her com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead or a slow manual drudgery ; she will have
tbe time and strength to add beamy and elegance
to work in which before she has been obliged to
content hcrseir with bare utility.
