tho samo machine. Each stitch being nlilto on
both sides of tho fabric.
Every Machine has tho reversible feed m'qr
tlon, which enables tho operator, by simply turn
lug a thumb-screw, to havo the work run either
to tho right or left, to stay any part of tlio seam,
or fasten the wuds of scums, without turning tho
fabric.
3- Changing tho length of stitch, and froin
ono kind of stitch to another, can readily be done
whllu the Machlno is In motion.
a-Tho ncedlo Is easily adjusted, nnd does not
skip stitches.

It4 It does not require finer thread on the under
than for tho upper side, and will sewncioss the
heaviest seam, or from ono to mole thicknesses
of eloln, without chango of needle, tension, break

ANECDOTES OF DOGS.
A .SitEPHEitD'tjDoo.-A friend of otir's
who owns a hu-frc raiichniHl several hiin
drftl hptid of .sheep, is tho fortunate pos
sessor of ono oftliehet dogs in this
State. Tlio Intelligent creaturo was
brought up among the sheep, nourished
upon ewe's milk, his whole lifo being
pa-ed with tho Hock and devoted to its
defence. He has hecn taught to open
and shut the fold into which they nro
driven at Might, and ho cares for them
with sill thoapparent thoughtfiilnessthat
a human creature could display. In tho
morning, when tlio flock is driven to
the field, ho goes with it, selects some
commanding place, and watches tho
sheep during the whole day, driving up
the stragglers, and allowing no ono but
thoe with whom ho is acquainted to
approach them. Should a owo drop a
lamb and pavi on with tho herd with
out noticing it, ns sho sometimes will,
he has boon known to take care of it.
At night he drives the sheep into the pen
fasteni the door after him, mid seating
himself in their midst, lays there watch
ing them all night, Tn tho morning he
unfastens the door, drives out his ciiargo
to tho pasture, and keeps watch and
ward until nigiit comes, in lact, so
faithful is ho, that his master.frequcntly
absents himself from the ranch, for days
together, with perfect reliance upon
his dog to find all safe when ho returns,
California jmpcr.
A Doti's MEMoitv. Tlio memory of
dog is quite extraordinary, and only
equalled by that of tho elephant. Jtr.
Swainsou, in his work on tho instincts
of anlmiiN, gives tho following proof of
till". I k says that "n spaniel belonging
to tho Rev, J I X , being always
told that lie must not follow his ma.ter
to church, on Sundays, used, on tho.-e
days to set oil' long before tho service,
and lie concealed under tho hedge, so
near tlio church, that at lengtli'tho point
was yielded to him." My little parlor
dog never offers to go witli me on a Sun
day; although on other days ho is per
fectly wild to accompany me on my
walks. In my younger days I bail a
favorite dug which always accompanied
mc tochurcli, My mother, seeing that
he attracted too much of my attention,
ordered tiieservant to shut him up every
Sunday morning. This was done once,
but never afterward ; for lie concealed
hlm-elf early every Sunday morning, , uarty only took III- own dog,sei.ing her
and 1 was sure to find him either under i the street. Mr. M'Carthy was there
in. v -eat at church, or elo at tlie church foro subjected to a searching ero-t-oxum-do'or.
That dogs clearly di-tinguishtlie inntion on this point, but ho te-titled,

Judge, etc Aro Dogs Property ? In re
tho People vs. Dennis Campbell. This
caso camo up this morning, nnd is of
great interest to tho owners of that pop
ular nnimal, tho dog. In tho March
term of this Court, Dennis Campbell
was Indicted forsteallnga valuable New
foundland dog Worth $.")0, tho property
of Gerard S. Underbill.
There was not much doubt that Den
nis had taken tho Newfoundland, but
ho, having gone to a gentleman learned
in tho law, was Informed that dogs were
not proporty,and that "prigging" them
was no oll'ence; so Dennis instructed
his legal adviser to put in a demurrer.
That instrument was argued before tho
Court, and this morning tlio Judge de
livered a long, nnd of course elaborate
opinion upon tlio question, "Aro dogs
property'."' His Honor having made
researches into the earliest archives of
tho common law of England, was of
opinion that in tho good old times dogs
wero not property, but by tho march of
intellect, their condition had been im
proved until a law bad been passed by
tho State Legislature of Now-York for
tlio protection of domestic animals.
This act his Honor thoughtincltided tlie
dog ns a domestic animal, and having
so construed the statute, ho should givo
judgment for the people on the demur
rer, and the defendant must plead guil
ty or not guilty to the indictment.
A Doo Case in Couut. Mr. Koger
Prosecutes Mr. Garharty for Stealing.
Tlio three justices who preside in Special
Sessions wero largely occupied, a few
mornings since, in hearing and deter
mining tho merits of a complicated dog
ca-o, in which James Uogers, of Thirty
sixth street, appeared ngninst Michael
Garharty, on a cbargo of larceny.
Mr. ltogcia sets forth that about six
month ago Patrick M'Carthy, acting
as ills agent, purchased of Garharty the
brutes in question, a "female dog" and
puppy, for $ lrr" ; that tho old bruto alone
was worth $20, and that tho reason the
prisoner soltl out so cheap was that ho
then intended to return to Ireland
r urtiierinore, that about six weeks ago
Garharty, assisted by three men, stole
tho animal he had sold, while Itogers
and tlio dog were in tlie street, thus se
curing botlt the price money and tlio
brute. Mr. Itogers, deeming this an un
fair proceeding, prosecuted for theft.
Having sworn to those facts in Court,
lie brought forward Patrick M'Carthy,
a retired butcher, who testified that ho
bought tho animals in dispute for Mr.
Itogers, anil paitl $1 73 for the two, and
that Garharty treated in tlio bargain.
Mr. Spencer, the prisoner's counsel, set
up tho defence that the young bi utconly
was soltl, and that tlio maternal brute
was lent only for a short time; that Itog
ers refused togive her up, and that Gar-
py munu wus nm lunui si . uu hus
scqiiontly tcstlled that ho had sold six
or seven dogs himself ; whereupon Jus
tlco Urownell propounded tho following
query :
"You say, Mr. M'Carthy, that you
never bought n dog in your life, but that
you have Mild six or seven. Now I want
to know where you got thoso dogs you
au old thief. Furthermore, that M'Car
thy ottered to go with Garharty and help
get tho dog, nnd actually did go In com
pany with Garharty ami himself, and
was present when Garharty took tho
dog, It was further proven for tlio de
fence that tho prl-oiier was a man .of
good character, ami tho Court discharged
him. Ho left amid tlie congratulations
of his friends. Mr. Itogers, with u
gloomy nnd dejected countenance, ex
pressed a determination to "put liini
through."

refused to go. A few nights afterwards
ho had put thcsmallcnd below tho door,
and somo ono had pulled It out. On tho

very guilty and slunk nway with his
tall between his legs. Tho snmo dog

Ho often manifested symptoms of affec
tion for a robe de chumbrc Ills master
had boon in the habit of wearing, and
when permitted to Ho down upon that
article of dress, appeared as contented
as ho could bo in his bereavement. The
devoted dog grew thinner every day,

decease, died.

Some Doo. A gentleman left lloly-
yoko on Friday afternoon for this city
in a buggy, taking a favorite dog with
him. As they progressed toward Willi-
nittiisctt tlie gentleman amused himself
by plaguing tlio dog until ho had got
tlio animal into a .statoof complete wor
ry. Presently tlio gentleman's hat blew
oil", and be went back after it, leaving
bis horso nnd buggy standing in tho
road; then the dog took advantage of
liis master's absence to jump into the
buggy nnd start the animal, who trotted
gaily toward tho river, followed by tho
gentleman yelling "whoa," to no pur
pose. Ills faithful dog now took a posi
tion upon tlio seat, where bo could keei
an eye on his master nud another on the
steed, to see fair piny In the race. They
approached the Connecticut river, into
which tlio waggish brute drove, and,
keeping bis seat, floated out behind tho
hoi'so, who swum, after getting beyond
his depth. They were seen, nt this
juncture, by persons on tho south shore,
who put oil in a boat and got them
safely to land the dog in high gleo at
his succos-ftil experiment in driving
ami then went back after their owner,
who will, no doubt, leave that dog be
hind tlio next time lie goes torido. Tho
best of this story is its truth. Spring

EXECUTION OF A. B. WILEY.
Alexander B. Wiley wns executed In
Wilkesbnrre, Pa., on Thursday, tho 21st
Instant. Tlio Wyoming Vcternns wero
detailed for tiiooccaslon. Ho was hanged
at precisely two o'clock nnd flvo min
utes. When nsked by Sheriff Van Leer
If ho had anything to say, ho requested
Father Fltzslmmoiis to say forhlm that
ho was sorry for all that ho had dono,
not particularly In ruferenco to tho pres
ent, tho immcdiato past, or tlio future,
but for nil of his sins ; thnt ho was thank
ful for tho favors from tho Sheriff nnd
his officers during his confinement ; that
ho did not menu to tako tho life of Allco
M'Elweo; that ho forgavonll, especially
his prosecutors, and thnt ho had noth
ing moro to say. Tho body was cut
down after remaining suspended for 20
minutes, nnd wns delivered to tho un
dertaker. It was conveyed to tho Cnth
olic cemetery and Interred. Wiley
maintained throughout tho execution
the samo stoical Indifference which had
characterized him during his trial aud
confinement.
Tho prisoner made tho following con
fession prior to his execution :
" I am twenty-six yenrs of nge, and
was born nt Plymouth, In Luzerno coun
ty, Pa.; I followed canal business until
tho beginning of tho war; had no op
portunity for school education or relig
ious Instruction ; enlisted in tho army;
deserted eight times, nnd was sentenced
to ho shot ; at Gettysburg I deserted
again; then camo homo; I robbed Rob
ert Abbotts, who lives on tho plains, of
$700 ; I then robbed n shoo storo at
Blindtown." After mentioning a num
ber of other robbories ho continued :
' On tlio Hth of April lnt, I went with
two others to tho liouso of Mr. Hunger-
ford, opened tho door by n secret lntch,
and walked to the bed, but I had no
pistol ; I told tho old man I wanted his
money ; I demanded the key of hu
trunk; tho three with mo in tlio menu
timo built n firo, nnd cooked suppor;
wo only inndc S130 on that operation.
(The prisoner hero laughed.) After that
wo went to Wyoming county, nnd en
tered the liouso of Henry Kllsworth nnd
opened tho door nnd went in, but only
got $2 oh, yes, and managed to got nil
overcoat ; went into nnother liouso with
pistol ; tbero wero three of us ; wo
went into the bedroom ; there was n
mnn nnd his wife there ; I told them to
keep quiet ; wo only got n wntch anil
chain there. (The prisoner again laugh
ed.) We then went to tlio house of
iVbraham Ityman, his daughter was In
bed ; we searched tho bureau, but found
nothing nnd left. (Tho prisoner then
made n statement nbout the murder,
saying nbout this affair :) This girl, flvo
or six years ago, worked in n machlno
shop ; I went into tho nrmy ; when I
returned I found her destitute, nnd I
pnld her bonrd and kept her at a placo
called Blindtown ; what sho wanted I
provided her with until six or eight
months ago ; she wns In the hnbit of
seeing other men ; I wns not spnrklng
her; I did not enro much for her; on
tho morning of the shooting I went
tbero before daylight ; opened tho back
door and went to sleep ; slept there un
til Miller got up, when ho pushed mo
nnd snid, 'you devil, you?iro ngnin here.'
I then got up and went to Miller's bed ;
at eight o'clock Mary Fraco camo to tho
house nnd I got up; I jumped up with
a knife in tills hand, which I was play
ing with ; I stuck the knife in the table,
and then put It in my pocket; I toro
my coat doing so; Mrs. Miller then
offered to mend my coat, In. doing so
she found my revolver; I told her to
let it alono ; I did not want to injuro
this woman, M'Klweo ; my revolver had
only three loads in; I pointed it at Miss
Fraco in fun ; I did tlio samo to Mrs.
M'Kl wee ; I thought the pistol was only
half-cocked ; I did not intend to murder
her, thinking that tho barrel or tho
pistol I snapped was empty ; this is ull
I know of tho affair.
The richest man of tlie world, It is
said, will probably bo tho young Lord
Belgrave, the grand-son of tho Marquis,
of Westminster, if ho lives to inherit
tho property of tlio latter. The present
income of tho estate is estimated nt ",-
000 a day; but ten years benco, by tho
expiration of numerous long leases at
nominal rents it will probably be f 100,-
000. Karl Grosvencr Is tho father of
Lord Belgrave and the son of tho Mar
quis of Westminister. Lord Belgravo
Is now thirteen years of age.
The Wisconsin Assembly has passed,
by u vote of 0.1 to 2'.', a resolution to sub
mit to tlio people tho question of extend
ing tho sufl'rttgo to women. There Is a
good chance that its Senate will agree to
tho resolution, and the question be thu
outspread for discussion beforo tho peo
ple. Many a person thinks ho is honest
becausoho has never cheated. Instead
of that, ho is only honest because ho
has never been tempted. What tho
world calls "Innate goodness" is very
often n full stomach, nnd what it terms
vlco is quite ns frequently an empty
bread-basket.
