LOCAL AND PERSONAL
Sewing Machines. The "Song of
the Shirt" is no longer a reality, as Hood
tang it. The woman he saw in "unwom
anly rairs,"
riving her needle and thread,
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,"
ivlw over the buttons fell asleep,
' And sewed them on in a dream,"
is one of the remembrances of woman's
d:irk ages. Sewing machines have snatch
m1 seamstresses from early graves. They
have stopped that "sewing with a double
tin cad"
'A shroud as well as a shirt."
Woman can now sit down to a pretty ar
ticle of furniture and in a few hours do
the work her poor sister was wont to &tcal
the night to accomplish in time. The
poor girls who stitched, stitched, stitched
lite things of death, are superseded by a
jievcr weary sewer which gives to all about
a pervading air of life. The Irishman
who first saw a steam paddy, after witness
ing its Herculean labors for some time
with astonishment and dismay, discovered
one consolation in the fact that the "div
lish thing1 couldn't vote." Let .some cuu
ning Yankee invent a machiue for wash
ing ami ironing, that will do its work well,
nnd wc are not sure that the old-fashioned
sewing machine,
-One of the kind that a man can love,
That we irs a shawl and a soft kid glove :
lln the merriest eye and a dainty foot,
Aal .-ports the charmingost gaiter hoot;
And a bonnet with feather,, and ribbons
and loops,
With an indefinite number of hoops."
will not be relieved of the inability so
consoling to Patrick. What will a woman
d) but plunge into the vortex of politics !
I ho is not ul raid these labor-savin'' ma
chine are furnished time to plot revolu
tions . 1 crhaps some of us 1'enedicts
laay live to see the time when permission
will have to be obtained from our better
halves to wear our breeches. Who knows?
Cant Piirasks. We clip from an ex-
cmnge the lollowing lamentable wail on
t'l-r evils of cant phrases. The writer ev
idently wishes to introduce a reform in
literature and evcrthing else, and respect
fully dedicate his effort to those who talk
the language :
authors are fond of slang phrases
".oritoun lcil improper they look !)
Th'j'f grtting fts "plenty as bbizcK,"
And perpetrate "just like a book."
Tbc people of other professions
K m those who "can't keep a hotel"
lu-lnle in these faulty expressions.
Au l enjoy the results of a "sell."
EVu ladiet Cod bless 'eni ! why will they
l'riil in the.ie rant words "on the sly?"
How wonderful l'ooli-h mid silly
Ii "pretty boy with the glass eeP
Vn'itKr "snips," with their beards slowly
sprouting,
Wii! -imbibe'' till they reel and are sick,
An.go through tho Mreets wildly shouting,
' 1 :n ( U'i ) such a jolly old -brick' I"
Some -victims" 'gainst law have a "grudge:"
One, -with a white hat," I heard say,
Notwithstanding that feller's a -judge,'
II-s -.Nliirhtually' 'over the bay "
h a Man is unlucky and poor,
And deprived of the means to get bread,
!!- told to "dry up" by a score,
Ihcauae he hain't got 'nary red.'"
How rude is the sound of "old horse,"
And "Johnny Roach," too, is as bad ;
It exciter in our ho.-oms remorse
A well as the "last run of shad."
'm editors, give us a "lift;"
"r me evil you 11 certainlv rue.
What of it, if people are " miffed ?'
The v. oild will cry, "Bully for you 1"
loS, Io YOU HEAR THAT. Under
he above head, the Ilollidavsbur' Rrtjis-
ir says : "Andrew Carnegie has been
roinotcd to the honorable and responsible
"Mtion of Superintendent of tlte Western
division of the I'enna. Ilailroad ! Only
ft few years ago he went into the service
the Com pan j' in the capacity of an er
r;md boy for the Superintendent's office
ht J'itt.-lurg. From that humble position
' his present jroud one, he has made his
Y'ay with no other helps or influences than
: faithful and watchful regard to the in
1' rests of his employers and a careful and
nrompt discharge of the duties of his
p l.u e. Ifc l;w received the reward of
Jnerit j and his success is such a striking
incentive to like conduct ou the part of
hoys in all places that you should nev
' r forget it. lit.- attentive, be industrious,
finest and iaitliful, like Mr. Carnegie,
nd like him sooner or later vou will evt
,l rich reward." Mark that, boys and
iris.
Icr Houses. Wc notice that several
'"Mings f jr the preservation of the "warm
eather luxury" ice; are being erected
)" some of our citizens this winter. Well,
f i ice house is certainly a nice thing, and
f ' Jo to like an iced lemonade. From
rcnt indications, we think there will
no difficulty in obtaining the wherewith
11 them.
Fashions. As an item of interest to
our lady readers, we insert the followin
paragraph : "Bonnets at Paris are in
creasing daily in size. They are very
nign in tront, come over the forehead, and
entirely conceal the hair; frightfulthings,
I think. Belts of gold and silver braTd'
w ith old shaped buckles, like little shields,
are the rage ; they are mostly enamelled
with Byzantine, Chinese or arabesque de
sigus, and are very handsome. Then there
are the most extraordinary trimmings for
dresses, perfectly military, called Garni
ture des Guides, Garniture de 7 Etat Ma
jor ; they are made up of epaulettes, ai-
gmlletee, cords, &c, in gold and ribbon
lace, and jet beads. The moire antique,
superb as it is, has ceded to satin ; some
tartans in thiS stuff are exquisite. Hoops
arc descending and increasing in size; the
lower circumference of a lady's dress is
something marvellous."
Col. William A. Todd. Our esteem
ed friend, William A. Todd, Esq., of Indi
ana, has been for some time back serious
ly indisposed by disease of the liver. We
are sorry to say that his illness has been
of that malignant character that but little
hope has been eutertainedof his recovery;
the last accounts, however, give some indi
cations for hope that he may yet be spared
for further usefulness in his various rela
tions. The Colonel is a gentleman pos
sessing talents of a high order, and has ar
rived at a full degree of eminence in his
profession as a lawyer, while his manly and
generous bearing have won for lfiin a large
circle of friends who feel a deep interest
in his restoration to health. Blairsvdle
Record.
Those Seoars. Our paper of last
week, containing that small notice of the
superiority of M'Cague's cigars, had hard
ly been issued, when that generous and
w hole-souled iudivividual, with an eye sin
gle to the our wants, laid on our table a
box of the identical llabauas. We can
safely state that we did them entire jus
tice, and while the fragrant and perfumed
volumes of smoke arose from them, we
thought pityingly on those unfortunate
fellow beings who were condemned to
puff at cheap cigars and short-stemmed
pipes, while M'Caguc kept those on baud.
Another Lamp Explosion. It would
appear as if pine-oil is unusually explo
sive, or jcople unusually careless, or lamps
unusually dilapidated, just at present. On
Monday night, the lamp which lights the
store of Thomas Devine, Esq., being iu a
leaky condition, caught fire, but was ex
tinguished before any damage was done.
After a few more episodes of like charac
ter, we would not be at all surprised 4o
hear of the sudden abandonment of the
use of pine-oil and fluid, to a great extent,
by our citizens. Be careful, at all events.
JrooED. On Monday last, numerous
highly inebriated and very pugnacious in
dividuals, strangers in attendance at Court,
were arrested and "sent up," in conse
quence of their desire to break each oth
er's heads and the peace of the borough.
They seemed considerably disgusted at the
want of appreciation by our citizens ot
their scientific attainment, as also at their
non-combatant dispositions. Served them
right !
Liberal. The citizens of Bock Islaud
must be a patriotic and liberal set. The
Washington Monument Contribution Box,
for that place, which had been up just
one month, was opened lately, and the
contents counted up, when it was found
that the grand total amounted to just 28
cents ! Wait until you hear the monthly
report of our box the one that M'Cague,
the Tost Master, is putting up !
Lyceum. The following question has
been selected for discussion at the Lyceum
on Friday evening next :
Unsolved. "That the United States Govern
ment should not pay the expenses of the trial
ami execution of the Harper's Ferry Insurrec
tionists." The lecture which was announced in
our last issue to be delivered on the loth,
has been postponed until Friday evening,
the 10th iust. Admission ten cents.
Returned. Our friends, J. Fatton
Thompson, with Aldridge & Co., and Jas
M. Thompson, with Wardlc & Stevenson,
Philadelphia, have returned on a visit to
their mountain home. May they enjoy it!
An Editor Gone. We find the fol
lowing in the Indiana papers : "Married,
on the 1st instant, by the Rev. P. Blair,
Mr. Georoe Row, Jr., to Mia Sarah J.
Myers, Loth of White township.
Hen M'Pike, the junior editor of the
