machines are not the thing lor family sew ing. Kead the following: One "prominent defect of the double thread loop stitch is the waste of thread in forming it. Each yard of seam requires on an average 7J yard-t ot thread, or twice and one half the amount required by the "lock stitch." An estimate may be easily mad of the comparative expense ot using the two. In the skirt mat.ufac tory of Messrs. Douglass Sherwood, a day's work of ten hours for oaa perton is estimated at 1,000 yaras of utraight Beam ten stitcbes to the inch, with the lock stitch machines, which they use this length of seam requires three thousand yards of cotton thread, aud with the dou ble thread chain or knitting stitch machine, 7,500 yards would be required.

The coKt of 3,000 yards of cotton thread would be $1,35 at wholesale, and the coBt of 7,506 ynrds would ba $3,10, making a difference of $1,85 a day in this item alone, or more than $5,000 a year with costlier thread or silk (at present prices at lf.ll per pound,) the difference would be much greater. In fahirt and collar manufacture, where the stitch is finer, and less length of seam is sewed, the difference per day is only about i9 cents in lavor ot the lock: stitch ma chine. In a manufactory like that of Winchester Davies. where one hundred and sixty of these machines are used, the saving is $1,20 per day. The result is that the chain or knitting-stitch is not used on this work.

In auilting, where silk is used, the difference each day would amonnt to mote than two dollars and twenty five cents i each machine. Sci entific American. he Wheeler Wilson is the best ma chine for family use. Office No. 27 Fifth street.

NewKallrowil to the onl Fieldt A broud guue railroad from West (ireenville, in this State, on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad to the im niense coal-beds of sonth eRatern Mercer county, Butler and AriDstrocg counties, says the Warren Ledger, i 3 projected. Ex tensive and tavorhble coal leases have been made as far eastward as Brady's Bend. It has long been known that veins of coal of great thickness underlie the section ol country through which this road proposes to paas.

We are credibly informed that the vein of coal in the region of the head titer ot Rrdliver creek actually renrhcg the remarkable thicbnrss ol twenty-one feet, itnd that it is of the finest quality. Iron ire, limPAtoue, Ac also abound in this region, aiid indeed all along the ium oi the projected road. New York capitalists, hi are ever on the alert to discovt-r ana take advantago of any ent rpriae whic bids fur to yield a Urge profit, are invest or heavily in these coal lands. I hey are fully awnre of their immense Value, and know full well that ere long there wili be easy and cheap outlets by which the CO.il and other mineral deposits of the region referred to, may reach the market. Pen nsy Ivan tans rhould look to their inter ests in this matter.

And it might be well for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to cast about, and ascertain whether it cannot extend pome of its lines in that direction. Should it, by the want of proper on-Mght and eni-ryy, lo the carrying trade ol the vast deposits ol oil, coal, iron Ac, in Mercer, Butler and Armstrong counties, it would bo an incalculable ions. The Latk Crsiohton. At the funeral of the late Col. Creighton, at Cleveland, Rev.

Clooks closed his address ith the following fervent appeal in be half of those whose hearts have been cl.j ven by the buttle axe ot war: "1 new ask you to join with luo in onu tervent prayer to the tied of the aged, the fatherless, and thfl widow, our fathers' God, and the God of battles, tLni he will by nis Almighty arm posliiin, and he h'i4 abundant grace comfort the ai.i mothers, and bereaved widows, and iilllicted frier.ds of onr brave soldiers, and their departed sons, him bands and brothers; that He will thus sualain and comfort all whose heirts have been cloven by the battle axe of wrr, that lie vill abundiititly shield, help, blpss, and comfort onr brave soldiers upon the fiVld, in tho hospitulrf, and prisoners in the bunds of our enemten, and that he will speedily bestow upon our imperilled country the inestimable blessirgs of an honorable, r.ghte.ous, and lading peace." The Rattigan Cask The investiga tion in this cise was resumed at ten o'clock, at Alderman Donelsou's office today. Some ten witnesses were examined, but their teHtimooy threw no new liht. on the nlTiiir. Tho case having now been under investigation almost month, and there being no prospect of oblainirg any further fpsiimony in the matter, it. was resolved to I ring the tii.tf.ter to a clone, and the jury after Laving cnretully revit-wed the evideuce, found a verdict deceas ed came to his death from it jaries irflicted on him on the night of the 14th o( November by some person or prrsous to the jury unknown.

Thus drops the curtain over this mysterious case, and probably the causes which 1-d to the death of Mr. Rat-tigan will never bo revealed. Land Warrants The following from Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, will be of interest, to purchasers and holders of land "At the last session of Congress land wnrrantH were gnvr.ted to the States for the support of agricultural colleges.

He fell overboard at Medoc Bar, and after swiming ashore, footed it down to Lawrenceburg, where he took the railroad, overtaking the Lady Pike at Evansville. This will be cheering news for hi family, in Rochester, ho had good reason to fear that he waa drowned. UbWoodt.
