THE SILENT SEWING MACHINE!
_
AS A FAMILY ASSISTANT,
The Willeox & tiibbs Sewing Machine!
Will be found to excel all others. The t use with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all
kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
arc points that astonish and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa
miliar with this Machine, do not yet kn“W the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma
chine in llie family, though they may possess many others and think they are satisfied.
In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,
That its strongest advocates aiul moenthusiastic admirers arc always found among
those who have used and arc most familiar with other leading machines.
From the thousands of testimonials front all parts of the country, we select the following
from the city of Augusta:
AUGUSTA, March, 1870.
Having used the Willoox A Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon
all the various kinds of work require 1, acme of us from oue to six years, others for
a shorter time, some of us also beim familiar with the use of other leading machines,
we cheerfully reoommond it as a ino-t excellent family machine. It runs easily and
quietly, is simple and easy in its in uiagement, does not got out of order, is always
ready, its work is strong and durable, and in aU respects gives most entire satisfaction.

CAVITAL VCXI8IIMENT.
Tho New York Post says a few more
such executions as that of Bohner and
Bodenbcrg, at Huntingdon Penn, on tho
9th will speedily put an end to capital
punishment, for the reason that they are
not so much summary executions as shame
ful public exhibitions. The execution
was legally private, as it is in moat of the
states, but it was in reality public, and
tickets to \ iew it were sold like tickets to
a theatre or any show. The Post says:
Practically, the execution was as public
as if it had been in the centre of Indepen
dence Square, in Philadelphia. During
two or three days before the hanging,
thrifty citizens w’tve busy putting up plat
forms which overlooked the enclosure,
and sold standing-places on them at high
prices. Ail the roofs and windows in view
were similarly and profitably let. The
owner of a barn close by bored numerous
auger-holes through the boards, and each
hole was temporarily rented for a hand
some fee to eager eyes.
The gallows made a gala day for the
whole region roundabout. Every train
dropped car-loads of spectators. Early in
the morning wagons from the surround
ing village brought in not only men, but
their wives and daughters—these last in
overwhelming numbers and dressed in
their best, as fora festical or fair. Of
course, the citizens of Huntingdon shut
up their shops and houses, and tilled the .
streets; the hanging and gossip about it
were the sole business of the day.
We do not care to dwell upon the details
of the hanging itself-—more than to men
tion that, according to the reports, one of
the clergymen displayed a fussy anxiety,
which was almost levity, in announcing
the programme of the procession, and
telling who was to sing, who was to pray
in English, who was to pray in Herman
(showing that the prayers wore to be ad
dressed mainly to the auditors,) and gen
erally acting as master of ceremonies, or
manager of the show. It is painfully
noteworthev that one of the victims, who
is described as a most prepossessing young
man, of excellent education, persisted to
the last in protesting his innocence. This
cannot but excite pity—pity if he told the
truth and far more pity if "he died with a
lie on his lips.
Tec death of those two men concerned
themselves mainly: the manner of it con
cerns the whole community, the whole
country; and the fact that this, like most
executions—for the private ones seem to
be the most public—was only a shocking
show to gratify curiosity which, to ns,
seems criminal, will be felt ns an argu
ment against capital punishment more
powerful than many pages of essays. In
fact the best way to stop capital punish
ment would seem to be to let it go on a
little longer.
