THE SILENT SEWING MACHINE!
AS A FAMILY ASSISTANT,
The Willcox & iiibbs Sewing Machine!
Will be found to excel all other*. Th ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation tv all !
kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
arc point* that astonish anil delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa
miliar with this Machine, do not yet know the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma
chine in the family, though they may po*»e»» many others and think they are satisfied.
In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,
That its strongest advocates and m< 4 enthusiastic admirers are always found among
th<)se uho have used and arc most familiar with other leading machines.
From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, wo iclcct the following
from the city of Augusta:
I
AUGUSTA, March, 1870.
Haring uaad the Willoox A Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon
all the various kinds of work required, sumo of us from one to six years, others for
a shorter time, some of us also bem; familiar with the use of other leading machines,
we cheerfully recommend it as a most exoeUeut family machine. It runs easily and
quietly, is simple and easy in its nanagemaut, does not get out of order, is always
ready, its work is strong and durable, and in all respects gives most entire satisfaction.

LETTER FROM IVALDODORV.
\V.vLr>OBOi:o\ March, 12th, 1»70.
7o the Editor oj the Kenntlec Journal:
Although our coast towns herein Maine
cannot boast ot the historical associations
attached to tho?e towns on the French
and English coasts, yet there is a speck of
the past so intimately connected with them
that one can almost imagine himself living
in the eighteenth century rather than in
the nineteenth, and especially is this so of
1 the town of Waldoboro’. Settled as it was
at an early period of our State’s history,
and by a colony direct from the mother
country, it is not at all strange that it
should differ some from towns settled
later and iurther inland, and these, by
immigrants not foreign but from the older
States (then provinces) of our union.
Nor is this all. Although not wholly a
century behind hand, there are yet many
things here which smack considerably ol
the last century's custom^. Here you find
still the old stage-coach in all its pristine
glory ; horse and ox teams, for the trans
portation of goods from town to town,
are still in vogue, many of the buildings
are of the last century’s pattern, and even
a few years ago, before they hail a steam
boat here, people visiting Boston went in
sailing packets, coasting schooners of
small tonnage.
There is still standing about a mile be
low the village on the western bank of the
river, but in rather a secluded spot, a
relict of “ye olden time” in the shape of a
! “meetin’ house.” This church edifice,
commonly called the old German Meeting
House, was built by the earliest German
j settlers in this section, and is now about
; a century and a quarter old. Its external
appearance, however, bears but little re
semblance to what is now-a-days called a
church. It is a large, square, two story
building.weather stained, dingy and black
from age, with here and there a clapboard
torn off and a window pane cracked and
broken. It has no towering spire point
ing heavenward from its ponderous roof,
no cross caps its gable end, and even the
green blinds which we are so accustomed
to see are absent. The interior corre
sponds in a measure with the exterior.
You see no circular pews finished in but
ternut, chcsmit and black walnut woods,
no stained windows with biblical symbols,
no chancel with its baptismal tout, no pas
sages of scripture in letters of gold, no
Raphael's “ascension," or the thousand
and one other designs which adorn a
modern church. But instead pews plain
and unpainted, without cushions, and
large enough to hold families such as they
used to have; a queer looking arrange
ment, called a pulpit, is conspicuously
placed on the wall at one end half way to
the ceiling, and is reached by a spiral
stair-way : the walls have perhaps1 never
seen white wash, andci rtainly not fresco;
the floor i- carpetless; a gallery encircles
the whole and this so low that a six footer
I could easily draw himself up into it. Yet
i here in lids plain old fashioned auditory
i have congregated, Sunday after Sunday
for the past one hundred years and up
words, the staunch old Germau stock of
this town, fathers, mothers, sisters, and
brothers, one generation after another, to
listen to the word of God as preached to
them in their own language by those
chosen aud educated to the ministry.
Perhaps a brief mention of a few of thn
clergymen, who have presided over this
church, may not come amiss in this place.
Having no settled minister at first,Charles
Leisnor, an agent of Gi n. Waldo', officiat
ed as religious teacher *. ill his death which
occurred in 1760. Some time after this
rather a queer specimen of the Reverend
Mr. was settled over the parish, one John
Martin Sha* tier by name. He agreed with
the. society on condition of having a lot of
land as a si ttlcment and £.i and two days
work yearly from each settler. He was a
smart preacher and a good singer and was
thought to be a man of great learning,
although this is some what doubted. Not
satisfied with bis income as a preacher he
practiced as a physician also, and gained
much fame as well a- wealth by blood let
ting and dealing out medicine. He made
many ot his people believe it was neces
sary to be bled every spring for which he
received a regular fee of fifty cents from
each individual of adult age. As wealth
increased restraint was thrown off and
his vices appeared without a blush. “Ha
was very profane, grew intemperate and
though a stirring preacher .gradually lost
all influence as a minister and a man.”
In 17Jd Frederick Augustus Rodolphus
BeuedicUis ltiu, a native of Germany,
was settled over the church as its pastor.
He was educated iu his uative country at
the University of Ilelmstadt, and remain
ed with the people of Waldoboro', till
his death, which occurred in ltjll.
I have not been able to ascertain when
preaching ceased, hut no services are htdil
in the church at the present day, if 1 may
except an occasional funeral service. Its
old members have passed away,and a new
generation choose to worship in churches
