Will be found to excel all others. The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all j kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its Superior Strength and Durability of Work, are points that astonish and 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 possess many others and think they are satisfied. In proof of this assertion is the significant fact, lhat its strongest advocates and most enthusiastic admirers are always found among those who have used and arc most familiar with other leading machines. From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, we select the following from the city of Augusta: AUGUSTA, March, 1870. Having used the Willeox Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon I all the various kinds of work required, some of us from ono to six years, others tor a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with tho use of other leading machines, we cheerfully recommend it as a most excellent family machine. It runs easily and Quietly, is simple and easy in its management, does not gel out of order, is always ready, its work is strong and durahle, and in all rospects gives most entire satisfaction Mrs. S.

Among them was “Porte ('rayon,” ol Harper'- Magazine, and i Volek, the sculptor. One of the party thus describes the scenery “The glen is a gorge, cut through the solid rock by the water, which finds an 1 outlet into the lake, after many tortuous windings and eddying.-, forming cascades j and rapids at every few steps. It was first brought into notice in lStiS, when stair cases were built so as to render the first section passable. Bridges have been thrown across the various chasms, stairs constructed, and footways cut in the rocks, which form a complete wall on either side, so that now the glen is open to visitors for some mile or more. This strange freak of nature is well worthy of a visit during the summer months. At the present season, when the rains have swollen tin; streams, the scene of this wild place is rendered more striking. The roar of water as it dashes from rock to rock, now forming pools and eddies, now falling with a sullen boom into the basins of solid rock w hieb ha\ e been worn smooth and circular by huge boulders washed down in the fall, and whirled round and round by the waters. Towering above, high walls shut out the sunlight, while lichens and mosses cling to thy strata, and pines and hemlocks find a doubtful loot hold at dizzy heights or shoot out from rifts along the sides, at times falling across the narrow gorge, forming a bridge, or leaning away out over the waters, uncer tain whether to plunge below orelingto their scant foothold. The dripping of water is heard on all sides. A constant current of damp air sweeps through the narrow place, and a solemn silence, save the roar of waters, always prevails. No animal life is seen, the song of cheerful birds finds no echo in this dismal place, the nimble squirrel avoids it, a solitary toad may sometimes be seen peering out from its damp abode among the dripping rocks, but all other signs of life are absent. I The stream of water whieh flows through i this narrow gorge winds around the rocks so th* further progress seems at times completely barred. A few steps, howev er, reveal a rift through which the tourist emerges into still stranger formations of rock and water. .lust above Glen Alpha, or the first glen, and away up on the right of the rugged sides, surrounded by foli age, is now being constructed a commo dious hotel.” Pure Drugs Chemicals FOB SALE At the Lowest Rates 1 TOILET AJATIOXiES, FRENCH, ENGLISH, DOMESTIC SOAPS, CAMPIIOU ICE, Dentifrices, English ('old Cream, 1 Coudray’s Cosmetique and Pomade, Bay Bum, German and Domestic Cologne, Hair Oils, Dressings, Restorers and Dyes, Perfumery, Sachet Bags, Toilet Powders, Moth and Freckle Lotions, Camelia Balm, Laird’s Bloom of Youth, Hagan’s Magnolia Balm, Barnes’ Mag nolia Water, Shaving Cream and Soaps, Shaving Brushes, Razor Strops, Nail Files and Cleaners.

Hocal antr g'tatc Kctost. Decoration or Soldier** Grave*. Comrade* of the tented field. Who with life your fealty sealed. We have gathered here to yield Homage to the brave. Gift;* we bring from peaceful hours, Tributes to heroic powers; Garlands of sweet summer flowers For each honored grave. Comrades of the troubled days When the battle’s torch ablaze, Mirrored on each saddened gaze Helpless wrecks of War l While our hearts with anguish bleed O’er the sorrows then decreed. Here we bless each noble deed,— AU thou struggled for. Peaceful be your sacred sleep! While we o’er your ashes weep, We reuew the ’pledge to keep Laurels for the brave. Far beyond the bounds of pain. K’en the humblest hero slain, Glorified shall rise again, Victor o’er the grave! The interesting and beautiful memorial ser vice of decorating with flowers the graves of Etoldicrs in the cemeteries in this city, was performed yesterday under the direction of the Capital Guards, the newly organized mili tary company. A profusion of flowers was provided by the ladies who have labored with assiduity to make the floral offering one befit ting the occasion. Some of the graves were most elaborately and tastily decorated, the friends of the deceased having provided spec ial offerings of flowers. There were exquisite bouquets, wreaths and crosses formed from the many-colored flowers that adorn at the present time the beautiful gardens in our city. No grave was neglected. Those who filled un known graves were remembered. However tbs cure the mound, it was not passed by. Though «ievcr hallowed by the tears of near ind dear friends, the sweet incense of flowers Biade each humble mound an altar of praise. The Capital Guards, after collecting the flowers, marched from their headquarters to Mt. Pleasant cemetery, where a stand had be en erected for the speake'rs. The ranks of the company were quite full, and under the Command of Capt. E F. Wyman, proceeded without music to the cemetery. The magni ficent weather and the solemn and interesting lervices had brought out a large multitude of people, some of those present coming miles With their families to witness or take part in llie ceremonies. The Band from the Military Asylum, appeared in a neat uniform, and fur nished some fine music for the occasion. Hon. J. T. Woodward, from the committee of arrangements, called upon comrades and friends to assist in the beautiful and solemn Service for which they had assembled at the closing hours of the sacred day. After music hv the Band, a fervent prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Martin ot this city. A hymn of Peace was sung by the congre gation, led by a select choir. An address was then made by Rev. Mr. Penney of this city. He said that the hour we spend here is sacred to the memory of ;hose who gave their lives a sacrifice to their country. The flowers we scatter speak more strongly than words in remembrance of the dead who rest here. There is a voice that comes to ns e^er from these silent resting places. Although dead, they yet speak to as—speak to us as friend speaks to friend. They speak of the past, and bring hark to nemory hours of deliverance, when these men vent forth to battle for country and tor God. [)h 1 how we remember those days, that seem ed to us like a lung procession marching to :he grave. But they speak to us farther; hey tell us that to give life for liberty and the ruth is glorious and Godlike; that it is bet er to sacrifice than to enjoy; better to rest icre a sacrifice to a united and happy coun ;ry, than to live in ease and luxury in a coun ry rent and sundered. They thus speak to is noble words, that call us away from selfish tnds and purposes. Every grave which we leek to-day rebukes him whose sole object is fieasure, wealth or fame. They tell us to trize highly what has been secured at so great t cost. Because they died our nation ives to-day, and we stand upon a higher >lane of civilization than ever before. I'hc land is marked all over by the finger of Jod, teaching us that rebellion is ruin to hose who engage in it. If we would be true o the memory of those we honor to-day, wc hall seek to hold inviolate the principles vhich they gave their lives to perpetuate. _,et God be honored. Let the ballot become he emblem of truth and justice, and the prin :iples of right permeate every department of he government. In this light the future ises up grandly before us. These graves speak to us of suffering, sac •ificc and death endured for high and holy mrposes—lives laid down for the lives of alters. Ilow do they suggest to the mind lint who lived our pattern and died our sac ifice. How does this day and this service emind us of the stone rolled away and the mpty tomb. Let us not forget to render to lint the tribute of grateful hearts. The hymn was sung commencing “Nearer, my Hod, to thee Rev. Mr. Moor of this city, was the next pcaker. He said the soldiers in memory of horn these services are rendered, need them ot. They have finished their work and en ered upon their eternal destiny. The flowers •9 scatter are not as sweet as the incense? of icir lives. The flags we place upon their raves show that they are inarching on to ietory. The monuments that have been or lay be raised will crumble to dust, before ley shall be forgotten, or their influence ■use to bless mankind. Every true service eneflti those wtio perform it, and we may be tade better by engaging in the present ser ice. Every flower we give starts new flow rs of life in the heart. They quicken the eart and clear the vision. So while we con ecrate anew these graves by these beautiful flerings, let us consecrate our hearts and ives to the country suved to us by heroes’ lood. Here in this cemetery, at the capital f the Pine Tree State, a monument should lie rectcd to those men and the cause for which ley died. But more than monuments of stone re the monuments of true patriotic and hristian deeds. These we should seek to rcct in all our hearts. Rev. Mr. Kelley, Chaplain of the National [ilitarv Asylum at Togus, was called for, and lokc eloquently of the great wars that had een waged for purposes of military heroism, ime or renown; but that the war in which ur martyred heroes were engaged was one >r Liberty. These men formed a solid wall f flesh und steel against the onward march f despotism, and all the interests of humun y were involved in the struggle. These flowers which we lay upon their graves will Aide, but the laurels which they w *n will he forever green. The chairman here announced that the Rev. 1 Dr. Kicker was necessarily absent from the city, and could therefore take no part in the exercises. The choir and congregation then ung “My country, ’tis of thee,” after which the graves were decorated. This service having been accomplished, the Guards and friends returned to the stand and the benediction was pronounced by Re'. Mr. Up j john of this city, which closed the exercises of the day. Tlie services throughout were simple and impressive. No attempt at display was made, j hut, on the contrary, all seemed to remember I that itwvas the Sabbath and that in 1 d it was i hallow J ing. More than one hundred graves were I decorated in the different ecmeteri-J ol the city. This is the third year of the observance of this beautiful and most appropri tie cere mony. As flic years go by and those who now bring their fragrant offerings to the graves of fallen comrades shall drop out from the i ranks and join the great proccs-i u of the dead, may their places he filled by those who shall inherit their patriotism and the. grateful remembrance of the heroic dead.

One hundred Fenians at I’otsdam Junction i attempted the seizure of the train of the t>g- i densburg Lake Champlain Kailroad going east, but were repulsed by tT. S. troops. Kach train is'now furnished with a guard of j regulars. Deputy Marshal Benedict refused J to provide transportation for the Fenians at Malone, who desire to return home. Gen.

The leaders are in the hands of the civil authorities, and all is quiet along the lines. The government t will not provide transportation for the one thousand to fifteen hundred Fenians remain- ing in Malone and vicinity, and Gen. Meade is of the opinion that railroad companies must do this at their own expense, as they received full fare for bringing them here. The Gcn'l reports that they are behaving very well, and not disposed to he violent, and only desire to return to their home. He- is confident that there will he no further trouble. 1 tiow, N. Y..
