V I have been using one of Grover &
’ Baker’s Sewing Machines for nearly
two years, and! take pleasure in re
commending it to the favor of all fami- 1
lies. It is very simple and easy work- j
ed in all kinds of coarseand fine sewing,
doing it with neatness and strength.— |
1 would particularly recommend those j
machines to planters and farmers, as
being admirably adapted to all planta
tion sewing
In my county there are a number,
owned in different families, and with
out an exception they give universal

Excellent ami Valuable Publications.
Wo have received a call and cata- j
logue from Mr. J. Cumming, Agent for
various new works and new editions is
sued by Messrs Blakik & Son, 117 Ful
ton Street New York. Among the j
works we notice a Magnificent Imperial
Family Bible., to be issued in 38 parts, at
02 1-2 cents each, which excels any edi
tion of the scriptures we have ever seen.
The Imperial Gazetteer, in parts, 50 cents
each—the whole sl7,—is an invaluable
work for geographical reference. Italy,
illustrated, is also an elegant work. — |
We have not time, to-day to mention I
other of the elegant publications, which j
can only be obtained from Mr. Cumming, j
the Southern Agent. He will remain
in our city, and as soon as he ob
tains a regular office, will make furth
er announcement of his works in our
colums.

The Chinese have a proverb : “The .

\ of Grubb, occupied three
week at Burlington, in Boone
Ky.
It will be remembered that a sister of
Hardesty was seduced by Grubb, and
that Hardesty told the seducer that he
would give him six months to make
choice between marrying the girl and
being killed. The six months expired,
and Grubb not having married the girl,
Hardesty met him, and on sight shot
him. The evidence showed that Grubb
was armed also in expectation of the at
tack, but shot in the act of darning his
weapon.
The trial ended Thuisday, and the ver
dict of the jury was, not guilty. The
following is the substance of the judg
ment pronounced by Judge Nutall upon
the verdict of not guilty by the jury in
behalf of Hardesty.
Judgment of the Court. —Sir : You have
been indicted by a grand jury of your
county upon a most heinous charge.—
You have put yourself upon your coun
try and your God for deliverance. You
have had a fair and impartial trial be
fore them, and they have both pronoun
ced you not guilty, and so say I. It may
not be proper forme to express my sen
timentsyet, nevertheless, I will do it.— j
Young man ! had I been wronged as
you have been, I would have spent every |
dollar I had on earth, and all that IJ
could have begged and borrowed and!
then starved upon the track of the
villain, but I would have imbrued my
bands in his blood. Go lienee without
delay. You are acquitted!
THIRTY IFTH CONGRESS.
Washington, May 3, 1858.
SENATE.
The morning hour was occupied in
the discussion of Mr. Chandler’s motion

viding for the establishment of a line of!
steamships between certain ports of the

Mr. Pugh gave notice of his intention |

priation hill, and adjourned.
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr. Gartrell, a resolu
tion was adopted that the daily hour}
for the meeting of the house, on and J
after Wednesday next, be 11 o’clock in
stead of 12 o'clock.
j Mr. Stephens gave notice that to
j morrow, at 1 o’clock, he would move
Ito take up the Senate bill for the ad
! mission of Minnesota.
I On motion of Mr. Stephens, Wednes

torial business.

Mr. Clemens objected.
Mr. Green moved a suspension of the

mittee of the Whole on the state of the

Ithe Legislature, executive, and judicial!
expenses of Government for tue year!

The House adjourned without coming
to a conclusion on the subject.
Discovery of n Cave.
Great excitement has been created in
Brooklyn by the announcement of the
discovery of a cave, near the Green
| wood entrance. Thousands have al
| ready flocked to see it. The discovery
was made by two boys connected with
I Public School No. 2, who wore playing
on a hill near the entrance to Green
wood, when the embankment gave way
and they fell, and discovered the open
ing of a cave. The boys fled upon this,
and informed some gentlemen, who
proceeded to explore the place. About J
one hundred feet from the entrance!
they found a large room, with shelves!
all around, upon which were numerous}
bottles, some full of liquor and some!
jempty. In the middle of the room was!
a table, containing books, and a large!
lantern was suspended from the ceiling.!
After being in the cave a short time,
the gentlemen heard a horrid noise, as
if proceeding from human beings or
wild beasts, which caused them to boat
a retreat.
The length of the cave has not yet I
been ascertained. The purpose forj
which this place was used is a subject
of much discussiou. The general sup
position is that it lias been a deu of
robbers.

While the Losses have been exceedingly heavy, they have been met with
promptitude in adjustment, and by ttie payment of claims, which lias elicited the un
qualified approbation of those who have been the sufferers. This Company is
determined to maintain its character and credit by prompt payment of Loss to the In
sured, and this rule will he continued and strictly adhered to in all cases.

Extract from the Rejort of the Agent of the Omptrotler of the State of New York.
Hon. S. E. Church, Comptroller, Sfc.
Dear Sir Agreeably to your request, I have examined, I believe critically
and fully, the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance and
Trust Company. 1 have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are well
, kept, but the Assets under the heads of Cash on Hand, Bills Receivable, and
Stock Notes, and feel perfectly safe in reporting to you that the four items of
“Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” “Unsettled Premiums,” “Bills Re
ceivable,” and "Stock Notes.” amounting to $93,858, are good, and available to
the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some paint
to ascertain the value of the Stool s held by the Company, having visited the sev
eral Companies and conversed fully and freqly with their respective officers.
The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and Fourth
streets, is a very fine freestone building, well built and admirably arranged; it*
location is one of tbe best for business purposes in Philadelphia. I have called
upon the gentleman who built it, and sold it to the Company, who informed me
that it cost hlin over $70,000 cash. 1 think this property would be a good in
vestment at $75,000.
The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company are all
good for the amount stated, and cover property worth at least fifty percent, more
than the amount lor which they are mortgaged.
From this statement it will be seen that this Company should receive your
Certificate. I desire to arid that the Company seems to be intelligently and pru
dently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confidenceof thie business men
of Philadelphia. [Signed] L. S. ( HA I MELD,
February 14, 1858. Agent of Comptroller of Aew York.
