SEWING MACHINES.

Mary sat in her snuff little room, And happier seemed then a quees, J_* shes*ng with a sweet, merry voice, Tub song of the Sewing Machine. Mr. Dinjsths ia one of the most perserering >»•_ of the city, and he seems to act upon the principle which was promulgated seme years ago by the celebrated Peter Parley (Dr. Goodrich), that taking care of number two was the best way of taking care of one's ■elf; or in any other words, by benefitting others you cannct fail ia bringing more than consolation to yourself. Shakespeare, in illustration of the same idea, saya in his "Merchantof Venice :" — "Mercy is twice blessed, It b.esseth him that gives and him that takes." Tr. Dennes is not an old settler, but since he ■ business in this city he has • l^fcjiow much can be effected in combining V^»*jplence with business, and by pleasant ' *^a>tive and musical lectures which tend * .vW * charm around toil, and make *T-w s«® w'nS J118,0^16 a means of pro nwble aua pleasurable exercise. Ia a re-

I Cent .ecture Mr. DennesTthus referred to , tihis now fashiorFible lady's friend. After speaking of the rapid strides that have been made bolh in the manufacture and sale of sewing machine?, Mr Dennes said:—

"Thousands upon thousands of ingenious artizans are daily at work in England, America, France, aud Germany, and far more, than a million sewing machines are annually sold, and over a million families thus rendered happy, to a certain degree afc least. Somehow, thisre is a faciuation about the sewing machine that attracts all ages of the fair se:c, from the prattling girl sf five or six, to the old aud demure lady of sixty; a fascination so strong thar, it makes Jozy housewives into industrious needlewomen. Many and many a lady that I have known, who thoroughly devested the everlasting wear ing stitch by hand, regard sewing by the machine as a pleasant; pastime, second only to the piano ; and some of these days, doubt less, we shall have a sewing machine invented thas will play some fine operatic tunes whilst the operator is manufacturing some useful over or under garments." We Kotioe, by an advertisement in the. Evening Stab, that Mr Demies has offered a prize of a Itrsv.-class sewing machine for the best rendering of a glse by members of the Various tonic sol-fa slaeses, and similar prizes are about to be offered in other directions ir« connection with odier improvement societies. Mr ..'ennes has a number of pictures on their way out, illustrative of foreign travel, and natiual history, for the purpose of future limelight- exhibitions of cities, animals, and homes made without-, hands. The Queen street establishment, moreover, of MrDennes is worthy_a visit, as it contains no less than forty different sewing machines of various prices, style, aud manufacture, from the Queen of Scots of £2 12s Gd, to the Wheeler and Wilson, G-rovcr and Baker.

SHt CKING Dis COVE icY. On the 13th May last a man named James Kennedy was reported to tbe police as mis sing from hi_. home, in Payne-street, at the back of theßendigo hospital. Active search , was- made in every direction both by the po'.ice and the man's relations, but every effort failed to hud his whereabouts. On Saturday two boys named Mom-.ly proceeded to Bureher's Gully, n(;ar the Friendly Socie ties' Hecreation beserve, for the purpose of looking for gold. They Ijad a dog with them, and she peculiar manner in which it scraped abou:t a certain part of the gully drew their at tention to the spot. Tbey found that the dou had. uncovered what appeared to them to be a man's thigh-bone, and on removing some of the surrounding earth they saw that the botiy of a man was buried there. They at on.cc told some of the people living adjacent of the startling discovery they bad made, and the police were sent for. Senior con: table Cooke and constable Lawrence at once, proceeded to the spot, and had the eartla over the body, about three tons in all, removed. The place where the body was thus found was in an anghg at the creek, and the height of tine bank was 12 feet. Tbe position m which it was discoverd was such as to lead to the smpposition that he was engaged digging underr the bank when the ground fell on him. One knee was placed on the groune, and the othei r leg was stretched one ia the position which a man using a pick would assume Aero ss his leg was found a pick, and behind him a shovel aud tin bucket. Kennedy's brotlier, who was on the scene, at once idem tilled the pick and shovel as those of the miss] ing man, and he also identified the body l?™ * as being his brothers by the clothes -1 he body was in such au advanced stage of decomposition that it could not be possibly Jf "lenuficdbythe features or appearance. Ihe dirt having been shovelled away, the great- problem was how the body was to be take ,n out of its position without some of the hm'fts failing away in their then state. The me >ans adopted was by placing bags under tr.e body and raising it, but the operation v /as one which required ihegreatest care, and 'consequently occupied a considerable time. Those present describe the sight as being' , positively a sickening one. At last the unpleasant operation was successfully per formed, and the body, having been placed in a dray, was removed to the neai est hotel. On the clothes of the unfortunate man being searched, a key was found in his pocket, which opened the door of Kennedy's house, thus adding one more link to the chain required to prove his identification but no doubts whatever are entertained of his being the man. Kennedy who was 60 years of age, was a native of Galway, Ireland, and had been a resident in the district for close on twenty years. His wife died, some time back, leaving a young girl, but besides her Kennedy has numerous relatives in the locality. The sad affair has caused a pro found sensation in the district, and has been the common talk of the town since it became known.— Jßendigo Advertisea.
