■ Industrial Exhibition — a Stitch in Time, etc. — A young lady, 

 passenger in one of the Mount Pleasant cars a clay or two ago, came 

 very near getting the hats of all the gentlemen, who noticed a 

 singular and unexpected display of good sense and prudence on her 

 part. On entering the car her dress caught, and was considerably 

 torn, the rent presenting a very unhandsome appearance in contrast 

 with the exceeding neatness of her apparel. As soon as she was 

 seated she removed her kids, and diving into the recess of a tiny 

 pocket, brought out a needle and a bit of thread, after uniting which 

 with most dexterous manipulation, she set to work to repair damages 

 and very soon spread out the folds of her robe as complete and 

 ■whole as if no accident had ever occurred. The materials of indus- 

 try were then redeposited in their resting place, and the lady 



assumed her kids and an attitude of repose, smiling triumphantly.
