The Fat Contributor is on his travels, ac? cording to the Times and Chronicle, waking up snakes generally and taking the voles of the passengers. Bear him: . I took the steamer General Lytle, of the Mail Line," for Louisville, the other evening, and had a delightful trip. After tea I thought X would TAKE A VOTE OF THE PA8SENGERS. - This is the period of taking votes on board of railroad trains, steamboats, &c., on the Presidential question. The result is frequently published in the newspapers as "A Straw, though I have observed that no newspaper, ever prints a straw that does not show the po? litical wind to be setting in their direction. When I essayed to take a vote of the passen Ears on the General Lytle the other night, ytle did I think of the embarrassments would encounter in securing iL I am not much in politics, though I am probably as much in politics as politics is in me. ONE VOTE FOE PIERCE. I began with the captain of the Lytle as a ?tarter. "Captain Whitten," said I, "who is your choice for President ?" "Well," 'replied the bold commander, coolly, "Captain Pierce has been as good a president as the old mail line ever had. Beckon he'll do for several years yet." He thought I was talking about the Presi? dency of the Louisville mail line, but I put down one vote for Pierce. THE MATE GOES FOE ME. "Tnext tackled the mate, who was below, su? perintending some perplexing maneuvers in freight. "Mate," said I cheerily, trying to get out of | the way of his men, and getting in their way worse than ever, as a matter of course, "who are you going for ?" "Who am I going for ?" roared the mate, angrily, "I'm going for you if you don't get out of. this." - I got out immediately. I had to do it, or become his mate. FAVORING HORACE. I ascended to the cabin. A scholarly-look? ing man was reading by a table. (He was reading by a lamp, more properly; yet he was by a table too.) "My friend," I remarked blandly, as I pro? duced note-book and pencil, "do you favor Horace ?" (He did favor him a little in his feet.) "That ia a fair question," said the scholarly looking man, laying down his book, which I Firceived was a latin work of some kind, "and will answer it without undue circumlocution. While many of the odes of Horace are unex? celled, either in his own or any other language, vet his verses lack the heroic ring which a true lyre gives forth when a Virgil sweeps the strings." I told, him that Virgil might sweep the strings, but could he sweep the South ? That I was the question. "Your language, my friend," said I, "satis? fies me that you are in reality a Grecley man." "How so ?" inquired the man of letters. "You call Virgil a poetic lyre." Down went the scholarly man for Horace. A MAN OF LETTERS. I am a man of letters, as this letter will show. If she shows anything else, why letter. ? It may not be generally known, by the way, that letters were invented in Phoenicia, but they were. That is the reason you can't Phoenicia an education without them. [See Finish ye, eh? How's that? Hal] ANYBODY TO BEAT GRANT. . While I was gathering up my straws, two somewhat intoxicated individuals got very much excited in discussing the relative fitness of Grant and Greeley for the Presidency. While one insisted that Grant knew nothing whatever about farming, the other inquired contemptuously, "What Greeley know 'bout war? He never fired (hie) two-horse lumber wag'n!" He seemed to think that settled Horace. "My friends," said I, "let us have peace. Why this strife, this contention, this bitterness ef spirit ? And all, as Shakespeare says, "for Hecuba. What is Hecuba to you or you to ] Hecuba?" I MOh (hie) you be d?d," said the man of j gin, "anybody to beat Grant." HOW THE LADIES GO. My next experiment was among the ladies. I approached a dark-eyed daughter of Ken? tucky, and in a father and motherly way, which the difference in our ages warranted, said: Daughter, if you could be Grant or Greeley, which would you be." "B. Gratz Brown," she replied with a proud toss of her bead. There is something I admire in the Ken? tucky women?they never go back on a native Kentuckian. "I am for Adams, cried an angular old maid in a shrill voice, "Adams is my man." The ladies ought certainly to favor the Adams movement since Mother Eve was the original Adam's woman. ! HE WOULDN'T SUPPORT RELATIONS. i "I eupport Grant," put iu a brawny hoosier Jhrmer, "and the country will support him, too." "Well," returned a sinister chap, "the coun? try may support Grant, but you cau t expect the country to support all of Grant's relations into the bargain, can you ? This relation bus-; iness is played out." I afterwards ascertained that the sinister ehap had recently ran away from a wife and six children in the east. He don't believe in i taking care of relations, he don't. "I am waiting for the Baltimore Conven-! tion," said a man who I remembered to have Been at fairs, with a fascinating little game ealled three card moute. I told him that lie needn't wait for the Baltimore Convention, he might pick up a little game at the Philadelphia Convention, if he would go there. Lots of folks to "go for" in Philadelphia. Thinking to mollify him, for he scowled fearfully, I said, "Come, old high-ball, tell me who I shall put you down for." He moved angrily away, and I heard him mutter a remark about putting somebody down "for a d?d fooL," but 1 don't think he meant me. SUMMING UP. When I got through taking the vote it summed up as follows: For Grant..seven. For Grecley.Frequently. For Capt. Pierce.The Mail Line. For Woman's Rights.The Female Lino. For Louisville...The General Lytle. For-get-monot.The Fat Contributor. The above you perceive shows a clear ma? jority for the peoples' choice. - m * ? ? 8umner is reported to be preparing anoth? er speech on the subjectof our national nuances, Do Tour Best. When I was a little boy, said a gentleman one evening, I paid a visit to ray grandfather, a venerable old man, whose black velvet cap and tassel, blue breeches and huge silver knee buckels filled me with great awe. When I went to bid him good night he drew me be? tween his knees and placing his hand on my head, said: "My grandchild, I have one thing to say to you, will you remember it ?" I stared into his face and nodded; for I was afraid to promise aloud. "Well," said he, "whatever you do, do the best you can." This in fact was my grandfather's legacy to me; and it has proved better than gold, I nev? er forgot his words; and I believe 1 have tried to act upon them. After reaching home, my uncle gave Marcus and me some weeding to do in the garden. It was Wednesday afternoon; and we had laid our plans for something else. Marcus fretted, and ill humored at the disap? pointment, did not more than half do his work. And I began pretty much like him, until grand? father's advice came into my mind and I de? termined to follow it In a word, I did my best. And, when my uncle came out, I shall never forget his look of approbation as his eye glanced over my beds, or the fourpence he slipped into my hands afterwards as he said my work was well done. Ah! I was a glad and thankful boy; while poor Marcus was left to drudge over his beds all the afternoon. "A?fifteen I was sent to the academy, where I had partly to earn my own way through the course. The lessons came hard at first, for I was not fond of study; my grandfather's advice was my motto, and I tried to do my best. As a consequence of this, though I was small of my age, and not very strong, my mother had three oners for me before the year was out; and one from the best merchant of the village, (a place' in whose storo was considered very desirable.. When I joined the church I tried to do the Lord's work as well as I did my own; and of? ten when I have been tempted to leave the Sabbath School, or let a hindrance keep me from the prayer-meeting, or get discouraged in any good thing, my grandfather's last words: 'Do the best you can,' have given me fresh courage, and I would again try." Here then, was the key to this man's charac? ter. He is considered ono of the best business men, one of the best citizens, one of the best officers in the church, one of the best friends of the poor, one of the best neighbors, fathers, husbands, friends; in a word, he is universally beloved and respected. And what is the secret of it all ?" He always tried to do the best he could. Let every boy and girl take this for their motto. Acted upon, it will do wonders for you. It will bring out powers and capabil? ities which will surprise and delight yourself and friends. "Do the best you can;" or as the Bible has it, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;" or, in other words, "Whatsoever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord." CuEioamES or Ajctmal Life.?"There can be no doubt," writes Mr. Darwin, "that dogs feel shame as distinct from fear, and something very like modesty, when begging too often for food. A great dog scorns the snarling of a little dog, and this may be called magnanimity. Several observers have stated that monkeys certainly dislike being laughed at and tliey sometimes invent imaginary offenses. In the zoological gardens I saw a baboon that always got into a furious rage when his keeper took out a letter or book and read it aloud to him, and his rage was so violent that, as I witnessed on one occasion, he bit his own leg till the blood flowed." All animals feel wonder; ;ind many exhibit curiosity, the latter quality af fordin^opportunity for hunters, in many parts of the world, to decoy the game into their Sower. The faculty of imitation so strongly evelcped in man, especially in a barbarous state, is present in monkeys. A certain bull terrier of our acquaintance, when he wishes to ?o out of tho room, jumps at the handle of the oor and grasps it with his paws, although he cannot turn the handle. Parrots also repro? duce with wonderful fidelity the tones of dif? ferent speakers, and puppies reared by cats have been known to lick their feet and wash their faces after the manner of their foster mothers. Attention and memory also are pres? ent in the lower animals, and it is impossible to deny that the dreams of dogs and horses show the presence of imagination, or a certain sort of reason is also present Animals also profit by experience, as any man realizes who sets traps. The young are much more easily caught than the old, and the adults gain cau? tion by seeing the fate of those which are caught Tools also are used by some of the higher apes. The chimpanzee uses a stone to crack a nut resembling a walnut, and the Aby sinian baboons fight troops of another species, and roll down stones in the attack before they finally close in a hand-to-hand encounter. The idea of property is common also to every dog with a bone, to all birds with their nests, and most notably in the case of rooks. Nor can a certain kind of language he denied to the brute. The dog communicates his feelings by barks of different tones, which undoubtedly raise in his fellow dogs ideas similar to those passing in his own mind.?Edinburgh Review. Wiiy Democrats should Support Mr. ; Greeley.?The few Southern public men who j are resisting the Greeley movement seem to j have little faith in the New York Democratic instinct, which on the instant, forgot or forgave, all Greeley's past, and acted only for the coun? try's present and future good. We, who have lived with Greeley for forty years, feel and j know we can trust him, and nave faith in his i word, and the pledges of his Cincinnati letter. We feel and know we can through him secure the State against Grant by an immense majori? ty?50,000, wo think; and we thus see him an instrument of Providence to rescue the coun? try. Hence the unanimity of New York, and its earnestness, to be followed wo hope, by oth? er States, especially by the Southern States, with which, almost always, during the exis? tence of our Rebublic, the Democracy here have been in sympathy. Then, again, we reason thus, and we think all Southern men should reason thus : "Greeley, if elected by the Democracy aud Liberal Republicans, will bring with him from 150 to 180 anti-Grant Representatives into Con? gress. Tho Senate now stands 17 Democrats 8 or 9 Liberal Republicans. There are 72 Sen? ators of tho United States, 37 is a majority. The additional 12 wo need can only conic to us from victories, as in New York, Pennsylva? nia, and elsewhere, or from the great turn the carpct-bag element in the Senate would take on Greeley's election. The Senate will be against us for 10 or 15 years, unless through some such movement as this. When Congress is ours, we have control of the Government. We can pacify and purify the country, main? tain what is left in the Constitution. A Dem? ocratic straight-out ticket would render all this doubtful, we think, impossible. Hence, we in New York, by instinct, as in Tennessee, ratified the Cincinnati Greeley movement The rest of the country has moved less rapidly, but quite as surely."?N. Y. Express, [Dem.) ? Dr. Hall says: "If a man sleep soundly? has a good appetite, with no unpleasant re? minders after meals, the bodily hahits being regular every day, he had better leave himself alone, whether he is big as a hogshead or as thin and dry as a fence-rail. And he further states that several cases of Bright's disease of the kidneys have been reported as having re? sulted from practicing some of the new-fangled nostrums for removing the superabundance of flesh. ? Mexican sentinels have fired upon Ameri? ca;- citizens navigating for pleasure purposes on tho Rio Grande river. If General Grant could be induced to drop electioneering for a short time, we might hope that some steps would be taken to vindicate the rights of Ameri cans on our Southern boundary. Rut that con summation seems to he hopeless. J Wanted, A young man of industry, ability, integri? ty, &c. This meets our eye daily in tbe columns of the papers, and it is as true as the Pentateuch. Wanted? Of course they are always wanted. The market can never be overstocked; they will always be called for and never quoted "dull" or "no sale." Wanted for thinkers wanted for workers?in the mart, on the main, in the field, and in the forest. Tools are lying idle for want of a young man ; a pen is waiting to be nibbled, a tree to be felled, a school to be instructed. They talk about staples and great staples. Honest, industrious, able young men are the great staples in this world of ours. Young men! you are wanted, but not for a doctor. No, nor a lawyer. There are enough of them for this generation, and one or two to spare. Don't study a profession, unless that of a bricklayer, or a farmer, or some of the manual professions. Don't measure tape, if you can help it. It's honest and honorable, and all that, but don't rob the women. It's their prerogative to handle silks and laces, tape and thread. Put on, your hat, then, like a man, don an apron, and go out of doors. Get a good glow on your cheek, the jewelry of toil upon your brow, and a good set of well de? veloped muscles. We would go, if we could, but we were young longer ago than we would like to think; but, you know, when one's old, he can't. Besides, if you become a doctor, you'll have to wait?"because you havn't experience," says an old practioner; because you are "too young," say all the women. If a lawyer, and likely to rise, they'll put a weight on your head to keep you under, or if you make a good argument, Borne opponent as gray as a rat will kick it over, by some taunt or other, because you was not born in the year one. And so it will go, until you are tired aud bored, and wish you had been a tinker, perhaps "an im? mortal" one, or anything but what you are. Be a farmer, and your troubles are over, or rather they don't begin. Your own, what you stand on, from the centre of the earth (as they used to say) up to the sky; you are indepen? dent all day, and tired, not weary, at night. The more neighbors you have, and the better farmers they are, the more and the better for you. There's one thing more, young men. You are wanted. A young woman wants you. Don't wait to be rich. If you do, ten to one if you are fit to be married at all, or you will not find anybody who is willing to marry yon. Marry while you are young, and struggle to? gether, lest in years to come, somebody shall advertise. "Young men wanted," and none are ; to be had. Cow Withholding her Milk.?A cow I will sometimes withhold her milk when her calf is taken away, but usually only for a short time. The remedy in such cases is gentle treatment, and a persistent effort to draw the milk and bathing the udder with cold water. The milking should be attempted at short in? tervals?at least three or four times a day. If the cow is treated kindly, and a continued effort be made to draw the milk from time to time, she usually yields the point, and a few days will forget her calf and give down her milk regularly. If harsh treatment is resorted to, and the milking be neglected, inflammation ! of tbe udder and garget may set in, causing serious trouble and perhaps loss of milk en? tirely, if not other and permanent injury to the cow. It is not advisable to puncture the teat under such circumstances?at least, not until continued and thorough efforts have been made to draw the milk by hand, in the usual way. In case of obstructions in the milk duct, on account of coagulated milk, or from some im? perfection of the parts, a properly formed milk tube may sometimes be used with advantage. These tubes are constructed of silver, with a smooth, round point pierced with holes, through which the milk may pass into the tube, and so arranged as not to injure the milk duct when introducing or withdrawing from the teat. When pointed wires, straws, or goose quills are usea for the purpose, they are liable to wound the parts and get up an in? flammation in tbe teat, which may extend to the udder and spoil the cow for milk, at least for the season it not permanently. This would bo very likely to bo the case if the weather bo warm and the cow secrete a large quantity of milk. We have seen wires, straws and quills used in numerous instances, and in nearly all, bad results followed. In some cases the in? flammation was so rapid as to make the cow in a few days almost unmanageable, and the final result was a broken udder and consequent loss of the cow.?Rural New Yorder. How Towns Grow.?Mr. Scranton of Pennsylvania died the other day. His age is not stated; but were it great or even approach? ing threescore and ten, it would in all proba? bility have been mentioned. So we may as? sume that he was not a very old man. Thirty years ago he moved to a hamlet in the moun? tains of northeastern Pennsylvania, composed of a tavern and two other houses. That ham? let is now the city of Scranton, tho third city of the State in importance, having a popula? tion of perhaps forty thousand. This, oe it remembered, is no miracle of the great West, no duplicate of Chicago, Milwaukee, San Fran? cisco or Omaha. It belongs to the ancient humdrum Dutch commonwealth of Pennsylva? nia. The coal trade of that State has produced a number of towns, and made manv a rugged and solita.-v fastness vocal with the hum of industry. But coal mining was an old story when Scranton was founded. So was iron making. Bold and dashing enterprise, pushing pari pas8u with judgment, yet always pushing, created the place. Circumstances of course aided; but there are always circumstances to aid when energy furnishes tb&pHimm mobile. The water power of Niagara is the vastest in the world; but there is uo town at Niagara.? Winchester News. Things to Forget.?How much wiser we would be if we could remember all things worth remembering that occur day by day around us ; and how much better we should be if we could forget all that is worth forgetting. It is almost frightful, and altogether humilia? ting, to think how much there is in the com? mon ongoing of domestic and social life which deserves nothing but to be instantly and forev? er forgotton. Yet it is amazing how large a a class there is who have no other business but to repeat these things. Tbis is the vocation of gossips?an order of society that perpetrates* more mischief than all the combined plagues of Egypt put together. Blessed is that man or woman who can let drop all the burs and this? tles, instead of picking them up and fastening on to tbe passenger. Would we let the vexing and malicious sayings die, how fast the lacera? ted and scandal ridden world would get healed and tranquilized. Forget tho gossippings and bickerings, the baekbitings and mean inuen does, and . ' n!y the little gleam of sunshine and poetry tnai can illuminate tbe humblest life, if we only drive away and for? get the clouds engendered by things that should never be remembered. ? The small-pox in Washington has, with? in the past few days, become much more viru? lent in the neighborhood to which it is con lined ; but, except on Capitol Hill and the Island, the disease has not appeared as an epidemic. It rages most within a square or two southeast of the capitol. There is one locality in that neighborhood bearing yellow flags throughout its entire extent. An average increase of three cases a day is reported in that section of the city east of the capitol. It is now proposed to barricade some of the infected districts. ? Ten cents a bushel is thought to he a high price for lemons and oranges in Brazil. Na? tive fruits are a drug. Two Causes and One Effect.?When Doctor Dodge, an eccentric physician, was lec? turing in the States on the evils of tea and coffee, he happened to meet at the breakfast table a witty son of Erin of the better class. Conversation turned upon the Doctor's favorite subject, and he addressed our friends a3 fol? lows : "Well," said the doctor, "if I convince you that they are injurious to your health, will you abstain from their use?" "Sure I will sir." "How often do you use tea and coffee ?" "Morning and night sir." "Well," said the doctor, "do you ever expe? rience a slight dizziness of the brain on going to bed?" "I do?indeed I do," replied the son of Erin. "And a sharp pain through tho temples in the morning?" "Very often I do, sir." "Well," said the doctor, with an air of con? fidence and assurance, "that is this tea and cof? fee." "It is, indeed ? Faith, and I always thought it was the whiskey I drank." The compauy roared with laughter, and the doctor quietly retired. Tobacco?By a Small Boy.?Tobacco grows something like cabbage, but I never saw mny of it boiled, although I have eaten boiled cabbage with vinegar on it, and I have heard men say that cigars that were given them on election day for nothing were cabbage leaves. Tobacco stores are mostly kept by wooden In? juns, who stand at the door and try to fool lit? tle boys by offering them a bunch of cigars, which is glued in the Injun's hands and is made of wood also. Hogs do not like tobacco; neith? er do I. I tried to smoke a cigar once and it made me feel like epsom salts. Tobacco was invented by a man named Walter Raleigh. When the people first saw him smoking they thought he was a steamboat, and as they never saw a steamboat they were frightened. My sister Nancy is a girl. I don't know whether Bhe likes tobacco or not. There is a young man named Le Roy who comes to see her. He was standing on the eteps one night, with a cigar in his mouth, and he said he didn't know as she would like it, and she said, "Le Roy, the perfume is agreeable." But when ray big brother Tom lighted his pipe, Nancy said, "Get out of the house you horrid creature; the smell of tobacco makes me sick." Testing Floue.?The following rules are given for testing the quality of flour: 1. Look at its color; if it is white, with a slightly yel? lowish or straw-colored tint, it is a good sign ; if it is very white, with a bluish cast or with black specks in it, the flour is not good. 2. Ex? amine its adhesiveness?wet and knead a little of it between the fingers; if it works dry and elastic., it is good; if it works soft and sticky, it is poor. Flour made from spring wheat is likely to be sticky. 3. Throw a little lump of dry flour against a dry, smooth, perpendicular surface, if it adheres in a lump, the flour has life in it; if it falls like powder, it is bad. 4. Squeeze some of the flour in your hand; if it retains the shape given by the pressure, that, too, is a good sign. Flour that will stand all these tests, it is safe to buy. Dogs vs. Sheep.?The annual destruction of sheep by dogs is immense. Official reports show in Ohio an annual loss of $3,000,000 in sheep killed by dogs, and $1,000,000 in other injuries?a loss equivalent to 6,000,000 pounds of wool. In two years, from 1868 to 1870, Illi? nois sank from the sixth to the ninth in rank among the States, in the number and value of her sheep ; and this great falling off is attribu? ted to a proportionate increase in the number of dogs, ana the lack of proper legislation to prevent their ravages among sheep. In Mary? land, the returns from five counties report over 1,100 sheep killed in one year. In Missouri the number of dogs exceed the number of sheep; and if the value of the food consumed by dogs were fed to sheep, they would proper 1 ly clothe every person in the State, and render us independent of foreign wool.?Rural World. ? What we are afraid to do before men, we should be afraid to think before God. ? Give work rather than alms to tho poor. The former drives out indolence, the latter in? dustry. ? The Western confectioner who, a few months ago, taught his parrot to say ''pretty creature" to every lady who entered his store, is now a millionaire. ? Thackeray tells us of an Irishwoman begging of him, who, when she saw him put? ting his hand in his pocket, cried out: "May the blessing of God follow you all the days of your life," out, when he pulled out his snuff box, immediately added, "and never overtake you." ? Colfax has not been heard from since the Philadelphia nomination. It is said that after learning his defeat "he never smiled again." He said he intended to "retire" at the end of the present term, and like a "man and broth? er" nc will do it. ? Mr. Isaac Corbett, of Baltimore, seventy two years of age, visited a cemetery in compa? ny with his daughter, on Sunday afternoon, and while there pointed out a spot where he wished to be buried. Soon after returning home he was seized with illness, and within three hours of the time of selecting his grave, he was dead. ? A fine feat of horsemanship was witnessed on Charles Street, New Orleans, the other even? ing. A lady and her escort was riding pretty rapidly up the street, when the lady's norse, becoming frightened, started off with a tremen? dous bound and jumped a pretty high fence into a private garden ; turning the animal suddenly she made nim jump again both fence and ditch, holding her seat in an easy and graceful man? ner. ? Mr. Beechcr, in his lecture on preaching, gives a good hit on pulpit hallooing. At the closing of his leeture, an inquirer asked : "Sup? pose a man tries to work himself up to a feel? ing of enthusiasm by action and increased em? phasis, can he bo successful ?" Mr. Beechor answered : "In rogard to that, I will mention a circumstance that occurred to my father. I recollect his coming home in Boston one Sun? day, when I was quite a small boy, saying how glad he was to get home, away from the church ; and he added: 'It seems to mo I nev? er made a worse sermon than I did this morn? ing.' 'Why, father,' said I, 'I never heard you preach so loud in all my life.' 'That is the way," said he, 'I always halloo when I haven't anything to say.'" M. C. PARKER, M.

C Ft* 2'?, 1872 34 Gnj SOMETHING NEW. A Buttonhole, Overseaming and Complete Sewing Machine in One!! We request the Ladies, and all others want? ing a perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from porsonal examination, this superior and excel? lent Machine. It is no exaggeration to say that it will execute a greater varioty of sewing, with fewer attachments and less labor, than any Machine in the world. It is a decidod im? provement on the older Machines in market; and the superior skill, workmanship and ma? terials employed in its construction are a guar? antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and enable the Company and its Agents to WAR? rant every machine they sell to oivh entire satisfaction. It is comparatively noiseless, and runs with such ease that the most delicate female can operate it all day without fatigue. A Philadel? phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says : "In New England, the home of the Sewing Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine is without a rival?1. Because it will do every? thing that any Machine can do, sewing from the finest to the coarsest material, hemming, felling, cording, braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc., better than any other Macine. 2. Because the tensions are more easily adjusted. 3. Because it can work a beautiful buttonhole, making as fine a pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will embroider over the edge, making a neat and beautiful border on any garment. 5. Because it will work a beautiful eyelot hole. 6. Be? cause it can do overhand seaming, by which sheets, pillow-cases and the like are sewed over and over. 7. Because you can quickly raise and lower the feed to adapt it to thick or thin cloth. 8. Because you have a short, deep bobbin, by which the thread is constantly drawn from the centre, the tension is conse? quently even. 9. Because the presser-foot turns back, that the cloth may be easily re? moved after being sewed. Because it is two Machines in one, and has no springs to break, and nothing to get out of order." Wo take the liberty of referring to the fol? lowing ladies, citizens of Anderson and vicin? ity, who have tested our Machines. The tes? timony of these ladies is certainly a flatter? ing evidence of the popularity attained by these Machines within a short time: Mrs. Edmund Murrah, Anderson.
