We stepped in yesterday, by invitation, to see it

used by taors for different kinds Of stitches but
this machine makes what we would call lock-
stitch. 1t resembles, i'll outward appearance, the
double stitch used in harness-making, but instead
Of being the same in reality, the two threads used
by the machine, by being made to each other,
lock together within the punctures made by the
needle in the CLOTH and thence returning stretch to
the next stitch or puncture, where they again
and lock as before, and so on, each of the threads
extending upon the side of the cloth through
out.
Tailors dressmakers, &C., can tell better than we
can as to the applicability of this stitch TO the
rious purposes required. 1t sews in circular shape

famous speech. The fact is, the roofs of the houses
are so dry that they occasionally go off of their
own accord-at all events, the slightest spark is
sufficient to put them in blaze. Two or three
houses have been fired in this way, and the mayor
has accordingly issued proclamation, prohibiting,
