Mr.. Seward said, when he stated they would get
through several days ago he did it in good faith,
another day, their witnesses were nearly all in
the city, and they did not expect to subpoena any
more.
On Thursday the trial resumed, and several
witnesses were examined, when one Of the jury
men was summoned home to attend sick child
The prosecution proposed to go on with the eleven
jurymen, and have the evidence read TO the absent

Counties, and Cities; or Machines, with tho right to

thing al all smlc- having ever before been offered
TO the public; the right of the invention is therefore
uncontested. Our Machine, Ivy the of two nee
dies, supplied with thread from spools, forms n
stitch, which will not open or ravel-in fact,
fast stitch. II is adapted to the sewing on all kinds
of fabrics as also on leather, IN straight, circular
other seams. Ii is capable Of being worked ut
great speed, and requires but little power. By
means of the feed carriage, which is compact and
convenient, the stitch may be regulated to any
length. The needle strikes perpendcularly upon
the table of the Machine ana affords opportuni-
ty for sewing far from the edge Of the cloth
