GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE!
TWELVE DOLLAR
Family SeaCi,sg .N0chisae ?!
This Machine is very simple in its structure,
weighing about six pounds, is impossible to get out
of order, well adapted to nearly all kinds Of fami
ly sewing. 1t is unlike and far superior to every
other machine now in use. A child ten years of
age can successfully perform more laborin single
day with this machine than the best seamstress can
in ten days by hand.
An Extract from the Chicago Demo
cratic Press"
eve have examined the above machine care
fully and say without hesitation, that we do not re-
member, during the whole of our editorial career,
of having attention called to an invention that
is more worthy Of public patronage than this, or
one that is calculated to confer greater benefit
on the people at large"
An Extract from the Davenport daily
Democrat"
SEWING MAcHINE--The thing is done. No
more shall busy housewives lament the want of
time to sew, mend and repair sheets, shirts, pants
or any article of clothes or Dress A machine has
been invented and produced which reigns sover-
eign OF the ascendant. 1t is simple, plain, cheap
and works as a sewing agent with the most aston.
shing rapidity, and with such stitch as defies the
greatest strain. None will examine it without adj
mration, and none will go away without buying it
after seeing its wonder working ingenuity.
1t isno humbug; no Yankee nutmeg affair to
swindle honest men with, but Sewing Machine
which is the monarch of its kind"
This wonderful machine can be seen in opera
ton at the store of G. Jerome where the subscri
bers are prepared to exhibit it, and furnish them to
order. The citizens Of CLAYTON and surrounding
country are respectfully solicited to call and inves
tigate the greatest wonder of the age.

HOOSIER GATE.
PATENTED JUNE "a, 1856. BY
StigEeaNNM r. OSbhras.


The construction of a convenient Gate for Farm
use has long been dcsideratum among agricul-
turalists. The HoOsier Gate is undoubtedly the
most valuable invention in its line that has ever
been presented to the public. 1t is SO arranged
that the touching of spring by the wheel Of a
wagon or carriage, will open it, and similar
spring attached to it the side will close
. il. Runaways and the consequent destruction of
property that often occurs will be unknown where
this simple and cheap gate comes into use, as there
will be no necessity of leaving team to enable
YOU to open and close it. This Gate is particular.
IL valuable to those living in the neighborhood of
Railroads, and all Iowa is shortly to be travers.
ed by the cars, it is presumeable that everybody
will want the latest improvement in the way of q
selfopening and closing Gate. A model will
shortly be exhibited at McGregor, and the under.
signed invites all to give it an examinations
Traders in Patents, and Manufacturers have here a
fine opportunity to speculate, as this Gate must
come into universal use County rights will be
conveyed on reasonable terms ii application be
made soon to the undersigned who is the owner OF
the Territory of Iowa. Applications for rights
may also be made at the Office of the North Iowa
Times, MGregor, Iowa. .

The NIAGARA AND THE AGANENSoS.--The
London Times in commenting upon the recent
trial Of speed between tue u. s. steam frigate
Niagara and II. B. M. steamer Agamemnon
which has been very generally noticed
says:
Tho Niagara can steam faster, throw
heavier metal and at greater distance than
the Aganmemnon and if moored off large
town in un undisturbcd position would dc
great damage, without receiving injury if no
opposing ships we're near but at seu with the
chances of fogs and mists the recurrence oi
night and the possible arrangement of her
machinery it is questionable whether she
would be able to maintain such long range
as would secure her advantages over such q
ship as the Agamemnon.
"The superior range Of the guns OF the
Niagara would not avail much against so
small mark as o ship for Mt distance tho
drop Of parabola would be so great that the
chances of hitting must be small as evidenced
at Sebastopo, we're very few comparatively,
Of the Russian guns hit our ships although
they frequently doged within range. At
closer quarters the frigate would be placed
at disadvantage she carries only six guns
on each side worked on q flush deck where
men are not so well protected from falling
rigging and spars as when covered with a
deck. The broadside of the Agsmemnon con-
sists of 54 guns, those on the lower deck being
Ga Founders and there is no doubt that one
discharge would tell most effect
lively. Six ships of the class of the Niagara
have been constructed and it is not probable
that their number will be increased"

THE NOBLEST AMBITION.

1t has been well remarked by an American
poet, that no gift however beautiful no sue.
cess however brilliant, should be placed above
| the skill aud talents which can relieve o sin
gle pang and the selt.deyolion which lay s
them at the feet of the humblest fellow crpu-
ture." Judged by this rule Professor Holla-
way, Of whom the world has heard so much
during the last twenty years occupies high
position. HIS lie seems TO have be q devo.
ted to the alienation Of suffering and his de-
sire to benefit his fellow creaturee appears
to have been seconded by an amout Of natur-
al talent and acquired skill seldom combined
iu ono individual. The practical result Of
this combination has been the production Of
two remedies whown throughout the world as
lloloway's Pills and Ointment, which if any
value can be attached to human testimony,
have lefr all devices of science far behind in
the great work Of relieving pain, streuthen-
ing the constitution and proloDging life.
In bilious disorders especially, the Pi Is
have been wonderfully eflcuc Gus for that
reason they are most important medice in
ihe.country where bilious fever, and all the
varieties OF liver complaint are Unfortunately
so common. We learn from persons subject
to bilious attacks in the Spring and Fall, who
have resorted to these Pills as q preventive,
that they have never failed to save them from
such periodical affections VII le We have a!so
the strongest possible testimony in their ia-
vor from individuals who have taken them in
the worst stages OF liver disease. Long be.
fore we had had an opportunity to judge OF
their value from yone testimony tho medical
journals and the daily press OF Europe had
referred to them in terms OF praise. 1t gives
US pleasure 10 say that our own experience
confirms and verlieS the statements derived
from foreign scources Not being conversant
with the philosophy Of medical science, We
cannot enter into learned exposition Of the
moduS operandi Of Holloway's Pills in bilious
cases. but shall rest content with saving, thu,
under the influence Of the remedy the skin
and the whites Of the eyes soon lose their vel.
