SEWING MACHINE

SATISFIED, after a careful examination Of the
principal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
it that no other one combines so many prime quail
ties for general use as that made by the WHEELER
and WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scribers have taken an agency for the sale of these
Incompatible Machines. and have opened conve-
nient rooms for their exhibition and sale. on the
o wer floor Of the FREs Press Building. The price
Of a Machine obtained a. Of US will be the same as if
purchased directly Of the manufacturers or at any
one Of their agencies in the L States. Every machine
sold by US will be warranted perfect in its work
manship and ready for use. To all purchasers Of
US, PRACTICAL instructions in the use Of the ma
chimes will be given ,rtIout charge, so that the
buyer may thoroughly understand the principle Of
the machine-vhat every part of it does-and how
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable care and skill.
We specify some of the chief points Of excellence
belonging to these machines.

This is the only stitch that cannot be raveIed, and
that presents the same appearance on each side Of
the seam. It is made with two threads one upon
each side of the fabric, and interlocked in the CEN
tire of it.
They are simple in construction, efficient and
urable in operation. beautiful in model and finish
fitted to adorn the parlor and suited to the work
shop-applicable alike to the u,o Of the family and
the manufacturer. Their speed is from 200 to
1000 stitches per minute, or equal to 10 seam
stresses.
Among their undoubted advantages are
/. Elegance Of model and finish;
?. Simplicity and thor5ughness OF construction.

The change made in the tension during the past

which hens Of any width are turned and stitched
without any previous b%asting, evince the care of
the Company in Incorporating with the machines
every device that can tend to perfecting them.
They now combine every improvement that has
been invented for sewing, and we feel confident
that in their present form, they are by far the best
machines ever offered to the public.

Cor. GEORGE w. HUGHEs:
Dear Sir:-You ask me TO favor you with
an account Of my mode Of using Cnbalt foi
the destruction Of the " horn blowers" to.
gether with any facts noticed by me while
using it. Ii gives me great pleasure to com.
ply with your request, although have no.
thing new to communicate all that have
learned on this subject has been in and through
the columns Of the American Farmer.
The first Cobalt used was dark stony
substance very hard to puyerize, and think.
ng that IL would dissolve in water, ] did not
care to get it very fine. mixed in the nsu.
al way and then tried il, but not with the
success that expected. II is as well to note
here, that the mixture is liable to get snur,
in which case the blowers" will not feed
upon il. Some persons may have failed TO
see any effect from one or both Of these
causes.
This wear | bought several ounces.--the
cost is about 81 for twenty ounces, and had
it beat up to an inpalpatle powder. | put
about two or three ounces intn a half.pnt
flask, and added honey and water in about
equal parts. This mixture, YOU will OBJ
serve, Is five or six times as strong as rec
omended in the Farmer. put three. four
or six. drops Of the poison in the jamestown
blossoms where they grew, and collected
others and placed them in the seed heads Of
the tobacco. in different par.s Of the field.
The " blowers " would partake of the poison
in these flowers with great relish, and found
il to be tie most deadly in its effects; some
would BE- deprived 81 the power Of fight al.
most on the instant; others would fly to the
nearest tree, where they would be found dead
the next day, by scores; aad the number
found in the tobacco aud around the field was
astonishing. After using the poison dIligcnt.
" for about week there was scarcely a
I" blower" to be seen on the place aud, as
a consequence, very few worms on the TO-.
baeeo.
Cobalt was used 70 some extent this season
by planters Of this ueighburhoDd. among
whom, am glad 20 refer you 10 Messis

pressing work, but one that cannot be post
poned without great injury.
Il is homely, but true aphorism. I" that
an ounce Of prevention is worth pound Of
cure" In the care under consideration, il
may be stated at a much higher ratio. The
true remedy is prevention. believe that we
have at command, simple, cheap. efIicacious
and easily applied remedy; but to render it
perfectly effectual requires an universal cons
cert OF action on the part of those interested
in The matter. Isolated efforts have proved
thetruth of the theory but they can produce
only local and partial effects, for the origin
of the evil is to be found in winged insect,
" free as air" and confined in its flight to no
particular field or plantation. Let US then,
urge against the Horn blower--the parent OF
this mischief-a war Of utter determination !;
and it will save annually in labor and in
creased production, to the tobacco growing
sections of the State, sum that il would be
difficult to estimate,
In connection with this subject, | send you
a letter from my neighbor, Mr.. Shepherd,
detailing his experiments with the cobalt nlir-
turf--himsef an intelligent, practical and
successful planter. The gentlemen to whom
he refers are recognized as amongst the very
best growers and managers Of tobacco in our
county. My own experience during the last
season fully confirms that Of Mr.. Shepherd
and his neighbors, but / commenced rather
too late in the year to reap the full adyanta-
ges Of the experiments.
Ny principal purpose in sending you this
paper IS. respectfully, but urgently, to reco.
mend to my fellow planters, local organza,
tions-say in each election district of the to-
bacco growing counties--fur the purpose of
procuring and distributing the poison amongst
their neighbors, and to urge, on all, the vast
importance Of an universal movement against
the common enemy, 50 that the campaign
mag be opened, with an ample supply of
ammunition, as soon as the first flower APP
peared on the jamestown weed-which onght
70 pc left growing IN certain places to attract
the horn blower, and persistently 10 carry on
the warfare against the GueriReros during the
season. Where county agricultural societies
exist they would be the proper authorities to
take the matter in hand ; and it is TO be hoped
thar the newspapers in the tobacco counties
viii lend their assistance to the movement,
by giving circulation to this communication.
| hrmly believe that by an universal and con.
timed application OF this remedy for few
years, the pest NAV be practically extermi-
nated-at any rate it cannot fail greatly to
diminish the evil.
Respectfully, gentlemen,
Your nbedient servant,

THE LIGHT OF HOME.

The Light of home! how bright il beams
Whcrf evening shades around US fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, and rest, and comfort all;
When wearied with the tolls Of day,
And strife for glory, gold and fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips win lisp our maize
Around the light at home!
When through the dark and stormy night
The wsyward wanderer homeward fes,
How cheering is that twinkling light
That through the forest gloom he spies
Il is the light Of home. He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there /;
And softly through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that Danish care
Around the ligh, at home!
The light at home! how still and sweet
It peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls Of day are o'er.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams inpart
The cheering hopes and joys tha, flow,
And tighten up the hea, lest heart
Around the light at home!

EDITORS GATE Orr IL was surprised and
truly sorry to see your editorial Of Tuesday
morning, exulting over the defeat Of the De-
mocraoy Of Ksokuk, in the election Of the
day before. And the more surprised from
tbs course taken by your paper during the
canvass (and | will here say that approved
Of the editorial course Of your paper during
the canvass.) The victory on Monday was a
noble one-one that every honest man in the
city ought to be proud Of. But it should
not be heralded as Republican triumph
1t was TRIUMPH OF THE PEOPLE, aided, as
sisted, and gloriously carried out by the best,
most reliable, honest and faithful Democrats
OF the oity-men who could not be coaxed,
driven or bought to vote for an unworthy
candidate, even though he be the nominee of
Democratic Convention, especially when
they know that Convention to be packe
one. have been an active worker in this
canvass from the first as the friend Of Mr..
Leighton, but have on no occasion urged
his election as Republican. CT is true
was glad that he was one, and wish every
body else were Republicans.) put the cleo
ton on higher grounds-that the people
wanted and needed an honest man for May
or, and that was the grounds that this cleo
ton was fought and won upon. 1t is true
that large majority Of the votes given to
Mr.. Leighton were Republican, and almost
all the votes given to Mr.. Sample were Dem
ocrats, at least one-half Of whom would have
voted differently but for the force of party,
and who now rejoice with the friends Of Mr..
Leighton in his success over man who had
been bully and curse to their party ever
since hejoined it.
! rejoice, and every other citizen ought to
rejoice at the result of this election, for it
proves that voters cannot be bought by whis-
ky; that they may drink candidates beer
and whisky, shout for him at the polls, and
still vote for his opponent. While ! rejoice
at the result of this great victory over COR
rnption, am truly thankful, and so should
every Republican in the city be to those no.
BILE Democrats who for the sake Of the best
interest of the city cut loose from the fet-
ters of party nominations and hurled from
power an unworthy nominee OF their own
party. To them belongs the main glory Of
this contest, and let us so award it.
