PATENTED MARCH 9, 1858.
PRICE sIo EACH.

NESSRS. ZUPPlNGER & ROBBINS, Of
- Bloomsbury, having purchased the ex-
elusive right of the above valuable lmpro
we'd CheaT Patent Sewing Machine, for
the County of Columbia, will be happy 10
supply their friends with The article for The
accommodations of themselves and families.
The following are Some of The superior
advantages this implement possesses, viz:
/. 1t sews from 400 10 600 tight stitches
per minute.
3 Double thread Machines are from the
more complicated character OF their mech
anism invariably managed and threaded
with more or less difficulty; not so with
RAYMOND'S, a child can manage il iE Two
hours, and II is threaded easier than a com
mon needle.
8. One of the most valuable features OF
this Machine, is The smallness and the
comoaclness of its mechanism.
d. 1t can be attached 10 board, table or
stand, in operating order, apd removed 10
less than half minute.
5. 1t greatly economies tI0thread, and
yet produces a seam, sufficiently strong Tor
any work Tor which il is intended, quail
ificalion not known 10 all kincs of Sewing
Machines.
6. No human hand is capable of produ-
cling seam so regular and systematic
The seam is so strong if we'll done, that the
strongest material will tear before the
seam will give way.
T. Among The array of Patent Sewing
Machines, there are none so cheap and
durable as Raymonds Patent, but no Ma
chine is adapted to all kinds OF work as
experience has proven. There are perhaps
none so really useful, doing such variety
of wore for the immediate use of the fam
ly circle, and at such moderate price as
RAYMOND'S PATENT.
g. The operator can shape his seam just
as he pleases, waves, leaves and flowers,
ETC., can be represented or initiated
9. 1t is particularly adapteu 10 all kinds
of s,ichirg-such as gcnIlemen's shirts,
bosoms, risibands, collars, elc.,-and all
kinds of ladies' sewing, including silks,
lawns, delaines, calicoes, busters ETC., ex
cepting for mems heavy wear, This Machine
! is rather TOO light o. construction.
10. But we all admit, that the advantage
TO health, and principally 10 the vision OF
| yesight, inGnced by Tie use of Sewing
! Machines, surpasses infinitely all oiher adj
! vania2es.
! H. This Machine fastens the seam al.
! ways itself, bul if the operator wishes II
uniaslened or open, there is way Tor il
| TOO, thus you can have IL fastened or not
ds you pieaSe, "n'on 'ej eobe"'"eS; oSPe
| cIally for beginners, very favorable cir
| cumslance. II the seam is LETT unfastened,
/ you can draw it oui in three seconds anC
save the thread.
For sale by The undersigned, a, their re
| spective residences, in BIoomsburg. who
| will put the Machine in operation and give
all necessary instruction.

ABUSE OF PUBLIC MEs.--If those who are
daily railing the President, or some mem
Der of his Cabinet, find themselves likely
TO exhaust their stock of invectives, they
can renew their supply by the study OF GER
tain productions of their predecessors in
the same vile business. In a publication
now before us, issued III 1900, we find
WASHINGTON charged with having "em-
bezzied the public money," with being
knowingly periured, being ia hypocrite, ,;
and with having "sacri6ced the dearest
rights Of his country p while the incumbent
President was assailed for ''haying compile
