FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
Now in use irrespective of Price.

NoN III usc Irrespective VI IIlcc'
We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST & Wilson's Machine.
LIST. It's simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated 10 the needles.
This is great dcsideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to small wheel driven by larger
one, instead of to the long arm of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
Sd. The great power and drectness Of tho
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
TO four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
ease, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses, from n sheet of paper
TO heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking a thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the scam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heayi-
est garments, Dedqullts, &C., ana ~ VIII turn up
readily upon hinges attached TO the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, ms both tensions are
regulated from above.
5th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
IL will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety Of sewing that can be done by
a similar stitch upon the highest priced machine
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
Send for n circular containingful particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations of stitch, &c.
Machines warranted and full directions given,
for using without charge.
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing

Our BANKERs.-We feel it due Messrs.
FERRY & Son to state that in all their
business relations with the public, so far
ms we have the means of knowing, their
course has been honorable and their dispo-
sition accommodating. They have ever
been ready to accommodate depositers
with the custody of their surplus funds,
running the risk of loss in these slippery
times with western currency, and by so
doing no doubt must have suffered them
selves more or less by the depreciation of
Illinois currency that has taken place.
TO say the least, their banking operations
have been of very great convenience to
community by way of exchange, and we
are gratifed at the general expression of
appreciation of the favors received, on
the part of the depositers, and Others, at
their hands.

Dun MONEY MATTERs.-On Friday
last the telegraph flashed the intelligence
that another crash, and one awful indeed
in its extent and nature, had taken place
with the banks of Illinois. An avalanche
hurled in our midst could scarcely have
produced greater CONSERVATION. Well
worn port-monies, old greasy wallets,
and threadworn purses were generally
overhauled and the contents thereof ex-
amined, carefully, tremblngly, and TO the
bank in hot haste many hied to learn
nothing particularly comforting to minds
bereft of the happy consciousness of hay
ing in possession a little currency that was
currency, once, but is currency no longer.
Suffice it 10 say, the excitement in our
village relative to the present crash is
great, and nearly all are to greater or
less degree losers; sufficiently so, we pre-
sumo, TO give their eye-teeth cutting in
financial matters and teach them n little
caution in future operations.
