FAMILY SEWING MACHINE



We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST & WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this We claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar arc both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by a larger
one, instead Of to the'ong arm Of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short ono.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes tho
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
Sd. The great power and directness Of the
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through oil
the different thicknesses, from n sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking q thread. We
know Of no other family machine of equal ca
pncity. "a.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines il
will permit the seam 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 hcavi-
est garments, bed-qults, DC, and II will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary as both tensions are
regulated from above.
9th. The Machine will do a greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
It will HEN, QUILT, GATHER, BMBkolD-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
n similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the fnishinq cord as neatly as ours.
Send for a circular contaningfull Particular,
priees. 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 a

After a very interesting and profitable
session, (mentally) Of several months, our
local legislature has brought its labors to

several sessions, and many, if not all, con-

Radical republicanism has achieved an
other victory. The bill to amend the
prohbitory liquor law, by restoring the
ale, beer and cider clause, has passed
both branches of the Legislature, and
now awaits the signature of the Govern
or, which l have every assurance will be
given it without delay. The bill passed
the House this morning by very decisive
vote. The Detroit delegation voted
against it, probably through fear of losing
the German vote of that city. 1t was
flimsy dodge, because it is well known
that the majority Of them favored its
passage, and some of them used their in
huencc secretly for this purpose. So,
now, the liquor law embraces all bever-
ages. Ale and beer may be sold in
quantities of not less than one gallon
The restoration of this provision to the
law is but an act of justice. One of the
principal ingredients of ale and beer is
hops; the principal ingredient of whisky
is corn. Michigan raises few if any hops,
but large quantities of corn. Now, if
the culture of corn is TO be discouraged
by prohibiting the sale of whisky, which
is distilled from it, can discover no rea-
son why the culture Of hops, which is n
most lucrative business in Otsego, Herki-
mer and other counties of Now York,
and might become so in this State, sho'ld
not be equally discouraged.
That this amendment has passed is ow-
ing mainly to the. strenuous exertions o.
Mr.. J. B. Merwin, agent of the State
, Temperance Alliance. He secured an op.
portunily to address the members OF
Sunday afternoon, when every conceiva-
bic part of the Hall Of Representative:
was crowded to its utmost capacity, stand
t ing room and all. He spoke most elo
quently and efectually for nearly two
) hours, and, if my memory of the members
| who were present serves me right, every
t one of them, with single exception
Q voted to-day for the passage of thi'
n amendment. Mr.. Merwin deserves credi

# and his earnestness in advocating wha
