BUY ONE OF
WEST AND WILSON'S
DOUBLE THREAD
FAMILY SEWING MACHINES.
PRICE, THIRTY DOLLARS.
This celebrated Machine was patented June29th
1883, and awarded the
FIRST PR M u M,
At the Ohio State Fair held at Sandusky, 1858,
and at every County Fair in the State,
where the same has been
exhibited
This machine is now confidently offered to tho
public as the best
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. It's simplicity, and the dircctness with
which the power is communicated 10 the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
u decided superiority over all other machines.
Cd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n 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 drectness
~ nd gnft bo
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather with almost equal
case, and tho 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, it
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; it has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing TO pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed-quilts &c, and it 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.
1t 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 contaningfull 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

SHIP TINBER.-The famous Donald Mckay practical ship builder, is under contract it is said wish ths Briiish. .Govsrnment, to supply il with large quantity of white oak and hard pine timber for ship-building purposes. Some of his agents have probably been out in Windbam County, buying all the desirable timber they could find, 90 that Eastern Connecticut is well swept of ship-timber. There is no better timber grown, than that which grows in the rocky and sterile soil of some portions of Connecticut. Where we do have good soil, like the bottom land .of the Connecticut and Housatonic valleys, it is first rate; and when we undertake to have a rocky farm, we have it; and no half way work about it either. But the poorest land in Connec- tieut will grow the best ship-timber, slowly but sturdily. As . general rule, our farmers know when it is best to sell their stnf and when they But westhink it not unwise to say, that good ship-timber, for years to come, must command stiff prices; and for aught we know, the prices will be growing stiffsr and stifer. We have a suspicion that such will be the case.-Courant.
