TT has gained its widespread popularity, and
from the following facts, which over $4,000 fam
lilies in the United States alone, who use them,
arc ready to endorse;
/. It makes the only seam formed by Sew
ing Machine, in which each stitch is indepen-
IDENTIFY locked, and without dependence upon the
other stitches for strength.
2. 1t makes the only seam that will admit of
the thread being cut at every fourth stitch, with
out injury to the seam in wear.
8. tits unnecessary to fasten the sends Of seams
made by this machine. This is doneby the ma
chine itself, without the use Of the hand needle.
A. The Grover 4 Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into shuttle from three
to five times, for the under thread.
8. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by n sewing machine, and is
consequently very valuable in all goods that are
TO be washed and stretched under the iron.
8. The machine is adapted to all varieties OF
fabrics, serving each equally WELL and requiring
no adjustment for any kind Of sewing, other
than the adaptation of needles and thread.
7. It is more easily kept in order than any 9TH
er machine, and need not be taken apart to be
oiled.
8. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk and linen thread with equal facility.
o. The machine is so simple that an intelli-
gent child Of ten years can readily learn to ope-
rate and keep it in order.
TO- BY reason Of its simplicity of construction
and ease Of management, it is best adapted Ia
all the wants Of the family.

C All TON.

The public, in their eagerness to supply them
selves with sewing machines making the Gro
yer a. Baker stitch, must not forget to purchase
them of the parties who alone are authorized to
sell them. All purchasers and users of fraudu-
lent machines of this class will be visited with
certain prosecution. Those who have already
been induced to buy these fraudulent machines
can purchase license for their use, before pros
ecution, on proper application. All machines
sewing from two spools, and in which only one
needle penetrates the cloth, and having a feed
which allows the material to be turned at will,
are infringements. GROVER h BAKER SIN. Co.

DEFENCE OF A. CUMMINGS The
A. T. Tribune in speaking of the de-
fense of Mr. Alex. Cummings against the
grave imputations of the House Inyest:-
gating Committee says The essential
point of this defense is a clear and
straightforward assertion that the Com
mittee utterly mtsapprehended his note
to them, aud made it read "Ihace re-
tained," instead of ''1here was retained
$4,000 of the Public Money intrusted

Mr.. Cummings on the main point made
against him in their Report.
