The apparatus for catching aud looping the
thread, as II is passed through by the nee

cross at the end of IL horizontal axis AS
thus revolves close to the needle under the
c'oth plate, Cse of these arms, shaped like
a hook, and rapidly enlarging toward it's
base, catches the thread and spreads the
loop, which is then brought against he axis,
aud next slips upon the other arm, which
gives the loop Il twist and holds it, At the
same time the needle goes up and comes
down again through the cloth. CARVING its
thread through the loop already formed,
when 1t is caught by the hook, and the first
loop beng released, is drawn tight by the
pulling OF the hook III spreading the second.
The twist given to the !hread in forming the
loop has material effect in strengthening
the hold OF the thread in the cloth, and
thus producing very strong and durable
seam. Its strength and little liability to rim
may be readily seen by cutting a narrow
strip across the seam Of a piece of cotton
thus sewed, and comparing it with a similar
piece sewed by hand. On attempting to
pull or rip the pieces apart, it will be found
mat the former thus tested is the stronger
OF the two. The tendency to ravel. hitherto
the Objectionable feature of machines of this
class, Is in this obyiated by the drawing of
the end Of the thread through the preceding
loop by the hook at the last stitch, and thus
fastening it whenever it is broken by de.

The needle, being short and straight,
runs with perfect eXactness and certainty
across seams. and even over several abruptly

up for the benefit of the said Society, which
amounted to the handsome sum of sixty ont

the members to choose u person for this DO
sition, when William Torbcrt, ESD, one of
the oldest and most influential members of
the church, was chosen to ell it,--a better
appointment could not have been made.
Mr.. Myers has travelled during the past
year, between six and seven thousand miles
and his expenses for the whole year amout-
ed to little over. t'rcnty.tour dottars. The
Rev. j. ID. Curtis preached in the afternoon
to the children of the Sabbath School,
sermon which, for simplicity, appropriates
ness, and eloquence, cannot be surpassed, -
so plain that the Smallest childin the school
could understand it. More scholars were
present than usual, and they were well re
paid for having attended on this occasion,
by the good admonition and excellent in
structions given them by their pastor. Chill

do well. Parents, and others not connected
with the school were also present but not
as many Of the former as We should like
