has greatly increased its
humble. variety of attractions. Among
these we noticed some specimens of silk
embroidery on flannel, intended we be-
Heve for babies dresses, by Mrs. Charles
ID. Pitts of Brandon. As this was done
by HAND, it must have required much time,
patience and perseverance,and great skill.
Speaking of embroidery, however, we are !
constrained to say that nothing on exhibi-
ton surpasses the work of Grover " sBa-
ker's sewing machine,
The following is a list of the articles on
exhibition, all of which were embroidered
on this machines
Lady's opera cloak, an elegant article );
infants cloak, child's sack, infants robe,
Swiss dress, large embroidered cushion,
two embroidered satin mats, specimen oil
black satin quilting, lady's braided circu-
lar, corsets stitched and embroidered, one
pair gentleman's slippers, lady's handker-
chief embroidered with worsted, one SAM
pie India null tucking.
Several other sewing machines are on
exhibition, the principal of which are Will
cox & Gibbs, which sews with one thread,
uses silk or thread of any kind, making
what is called the twisted-loop stitch, and
is nearly noiseless, of which j. R. Barnes

very light to very heavy, including leath-
er. without changing the needle, gathers
and sews on a band at the same time, &c.
Messrs French & Kinsley offer some
very fine specimens of cabinet work, part

price $3.50; the cottage organprlce Sl2'
and the seraphine, with harmonic attacf

We would invite the attention OF those

Considering the great amount and Vare
of work, including striking likenesses
Gen. Scott and others, we have no hesit
ton in saying that we have rarely, II eve
seen anything of the kind to equal It,
Other articles in this department we 7
serve for future notice.
The useful articles are altogether I
numerous to mention. There is an A
tomaton Gas Generator, by means
which gas can beobtained for thirty ourne
by passing current of atmospheric

intended to obviate the use of the comm
