Firet-1t is the only machine extant having
i reversible feed, which enables the operator
to sew either right OF left at pleasure.
second-1t is the only machine in the
world That makes perfectly elastic seam,
alike on each side Of the fabric.
Third-1t not only makes the lock stitch,
bnt three others, which for certain kinds Of
work are much superior, especially where
elasticity is required.
Fouth-It is the only machine that fastens
the end Of each seam securely, and docs 1t in
one, fourth Of the time It can be done By hand.
Fitth-h does not draw thin, fine goods

sixth-H is the only machine having O
cLange1ess tension, and no slack threads,
both Of which are drawn together sImulta-
neoue1y.
scEcnt5-1t Is the only machine capable Of
making more than one kind of stitch. hence
many who have not seen it suppose that It

4 free discussion was participated in among
themembcrs, some Of whom conteoded, that
as due notice had been given to subscribers,
and they had not applied for their unexpend-
cd Is per cent. they expected the Committee
10 apply the money now on hand to charita-
ble purposes; others believed that the money
VIE subscribed for the purpose of forwarding
The Canal improvement, and that the Com
1nittee should hold the funds to the fall and
winter, when further expenditures must be
made for thesame purpose.
Mr- Coventry looked upon the Committee
merely as trustees for the contributors, and
did not believe they should assume any con-
troll over the funds, or decide upon appropFi-
ating to any object, be 1t ever SO good, funds
which did not belong to them. He wonld
prefer tn give the subscribers chance to call
and get their proportion, and If nuy failed to
do SO, or left it v It'll the Committee. after due
notice, then let it apply to the furtheranee Of
