The Grover a Baker Sewing Machine has
special claims to public attention, as a very SUI
perior and valuable assistant in household IN
dustry. That this machine has made thousands
of friends, who attest its superiority over every
thing else can not be doubted; and it is claimed
that it is only necessary to REASON upon its pe-
cularities to enable any person to appreciate
its advantages in the family over any other one
in use. What these advantages are claimed to
be, wepropose briefly to state, that compari-
son may be drawn between the Grover Il Baker
and other machines:
/, 1t makes the only seam formed by a sewing
machine in which each stitch is Independently
locked, and without dependence upon the other
stitches for strength.
z. 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.
3. 1t is unnecessary TO fasten the ends of
seams made by this machine. This is done By
the machine itself, without the use of the hand
needle.
A. The Grover & Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into the shuttle from
three to five times for the under thread.
| 5. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by sewing machine, and is
very valuable in all goods that are to DO washed
and stretched under the iron.
o. The machine is adapted to all varieties oi
fabrics, sewing each equally well, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind of sewing other
than the adoption of needles and thread.
z. 1t is more easily kept in order than any
other machine, and need not to be taken apart
to be oiled.
| 3. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk, and linen thread with equal facility.
.. The machine is SO simple that an intelli-
gent child of ten years can readily learn to op-
crate and keep IL in order.
10. BY reason Of its simplicity of construc-

ANOTHER AFRICAN EXPLORER CONES
TO GRIET.--Scarcely month since, an
account of the death Of Jules Gerard, the
intrepid African lion hunter, appeared in
print; and now another Of equal celebrity,
my poor friend Charles Anderson, has
met with almost ms sad fate at the
hands Of the treacherous natives.
After several years wandering in the
interior of Africa, undergoing hardships
against which few men could have stood
up, this hardy explorer married and set
tied down in Dsmara Land, and followed
the trade Of cattle dealing with the ma
tives. To June last, he sent off a largo
mob Of cattle down to Cape Town for
sale, but on the road his caravans were
attacked by tribe Of Manaquas, who
murdered his men 10 cool blood, and drove
away his cattle into the mountains. In
endeavofing TO rescue his property from
the savages, Anderson unfortunately re-
ceived a, shot in the thigh, which will if IL
should not prove fatal, render him Grip
pie for life.--Lstter from Cape Torn,

There is little OF no activity in the
Eastern wool market at.presenL though
there is considerable selling At prices IA
vorlng the buyer somewhat. Holders
generally, however, are not disposed to
concede much in rates, knowing that the
stocks in the bards Of manufacturers are
limited, that the prospect is that importa.
tions will be limited, and that the surety
is now given 10 the people that the war
must be continued. The inactivity in the
goods market deters manufacturers from
buving beyond their urgent wants.
The NY. Economist, Of Saturday,
says: Holders of wool feel dissppoint-
cd at the course of The wool market du-
ring The season, but as body they have
less reason to complain than most people
engaged in mercantile pursuits. Wool
maintains lis currency prices pretty well
indeed, under rulnors Of peace, and all
other circumstances connected with the
military and financial affairs Of the ma
tion. Gold and cotton comes in now
more freely, but still the wool market does
not appear to be seriously affected beyond
little stagnation in trade. On the con-
trary, wool is higher to-day than it has
been at any time this season, taking gold
as n basis, which, as economists, we must
do. This indicates that wool has really
an intrinsic value, and Independents of the
price Of gold, peace or war, the article is
likely to maintain its price. The pros
pect now is that good demand will set
10 for wool and woolens next month, nj i'm
proved prices, aud then a reaction will fol-
low, probably, in May, ere the new clip
comes 10 market"
