not previously oxcrtod ts claims upon the quiet
ncighborhood ofchurches and dwellings, are now en-
croached upon by energetic merchants and manu-
iacturers; among these mention the corner of
Lombard and Sharp streets, where Baltimore never
saw either a store or shop, and where now Mr..
Shanks, of Sewing Machine reputation. has estab-
lShcd an extensive manutactOFy and stOTehOusc Of
hi, well-kuown uoi5cless Sewing Machines This is
manifest proof that not the place. but the energy Of
enterprise makes business and trade but not only
Sewing Machines Of domestic production lind now u
market in Baltimore and abroad, but other articles
which were previously only known as introduced by
agents Of other cities and States are manufac
tured here and employing the channels of commerce
in all directions. The firm Of Banks, Diusmorc Co.,

Morn BALTIMORE PATrNTs.-Among the numerous
habits artiically acquired is universally
INDUCED than smoking tobacco, and manifold the
c0niyances patented for pipes and egars, yet among
all the patents granted none Is original and
more purely based upon scientific and sanitary priu
ciplcs than the "hpoao- hGihgric, or smoke purify
| ng tobacco pipe Of Mr.. W. II. Eckcy's invention
The collection Of nicotine in one cup and of saliva in
another, the guidance of the smoke through three
| chambers, Of which one contains a sponge, and the
entire construction Of the pipe and stem effect the
avoidance of the three most objected disadvantages
of smoking, viz Of The tongue, parchedness
of the mouth and offensive breath. 1t is not our call
ing or wish to advise any to smoke but if men
will smoke it is in province to tell them that to
smoke Of Mr.. Fekeys patent pipes less injuri
Gus and more pleasant than in any other manner We
| are acquainted with.
