The HenIed FERN.

The longest cheated terms that we have known in
in this latitude for some time came to a close on
Tuesday evening last For five days and nights the
mercury had not been below "a Fahrenheit and not
often below 90-rangng from those figures up to
90 in the shade. Our friends Bronson & Bone for
learned the utter inadequacy Of their accommo
dations for dispensing their delicious Ice Creams,
Iced Lemonades and the various cooling reflections
they know so well how to concoct. II was voted
over and over again that they must put up brick
store, with special reference to large, elegant and
convenient Ice Cream Saloon to accommodate their
growing trade.
But as we were saying, the heated term came to q
close on Tuesday evening through the aid of gen.
tie Northeaster which has cooled off and purified the
atmosphere admirably We also had good soaking
shower, that did not come amiss.

much the largest portion. Such an invention is the
Lamb Knitting Machine. The price at which it is
sold puts It in the power of almost any energetic per
to procure it, and in the hands of any industri-
GUS woman, it is an unfailing, easy and agreeable
source of support to herself and family. Hundreds
of persons who exc out precarious subsistence
at the hardest kind oflabor, by the aid of this ma
chine, may live in comparative ease and abundance
The Lamb Knitting Machine knits Hosiery of all
sizes Knits the heel and narrows off the toe COM
plete widens and narrows, and by knitting the web
either tabular or fiat single, double or ribbed pro-
duces upward of twenty kinds of wearing apparel
The demand for such articles is constant always in
creasng that practice and skill in the use of the
machine once secured, the extent which the work
may be carried rests entirely with the operator
A farmer in Dodge Co. in this State, who procured
one of these machines and worked up his own wool

wool net him So, y H. when if he had sold it in the
