ERIE RAILWAY

As many of our merchants and bust
ness mer are anticipating trip to the
East this season, we would call their at
;ention to the superior advantages of the
great Eric Railway, for reaching all the
Eastern cities. This line makes direct
connection at Dunkirk. Buffalo and sal
amanca, with all western and southern
Lines, and provides shorter route to
New York, Boston and New England
cities than any other road. The cars beng
constructed on the broad gauge principle,
are consequently pleasanter and more con-
venient than those in general use. The
employees of the road are gentlemanIy,
courteous and obliging, and we are sure
no che will regret his choice at having
taken this route to the East. Additional
information can dc derived from advert
isment in another column.

FRANK MOORE'S "WOMEN OF
THE WARS

This best Of the books of the war vet
published, is now offered TO the public by
the canvassers. We feel sure it will be
found to be a work of rea! merit. 1t seeks
no ephemeral popularity from highly col
ored and Munchansenish stories Of i'm
possible adventures by doubtful females
figuring as dashing couriers in our ar
mics, OF "spies" in the Confederate
camps. But its records are the truthful
histories Of more noble lives. No char
acier is here introduced tsat was not
kHor0n to be pure. Here We have the ex
periences Of women who forsook the com
forts of elegant homes, for the wild scenes,
the miseries aud the dangers of army
lie, actuated solely by the desire to min
lister to the suffering soldiers. And what
scenes they encountered Sometimes in
the thick Of battle, amidst pIuDging shot
and bursting shells, succoring the fallen
soldier, regardless of their own peril;
oftener seen at the hospital cot. bathing
the brow of the sufferer, attending to his
wounds, and cheering him in his loneli.
ness and agony with some saving DELI
caey that only the thoughtful heart and
ready hand of woman ever brings. How
many owe their lives to-day to the min
istrations Of these self sacrificing women (!
Margaret Breckenridge, Mrs Fanny Rick
cts, Mrs. Mary Brady, Mrs. Belle Rey-
nolds, Mrs. Mary Morris Husband, and
many more in this noble iist--they are
names that deserve to live. Only by rea-
ding the facts of their lives in the army
facts oftentimes more thrilling than any
romance-can we be- lea to realize the
beauty and nobility of weman's soul, or
the true heFOism, and the unselfSh, faith
full devotion of which women are capable.
This is the true field for material for an
Interesting book; and the author has done
MS part well. Thousands of our soldiers,
who will see this book, will take it eager
" TO their hearts aud homes, for the
grateful and undying memories with
which its characters are associated in
their own breasts.
The work is splendidly published. Moth
ing eou'darabIo with it in elegance and
beauty has before been brought out, of
all the books devoted to our war literture.
The portraits of these women, on steel,
are in the very highest and costliest style

FAIRBAxKs' ScALEs.-About forty years ago
manufacturing these Scales and ever since
then their business has steadily and rapidly
increased, and they have kept far ahead of
all competition. During the last year they
added largely to their works, and their sales
were very greatly in excess of any former
year. This fact is unusual, if not unparall
eled. in the history of inventions and BUSH
ness IN this country. and proves clearly that
their Scales are. in all respects, just what the
people want.

THE GROVER d BAKER ELASTIC.
STITCH SEWING MACHINES

THE GROh Err BAKER ELASTIC
STITCH SEWING MACHINES
Are superio. 10 all others for the following
reasons:
l. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-windng of thread.
,. They are more easily understood and
used. and less liable to arrangement than 9TH
CT machines.
.. They are capable Of executing perfect
", without change of adjustment, 4 much
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is
much more firm. elastic. and durable. espc-
cially upon articles which require to be wash
ed and ironed. than any other stitch
D. This stitch, owing to the manner in
which the Outer thread is lnwrought. is much
the most plume and beautiful IN use, and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and iToned until
they are worn out.
6. = The structure of The seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of on
~ few stitches, it will neither open. run, nor
ravel. but remains firm and durable.
Z. Unlike other machines. these fasten
both ends of the scam by their own opera
ton.
8. With these machines. while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam. cot
ton may be used upon the other side without
lesseniEg the strength or durability Of the
seam. This can be done on no other ma
chine, and is great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with silk
9. These machines. in addition to their
superior merits as instruments for sewing. BY
change of adjustment, easily learned and
practised, execute the most beautiful and per.
manent embroidery aud ornamental work.
