cess of shipping. We pleased to re-
cord this evidence OF the fact that our
merchants and manufacturers can, and
do, compete successfully with Eastern
markets. Once it is Understood
throughout the regions named, that this
market is fully supplied with every
thing the country merchant needs for

there will be diversion of the trade
from Baltimore and Philadelphia to
our own city, proving mutually ad-
yantageous to both parties.

TO contribute funds to aid the Ameri-

amount is TOO small to remit, Mr.. Gem
mer tells US; and he trusts that any
who feel disposed to do so, will
hand in their contributions within a

now on his way thither, and will per-

In reference to the Highest Premium
the Gold Medal recently awarded
Wheeler Il Wilson at the Paris Ex-
position-Ihe Independent we'll says:
"That modern wonder, the Atlantic
Cable, seldom flashes messages between
the two hemispheres fraught with more
pleasing, as we'll as important intelli-
gence, than was the announcement that
a magnificent tribute of merit had been
awarded to one of the most enterprising
tirms-the Wheeler IL Wilson Manuiac-
turing Company. This is the only Gold
Medal awarded for Sewing Machines
and ButtOn-hole Machines. There were
eighty-two competitors. That which
has long been claimed by the Wheeler
* Wilson Company, and which those
who are acquainted with the superior
qualities of these Sewing Machines,
have never hesitated to acknowledge as
rightful claim, must now be univer-
sally conceded-uameIy, that the
Wheeler IL Wilson Machines are, par
excellence, the most desirable. To the
protectors of these Machines, their
award is in truth well deserved"
The Singer Machine exhibited by N.
Collebaut, of Paris, stood as low as No.
IL on the roll of merit.
