FT.o7ENCE
SEWING MACHINE.

We claim for the FLORENCE the fol-
lowing advantages over any and all
Sewing Machines:
re- II makes four different stitches,
the lock, knot, double lock, and double
knot, on one and the same machine.
Each stitch being alike on both sides OF
the fabric.
@ Every Machine has the reversible
feed motion, which enables the operator,
by simply turning a thumb screw, to
have the work run either to the right or
left. to stay any part of the seam, or fss'
ten the ends of seams, without turning
the fabric.
re- Changing the length of stitch,
and from one kind of stitch to another.
can readily be done while the Machine is
in motion.
~ Tho needle is easily adjusted.
~ It is almost noiseless and can be
used where quiet is necessary.
~ It's motions are all positive; there
are no springs to get out OF order, and
its simplicity enables the most inexpe-
rienced to operate it.
fg 1t does not require finer thread
on the under than the upper side, and
will sew across the heaviest seams, or
from ono to more thicknesses of cloth,
without change of needle, tension, or
breaking thread.
~ The Hemmer is easily adjusted
and will turn any width of hem desired ,
~ No other Machine will do so
great range of work as the Florence.
E%It will hem, fell, bind, gather,
braid, quilt, and gather and sew on a
ruffie at the same time.
EIt is fully protected and licensed
by Elias Howe, Jr., and his associates,
and our own Letters Patent.
The taking up of the slack thread Is
not performed by the the irregular con
traction of wire coil or uncertain oper.
alton of wire levers. The precision and
accuracy with which the Florence draws
the thread into the cloth IS unapproached
in any sewing machine offered in the
market.
Each Machine is furnished by us with
Barnum's Self Sewer, which guides the
worE ITSELF and is of incalculable value
especially to inexperienced operators.
Possessing the above, and many other
advantages, the Florence is sold at cor
responding prices with other first-class
machines, and a careful examination will
fally snbstantiate all that we have claim
ed for it, and Justify the assertion we
now make, that it is the best sewing ma
chine in the world.
Every machine is warranted by US to
be all that we claim for it, and we will
give written warranty if required.

TERRIBLE DRoUGHr IN VIRGINIA.
A letter from Hanover, Va, to the Alex
andria Gazette says:
Within the memory of the Oldest in
habitnnt no such drought has visited our
section as this. For forty five days or
more no rain has fallen to wet the earth
and during the whole time there have
been blighting winds and scorching suns.
The grass is withered and dry, the gar
dens have ceased to yield their usual
products, and the corn is in every stage
of disability, from the s.unted dwarf to
the faded and dried leaf. On lands
which usually produce from five TO eight
barrels of corn to tho acre, the tassel is
making its appearance on stalks from two
to four feet high. Our most reliable
farmers say that future propitious sea-
son cannot produce more than half a crop
on the best cultivated fields. The oat is
estimated at one half its usual crop. To.
bacco is small, sickly, and very much
missing. Peas, potatoes, melons, buck
wheat. sugar-cane, broom corn, cotton,
pumpkins, &c, are in sickly and preca-
rious condition.
