SEWING MACHINE6.
The Howe, Grover & Baker, Wilcox d
Gibbs, and several other we'll known ma
chimes are exhibited, and Is usual, are
surrounded BY crowds Of interested spec
tatorA The only new machinss,-nsw
that Is in the region--that We noticed are
the Bartram s. Fsnton & Wilson ma
chimes, for which Mr.. E. O. Ryer ID agent.
The first named Of these i first class
single thread machine, combining many
advantages, and noticeable for its variety
Of ingenious attachments for special pur-
poses. Thus there is button hole at
taohment, substantially the Same - the
famous Wheeler & Wilson button hole
machine; another attachment plaits q
ruhae perfectly at the same time - 1t ia
sewed on another waves an ornamental
trimming OF braid or other material; and
there are others which tuck, hem, braid,
gather, 60. We have no doubt that this
is one of the two best single thread
machines and we could not dispute any
one who should declare it to be tho best.
The Wilson Is a $40 shuttle machine.

WORKING OXEN.
In this department the exhibition !
better than we had supposed possible
since oxen are not so popular with mos
farmers as in the past. The trials o
strength were most thorough aud the com

thorough training. G. w. Brownell, o
