WHICH IS THE BEST CLOTHES WRlNGER? I?
(From the Boston Iraveuer Of july 2d) n

After careful examination, we recommend the
"UniversaP' as the best and strongest machine.
1t has "paent cog wheels (Rowell's patent double
gearb with very long and strong alternating teeth,
other wrneer) allows the rubber rollers to sepa
rate sufficiently to rpn through the largest article
easily yet cannot separate SO far that the cogs will
dsconnect aud lose their power, as is the with
other wringers whether The cogs are on one or both
ends of the roll.
It also has the peculiar advantage of two pressure
screws, so arranged that each presses both
ends OF the rolls alike the same as ii it was in the
centre, while the two together give double the ca
pacity for pressure. s..f--,s am ..--.r az.

"Universal" wripger good and servieeable article.

The "Unversar' cannot be thrown out of gear
schen the pressure is taken off, to admit large articles,
as is the case with other cog-wheel wrngers
The great advantage of RoweII's Patent
Double C0gs cannot be obtained by putting
Cog-wheels OH bOih ends Of the roll, as
some try to make it appear for when articles discon-
meet the cogs either end the power OF the cogs at
DOUBLE: or if garments are run thruogh the centre

meet when a large article is passing between the
rolls, is little if any better than one without any
cogs at all, because the cogs fail to be of service
when most needed. The "UNIvERsAL" has not
this fatal objection, but is WARRANTED DURABLE
The "Universal' has taken more ''first premi-
ums as the best, at State and Institute Fairs, than
all other wringers combined.

There are few if any, more attractive
villages in Maine than this, rs many an
extensive traveller testifies. The great
diversity of nature here, the majestic, ver'
dant hills, so near to Waterford Flat, the
pond environed by the evergreen woods
render the place very attractive. Many
visitors are here; the hotels are well
patronized The Lake Village hotel is
now under the management of Mr.. Fuller,
formerly of Concord, n. IL. He keeps a
good, respectable house, where all The
wants of visitors are carefully attended to.
A stranger gets a very favorable inn
preston of nature and the people here.
The Water Cure establishment with its
fine grounds is an attractive feature, and
also the tasteful meeting house, where
Rev. w. w. Dow ministers to a cordial
and approaching people.
The new house of DR.. Wilson, rapidly
approaches completion.
Waterford has been the birthplace OF
several who have gone forth and done
great honor to their. native place among
them Rev. DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, President
of Robert College in Constantinople, and
Rev. William Warren Of Gorham, long
known as the District Secretary of the
American Board.

Being at East Sumner, the 18th, Icalled
upon ..Slocum" and found he was not
only beautifully situated in that embryo
village, but was engaged in the moral
reforms of the day and one of those
farmers that like to study the food OF plants
and apply it plentifully, whether artificial
or not, and then give his experience to
the public. As his latchstring is always
out to those lecturers forIgood, ] found
here T. +. Jerrald, of Brunswick, the
reformed inebriatc, whom and others oil
Oxford had known for years rs the
champion for temperance. At few
hours notice, he lectured in the evening
to a full house, upon this subject What
is Alcohol and its effects upon the human
system?n His warp was truth, then wove
with that filling. that none but Gerratd
can weave. His audience were SO well
pleased with the web, they requested him
to lecture the following evening upon The
same subject.
On the 18th, there was held at this place,
at the Baptist church, the largest and most
Jealous County Convention ofGood Tenn
plars, that ever convened in this county.
After n most interesting session of one
day, they adjourned to meet with the
Crystal Wave at East Buckfeld, on the
22nd of September.
The warm reception, which the differ
ent Lodges met with, will long be Inrtn-
chile upon many heart.
The amount of snow that fell in Hart
ford, the past winter, rs measured by Mr..

Sixty tons of iron were loaded at Port
land, on five cars, the 18th, for the rail-
road, between Center Hartford and Can

One hundred tons more are engaged for
the same purpose. Canton is to hear the
sound of the trumpet, at last, to call for
renewed action.
The rain that fell on the 18th, gave new
life to vegetation, and increased the hope
of the farmer and not only added JOY to
his heart, but something to his purse.

the county. All crops except corn in this
town are good, although some fear that
in consequence of the drought, potatoes
will be light. but predict good crop.
Corn, as general rule is very backward,
and much of it is small; it must be an ex-
ceedingly warm September to give us n
half crop.
Mr.. Greene offers his nice little fifty
acre farm, finely located at Peru centre,
for sale; more desirable farm fol that
size can scarcely be found in the county.

years the ablest physician in the section
and rode many night through the dark

Mr.. Editor:--There are at present sew
en- daily papers printed in Boston; viz:
Post, Journal, Advertiser, Traveller,
Transcript, Herald, and News. The Post
is Democratic in principle, the political
Bible, and perhaps the only one that is
read with interest by many people, con-
tanning matter which they imagine will
serve to save them, but which many more
people think will operate to hasten on
their political humiliation. The Journal
is much like the Post on all subjects but
politics. and il must look out that it does
not become as Objectionable in every fea-
ture. Ii claims TO labor distinctly i'll the
interests of the Republican party. The
Advertiser is Republican. So is the Trav-
eller, and at present is the iavorite daily
paper among religious denominations.
and those who are working in the temper
ance cause. The Transcript is like the
Journal, only more radical. Each OF
these papers retail for four cents per
copy. The Herald is two-cent paper,
and the News sells for one cent. The
News has but recently made lis appear
ancc, and is thought to be short-lived
The politics Of the Herald are too widely
known; those of the News are not known
at ALL
a penny daily is to be started here The
first of September, having for its editor
r. c. Durham, Esq, Mr.. Durham is
an Oxfcrd County boy, and is the editor
OF The Sunday Times. The new paper,
will be called the Boston Evening Times.
and will be published in connection with
the Sunday Times. Its editor is alive TO
the interests of our citizens May he and
the public be greatly benefited by the
publication The chcapness of the new
paper, and the amount of matter 1t will
contain, will make it very profitable to
the reader. Country orders are solicited.
