1t is impossible for us, in this brief notice. to
speak of all the points of utility and excellence
embraced in these machines, and must content
ourselves with mere mention of few of them,
and invite you to examine the machine. We
will furnish either the open or closed cylinder,
spiked with the very best of iron. The cylinder
shaft is made of steel, and fitted with brass boxes
lined with the best Babbt metal. The gear
shafts are made of steel, and run in boxes lined
with Babbit metal. The gearing is made of the
best of charcoal iron, and fitted in the best posi-
BILE manner. The cylinder is perfectly adjusted,
by men of long experience. The cylinder cap is
so constructed that the cylinder will not throw
dust into the face of the feeder. The grain-car-
rier is ten inches wider than the cylinder afford
ing ample room to obtain perfect separation.
The revolving knocker in the second carrier is of
great value in securing the grain The double
fan will clean grain of all kinds, in the most per-
feet manner, without waste. The revolving and
vibrating shoe-rakes are very useful in prevent
ing the choking or filling up Of the shoe and ele-
vator. The arrang cmcnt for raising and lower
ing the concave is very simple and easily opera
ted The sel-oling and noiseless shake-rods,
for the shoe and elevator spout, must be seen to
be appreciated The small shafts are made of
good iron the Journals turned, polished, and
fitted in the boxes perfectly. The boxes are lined
with Babbit metal, and fitted with oil cups and
caps to keep out the dust. The puleys are made
of cast-iron, covered with leather, to prevent
slipping. The belts are of good oak-tanncd eath-
er well stretched, cemented and riVeted together.

PERU STATION, DELAWARE RAILROAD,
Near Armstrong; Corner, June 21.
Mr.. EDITOR On Thursday the 9th
inst. the great wool-pulling convention of
the negro party of the State of Delaware,
assembled at Dover for the purpose of
nominating candidates for Governor and
Congress, all the scientific shoulder hitters
and bruisers from the different counties
being present except the gentleman of col
or from this county, who so ingloriously
defeated young Jammy Raddle in pugi-
lstic encounter for the champion belt of
Christiana Hundred, few days before.
lie was considered rather a dangerous ele-
ment to introduce to their friends from
Kent and Sussex counties, the ring mana
gers having decided that he was ruled out
having so recently won the belt. After
the organization took place and much dis
cussion had in regard to the object for
which they had assembled, they discover
ed the material composing the body could
not be harmonized, the finale of which
was regular row and free fight. Tony
Snag, after swallowing pickle to clear
his pipes of negro wool, commenced bawl-
ing at the top of his voice to clear the
track and form ring. The ropes were
soon stretched and time called by the same
individual, when the combatants accom-
panied by their seconds and bottle-holders
entered the ring. Tossing for corners
then commenced, which resulted in favor
of the Mill Boy, not of the Slashes, but
of Herring Town Boggs. The friends of
Pill Box concluded not to give it up so,
but to fight it out on that line. Both of
the combatants entered the ring, looked
gay and happy, shook hands and smiled
according to the most approved style of
Heenan aud Sayers. After considerable
parley and several feints, each trying for
vantage ground, square round was fought
resulting in favor of the Mill Boy, the
vender of pukes and pills falling heavily
across the ropes, with one eye closed.
His friend and bottlc-holdcr cried out
slaughter him, if you dare ~ After
much confusion and cries of 'foul," &c.
another round was fought with no better
result for Pill Box, and many of his
friends withdrew from the scene eff the
contest, thinking his fate sealed. On the

what they called an old fashioned Sussex
county sockdolager, knocking Pill Box
across the ropes and out of time, which
caused him to Jump so high that he jump
ed clear out of the ring, when his second
threw up the sponge, and the Mill Boy
was declared victor. Old Uncle Ben, of
Sussex, who had long been in training for
the contest, was ruled out, on account of
over weight.
d Old Cutting Box having no opponent
of light weights, the stakes were declared
forfeited in his favor, after which an ode
to Uncle Ben was sang standing Pill Box
leading the choir
o, if could sing like Uncle Ben,
Like Uncle Ben,
So loud and tarncl high,
The Governors office might go to h,
And would say "Shoo Fly"
After singing, the benediction was pro-
nounced by one of the weak k-kneed Vice
Presidents, and thus ended the great wool
pulling match, for the present.

THE AMERICAN
Buttonhole, 0verseaming,
SEWING MACHINE,
Buttonhole, 0verseaming,
Has the following advantages over
most all other Sewing Machines
in the market:

1t has a tension which prevents cutting of
thread or dropping of stitches.
2 1t has the most powerful construction, which
will insure good work for quarter Of century.
3 1t sews the lightest cambria and the usual
shoe leather without any strain whatever.
4 1t has feed bar which can be lowered or
raised at will, thus adapting it to all kinds of
material.
1t is impossible to get the machine out of Or
der unless by rust, dust or taking apart 1t will
never get out of order by working.
1t has the highest attainable speed making
1900 stitches per minute by foot, and 5000 by
steam.
I 1t is the lightest running shuttle machine
1t makes the most beautiful lock stitch.
1t has the handsomest appearance.
10 1t has the strongest, most convenient, hand
somely polished braced table, with drawer, and
board to prevent soling the dress.
IL Its cover is polished, fitting and locked as
little trunk. There is nothing better than this to
preserve the machine.
IL 1t has straight needle.
l3 Four bobbins hold spool of cotton.
IA 1t has the best hemmer.
Is 1t has the most complete attachment, the
Jack-of-all-trades, hens, fells, binds, bastes,
tucks, braids and ruffles.
l6 1t is as simple as any machine in the mar
ket.
II 1t needs but little time TO learn its opera
ton.
ls 1t has the best embroidering attachment
10 1t sews on straight piece while putting
another at the same time without basting, at
tachment or after work.
These advantages combine the best qualities of
a sewing machine for the family who want to
use it steadily in all kinds of work. Nothing
equal can he found in the way of combining the
advantages of all the sewing machines now
known, while obvating all their faults.
