TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
4 the fist time in an extended way, the +. +
(FAMII4Y FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST: -sE
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines ut
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lockstitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines; "a
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been SO rnpid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and o great part of
the country unsuppled; and last, but not least,
to give a woman's reason, r
BECAUSE, it is just a little darling" and so
easy to learn. zsaa3 /. EassF EEHF ssze

Sold on the instalment plan, if desired.

DOUBLE SHOVEL PLOW.

This implement we introduced into this mar
k ct in 1870, and its success is best attested by
the certificates appended below. In form and
appearance it closely resembles the Routt Pillow,
but it is of lighter draft, and has differently ar
ranged shares. We find them, from actual trial,
to be superior to all other plows for cultivating
corn, potatoes, nurseries, gardens, &c.:
First-It saves labor, blowing two burrows at n
time, finishing one row each round, having made
four complete burrows.
Seco1ld-It is more durable, its frame being
made of wrought iron; it has no rod coulter,
will not clog or choke in foul or weedy ground as
other plows do; is light of draught and easily
managed, only weighing thirty eight pounds,
leaves the ground in better condition, destroys
the weeds and grass effectualiy, and pulyerizes
the ground completely causing it to hold its
moisture in dry seasons.

In A PET.

A Washington special Of yesterday
gives this interesting information; The
Presidents unexpected departure for
Long Branch took the entire town by
surprise, and created feeling of bitter
disappointment among Senators and
members, delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention, aud others having business
with the executive. The ante-room of
the White House was full most of the
day with callers. who very generally
we're under the impression that the
President would not desert the White
House quite as soon as Congress de-
serted the capitol. Some indignant
Representatives, who had important
business to transact and could find nei
Their the President nor either Of his sec
retaries, declared that there was more
truth than they had supposed in Mr.
Summers charge that the executive
spent most Of his time seaside lettering
A great many had purposely been de
laying pressing their matters on The
President till Congress had gone, il
order that he might have more time.
Why doesn't somebody give the little fel
low something to cure his pouting?

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June l3.-The news Of
the nomination of Hendricks for Cover

as a sure indication that the Baltimore
Convention will not put third ticket in
the field.
The Government is in daily expecta'
ton of receiving information of the re-
lease of DR.. Howard. 1t has made no
imperative demands, but long ago in
structed our minister at Madrid to neg
lect no opportunity to urge his release.
