There was trial of sewing machines at
 Wolcottville, last Wednesday. The Weed and Davis machines were the contestants.
 The result is about what it should be-a drawn game. To be sure, two judges de
 eide in favor of one machine and the third for the other; but the certificate of the lat ter is so much longer and stronger that it makes fair set off against the majority document. The strong point in the Davis machine, we gather, is it's ''feed;" it runs beautifully on ''cut feed," whereas the other concern requires a more elaborate fodder. The Weed machine excels in ''range;;" it stitches muslin with No. 5000 thread, puts patch on cow-hide boot (Milton size), or sews sheet iron with No. Il wire, with about equal facility. The minority report claims, we shudder to ob- serve, too, that the Davis concern failed to t'fell;" we gather from what follows,
 though, that the failure to 'sell".was owing to the failure of the 'sfeller." This same ''feller" couldn't embroider, either; whereas the other ''feller" went on to en- broider so accurate likeness of H. G.. that Judge Calhoun decided against him on the spot. We are credibly informed that impartial bystanders decided from what they heard and saw at the trial that it would be advisable to buy neither a Davis nor 8 Weed, but a HowE machine, which runs on any sort of feed, fells, hems, and embroiders, and don't splash oil as the dreadful Davis thing does, and is, on the whole, the best machine .foy taneily atse.
