The Vertical Feed.

This is arranged above the shuttle plate, the
goods resting upon smooth surface are held
firmly down by the presser feot until the needle
has penetrated the fabric, at which time the
pressure on the fabric is being transmitted from
the pressure foot to the vertical feed bar (which
comes down on the goods close behind the nee.
dle) by means Of bearer connecting the two
and also with the needle-bar so that at the
time the needle has reached its lowest point the
full pressure is transmitted to the feed bar, and
at which time the eneedle bar and feed bar are
both moved laterally the desired length Of
stitch, both moving in unison at their highest
and lowest points. A moments glance at this
novel combination for feed will convince the
reader Of its superiority for the following rea,
sons:
1st. The presser foot is always raised from
the fabric when the feed takes place, thereby
presenting no resistance to seams or ridges
while feeding.
ID. The needle being in the fabric. moving
with the verticalfeed bar with its full pressure
on the goods, renders the feed sure and strong
and the stitch uniform in length.
Sd. The needle being in the goods at the
time the feed takes place. renders it impossible
to full one liece while the other is stretched.
4th. The vertical feed bar being behind the
needle renders it capable of sewing elastic
goods, making smooth and flexible seam with
stitch alike on both sides-thus enabling the
sewing of any number of thicknesses without
basting. and operating with equal facility Oh
the heaviest as well as the liyhtest fabrics.

Is beyond question the Best, Simplest and
Easier adjusted than any other Machine
in use. The inventor who can make a machine
to do its work with the least machinery is con-
sidered by all good judges as the best. Simplic-
ity of construction in everything is not only its
beauty, but its best recommendation. In moth
ing is this rule more applicable than to Sewing
Machines. The mechanical principles involved
in the Davis are new, and differ widely from
those commonly in use; combining simplicity,
strength, durability, economy and adaptation
to larger range of work than any other ma
chine.

father, near Galloway, Tennessee. by Rev.
S. S. Gill. Mr.. Melvin M. Barnes, of Nash
vile, Tennessee. to Miss Jane Douglas. fourth
daughter Of Major John Rosser. formerly Of

This records very happy event,
whereby worthy young gentleman wins

confding eyes to proud husband. We
congratulate them the more especially
from our high regard for Major Rosser
and his numerous family and connec-

old citizens, and although he and his
excellent wife have lived to see near all
their children most fortunately and hap
PLY married of, they yet enjoy much of
the vigor and all the warmth of heart and
cheerfulness of younger people. Know

regard inspired by respect warmed into
lasting friendship, we beg to offer our
hearty congratulations. And may this
young couple realize their fairest hopes
and live out many long and happy years,
and find their loves stronger and their
hearts drawn closer together at each
successive stage of life.

A BRITISH SWINDLE.
:. Making snort PoepIe TalI.,,


At Marylebone, to day, says the Lon
don Echo Of June 10, Mr.. Berkeley, So
licitor, accompanied by Mr.. Frederick
A. Stafford, appeared before Mr.. ID Eyn-
court in reference to q report that APP
peared in some of the papers few days
ago. Mr.. Berkeley stated that on Satur-
day last young woman applied to Mr..
Mansfield for his advice and assistance,
and being very short, she wished to in
crease her length. She saw an adver-
tisement in the newspapers that the ad-
vertiser could make people tall. Appli-
| cant wrote to the advertiser, and received
in reply a statement of terms and num-
Der of testimonials. According to his
directions, stated in the circular, she
sent stamps, for which she received pills,
but finding that she did not get tall, she
| thought that she had been swindled.
She had paid eleven shillings for the pills.
The magistrate (Mr. Mansield) said no
| doubt it was swindle, and granted the
| applicant a summons. The statement
by the young woman was false. The
advertiser, Mr.. Stafford, did not pretend
to. make short people tall, but the follow
ing is the advertisement:
ITO SHORT PERsoSs.-Remarks on a
method of increasing the height and i'm
proving the figure, with $50 authentica-
ted testimonials and reports of results,
sent post free on receipt of directed en-
velope."
The young woman had written to him,
and he sent her his method of treatment.
may remark that the process is perfect
" simple, and anyone, no matter in what
occupation or condition of life, can put
in practice without the slightest difficult
ty. danger or Inconvenience. Indeed,
the health is really benefited by follow
ing my system, and weakly constitutions
become robust and strong. His sugges-
tions were inter ala as follows "As a
preliminary necessity, the skin must be
kept perfectly clean, and the pores open
ed By frequent rubbing with dry, rough
towel. Avoid as much as possible car
rying heavy weight on the head aad
shoulders. Abstain from smoking or
spirit drinking, or indulge to the least
possible extent. A short rest at table is
advisable after hearty meal. An effort
should always be made to breathe
through the nose and not through the
mouth, both in the sleeping and in the
waking condition. / walking the body
should be held erect, the chest thrown
forward, and the shoulders kept well
back" Mr.. Berkeley said Mr.. Stafford
gave his advice, and by his treatment he
believed that persons would be benefited.
The young woman had made statement
upon which summons had been granted,
but she knew that her statement was
false, and had not taken it out.
Mr.. Wood, the second usher, said that
the young woman had not taken out the
summons, because she had not got the
money to do so.
Mr.. Berkeley said-If she would again
apply, his client would be glad to pay for
the summons, in order that the whole
of the facts should be brought before the
public.
Mr.. D'Eyneourt said-No doubt, as
the former application had been pub
lished, the explanation would be also.
Mr. Berkeley thanked his worship and
withdrew.

| New YoRK, July 3-The exact facts
as regards the withdrawal Of large bid
for the new FIVE per cents with which
Wall street was yesterday agitated are:
The Secretary seut circular to all the
prominent bankers of the country in
viting them to submit bid for the new
five per cents. In the meantime he
received number Of unlimited bids,
and among them one from Won Hoffman
Il Co., which was not, however the
highest. The Secretary declines ac-
cepting till all have had an opportunity
to make their offers. In the meantime
Won Hoffman 4 Co. withdrew their bid
in the interest, as tbs believed, ofanother
house, whose bid the Secretary was
strongly urged to accept at once.
The business at the Freedmans' Saw
ing Bank of this city has been entirely
suspended. A number of persons APP
piled yesterday for the payment OF
drafts made upon the bank by deposit
tors. No application has yet been made
for the appointment. of a receiver. The
attorney for the bank has put in notice
of the appearance on suit of Arabella
Mapina, who sues for her deposits, and
is entitled to six days time, which limit
will not expire before Monday next.
The counsel for plaintiff asserts that the
officers of the bank, by allowing them
selves to be sued on just and equitable
claim, have voluntarily put themselves
into bankruptcy.
The United States Court has granted
aa order to show cause why an adjudica-
ton of bankruptcy should not be made
