THE VERTICAL FEED BAR

Involves a new feature in Sewing Machines,
possessing one of the most valuable working
principles ever patented; its operation is posi-
tive, enablinS il to run over seams and turn cor
ners without changing the tension, length of
stitch, or stopping the motion OF the machine,
and to sew any number of thicknesses of any
length, without basting; entirely preventing the
fullIns and puckering of one piece, while the
other remains straight; and at the same time, in
q practical Manner, will do what no other ma
chine can, to-wit:
TAKE ALL TIE STRETCH FROM II GOODS.
Operating with equal facility on the heaviest as
we'll as the lightest fabrics, leaving 8 seam alike
on both sides, beautifully smooth, strong and
elastic. 1t Is especially adapted to the diversified
wants OF family sewing, rs it does any Kind of
work which can be done with q sewing machine,
with less changing or adjusting than any other
machine in the market, and is SO simple in con-
structi0n that it can be used by any one with alac-
riiy. 1t is one of the largest machines manufac-
turef that is adapted to F.AMILY USE, TAILOR
ING OR LEATHER WORK.

claim, in addition to its superior principles,
more absolute perfection of workmanship and
more complete ailjustability than pertains to any

igators, we are told, returned to their
homes and carried with them the story
of their discoveries. Others, during
the succeeding hundred years, followed
NJ the path their countrymen had trod-
den, but troubles arose, and some Scan
dinavians who had brought their wives
and children with them had difficulties
in reference TO their conduct The
Vineland colonists treated the aborig-
ines as enemies, and a continued state
of warfare existed. It is believed by
many who have investigated the matter
that the Vineland of the northern navi-
gators was the coast of New England.
IF christianity Eas established on this
continent eight hundred years ago it
soon died away, for, according to the
writings or Sagas, priest who left Co
penhagen about HOO, for Vineland,
was, on his arrival, put to death by
man who spoke his own tongue.

It will be seen from this table as
clearly as from anything that could be
published, how rapidly the speed of
trotting stock is increasing, and this is
greatly due to the class of meetings in
augurated in this city. The average
this year would have been much lower
had 1t not been for exceptional circum-
stances. The number of heats trotted
was decidedly greater than ever before,
though there were no more races than
usual This, of course, is because
comparatively few of the events were
won IN three consecutive heats, and the
horses becoming tired, slower time was
the consequence toward the close of
each race. In the stallion race, for in
stance, the second heat was trotted in
2:204, while Jefferson was able to win
the sixth in 2:2S1 and in the 2:26 race
hefourth heat was made In 241f. These
slow heats hurt the average, but 1t is
loER enough TO prove beyond q doubt
that the Buffalo track is the fastest IN
the world. The same horses made two
or three seconds better time over il than
they di at Cleveland.
An unusual number of performances
which became matters of record were
achieved at the meeting Just closed. The
trotted was the 2:20 race of Friday; the
fastest fifth heat ever made was the POI
of Red Cloud the fastest heat by a six
year cid was the 2:20I of Fleetv Gold
dust; the fastest stallion heat was the
2:20I of Smuggler; the fastest quarter
mile ever trotted by leading horse in
a race was the 32f of Red Cloud and,
more important than all, the fastest
Iniile eyer tEotted il in ri the wpFla fFb e
events occurred on the last day, which
stands without a peer in the annals of
tIotting.
The brilliant success of the meeting
of 1874 confirms Buffalo in its position
as the trotting centre of the country,
and viii give an impetus to the sport,
the influence of which viii long be felt.
for it was achieved through square con
tests and lust ruling.

Achierments of london Thieyes.

A London correspondent thus writes
of a noted swindle in that city Boyle
saws these fellows often steal whole
train loads and boat loa5s of coal, and
the detectives can't get a clue to them.
The statement appeared so ridiculous
that / thought my companion was
Joking. He was, however, in earnest,
and he told me the way they did it /:
In the first place." said he, ''you
know these chaps have regular organ
lied society for purposes of mutual as
sistance In carrying out their plans OF
assisting each other when they fall into
the hands of Justice. Each man IS as
signed his district, and when he has
made haul there he is transferred to
another. They are all rich, and when
ever a large sum is needed to carry out
their knavish plans, the money is not
wanting. For instance a train of coal
comes into the city for sale. One of
the gang disguised as respectable coal
dealer, approaches the man who
has the coal In charge, and after some
talks bargains for it. The same after
coal carts, unloads the whole train,
whisks off the entire cargo IN two or
three hours, and the purchaser, taking
the precaution to be a little late for
banking hours, gives check in payment,
which, of course. on presentation the
next morning, is found to be worthless.
The coal and purchaser are gone, and it
is as difficult to trace the one as the 9TH
er. The same thing is done with boat
loads of coal, for the thieves have their
own barges and employees on the river
as well as on the land. We have not
yet been able to break up this swindle,

Parsley for Sheep.

A correspondent of the Toronto Globe
reports a farmer as saying 81 SOW
parsley all through my grass land, and
never lay down any clover land in the
spring but 1 SOW parsley with if. It is
the best food for sheep there is-keeps
them healthy and fattens them with
wonderful rapidity. OF course, 1 don't
sow enough to smother the grass but
I take care there is some all through it,
and the sheep will find it out and never
leave bit of it if they can help it.
The COWS and cattle are also very fond
of it, but it is the fittest for sheep, as it
does them the most good. The only
thing to be guarded against is to keep
the breeding ewes from getting too
much. They fatten so fast that it stops
their breeding, which is, of course, a
loss. But l am careful to keep the
breeding ewes off it as much as 1 can.
It does we'll for lambs, however, and
for wethers and fattening ewes nothing
is equal to it. find that it does better |
than grain. It also produces heavy
deeces of wool. "
