INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Nineteenth Day.

Besides the usual great attractions in
the several departments last night, Mrs.
DeGray Benefits dancing class on the
stage drew an immense crowd Of visitors.
The little lads and misses acquitted them
selves admirably and were attentively
watched by the great crowd in their
Terpsichorean performances. We have
not the space to enter into detailed
description OF this entertainment but
are certain that the audience were salts.
fed and delighted, and that Madam
Bennett won additional laurels as q
teacher of the poetry Of motion" She
has kindly consented to give another
performance tomorrow friday night
and Saturday matinee. There will be
in addition to the standing beauties OF
the Exposition-such as the Art Gal
lery, floral display, fountains, and exhi-
bition Of articles of northumberland
features from time to time ard further
changes in many Of the displays.
THE SEWING MACHINE POWER
on exhibition at the head of the right
hand stairway from main hall to the gal
lery, is a new invention which has long
been needed by sewing machine opera
tors. The old method of running ma
chimes is unnatural, irksome, aud results
very injuriously to the physical system,
producing disability and disease, as is
we'll known by physicians. This new
and improved movement produces free
aud perfectly uniform motion at all rates
of speed, and it can be applied to any
machine. 1t is simple, light, handsome
and desirable, and the ease, pleasure
and facility Of its operation become at
once apparent to all upon inspec-
ton. The price of this great inven-
ton has placed it within the reach
of all, and we would like to
see it in general use, if only for
the advantages it possesses in preserv-
ing the health of females who operate
upon sewing machines. We are re-
quested to say that this machine power
is not the "Dr. Sapps treadle," which is
being sold in this city, but entirely diff
ferent and far superior in every respect.
The ladies should see this wonderful and
beneficial invention and purchase one.
W. C. BYRD
made a special display last night of
coral sets, including necklace, breastpin,
ear rings and bracelets. This beautiful
jawelry is now quite fashionable, and, in
fact, is stylish at all times. Mr. Byrd, at
his jewelry establishment, No. 275 Main
street, has on hand large quantity of
this class of goods in sets, ranging from
$35 to $780, His display of silverware
now on exhibition is one of the hand.
soonest and costliest in the building. 1t
embraces large collection of spoons,
knives and forks and full sets OF service.
LEOPOLD GoEPEL.
whose salesrooms are at 3T5 Main street,
in the jackson block, has on exhibition
the world renowned VIM. Knabe & Co. s
piano-fortes. The undoubted excellence
of these instruments is attested by the
repeated premiums and testimonials
awarded them when placed in competi-
ton with the products of other factories
and by the great and increasing favor
they meet with wherever they are intro
duced. The instruments now manufac-
tured by William Knabe & Co. are in
deed perfect triumph of modern sci
ence and skill, and are pronounced by
the most eminent judges to be equal, if
not superior, to any in the country. Mr..
Goepel also has at his establishment the
following line of MUSICAL merchandise,
many articles of which he has on exhi-
ton: F. c. Lighte & Co.'s pianos, Kra-
nich's & Bach's pianos, Tayler & Far
ley's celebrated organs, Smiths Ameri-
cen organs, violins, guitars, banjos,
harps, Autinas, French and German &C

monicas, jewsharps, triangles, brass and
silver instruments, trimmings for all
kinds of instruments, sheet music, music
books and musical merchandise of every
description.
