THE WEED
SEWING MACHINE !
FAMILY FAVORITEl
WHY THE WEED is THE BEST.

HONESTLY believing the Weed Sewing
H Machine to be the best in the world, and
supported by the favorable verdict of its pa
irons, | regard the time as not far distant
when even its competitors will acknowledge
the truth and justice of our claim, that The
W ecd Sewing Machine Company have Ifo-
duced the best Sewing Machine for the topic.
Being the strongest most durable liphiest
running and most simple Of any in the mar
ket 1t has large balance-w heel causingit
to run very light. 1t has straight needle,
tina; will sew any material from fine muslin to
block tin, will use any kind OF cotton (glnz-
ed or unglazed) ami the heaviest OF linen
thread MS well MS the finest and you do not
have to soap or oil your thread or goods te-
fore stitching. 1t is never taken apart TO oil
or clean, thus making it almost impossible TO
get ont of order it has no cops or vibrating
springs or single spring motion about IT, as
most Sewing Machines have. II has more
space under the foot aud arm, and larger
table than any other. 1t makes n stitch alike
on both sides and the tension never changes
while running, The needle is very ensly set
and none OF its parts ever break while in use.
Provision is made by adjustable caps on shaft
journals, and clamp screws on other parts, TO
take up any wear thai may occur when nsed
constantly for II length of time in factories
with power. No friction on the bobbin, no
strain on he thread The shuttle need not
be taken from is race TO change the tension.
The take-up besides being compensafing, is
adjus :nblc to all erades OF work, and every
movement is direct and positive II has the
latest improved shuttle, making the most elas-
tic seam, that viii rot break or draw after
washing aud does not waste thread. The
most delicate woman hns strength 10 run it,

y Native Breed oG sheep.

There is no country in the world that Of
icrs greater advantages to the shepherd
than our own. Instead of importing a hun
drcd million pounds of wool yearly, we
ought to export that quantity. Instead OF
cjmp'aii i lg the competition of our own
neehbors across the lakes, an dreading the
wool interest, ecause we no longer enjoy
the protective duty of few cents pound
upon wool, we ought, with our better climate
and equally rich soil, to beat them at their
own trade If we except the American
Mcrino we do rot possess any one repre-
sentative sheep. We are vainly trying to
acclmate and establish English races of
sheep, which themselves have no stability.
and are only kept up TO standard by intu-
>ions of new blood, and by the constant IF.
forts of old and sklltul breeders We inn
port costly sheep only to see them run
down, pine and die off. while We insist up
on keeping them pure. When we cross
them upon our native sheep we get hardy.
profitable grades, whose feeces of fair
combing wool weigh eight to ten pounds.
and whose carcases will dress twenty TO
twenty-five pounds to the quarter when
well fed and fatted. 1t would seem as
though it would be more profitable bust
ness for us to give up abortive attempts to
introduce foreign races and preserve them
pure, and to found upon some or one of
them, along with our own hardy native va
rieties, breeds of native sheep which should
supply our wants for both wool and NUT
ton 1t is a mistake for us to contine our
efforts to one breed We need variety
of grades of wool. There are local differ
ences in soil and climate which are favor
able for large variety of sheep, from the
small, delicately-tlavorcd mutton, which
might be produced upon the salt marshes
or the mountains of the East, the tender
and juicy mutton Of a large variety which
should inhabit the great western plains,
and produce the bulk of our clothing wool
up to the heavy bodied long-wools, which
should take the place of the Lincolns or
the Cotswolds. In the comparatively small
area of Great Britain there are a score or
more of distinct varieties or breeds of sheep
each of which is paramount in its own To-
cality, and which include the small Welsh
sheep, whose small quarter of four to six
pounds is unsurpassed for flavor, up to the
huge Lincoln which lifts the scale at $50 to
nearly 400 pounds. All these breeds have
been built up, or have grown by force of
circumstances, and circumstances are now
favorable for the commencement of such
growths in America, -New Yoh Times.

CONGRESS-.

Tho time is not far distant when the
Democrats of this (XXth) Congression-
al district will be called upon to. select
a standard bearer, For twenty years,
Ciesrfold was chucked into a Radical
district, as black ~ midnight, and only
through the cfiortsbf Senator Wallace,
has our county been rescued and put
into district decidedly Democratic.
Notwithstanding this rare opportunity
of sending a Democrat to Congress, wo
have not yet learned that we have any
aspirantsi in this county for the position,
although all the other counties, except
Elk, seem to be prepared for the can.
vass. Clinton county presents with
great unanimity the name Of L. A.
Mackey, Esq, who led the forlorn
hope for the same position in 1868.
Centre, it is believed, will put forward
9, I. Alexander, Esq, while Union will
undoubtedly instruct for Hon. John
Walls, and Mifflin will put in her claims
through Mr.. Reed, Of that county
Personally, We know all these gentle
man, and can say that they fill the
Jeffersonian measure--honest and COM
pctent-and either will be an improve
mon. on the Representative we have
had for the past twelve years. Neither
of them is as ignorant as Scofeld, who
confessed that he was not Frenchman
enough to know what Credit Mobilier
meant, yet Oakes Ames and other Radi-
cal celebrities stated under oath that
heboughtthc stock as readily as "Erie," F."
or Iake Shore" Scofeld is dema-
gogue of no slight pretensions, and it
behooves every Democrat to put forth
his best efforts to send Democrat to
Washington, so that we may not be
misrcpresented in the future. Na D

UNFORTUNATELY TRUE.-We call the
attention of our readers particularly to
an article copied from the New York
Sun. entitled, gthe Administration and
the press The recent purchase, by
the corrupt Washington ring of all the
newspapers in that city, and the pur-
chase of the Philadelphia Press and the
Chronicle by the addition, division and
silence" ring of that city, closes out
the last newspaper there which has
heretofore feebly assailed corruptionin
high places, Washington and Phila-
delphia are to-day, without single
journal courageous enough TO assail
public robbers and expose the rascals
who are robbing the people of their
hard earnings. This is exceedingly
humiliating to us, but there is no use
in trying to conceal the fact. Editors
in our large cities are becoming nearly
as unstable and corrupt as Attorney
General Williams and his band of free.
hooters.

THE INDEPENDENTS.

BY request we last week published
the proceedings of the so-cailed inde-
pendent Democratic Convention, which
met at Curwensville on the 9TH, under
the call of Mr. '1lenry Kerns, Chair
man" This is the first appearance OF
the disorganizing element this year
1t seems to be under the auspices Of
the same gentlemen who led it last fall.
II met at the same place, and takes
counsel from the same sources. The
ostensible reason for disorganizationin
1873 was fraud in our nominations and
our vicious system of making them
What are the reasons in 1874 for re-
newing the crusade against the Demo
cratic party What justification have
these gentlemen for their action at
this time? We have no ticket in the
field. nor can we have before the mid
die of September. 1t cannot therefore
be dissatisfaction with the ticket, nor
is it because of the system. That has
been changed, and new one, fair and
Just, adopted Besides all who claim
to be Democrats have been invited by
the Chairman of the regular Demo
cratic County Committee to take part
in the preliminary action of the party,
and his last call explicitly recognized
the right Of those who wished to act
with the party IN the future, to join in
and help correct the evils complained
Of Would il not have been wise and
prudent for these gentlemen to have
awaited the action of the regular nomi-
mating convention Or do the "inde-
pendent leaders fear the nomination
of particular candidates? a.? Again, why

for victory, instead Of fostering ambi-

practice what they preach. If they
are Democrats let them act like Demo
Gratis, and thereby divest themselves
of the charge of hypocrisy.
