TnE QUEEN OF ALL SEWING MAcmISEs.

THE QUEEN OF ALL SEWING MACHINE
In speaking Of the merits Of the Wilson
shuttle sewing machine, It is sufficient for us
to say that We think the invention Of this ma
chine marks one of the most important eras
in the history OF this country; and when We
consider the influence il has upon the social
wcll.being OF the masses, II is difficult 20 con
eeive Of an invention of more importance.
II has q beautiful, noiseless movement II
makes the genuine "lock.sti:ch alike on
both sides, and does tn perfection all kinds
Of plain and hue sewing; IL needs no com
mendation; its rapid sales, the increasing
demand, and the many iattering testimonials
from those who have used il, is sufficient
proof of its merits. The want Of a seSing
machine is deeply felt in every household
aud as the Wilson shuttle sewing machine
ON account Of It's extreme simplicity aud less
cost Of manufacture, is sold AT y much lower
price than all other hrst-clas> machines, il is
meeting with the extensive patronage that
it 80 justly deserves. Machines will he de

In Texas they call the fierce, cold
wind which comes up suddenly from the
north, chilling man and beast TO the
bone, a d" norther." The day may be
very pleasant, the mercury standing at
fifty or sixty; suddenly there are few
cold puifs from the north, then brisk
breeze, and then gale which lasts from
thirty to seventy hours In four or five
hours the mercury falls from the mark Of
the pleasant temperate to within ten
degrees Of nero.
An emigrant from North Carolina was
much troubled about these nortbcrs,"
which he had heard Of, but never felt
lie persisted in calling them northern
ers," much to the amusement Of the
Texans.
On the Western plains there is a
similar wind, which, when accompanied
by snow, Is called a blizzard" Its n
terrible wind tobc caught out in. In an
hour or two the snow is piled in drifts,
the landmarks are covered, and the cold
is far below the freezing-point Ex-
posture is almost certain death. The fol-
lowing incident is told Of remarkable
experience in one Of these awful "bliz-
Yards" Our readers doubtless know
that il is much warmer under the snow
than above IL:
An Indian and his squaw were caught
out in the storm while journeying from
Fort Randall to the Fort Thompson
Agency, and becoming bewildered, tool
refuge in a small ravinc. They wrapped
their blankets about them, and sat dowr
under the bank. The snow soon covered
them, but the Indian kept hole through
the rapidly forming drift with his gun
which he would poke up occasionally
They remained there all night, aud TIN
drift became 80 high in the meantime
that he was obliged to splice the ramrc'
to the end of his rifle in order To reach t
the top and keep up ventilation.
