considering the problem of the future prosperi-
ty of the shoe trade 10 that city. They find
that the market for heavy pegged goods in the
Southwest, which has hitherto absorbed most
goods of this class manu- actured 10 Auburn, is
every year growing somewhat narrower. Com
mencina at New Orleans as great centre, a
bait of country to the South and West has
each year been striking into sswed work of
better finish The advancement of the people
in culture and refinement brings also demand
for finer grade of goods. The intellectual
growth of this portion of our country is, Curl
ously perhaps, but very plainly manifested liz
the shoe trade. To meet the exigency, several
manufacturers will next year make more sew
ed work, of a little better style and finish, and
have already commenced arrangements to that
end

From George Tickner Curtis, Esq, N. Y,
1 have used the Rsactionary Health. Lift
Machine for nearly year, and consider it the
best mode of taking special exercise that I
have ever known. Its effect in improving
appetite, digestion and sleep, is wonderful. 1t
is particularly valuable for the refreshment it
affords to all who work with their brains, in
whatever form of occupation; restoring at
once the nervous energy when exhausted by
labor or any other excitement. He who can
lie down to sound sleep after an exhausting
day of toll, and can rise to another day of
work, morally certain that he has the means of
securing another night of repose, has made an
important acquisition, which am persuaded is
within the reach of any one who will avail
himself of the benefits of this machine.

The most wonderful and marvellous Success
in cases where persons are sick or pining away
from condition of miserableness, that no one
knows what ails them, (proftable patients for
doctors) is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters.

it no until perfect health and strength is re-
stored. Whoever is afflicted in this way need
