Messrs. Dyer & Mclaughlin, agents
for the sale of the National Garment
Cutter, have shown the JOURNAL the
modHS ope1WndI by which any garment
may be cut to fit any size. The theory
OF the contrlvance, as we understand
it, is based mainly upon the homo
| geneity of the outlines of the human
form, but in cases where the symmetry
does not hold good, simple provisions
are made, which allow neat and easy
adjustment to irregularities. These
| gentlemen are canvassing the town
for the purpose of organizing Il class
to learn cutting by this device. They
come well recommended from various
neighboring towns. See advertise

cure strength which the nominal tick
ct did not inherently enjoy. Then
the lie was sprung i'll nominal quarters
that the genuine McCulloh ticket was
II "Chambers ticket" II report which
always alarms the super. sensitive and
sunbrlght spirits of the ring. With
'the world, the flesh and the devil"
against him, it is surprising that Nc
Culloh was not wiped out entirely.
But he made gallant fight, and would
have won against anybody and any
thing save DR.. Price and his pop
ularity.
