THE following abstract is taken from the Custom-house report of the Melbourne Journal of Cmnwcm, showirg the import value ot Sewing Machines imported by Victoria during me year 1872 from the two leading Sewing Machine Manufacturers in the world. The Machines imported from makers of less note are not taken into con sideration :—Stanford and Co., Agents for the " Singer" Manufacturing Company, 4710 cases, -value £24 ();,', ; Lonci and Co , Agents for the Whec.lei and •Wilson Company, 1035 chscs, value £BG'iG; showing difference in favor of the"bingei'" Machine ol <50sl cases value £10,300. This extraordinary succsss of the "Sinc+er" has been mainly achieved \y the Company's "New Family" Machine, which is universally acknowledged to be the most single to earn, the -easiest to work, unequalled for stren/th find beauty of stitcb, and the most complete and perfect in mechanism and accessories for every vsriety ot Domestic Sewing and Embroidery.

Every make of Machine, however fsr removed from excellence, professes to be better .han any other. The task of selecting a Sewing Maciine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if tie purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and his no other guide than the representation of various (balers Many people convinced of the advantage to be derived from using a Machine forneedlework do not yet possess one because amonc so many they are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and anEngineer allow ma to point out some of the alvantnges of these Machines. They will do all tha, any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, landing. Stitching, &c, &C, with a perfect stitch alikeon both sides. They are fitted with an iM'Kovbd iikbak, which prevents the Machine turnim the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, sod is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. T)ey are very simple, and will run for years withoit coating a shilling for repairs.

Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL ShouM[ bo used by Consumers in profcrcnco to aiiy ■ pine Petroleum Oil. Ist."lt is safe, having a tire test of never less than 125" Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acids an.l alkalies as the last process. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a , given amount of light. It .gives less trouble, because tho Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you ho has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense.
