Miscellaneous. _ HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub- He attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in honsehold industry. That thia Machine h«.s made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed thit it is only necossary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any petson to appre ciate its advantages In thft family over every other one in use. What U.ese advantages are claimed to be wo propose biiefly to ttate, that a comparison may be drawn hetween the Grdver and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only aeam formed by a Sewing Mtchine in which each stitch ia independently locked, and without dependanco upon the other stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth Btitch without injury to the S"sm in weir. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Biker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle fom three to five times for the under thread. A scam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Sewing Machine and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be vmshed and stretched under the iron 3. The Machine Js adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewing each equally well, and require no adjustment for any kind of sewing other than the adaption of ntedlts a»d thread, and by reason of its simplicity, of construction and easb of management it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the etam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are respecifu.lv requested to make enquiries of those who have them in U3e, ks to their tuperlor merits over any other Loci Stitch Machine made. Ni idles.Parts, Cotton, Silk, «fee, always on hand. " The following testimonials are published as samples of the many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by others, to that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Batter's S.M.

" Jim's hurry would cot brook delay, ' So like a shot ho sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road fur home once morei When half way back ho met poor Joe, Walking along but very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus question'd him: " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free While I, with blisters on each toe, ' Havo fiva-and-twenty miles to go ?" < : Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hbmus always makes my shoes.
