The benefit, which the steam engine has secured to manual labor on a larges’ ca e, the Sowing Machine has effected (only to one class of work, itistru ) on a larges cale also. What it has achieved for women whose livelihood is earne 1 by the needle, such as s mnstresses, milliners, Ac., there needs no dissertation to prove. These machines, however, have been of equal service in private families, saving not only hours '>ut days of wearying and monotonous work.

So far as we have h;en able to learn, th machines patented by Grover a> d Baker appear to be the simplest, most economica , and most efficient ; and si ce Mi Chadwick has been appointed agent here a large number of their machines have been disposed of in this town an : district.
