From the “Ararat Advertiser.”— I There are few modern inventions of greater practical utility, or which cause so large a saving of time and labor, as the Sewing Machine. The benefit which the steam engine has secured to manual labor on a larges cale, the Sowing Machine has effected (only to one class of work, it is true) on a larges cale also.

I have much pleasure in forwarding a testimonial in favor of the Grover and Baker Sewing Machine, which I have had in use for the last four years. It is a most useful machine for a family, and very easily learnt. Josephine pannifex.
