The following are a few of the many testimonials the Proprietors are constantly receiving, furnishing a convincing proof of the superiority of their Machines ;- From " Ihe Ararat Advertiser." 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 large scale, the Sewing Machine has effected (only to one class of work, it is true) on a scale also. What it has aebie\ed for women whose livelihood is earned by the needle, such as sempstresses, there needs no dissertation to prove. Tluse machine?, Jioweyi-r, have been of equal service in puvate families, saving not only hours but days of wearying and monotonous work. Of Sewing Machines there are several varieties, differing slightlv in their construction, but all effect ng, more or less, the object for which they are designed, that of saving iabor. So far as we have b.sen able to lean., the machines patented by Grover and baker appear to bo the simplest, most economical, and most eiiicitnt; and since Mr Chad wick has been appointed agent here a large mniibfT of thou* machines have been disposed of in this town and district. Still, however, opinions dilf'er as to which of the several varieties of Sewing Machines h realiy the most useful, ami we generally find that our lady friencU declare in favour of that machine ?o which they have become accustomed, aii agreeing, nevertheless, that the invention to them has indeed proved a boon. From "The Pleasant Creek Chronicle." The efficacy and general excellence of Grover ami JBuker's Elastic-Stitch Family Ssewing Machines have been signally tested by a purchaser connected with the ouiceoftln journal. In over}' respect it has answered the account given in the advertisement of lis capabilities—the hemroii g, stitching, and feiling being uncommonly good. For embroiuery a better machine could not befound ; and iu that respect it may take precedence or aii other machines very easily. Altogether the Grover aud Baker dewing Machine is an indispensable aid in the domestic economy of any nouse-liold, and thoseJ who purchase it will not be disappointed. TEE WAR IN EUROPE.
