The Wertheim Sewjng Machines have long had a good reputation as a sterling article in which every improvement and perfection up to date is embodied, and the receipt a short time back by Messrs Grace, Clarke & Co., of Manners St., Wellington, through their Head Office, of the following letter is an eloquent testimony of an actupl test. Jt is from Messrs Wilson and Mayor, Clothing Manufacturers, Great King St., Dunedin, and reads as follows:—"We have nearly thirty Sewing Machines of different makes in daily use in our workrooms, and after having had 20 years' home and colonial experience, we have the utmost confidence in saying that the Wertheim Sowing Machine far surpasses all others, and is the best for all kinds of work, either for factory or family use. It works lighter, runs at greater speed, is equally suitable for sewing heavy ot light materials, and, without doubt, is the most perfect machine for general work we have ever used. A ftor careful consideration we have decided to replace all our old machines with Wertheim's, therefore kjndly send us twelve of your Medium machines, and do us the kind* ness to remove those of other makers." dibson E. Turton, at one time one ot the leading lawyeis in Dunedin, was found dead in a yard at the rear of the Victorian Restaurant, Wellington, yesterday morning. The deceased was 54 years of age, and had married a daughter of the late Hon. J. B. Bath« gate, He was at one time considered one of the smartest young lawyers in the colony. Unfortunately, he gavi way to intemperance, and his descent in the social soale was rapid. He left Dunedin ruined as the result of his own folly, and for seme years before his death he had resided in Sydney and various parts of this colony earning a precarious livelihood by executing odd jobs in various legal establishments. At one time he lived in Gisborne, and while there, we believe, ha joined the Salvaion Army, an! conducted himself with propriety for a while, The craving for alcohol was, however, ao great that he soon fell again. He had been in Wellington for a few weeks only.-
