Sewing Machines
Wherever exhibited in honorable competition,
the Willcox A Qibbs Improved Family Sewing
M - chine have been awarded the Highest Pbk
mhjms of Gold or Silver Medals, or of Diplomas.
The most remarVable Sewing Machine contest
on record latoly occurred at Island Park, New
York. Here, each machine on trial was re
quired to demonstrate, by practical tests, the
various "points" upon which superiority was
claimed.
The result of the contest was, that the Will
cox & Oibbs won the victory and the prize, by
ully sustaining every claim presented.
1.1st of Points on tvlilch Superiority waf
Claimed for the Wlllcox is, Glbbs Ma

2. It is the least liable to get out of order.

8. It has the best device to prevont the wheel
running backward. Claim sustained.
9. It requires loss mechanical skill to operate
11. Sustained.
10. It requires less time and instruction to
learn to use it. ihis'ained.
11. It is the most certain and reliable in
operation. Sustained
Notk. It is a fact worthy of remark, that
daring the entire trial which continued without
intermission for nearly seven hours -not a
stitch was missed, nor the thread once
broken, nor a needle broken or bent, by
the Willcox & Gibbs machine. No kind of
work was attempted to be done on it that
was not accomplished, and done in a perfect
and workmanlike manner; and no effort was
made on it that was not entirely successful.
12. Its needle is the shortest. Sustained.
13. The needle is also straight, and less liable
to be broken than one curved. Sustained.
14. It is bevelled, and therefore stronger thau
one with a small shank. Sustained.
16. The needle is secured in its place by a
patented device, which renders it self-adjusting,
so that neither skill nor experience is necessary
in setting it. Sustained,
16. It uses but one thread, and thus avoids
the necessity of complicated machinery, which
is required for two threadB. Sustained,
17. It sews directly from the spool, thus
making it unnecessary to rewind the thread aud
. adjust it in the shuttle. Sustained, ,
18. It makes (lie " Willcox Gibbs" or "twisted
' I oop-atitohn& stitch original with this machine,
and made by no other which, for general pur
poses, is superior to the double-thread "lock.'
Sustained.
Note. The trial upon this claim was very
thorough, and the practical tests minute and
accurate. Each Machine was required to use
thread from the same spool, make the stitch of
the same length, and perform the test-work on
the same piece of goods, with the lines of sew
. ins side by side. The results were all decisive
and in every test in lavor of the Willcox & Glbb
. Machine. .
19. Its seam has the peculiar advantage of
being readily taken out when it is desirable
while it is less liable to rip, n use or wear, than
the lock-stitch. Sustained,
20. The seam is more elastic and stronger
than the lock-stitch. Sustained,
21. The seam is also the most even and beau-
tiful. Sustained,
22. The Beam is always self-fastened, thus
. avoiding the necessity of a "reversible feed," or
any other complicated device for that purpose.
Sustained. : .
23. Its tension is more simple and more easily
adjusted. Sustained.
21. It will do a greater variety of work. &us
tained, . . .
25. The machine is more easily and speedily
changed from one kind of work to another.
' Sustained,
26. More work can be done with it in a given
time, Sustained, 1
27. It does beautiful embroidery. Sustained.
28. It has a shield to the wheel. Sustained
29. The needle being carried in a perpendicu
lar bar, it has important advantages over
machines with curved needles attached directly
to the needle-arm, one of which is its non
liability to derangement from alterations of
temperature. Sustained,
- 30. In consequence of the shorter sweep of the
needle, there is much less wear of the thread
rom its vibrating through the nee ale's eye in
the act of sewing. Sustained.
81. A smaller needle can be used with the
same size of thread, which adds to the strength
and beauty of the Beam, especially on linen and
other hard goods. Sustained,
22. It has the best hemmers. Sustained,
33. It has the best feller. Sus Mined. ,
It. It has the best braider. Su$:ained.
3S, It has the best belt, Sustain!.

Till-Tappkb. Charles Brady made a
very unsuccessful at'emot yesterday afternoon to
obtain the greenbacks reposing in the money-drawer
or a grocery store at the oorner of Sbackamaxon and
Kichmond streets, it appears that Charley, who is
a youm oi some sixteen summers, nai naa nis edu
cation sadly neglected, and having no very elearly
deiliied ideas npon the subject of meum and tuum,
enteied the store, and watching his opportunity,
when, as he thought, be was unobsotved, be got be
hind to counter and opened the said money-diawer.
The owner ot the store caught him in the aot, and
made a grab for him, but be was too limber. H
ran out, and was captured by Offloer Grant, just as he
had reached Marlborough street. He was held in
600 boil by Alderman Clouds, before whom he hid
a bearing.
Larcekyof Lead. Edward Baker and
Charles Card were arrested yesterday morning, by
the harbor police, lor stoaling lead from the ship
Pontiac, which had been discharging cargo at the
toot of Kace street wharf. Baker has a small boat
in which be plies up and down the liver. Card is a
mate of the vessel from which the lead is said to
have been stolen. After the cargo had been de
livered to the consignees, there wera two pigs of
lead found to be short. As the amount called for in
the invoice had been put aboard, the theft was im
mediately suspected, and the matter pnt into tae
bands of the polioe, with the above result. Baker
and Card both had a bearing before Alderman
Poland, and were nela in 0800 bail eaoh to answer
the charge ol larceny. .
An Evil That Needs Correction.
There are always to be found in large cities persons
who, to pander to the gross and prurient ta-tles of
tho vulgar, will issue works that appeal to the baser
passions. As a people, we do not see so much of
ibis thing here as may bo seen in the older European
cities. The po'ice frequently make arrests of per
sons who sell these filthy books, pictures, and
pamphlet eponly, but there are numbers who sell
tbom secretly, that the polioe never can reaoli. Yes
terday morning a man named George Anderson vss
arrested at Third and Race streets, whilst selling
ol scene pictures He was taken before Aldermin
Williams, and was held in $500 bail to answer tor
the olltnee.
BWarnwgto Drivers of Coat. Carts.
John O'Neill, who Is employed as a driver of a coal
cart by a company in this city, got into a difficulty
yesterday afternoon, owing to his obMinacy. He
bad taken load of coal to a bouse at Ninth and
Carpenter streets, and in spite ot the expostulations
ot the persons who happened to be in the neighbor
hood, he persisted in dumping his load upon the
pavement, obstructing the travel along the street.
as there is an ordinance against such aotion, the
carter vtas arrestea ana laxen noiore Alderman rot
tinger. Alter hearing the faots of tho case, the
driver was mulcted in the sum ot $5, as a ponalty
lor his oontnmaoy, and was dismissed a wiser man,

Tbe Druo Business. There is no business of
bianch ot trade in which skill, knowledge, aud en
t rprise are more essential, than in the drug bosi-his-;
nor is there any branch of human industry in
which more cloria auiam and imposture prevail. It
is thtreiore to tlie interest ot the public caretully to
discriminate between tbe true and the false druggist.
This can easily be done bv a simple praotioal aouli-
cation of that rule which is as true in matters of
business, as morals "by their truits tor results) you
sba'l know them." Judged by this rule, Helmbold
is a true druggist, aud those well-known medicines
'known as "Uelmbold' Preparation" are legitimate
remedies. These latter bave been belore the public
prominently for many years, and have been almokt
universally successful; tbe Kxtraotot Buobn espe
cially, has secured the publio confidence. For its
appropiiate diseases it is without a rival. The cer
tificates to its usefulness embrace many thousands
ol names ; but the faot thai aitor the trial of so many
years, Helmbold's Preparations are in as great a
demand as ever, or even greater, is the best possible
prool ol their legitimate merit.
