AMERICAN MEc tissues' ANNIVERSARY
££811: On last Saturday evening the 23rd
Anniversary of Conestoga Council, No. 8, 0.
U. A. M., was celebrated at Eagle Hall, in
this city. The Council and a number of
invited guests from Philadelphia, Harrisburg
and other localities, met at the new Hall,
Inquirer building, and after a brief session, at
9 o'clock, proceeded, with music, to the place
bountifully provided with good things for the
inner mechanic. All the arrangements were
perfect, and reflect much credit upon the
committee—Messrs. J. K. Snyder, William
T. Wylie, M. M. Glider, John A. Trissler and
E. E. Snyder.
The supper being duly disposed of, the
Council was called to order by the Chairman,
J. K. Snyder, who read letters from James
M. Galely, V. C., of the National Council,
John Kreider, S. C. Treasurer and others,
who had been invited to participate. Mr.
Snyder announced regular toasts next in
order. The first toast—The National Coun
cil—was responded to by E. H. Rauch. He
referred to some highly important work now
under consideration by the National Council,
the only power clothed with authority to alter,
change or amend Constitution and forms gov
erning the Order ; that efforts are being made
to accomplish more fully the designs of the
Order and carry out its fundamental princi
ples yet more successfully. The Order was
ho might say, only in its infancy, yet, during
the last few years its prosperity was unparal
leled in the history of beneficial institutions of
its kind. The war, prejudice and hate of its
principles, combined in checking, for a while,
the growth of the organization, but that a
bright future is immediately before us. He
referred to the motto of the Order—Honesty,
Industry and Sobriety, and felt very happy
that the last principle had been so faithfully
and consistently adhered to in the prepara
tions for the present festival.
The second toast—The State Council of
Pennsylvania—was responded to by Ex-State
Councillor, John Serner, of Harrisburg. Ho
gave a short exposition of the objects and prin
ciples of the Order, and referred to some of its
leading characteristics in a clear and forcible
manner. By special request lie concluded
with a song—the " Deitsher Gentleman," the
effect of which operated as a ;most effective
settler of every man's bountiful supper. It
was the treat of the evening.
The Subordinate Councils of the Order—was
responded to by Ex-C. Stewart A. Wylie, who
referred to the rapid increase of the Order
everywhere ; the gradual disappearance of
prejudice and hate. 'With the return of peace
came the growth and prosperity which the
Order now enjoys. The Order knows no sect,
and tolerates no political partisanship within
its Councils. When danger threatened the
country, there went strong men with willing
hearts from our ranks to defend our national
ity. With charity, humanity and true benev
olence, we are the peers of any other Order in
the laud.
Our Native Land, her Laws and Liberties—
was responded to by Major A. C. Reincehl, in
an appropriate and happy manner, quoting
the well-known lines from Sir Walter Scott :
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who newer to hlmAelf hath said,
This is my own, my native land "'
He concluded by referring to the glorious
part which the American Mechanics took in
defense l pf the Laws and Liberties of the Land.
The Laboring Man—responded to by Ex-C.,
M. S. Bower, of Harrisburg, and Old Fredonia,
No. 22, by William Dixie, of Philadelphia, by
singing the Star Spangled Banner, with very
good effect. A number of toasts not on the
programme were also responded to, including
one by Ex-State Councillor, E. E. Snyder, one
of the first and ablest men of which the Order
can boast.
Conestoga Council, No. 8, the first branch
of the Order instituted beyond the litnits of
Philadelphia, twenty-three years ago, was
formed by eight charter members. Of these,
two only are now members of the Order—Geo.
W. Reichenbach, yet a member of No. 8, and
residing at York, and E. H. Rauch, of this
city, and now a member of Reading Council,
No. 46. Of these two survivors the latter
only enjoyed the pleasure and satisfaction of
participating in the festival.

ezeOUlt NEW OFFICE
To substantiate the merit
so universally accorded to Wheeler & Wilson's
Sewing Machines, and at the same time tejusti
fy our claims to the favor of the citizens of
Lancaster County, we will present to their
attention a few stronefacts : First—Wo assert
(undeniably) that THE ONLY GOLD MEDAL
awarded at the Paris Exposition for Sowing
Machines for family purposes, was awarded to
the WHEELER & WILSON after a fair trial be
fore competent judges, (appointed by the Em
peror Napoleon,) whose duty it was to deal
impartially in the performance of their com
mission :
COMMISSION iIIIPBRIAILB
CnAur-DE-MAus, 6th July lB6 ' . S
Mr. R. Hunting, leg Regent Street, London.
DRAB. SiR I—Replying to your inquiry, I beg
leave to state, that the ONLY GOLD KEMAL
for the manufacture and perfection of Sewing
Machines, was awarded to Messrs. Williston &
Witsos, of New York.
Yours Respectfully,
HENRY F. Q. D , ALIGNY,
Reviser of the International Jury
and Reporter o/ the same.
DEPARTMENT Or STATE, 0
Washington, May, 1888.
To Wheeler & of New York.
ST BE :—The Department has received one Gold
Medal, awarded to your firm for Sewing Ma
chines, at the Paris Universal Exposition, of
1867. WM. H. SEWARD,
Secretory of Riau.
Scoond—We assert to the positive sale of the
LARGEST NUMBEE OF SEWING MACHINES
for Family Use of any Manufacturing Company
in the country (all combined).
THE WHEELER & WILSON IS NEC I.UsITY..
LY A FAMILY SEWING MACHINE, and as
snob, it has, in defiance of all competition,
whether it be manly and honorable, or ungen.
tlemanly and ignorantly discourteous, made its
way, held ita own; and established the well•
merited reputation so universally extended to
the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine, Nor Is
it necessary in introducing the W heeler & Wil•
son to the citizens of Lancaster, that we should
speak in any way disparagingly of others. We
claim to have A FIRST CLASS SEWING MA•
CHINE, complete, (with no single extra at•
tachments to buy after purchasing,) the beet lu
use for family work.
In taking into consideration the unequalled
popularity of this wonderful machine and its
immense sale, it should be remembered that we
have derived no benefit whatever from the sale
of manufacturing =Waive. Withdraw the
heavy machines from the Miles of the different
Companies, atiß where do they stand 1 Far be
hind the Wheeler & Wilson Co., who make the
Family Sewing Machine a speciality. The
Company's manufacturing premises at Bridge_
port., Conn., occupy a space of 5 acres, enclosing
an entire quadrangle, with a front on the N. Y.
&N. IL Railroad side of a quarter eta mile less
15 feet, filled with costly machinery.
Capital Employed, over ir2,000,000.
Men Employed,
Machines, 1 )aily Product, See
Number in Use, 400,000.
in excess of any other, 120,000 to 200,000.
In other words,this Manufactory has added to
the industrial world the effective force of 1,700,-
000 seamstresses, and is swelling that immense
number by adding 2,000 per day.
It has even conquered British prejudice.
Charles Dickens himself has made it the sub
ject of a timely turned article in "Once a Week,"
and the London Times, in an exhaustive two
column and a half editorial, covering the whole
subject of Sewing Machines, awards the highest
merits of praise to the WHEELER Si. WILSON,
as the one best calculated for household work.
IL is on this mission of labor-saving in all
parts of the world, London, St. Petersburg,
Madrid. Constantinople, Calcutta, Cape Town,
&c. Its agents are everywhere throughout the
habitable globe, wherever flibrkis are sown in
to human apparel.
We respectfully claim attention, and cordial
ly invite the citizens of Lancaster county to vis
it oar Office, inspect the Machine, examine the
samples of the work performed, and compare
them with others. We willingly abide the re
sult.

BEST'S FRUIT TREE INVIGORATiqi.
AND INsECT DESTROYER
it is the most useful combination of ingre
dients ever known for Fruit, and the evidence
we can produce from men of the highest stand
ing in society of the benefits to be derived from
its use in Fruit Trees, Vines, Wheat, Corn, Flow
ers, and all kinds of Vegetation, cannot be
doubted by any honest man. When applied to
trees, it penetrates every pore, destroying the
worm in the heart of the tree, and by connect
ing with the mineral substance of the earth,
destroys the cause and prevents the creation of
any destructive insects. It will prevent Curcu
lie from slinging the plum, and every person
using it will have sound plums. It will kill the
peach grub, and make peach trees bear healthy
fruit. It will prevent dry-rot in grapes. It
swells the tree, causing the old bark to peel oft
from the body, while a beautiful new green
bark takes its place. It will kill potato bugs
and prevents potn to rot. It will prevent weavek,
mill-dew, or rust in wheat, and prevent the fly
from touching it. It destroys the cut-worm in
corn—in tact, it will kill any kind of insects that
attack Fruit Trees and cause all Fruit Trees to
bear sound fruit. It is now extensively need in
the Western States. and those who have used it
would not be without it, for a thousand times
its cost. It has been used in the southern parts
of lterks County,this State, on grain, trees, Soc.,
and there has not been a single failure. Any
person wishing to see its effect upon growing
grain and fruit, ca n be gratified by calling on tt6,
or by writing, and we will refer them to per
sons (with residence) who are using it. We
warrant it to do Just what we claim for it. To
be used as soon as the frost is out of the ground.
