THE UNITED AMERICAN MECHANICS :
The State Council of Pennsylvania, held its
regular semi-annual session at I Earrisburg, on
Friday last. About one hundred Councils
were represented and the proceedings were
interesting. In the evening a complimentary
banquet was given to the members of the State
Council by the subordinate Councils of Har
risburg, at t he State Capitol I Intel, over which
Governor Geary presided. After the cloth
had been removed loud calls were made for
Governor Cleary, who responded in a very
neat and appropriate address welcoming the
State Council to the Capitol, and referred in
fitting terms to the origin and growth of the
Order. Addresses were made by Messrs.
Jenkins, A. C. Smith, E. H. _Rauch, S. A.
Wylie, E. E. Snyder, and others. Songs
were snug by - Messrs. Server and 'Barker.
Toasts were offered and responded to, and at
a late hour the company dispersed highly
pleased with the, incidents and festivities of
the occasion. The motto of the Order, " So
briety," was strictly observed, as all intoxi
cating drinks were entirely excluded.
Is there any boy in Chillicothe, whose name
is " Uli Damyer .."' We hear very loud calls
for him occasionally from the little boys who
congregate about the corners, and, particu
larly when a dispute arises concerning any
game in which they may chance to be engag
ed. We judge front the frequency of these
calls for him on occasions of this kind, that he
must be a little fellow of vast judgment and
wisdom, who is called upon to act as umpire.
We hope " Uli " will always appear prompt
ly hereafter, so that these good little boys
won't have to call him so often. The older
citizens of the place will f•el ptienlarly re
lieved if lie will only do so.-Ch Gazelle.
From the talk of the boys in the streets of
Lancaster, it is highly probable that " Uli "
has removed to this city. He is popular here,
and as much the subject of conversation as he
was in Chillicothe.

1. FAMILY SI:WINO MACHINE,
and as such, it has, in defiance of all competition,
whel her it be manly and honorable, or ungen
tlemanly and Ignorantly discourteous, made its
way, held its 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 best in
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 machines. Withdraw the
heavy machines from the sales)! b, e different
companies, and where do they stanch Far be
hind the Wheeler & Wilson Co., wbo make the
Family Sewing Machine a speolal ity. The
Company's manufacturing promises i Bridge
port, Conn„ occupy a space of 5 totes, enclosing
an entire quadrangle, with a frontont he N. Y.
& N. H. Railroad side of a quarter of a mile less
15 foot, filled with costly machinery.
Capital Employed, over 0'2,000,000.
Men Employed, 1,000.
Machines, 1.4i1y Product, 300
Number in Use, 400,000.
In excess of any other, leo,ooo to 200,001
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 finely 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
