Warranted the best in the world for Family Use ! Price Williiu the Reach of Every Family. PRICE $35. Hemmer, Feller, Binder A Tucking guage, combined, $5. THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish ed as the most reliable Machine in the market for family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the most respectable families in the Union. This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock Stitch," the only one made by machinery that meets all the requirements of Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied twice, so that every one is securely fastened and wholly independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that if the seam is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew ing must hold good while the fabric will wear. The machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sim plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor does it require adjustment more than the mere change of thread and needles to adopt it to the character of the work to be sewed—coarse or line as the case may be. It will sew gauze laces, and all varieties, and kinds of fab rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without changing either needles or thread equally well, and re turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction. No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as much. A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stiteh an swering all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse and tine work equally well, was the great desideratum of the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPKR, The stitch is beautiful, trong, and elastic, and will not rip in wear or in acci dental breaking a thread. Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We have a large list of references but will give the names of only a few ; MONROETOK, Pa., Feb. 27.19*50.

WE have the gratificatic n of announcing to onr frfends, customers, and the public, that we arc now pre pared to do ' HOOK BINDING, in all its Branches in the latest and most approved styles, and on the most favorable terms. Having secured, permanently, the services of Mr. H. C.

En" Customers should be particular to remember that the " Argus Bindery," is in the Argus Building, as form erly, (first building north of the Ward House) and is con nected with onr Book and Stationery Store and Printing Oflice, where all work should be delivered. CAUTION Wc are compelled injustice to ourselves, and our old customers, as well as to prevent an imposition upon the public generally, to caution them against a sort a concern, that falsely holds out to the public that it is the Argus Bindery. This//-and is practiced no doubt, with a hope of deluding the Public. Against this bold and deliberate attempt to deceive, they are hereby cau tioned. Particular attention paid to rc-Binding. All work guarranted. Ed' Country Produce of all kinds taken in payment for work.

Bookbinder and Artist. CAUTION-. " To be, or not to be— hat is the question ! Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous o]>position. Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink, And opposing, end them." THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver tising his Bindery to indulge in an nncalled for fling about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac count, the inference is that if the public bring their binding to tne, they arc in no danger of being defrauded. For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and lie has taken great pains t s itisfy the public 1 was the '"bi-t Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus will testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub lic ?'' If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has Been tle principal. But I refer to my work during that time as evidence that there has been no fraud practiced. Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery business, 1 have resumed business here on my own ac count, as J know of nothing which prevents me from fol lowing a legitimate and Lawful calling lor my support.— ! I shall endeavor by good work and attention" to my busi I ne - to give public satisfaction. MarcßlA. Jul IAN X F. B EXDEB, Binder. Ifiis(|uc|;um;t CoKtgiait Institute, TOIVANDA, BRADFORD CO., FA.

It is strongly recommended that students from abroad should board in the Institution, as better opportunities for advancement in study are thereby secured. Normal Department - Bpccial exercises are arranged without extra charge for those preparing themselves as Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. CO BURN, the able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools in the county, has kindly consented to organize tlie Tea cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued. He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects connected with Normal training. Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage to be present during the Fall term. Prof. Coburu's couneetion with tlie institution is not such as to in any way inteffere with the discharge of tlie regular duties of his oflice. No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu tion has hitherto eqjoyed, and in rendering it ruore wor thy of future patronage and-support.
