CITY ITEMS. & Busy Scene.—The ebb and flow of otutomcn at the] great Sewing Maohlne Home of Grover k Baker, No. 730 Oheatnut atreet; below Eighth, all day pwterday, waa alike complimentary •etka aupaairffiaaWaea wklak and the intelligence and discrimination of our people. Their aalea, we learned last evening, during yesterday were very large, and aa a great proportion of the maohinea told were deaigned for Present* for the ensuing holidays, we have reaeon to believe that our advloe to purchasers, to “ get the best," ia being generally adopted. Besides offering to the publto a machine that has been acknowledged aa the beat by the foremoat judgea all over the world, the Grover k Baker Company this season took' the wise precaution of presenting a stock of their maohinea of suoh elegance, variety, and mag nitude as to be able to supply the entire demaud of the city, If necessary; and in order to still more en title themselves to the confidence and gratltudo of the public, they have made several Important re. duotlonsln the prices of their instruments. This machine is so simple in meohanism that for it to get out of order from use Is next to impossible, and ao easily kept in motion that a small child can operate It. The fact Is, it Is the machino for popular family use, and the great demand for it is therefore natural. The True Policy, in Buying Holiday PnxsßKTa, as In everything else, is"to buy suoh things as will give the most satisfaction; and let us ask, In this connection, Who ever heard a single complaint uttered against the famous Wheeler k Wilson Sewing Maohlne, sold at the popular brown atone establishment, 704 Chestnut street 1 No one, ■unless It was the complaint of an aspiring com petitor. The world, in faot, has issued its verdict on the Sewing-Machine question, and we can Imagine no greater folly at this late day than people spend ing their money for risky machines, when the same amount would procure them a Wheeler £c Wilson. The agent is now selling enqrmous quantities of these instruments for Holiday Presents, and the cry at 704 is “ still they come !’* Fine Pictures of Everett, by Gutk- Euhst.—We bad yesterday the pleasure of examin ing the capital new pictures of Hon. Edward 'Everett, just taken by F. Gutekunst, at his Photo • graphio gallery, 704 and 706 Arch street. The impe rial of Mr. Everett is the most life-like and charac teristic picture of that finished orator and statesman that has ever been published, and deserves a place in every parlor and library in the land. The cartes ii... ... mil r. t-‘. -J— -JI Ml. v —iO -11 „, almost most excellent, and may all be had at Ur, G.’s counters, together with a line assortment of Photograph Albums, at low prices. Immense Stock of Gentlemen’s WRAr- SBES.—Mr. John C. Arrison, Nos. 1 and 3 North Sixth street, first stores above Market, has been preparing for some weeks past to offer the largest, most elegant, and in all respects the most desirable ktoek of Gentlemen’s Wrappers in the United States, and the fruits of his enterprise are now visible at his store in the form of a princely stock ot these graoeful garments, than which nothing could be more appropriate or acceptable as a present for a gentleman." He is already selling hundreds of them for that purpose. Attractive Stock of Holiday Goods. —From the card, in another column, of Mr. John M. Finn, southeast corner Arch and Seventh streets, it will be seen that Ms stock possesses unusual at tractions for buyers of holiday presents. In a casual glance at his display yesterday, we were struck par ticularly with this feature of It. While the articles he offers are neither of them costly, they are, never theless, of that ornamental, useful, and acceptable Glass that always puts common-sense buyers at their esse. We would direct special attention to-day to his assortment of Fancy Colognes, elegant quality ateel-mounted Morocco Satchels; also, a less ex pensive article, suitable for girls’ dinner Batcheln, fine Brushes, Pocket Books, Hand-mirrors, &c. Mr. Finn’s establishment has become a great favorite With the shopping public. The Great Sewing " Machine Oil.— From information that we have received from the most reliable sources, we are warranted in-saying that the celebrated Sewing Machine Oil, sold by Messrs. Hulburt k Co., 240 Arch street (who are the sole agents for its sale in this market), is the best artiole for sewing maohlne purposes that has ever been introduced. The oil is put up In neat bottles for family use, an d hundreds ofladies who have tried It re commend their friends to do so, as nn other answers the purpose so satisfactorily in all respects. Messrs. Hulburt k Co.’s Signal OH for light houses, Bteam bouts, and other purposes are also rapidly taking precedence over all others. Hobs® Organized.— The prompt manner In whloh our law-makers at Washington have got to work this season is gratifying, as it will save time, and saving either time or money is a Virtue. It is for this reason mainly that we advise everybody in want of Goal to patronize the cele brated yard of W. W. Alter, 935 North Ninth street, as he sells the best Goal, and the most of it for the money, of any coal dealer in the eity. Fresh Etock of Pretty Goods.—The Jtopular house of George Grant, No, 610 Chestnut Street, presents the finest display of fashionable Scarffe, and every description of Gentlemen’s Fur nishing Goods, suitable for presents. Here, too, are made and sold the best-fitting Shirts in the World, out by the most skilful man in his profession in this city, Mr. John F. Taggart. The Season and its Wants.—Messrs. O. Somers A Son, No. 635 Chestnut street, under Jayne’s Hall, are better prepared than any other Clothing house in town to fit out gentlemen in ele gant .neat suits at the shortest notice. Their stook of ready-made garments is rich and varied, and their fine work, to order, is always made up with the ut most promptness. Prices moderate. Messrs. Wood & Cary, 725 Chestnut street, now display an immense stook of Velvet, Leather, JFelten, Silk, and Fancy|Bonnets, which they are selling at nearly cost. Fresh Euitly of Silver Flint Buck wheat.—Messrs. Davis & Richards, Arch and Tenth streets, have just received a fresh supply of the celebrated “ SilverFiint ” Buckwheat, the best in the world. Trimmed Ladies, Misses, and Children ; White Felt, Silk, Spanish, Eydal, Velvet, and others, now selling at the lowest prices, by Wood & Cary, 335 Chestnut street. Messrs. Davis & Richards, Arch and Tenth streets, have just received a rreah supply of Trout Spring Butter, a very superior article. Holiday Presents. — Wm. W.
