will undoubtedly be exhaoUed by them to
the highest positions in their gift.

The Sunny South "This book is com

interesting style of a narrative, embodying
the most romantic features ol social life on
different kii.d ol plantations. We can bear
testimony, from our own personal observa
tion of similar scene" in the Sou:h,lo their
truthfulness as here depicted. They are
portrayed in a vivid, interesting style, and
we would like to see the took in the hands
of thousand!) of deceived people, who have
no personal knowledge either ol Southern
ers or Southern life, except what they have
gained from partizau journals, or thoe
who intentionally have written ic- deceive."
Daily Republican, Buffalo, N. Y.
The Sunny South ."This volt ma is in
the foim of letters. They give, so far as
we can judge, faithful piciu res of Southern
lile, and are penned without prejudice.
They present scenes quite different from an
"Ur.cle Tom's Cabin,' the pictures presen
ted here are quite graphic, and we think
the portraits painted are in very nearly nat
ural colors.' Boston Daily Bee.
The Sunny South "XTe have rarely peep
ed wiihiu the covers of a more appetizing
volume. Although not intended as an an
swer io the loul untruths in the Uncle Tom
trash of the last ten vears, it nevertheless
does unmercifully hurl back to their source
all lie of such a nature, and we are glad
to believe that the bonk will bf read in
thousands of northern homas. The sooth
also should .ake to it benignantly for inde
pendent of its truthfulness and integrity it
t is one of the liveliest and mot entertaining

The Sunny South "This is a captivating

RAYMOND'S FAMILY
S E W I M G MACHINE!;
PATENTED MARCH 9, 1858. '
PRICK flO K4CII.
Yf ESSRS. ZUPPINGER & ROBBINS, of
Bloomsburg, having purchased Ihe ex
clusive risht of the above valuable Impro
ved Chear Patent Sewing Machine, fori
the County of Columbia, will be happy to
supply their friends. with the article lor the
accommodafiorrof themselves and families.
The following are some of the superior
advantages ibis implement possesses, viz:
1. It sews from 400 to 600 light stitches
per minute.
2. Double thread Machines ate from the
more complicated character of iheir mech
anism invariably managed and tl.readed
wiih more or less difficulty ; not so with
RAYMOND'S, a child can manage it in two
hours, and it is threaded easier ihao a com
mnn needle.
3. One of the most valuable features of
this Machine, is Ihe emallness and tbe
compactness of its mechanism.
4. It can be attached to a board, table or
stand, in operating order, and removed in
lt-sn than half a minute.
5. It greatly economizes the thread, and
yet produces a seam, sufficiently strong for
any work tor which it is intended, a qual
ification not known to all kinds of Sewing
Machines.
6. No human hand is capable of produ
cing a seam so regular and systematic
The team is so strong if well done, that Ihe
st.-ongei-t material will tear before the
seam will give way.
7. Among the array of Pa'ent Sewing
Machines, there are none so cheap and
durable as Raymond's Patent, , but no Ma
chine is adapted to all kinds ol work as
expe'ience has proven. There are perhaps
none so realy useful, doing such a variety
of wore for the immediate use of the fam
ily circle, and at such a moderate price as
RAYMONDS PATENT.
8. The operator can shape his seam just
as he pleases, waves, leaves and flowers,
etc, can be represented or imitated.
9. It is particularly ad a plea to all kinds
of stitchicg such as gentlemen's shirts,
bosoms, ristbands, collars, etc., and all
kinds of ladies' sewing, including Silks,
lawns, delaines, calicoes, dosters, etc. ex
cepting for men's heavy wear, this Machine
is rather too light ot construction.
10. Bui we all admit, that the advantage
to health, and principally to the vision or
eyesight, i no deed by the use of Sewing
Machines, surpasses infinitely all oiher ad
vantages. 11. This Machine fastens the seam al
ways itself, but if the operator wishes it
unlastetipd or open, there is a way tor it
too, thus you can have il fastened or not,
asOU please, which is, sometimes, espe
cially for beginners, a very favorable cir
cumstance. f the seam is led unfastened
jou can draw il out in three seconds and
cave the thread.
For sale by ihe undersigned, at their re
spective residences, in B!oom!butg who
will put the Machine in operation ami give
all necessary instruction.
