Sewing; Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED DINGER QEWLNG IVTACHINE SEWS THE EINKST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. for the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of excellence to these popular Machines. Some of the advantages are as follow :- 1. It enables the inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine while learning the treadle action. 2. If the learner starts the treadlo motion in the wrong direction, it will not work the Machine, but as soon is it takes the right direction it puts the Machine in motion. 3. When winding shuttle-bobbins the action of the Machine is suspended, preventing disarrangements of the threads and unnecessary wear. This Mechanical principle on which Singer's Machines are built can hardly be improved, and as a proof of this it need only be said that it is about the only Machine imitators have endeavored to copy, not only in America, but also in Great Britain and the Continent of Europe. The legal proceedings against Kimball and Morton, Newton Wilson and Co., and Frister and Rossman, are well-known. The case of Newton and Wilson was carried before the Houpe of Lords. The Singer Co. won. The action against Frister and Rossman (a German firm), occupied the Superior Courts seventeen days last year. The decision was altogether in favor of the Singer Company. Since that trial no Sewing Machine Manufacturers or Dealers are permitted to use the name " Singer " in connection with the style, ma.c, or sale of any Machine except those of the Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAKE. BEWARE OF PERSONS who having no good trade repute of their own, use our name " SINGER," to palm ofE Counterfeit Machines of inferior Construction and Manufacture, Every SINGERIffiACHINE has the Company's name printed upon the Ann, and impressed upon the Brass T) ade-mark Plate. The Singer Manufacturing Machineß are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years. ACCESSORIES GIVEN WITH EACH MACHINE.

KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN O EWING "jyTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in tho world " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowlbs, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the construction render it well worth examining. As a matter of fact tho horizontal feed is common to many machines, and the term has therefore no signilication of importance. But in tho White machine there is this marked improvement on many other varieties—that tho feed plate acts on either side of tho needle. In other words, the work is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, and it enables the operator to sew along the right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height abovo tbe table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amouut of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprinc. A large mass of material could therefore bo passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without tho remotest chance of n jury. The ontire mechanism is of tho moßt simplo character, and so little friction is there that one may run tho machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from tho driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. Ono specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. 1 here are no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly the case ; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. Tho tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can bo obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, General Merchant hastings street, Napibr.
