The Champion Brace, for sale by Frank
Kinsman, in its peculiar construction, has all
the advantages of suspenders and shoulder
braces combined. By means of the adjusta
ble back straps a gentle or powerful brace can
be obtained. The brace is worn without in
convenience, as it is attached to the pants at
the same points with ordinary suspenders.
Many of the patent braces are bard to be
worn; the person preferring to stoop. This
is easy and comfortable. For sale at Kins
man's.
We chronicle a sad accident at Gardiner.
On Monday afternoon, while Mr. Janies M.
Larrabee was moving some of his household
goods in a wagon, on West street, his little
son Jamie, about four years of age was play
ing with a bureau in a wagon, when it become
overturned and fell to the ground upon him,
causing internal injuries of the bowels. Af
ter experiencing severe pain for about four
hours, the little fellow was relieved by death.
The hotels are already crowded with people
in attendance on the State convention. To
day after the arrival of the morning express
train, doubtless there will be a larger number
of strangers in the city than has been drawn
together here on a similar occasion for many
years. Much interest attaches to the conven
tion as the time draws near for the final vote.
In to-morrow’s paper we shall give a full
report of the proceedings, together with list
of delegates.
Our citizens were saluted yesterday morn
ing at five o’clock by the familiar sound of
the steam whistle of the mill belonging to the
Kennebec Land and Lumber company on the
east side of the river. A large supply of logs
has been floated down the river for use, and
the mill is in full operation with its usual
compliment of hands. The mechanics here
have good wages and constant employment
while the milling seasons continues ; no lost
time on account of dull weather. Lumber is
manufactured at this null into almost every
conceivable form.
The Capital Guards were out with full
ranks Monday evening. They marched to
Cushnoc square where they performed many
graceful evolutions. The company has fully
decided upon the color and style of the new
uniform. Blue swallow-tailed coat, trimmed
with buff and gold lacing; pants, same color;
hat with buff plume. Citizens are subscribing
liberally towards the funds of the company.
Quite a revenue is being derived from fees
of honorary members, who deem it an honor
to be placed on the rolls of this model com
pany.

A (irrat Invention.
Messrs. If. & C. T. Smith of Colchester,
Conn., are exhibiting at 1 G.1 \yatcr street,
next door south of the First National Bank in
this city, two machines of wonderful power—
a threshing machine and a sawing machine.
These gentlemen have been here only a few
days, but during that time the store which
they temporarily occupy has been filled with
interested spectators witnessing the opera
tions of the machines. All our farmers, who
have dreaded each year the coming of the in
evitable threshing machine, will be interested
in this one. It is a hand machine, and re
quires no horse power. The power Is com
municated to the revolving flails by two pul
leys working in different directions on a spin
dle suspended between them, something the
same as though it were a top moved by the
friction of the hands. The motion is very
rapid and the friction so slight that very
little power is required to run it. A man
with one of these machines can with ease
thresh 100 bushels of grain a day. about 50
turns of the driving wheel giving 7000 blows j
of the flail. The machine has been in use at.
the barn of the exhibitors in Colchester, ami
has elicited the admiration of all who have
seen it. It was patented in March last by
George M. Khoads and George B. Hamlin.
It was our privilege yesterday, in company
with many of our citizens, to witness the prac
tical operations of this machine, and we have
no hesitation in commending it to all our
farmers, for it embraces a principle that is as
old as the world and cannot "go back" on the
inventors. Some of our most prominent citi
zens have carefully examined the workings of
both machines, and are ready to give in their
verdict of approval. The Messrs. Smith will
remain here for a short season, and we advise .
citizens and strangers to give them a call.

IMPORTANT FACTS!
For the Public.
NEW EASTERN DEPOT
FOR THE WOULD RENOWNED
SINGER
SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MAINE.
These Machine#, by their fdmplcity, durability,
and tin* great range of work they execute,
have gained a reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the Singer Mam facti h
ing Company has stimulated many other com
panies to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every ease they have sig
nally tailed, as is plainly shown by the fact, that of
all tin* travelling agents—“runners or drummer#”
—of other companies, none have the assurance to
claim more than an equality w ith the Huger, even
upon any sjwcial class of w ork.
Then* arc many sewing machines, now offered to
the public, that have their good point . ami are of
much assistance to the housewife and tin* industri
ous seamstress. Parties purchasing a sew ing ma
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and
pleasing, that they are naturally, hut erroneously,
led to believe that they have the be-t, until the spell
is broken by tin* introduction of the Singer of 1870
into a neighbor’s family, which is Mire, by the in
creased rapidity and ease* with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to aw akoii them to a
positive, although it may be silent acknowledge
ment. of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are* easily executed upon the
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
w ithout, or exchange, at a heavy pc«mniary sacri
fice, their curved-necdled. frail-powered, unrelia
ble-tensioned, low-speeded or ravel-stitched ma
chine for a Sittgir ,NVu% Family Machine.
Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub
lic eye may be turned from the Singer for the pur
po-e of introducing inferior machine;—viz, “The
Button - Hole Hodge,” "The Over-Seaming,” “The
I>uu Me-Loc k-K not-Hitch,” "Klastic >t itch,” * Twist
ed Loop,” “>elf- Adjusting Tensions,” *• High Finish
and Beautifully Ornrniented,” "Strught Needle,"
“Stitch-Alike-oii-both-Hde-“Medal- from Fairs,”
• Vertical Fe« ! Bars'" “Noisele - Kunning,” “Si
lent f eed.” and la.- f and worst of all the low-priced
—"Family shuttle Machines.”
Many of the.-c point- are desirable, (and the
singer excells all in each indiv idual speciality) but
the great' -t u • m ade of tin•.-<• special point.-* is by
tin* retail agent who parades them before the inex
perienced piircha.-cr w ith -u- h tlucnt and earnest
style, a- t ■ entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno
cent local agent- ignoranllv repre.-ent that the ma
chine -old by tic n. is i a [able of doing every varie
fv of wurk, c/ual to tin Singer, and often do thev
tffci- unconsciou*-Iy swindle < u-tonar- wlio cannot
aflord to squander their substance upon gilded
ltd lie- arid worthies* rattle-traps.
Parties in qm -t of a Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most exten
sively used m tamilie*. tailor shops, shoe factories,
and carriage factories. H is an a> knowlttlgt d fact,
freely admitted by all setring machine dealers, that
more than tiro-thirds of ad the clothing ir •rn in this
countrg by both seres, whether custom made or ready
mat/e. in actually manufactured upon The siNGElt
sewi><i .Machine.
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprising.C ompan
ies that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world. Throughout their immense manufar
turies. which are kept in con-tant operation "day
and night.” none hut highly skilled mechanic# art*
emploved. Newly improved machinery is em
ployed* turning oiit each part finished to that me
chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du
plicate of the other ill size, weight and finish. All
new inventions are carefully examined and te.-ted,
and if approved, arc adopted, regardless of ex
pense. while the many impractical humbug# that
are patented, aiv left to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser w hen too late, that he has
“paid too dear for his whistle.” it should be re
membered that the singer Manufacturing Com- j
pany has never made a poor Mac bine--from the !
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices, or expend funds in “log-rolling” I
at f airs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect tin iii—place them
in their >ah*s Booms, and leave tin- public to find
out the virtue- in their ow n way . By this straight
few aid con i*-e they arc m w manufacturing about
four hundred pt r day. and at that rate, even, are
unable t" Mij'plv the demand.
