Lackey, ot Peabody, by the Presbytery or Emporia, in session in that town, was concluded last Friday morn ing. After remaining in session nearly two weeks this church, when its final vote was taken, decided that the charges were not proven.

As an evidence, the Singer, Rcm iugton and Wheeler & Wilson were invented about the same time and put into market, and at the present day tho Singer has over one million and a hair In use, tbe Wheeler & Wil son has about five hundred thousand and the Remington has the small, insignificant num ber or five thousand nine hundred and fifty- three, which can be seen on the upper end ;of tbe needle burr, which makes the Remington the last choice ot the people, and they would not have sold one quarter that number had they not sold them under a fictitious name. For many years the Remington machine com pany have attempted to force their machines on the market as the Remington, but failed, which reminds me of several occurrences. Fifteen years ago the third diy of July, I was in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with a friend by the name or D. fl. Horner. There were two agents at the place, the Wheeler & Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler Wilson agent had confidence enough in his machine to sell It on its own reputation, but the Remington agent's confidence Tailed him, and he attempted to sell it as tho improved Weed. Some five years ago, while I was sell ing the Howe, I happened to meet an agent that was selling the Remington. Ho had as little confidence in his machine as tbe first one I met, and he attempted to sell it as the Improved Howe, and 1 havo been creditably informed that the Remington agents are sell ing their machines here as the improved Singer, which is raise. There is no Improved Singer except the original one, which cannot be sold in the Southwest except by or through int. Those who wish to buy the Remington aro welcome to, but I deem it my duty to inform tho good people of the South west, through the columns or your paper, so they will not be imposed upon in buying ma chines. A machlno that cannot be sold on its own reputation should not be sold on the merits of a machlno that has been long tried and proved, without doubt, the best in . the world. The impositions offered are of the deepest dye. W . Mason, General Agent for the Southwest. Wichita. June 27, 187C. 14-Cm Any one wishing a horse or mulo pastured should apply toA.T.
