••• The Wheeler & Wilson Company of New York, manu- 
facturers of American Sewing-Machines, have just received 
the Gold Medal at the Exposition Universelle, for the 
good construction of their machines ; the new improvement 
for making button-holes, applicable to their sewing-ma- 
chines; also, for their machine especially for making but- 
ton-holes. This award is accorded for the great develop- 
ment that Messrs- "Wheeler & "Wilson have given to the 
sewing-machine industry, in bringing their machines to the 
doors of all, by their cheapness and solid construction, 
which allows their employment with satisfaction in fami- 
lies, and with great advantage in work-rooms."

Silvers' Patent Broom 
WHICH HAS TAKEN THE FIRST PREMIUMS AT THE 
NEW YORK; OHIO AND KENTUCKY STATE FAIRS, 
Enables every farmer to 
use Broom Coin brush of 
his own raising, and have 
a better broom in every 
respect than can be bonght 
at the store. It is so sim- 
ple that a child can put it 
together. The parts (ex- 
cept the brush,; will last 
a life line, and the brush 
caii be renewed in a few 
minutes. The American 
Agriculturist for Julv.isi,?. 
pays : " Silver's Patent 
Brooms have bem tested 
by several months' use in 
our families, and the wri- 
ter has, without instruc- 
tion, and with entire case, 
prepared the brush and filled the brooms to his perfect sat- 
isfaction. The ladies pronounce the brooms much superior 
in elasticity and durability to the old ones, and. they are 
adopted as a family institution."

PRIEST'S PATENT BASKET. 
Thi3 basket has a movable bottom made of two 
pieces, attached with bin-res, and connected by 
cords to a wire in the handle. The upper end of 
the wire is formed into a hook, by which to hang 
the basket to a limb of the tree. By means of a 
cord attached to the hook the basket, when filled, 
is lowered to the ground or into a barrel; the cord is then 
slackened, the basket is gently raised, the bottom opens 
and the fruit is deposited as carefully as it can be done with 
the hands. 
By using this basket, the danger attending the carrying 
of fruit from the tops of trees to the ground is avoided, the 
labor is lessened one-half, and the fruit is not bruised as 
when poured out of an ordinarr basket.
