Fine Teas. 
This is a combination of capitalists to supply the con¬ 
sumers of Teas throughout the United States on the mutual 
principle. 
We expect every consumer of Teas to render us all the 
assistance they can in carrying out our enterprise, as we 
make a specialty of SUPPLYING CONSUMERS ONLY, 
(and allow no middlemen to make any profit on our im¬ 
portations,) which will enable us to supply them with Teas 
at prices lower than have ever been known, and of those 
flue qualities that seldom reach the interior, being sold only 
in large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Tlie scope and character of the magazine shall be that of a first-class re¬ 
ligions and literary monthly, of the highest character attainable, and 
pervaded, whether in its general or religious articles, by a thoroughly 
Christian spirit.”—Order of the Committee. 
Under these directions, it will be devoted to General and Religious Literature, Biographies 
and Travels, Criticisms and Art. 
A sufficient number of the best writers for the press are employed to furnish all the va¬ 
riety in the several departments which their scope and importance require to make them 
rich and instructive. 
The Editorial Department will be a feature of the Magazine. Rev. Dr. Curry, both ex¬ 
perienced and successful as an editor, enters upon his duties with the purpose of giving his 
whole strength to the work before him. 
Each number will contain one or more articles illustrated with Wood Engravings, m the 
best style of this art, adding beauty and value to the pages. 
The twelve numbers for the year will contain 1,153 pages of reading-matter, which, 
published in book form, would make not less than fifteen volumes, worth $1.50 each, and 
will comprise a variety that will be more interesting and valuable to the general reader than 
could be procured in books for many times the yearly price of the magazine. 
We earnestly request our people to take the National Repository for 1877—to give it one 
year's trial, and thereby determine for themselves whether it is worthy of a place in the 
Christian home.

The Chnmherliu Screw Stump Machine, 
-after 10 years test, has proved its 
superiority over all others, by its 
great exhibition of strength and 
durability, combined with cheap¬ 
ness and ease in pulling all classes of 
stumps. The Company’s challenge 
of $1000 for a stump machine which 
would excel theirs, has stood since 
1867 without being taken. They build 
6 different sizes of machines, to pull 
all kinds of stumps. They make 
Subsollers and Ditching Plows. For
