Cherry Stoner.—Wo. 80. 15ay State 
Apple Paring- and. Slicing Maclaine. 
Wo. 81. “Saratoga” Potato Peeler 
and Slicer .—(See Engraving .')—All the above 
machines are most useful in everyhousehold vvhei eapples, 
cherries, and potatoes ate to be 
cared for. Manufactured by the 
Goodei.l Co., Antrim, N. H. We 
have never seen the work for 
which these machines were con¬ 
trived, more rapidly or better 
done, than they will do it. The 
Apples are pared, cored, and sliced 
with the greatest facility, and the 
Cherries are readily relieved of 
their stones, leaving the frnit in 
good shape. The “Bay State 
Parer and Sheer ”* lias a new at¬ 
tachment to the Knife Head which 
cuts the Apple into slices, and 
places them at one side in a dish 
on the table. The “ Saratoga ” 
slices and peels the potato at one 
operation, and is a very ingenious 
and useful contrivance. $§P”On!y 
three subscribers, at $1.60 each, 
are required to get any one of the 
above, except No. 80, which re¬ 
quires four. For sixteen sub¬ 
scribers at $1.60 each, we will send the whole of them 
free, delivery unpaid. [Or we will supply any one of 
them at the price named (see Table).] Receiver to pay 
expressage. For prices see Premium Table, page 401. 
Wo. 82.—Kemington Sewing Ma¬ 
chine. —Price reduced S20.—“A. good Sewing 
Machine lightens the labor, and promotes the health and 
happiness of those at home." Any good sewing machine 
is a great treasure in any household ; we would as soon 
think of abolishing the plow, and digging up the fields 
with a spade, as of being without a sewing machine. Upon 
the mother’s health, vigor, and serenity, largely depend 
the child’s health, vigor, and success in life, as well as 
his moral character. The everlasting “ stitch, stitch, 
stitch,” the bending over the work, the loss of sleep, and 
the lack of right exercise have brought tens of thou¬ 
sands to early graves, and seriously injured the health of 
millions upon millions. Reckoned in dollars, a sewing 
machine pays largely. If one cost $500 even, the interest 
on that, less taxes, would be about $32. The total sew¬ 
ing in moet families is equal to at least 4 months of 
steady hand-sewing. If hired, this would cost, board in¬ 
cluded, $5 to $10 per week, or $85 to $170 a year, three- 
fourths of which would be saved by using a sewing ma¬ 
chine that will work at least 4 times as fast, (cutting, 
basting, etc., included) ; or a saving of $50 to $100, or 
more, each year. We say to every man. Get your wife a 
Good Sewing Machine, even if you have to sell a favorite 
horse, or an acre or two of land—get the sewing machine 
any way. If you can get a machine through our premium 
list, and thus save the cash it would cost, well—but get 
the machine. (Multitudes have obtained them free 
through onr premiums by collecting subscribers on rainy 
days and evenings. Almost any man or woman can readily 
do this. The premium list maybe collected in yonr own 
neighborhood and elsewhere.) We offer one of the best of 
the leading machines, one which has been thoroughly 
tested and gives entire satisfaction. While all of the high- 
cost machines are valuable, each has some excellence pe¬ 
culiar to itself. Tiie Remington Family Sewing 
Machine has sprung rapidly into favor, as possessing 
the best combination of good qualities, namely: light 
running, smooth, noiseless, rapid, durable, with perfect 
Lock Stitch. It is a Shuttle Machine, with Automatic 
Drop Feed. Its use is very readily acquired; it may be 
run at very high rate of speed; it is very durable; in con¬ 
struction it is of the best, and in design it is beautiful. 
—No charge for boxing the machines. They go safely 
as freight. Sending us 66 subscribers at $1.60 each will 
secure one free. For free circulars, giving full descrip- 
j tions of our Premium Machines, write by letter or postal 
to the Remington Sowing Machine Co., 
I Ilion, N. Y., or to No. 283 Broadway, New York City. 
No. 83.—Family Settles.—These scales, 
1 combiningtheadvantagesof counter and platform scales, 
[ are peculiarly adapt¬ 
ed to household pnr- 
| poses. (See Engrav¬ 
ing.) They weigh 
from 1 ounce up to 
240 lbs. They have a 
scoop, or pan, for 
weighing flour,sugar, 
or other bouse stores, 
and a platform for 
heavier articles, and 
are just such an apparatus as is needed for in-door or out¬ 
door use, occupying less than 2 feet square. These 
scales are manufactured by the well-known Fairbanks 
& Co., No. 311 Broadway, New York, whoso weighing 
apparatus has long ranked as the standard in all parts 
of the country. Send to them for circulars, if desired. 
Send us 21 subscribers, at $1.60 each, and get these fine 
Scales free. —[We will also supply these scales on re¬ 
ceipt of the price, $14.00.] Receiver to pay expressage. 
No. 84.—Universal Clothes Wring¬ 
er. — (See Engraving) — A very useful, time-saving , 
strength-saving, clolhes-saving implement, that should 
be in every family. Here is a thing that is of great value, 
“ and no mistake about it.” It will pay for itself several 
times a year in any family. The wringing out of clothes 
by hand is hard upon the hands, arms, and chest, and the 
twisting stretches and breaks the fibers with lever power. 
With this Wringing Machine, the garments are passed 
rapidly between elastic rollers, which press the water 
out better than hand wringing, and -as fast as one can 
pick up the articles. A most important feature of this 
Universal Clothes Wringer i6 the peculiar cog-wheel ar¬ 
rangement, which makes both rollers turn together, 
and always keep their place. Without these, the crank- 
roller will slip, and pull the fibers, and injure the fa¬ 
bric. A multitude, of letters of thanks for these Ma¬ 
chines, given by ns as Premiums, have been received. It 
Is easy to gather at five regular rate of $1.60 each, tlie 
16 subscribers, and this will secure a present of one of 
these very valuable $8.00 Universal Wringers. They 
are made by the Metropolitan Washing Machine Co., 
Middlefield, Ct. R. C. Browning, 32 Cortlandt St., N. Y. 
[We will supply one of these valuable machines on re¬ 
ceipt of the price, $8.00], Receiver to pay expressage. 
No. 85.—Tlie Cnreas Dietioiiary.—• 
Worcester’s Large Pictorial Unabridged Edition. 
containing 1854 three-column x>i*ges, with a 
multitude of illustrative engravings. (The work is a 
large quarto volume.) Most of the thoroughly educated 
men of the country consider this as by far the best Dic¬ 
tionary in the English Language. It gives the spelling 
and pronunciation of every word in the language with 
full explanations, and as a source of general information 
stands next to f Cyclopsedia. The Dictionary can be 
called for at our office, or be sent anywhere by express 
or otherwise. It should be in every family. Let a mul¬ 
titude of Boys, and Young Men, each get 18 subscribers, 
at $1.60 each, and each secure this invaluable work. A 
great many have done so in the past. It is worth trying all 
winter, to get and own it; but you can probably get sub¬ 
scribers enough this month to obtain it free. It is pub¬ 
lished by Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadcipb'i.
