Of all the contrivances that havo been derived to relieve the housewife of one of her greatest troubles, and tho killing wear and tear of constant needle work,the Machine is the most Wonderful. And the most wonderful of all tho various patents of these Machines is tiie celebra ted “dinger.” The many thousands of these Machinos scattered over every part of tne civilized world, form an array of witnesses to their superiority that can not Ik questioned. Every household almost testifies to their niorits, and a large proportion of the garments worn iu our daily walks prove their extensive use. No other Machine has taken so many prizes at so many fairs, where tests wore made—for no other Machine possesses so many points of excellence. Scarcely a stitch that can be made by the nimble lin gers of tho most skillful lace worker, is too intricate for this wonderful Machine. Mr. Holt is the Agent in this city, and a more obliging gentleman is hard to find. H. A. GIBSON on upper Broad street desires to come iu for a share of Christmas.

Williams' Art Gallery, over Dr. Carters’ drug store. It is a treat to go there. Y’ou can spend an hour very plesantty and profitably in ex amining his varied and superb collections of Photographic Art Pictures. He charges nothing for looking, being al ways glad to have any one visit him and examine his collection. If you should want your picture taken in the highest style of art, he can do it, and at figures that will surprise you in their smallness. He does not claim to bo the best artist in tho world, but having had twenty-one years practical experience in tho business, and during this time having kept up with all tho improvements in his art, ho feels confident he can satisfy the most fasti dious. We cannat imagine a more appropriate Christmas present to a loving parent or absent friend tnan an elegant photograph of yourself taken by Mr. Williams. “ALTOGETHER LOVELY.’’ Yesterday In our daily stroll we, by casuality, found ourselves in the hand some Drug Store cf Gilbert A Thornton.

Mr. M. Joseph, at his Palatial store, west side of Broad street, is most bril liantly illustrating the DRY GOODS TRADE of Columbus. It is astonishing to witness the immenso piles of goods that he daily disposes of. Almost every conveyance that leaves the city—w hether steamboat, railroad train, wagon or pleasure carriage, carries bales, packages, pieces, or bundles of goods from Joseph’s. The people of the country all around—far and near—as well as those in the city, have been convinced that no house in all this whole section offers superior induce ments or superior goods; hence tho ever lasting rush that is observable to get to his counters, by those in search of hand some goods and low prices. His stock is a marvel of completeness— scarcely an ar ticle needed to muke it perfect. Call for whut yuU wiltand it appears before you as if by magic. The linest fabrics seem as abundant as tho most staple goods, and frequently the price is but little high er, And theu Mr. Joseph has a staff of assistants that can seldom bo equaled. Messrs. Frumpton. Peacock and Allen In the general sales department, are nil gen tlemen of experience in tho trade arid widely known as excellent and obliging salesmen. The Ladies’ Department has proved a success fur beyond its early flattering promise, for it has supplied to the ladies just the Department that they had long felt a want or, but of tho convenience of which they have but recently been made acquainted. This department is attended by ladies who are thoroughly conversant with ail its. details and mysteries. Iu a wold, the Dry Goods establishment of M. JOSEPH Is a credit to the city, and it fully deserves the large patronage it is daily receiving, lie invites a careful inspec tion of his stock, and defies competition. WITTK H .Sr KINSKI.. This popular Jewelry establishment is in full blast, and has on exhibition every species of Jewelry, Silver ware and Parlor ornaments. The latest novelties in Dia monds, Watches and Clocks have been se lected with a special view to the present hard times.

If you would make your married lady friend happy, give her one of their elegant Clocks, that she may know what hour the head of the family arrives, and thus put an end to his saying “it is about ten o’clock.” NOW IS YOV R CHANCE to got exactly what you want in the way of Millinery.

Gentlemen who desire to present their wives with a Christmas gift aro advised to call to-day. and learn from Mrs. Lee what a woman would most desire. Mrs. Lee knows exactly what ladies most ad mire, and she can tell you what to buy. A. XI. BRANNON. Mr. Brannon owns and controls two drug stores, and for a Christmas present he does not advise the purchase of pills, but he keeps’outside of drugs nice Christ mas presents in the shape of Toilet Sets, Vases and Lamps. If you want to be particularly popular you can get a bottle offsweot.cologne or Lubin’sbest as a pres ent for Christmas. Such investments would prove very acceptable. Mr. Bran non also has a large lot of fancy articles, and from them you will be able to select a suitable present. A MOREL DRY LIOOIt STORE, and whore to buy exactly what you want, and and at I tie lowest prices, is at JONES’. Weyire willing to stake opr reputation on the fad that Jones lias more custom ers than any one else. It is owing to the splendid stock lie k*t*ps, and secondly (in pur I'bUumUou) that ho advertises liber ally In the Times. But let that lie as It may, we are asking the public to patron ize 51r. Jones because ho has a fine stock of dry goods, and because wo do not know of a place whore better bargains can be h-td. Mr. Jones has not lost sight of the Christmas trade, and hence has provided his store with everything needful to meet the wants ol bis numerous customers. Think of what you want.

They have presents suitable for every ago and condition,and every article of first-class quality. Those of a literary turn, can select a set of tho beautirul edi tions of the poets—Shakspeare, Byron, Burns, Moore and others.

Pease A Nor man have an extra assortment of these goods, and will sell them very cheap. Be sure and go into Pease’s before you de cide on a Christmas Present, and you will be certain to tind there an appropriate present. SANTA CLAIM. From the appearance of things at Rob inson’s, Santa Claus will make that store his headquarters. The best selected stock of confectionery, toys, and fireworks in the city are at W. T. Robinson’s. In looking through his stock wo saw everything to tempt the eye and appetite of the young. Go there and look through bis stock before purchasing, for, our woid for it, you will find bargains. AT DOWBEKI’S, Going into Cowdery’s, we found his crockery establishment fiileld, not only with customers, but also with Christinas goods. Time was when china was rare and Liverpool ware everywhere. But now china is moderately cheap, and the shelves of the “china-shop” are graced with the most lovely specimens of art in figures and pictures of exquisite coloring. His store, which is one of the largest in the city, was well filled with all manner of crockery, and while thero we saw in prospective many a wife’s heart gladden ed by the purchase of her Christmas taa set. a porcelain vase for her mantle, or a set of Bohemian glass ware. His glass and china ware is of the latest designs and coloring. His imported goods aro oi the finest texture and finish, and his prices are extremely moderate. By pricing some of his goods, we solved the problem why such a run had been made on this “china-store” T. TANARUS, EDM UNDS. We visited yesterday, on cur Christmas jaunts, the elegant Furniture Store of T. X. Edmunds, wtiere we found a most ele gant assortment of Furniture, Fancy Chairs, Lounge* and everything elso that can bethought of lu tiro furniture line. In these hard times it is true economy to buy a Christmas gift, it matters not what it costs, that is not perishable, but that will last and be of use for years. To those who do not consider that houso fur niture comes under the head of Christmas presents, we would suggst the propriety of commencing the new year with new furniture entire, or at least with such ad dition to this year’s as the wife may deem necessary. To say that Edmunds sold goods economically, would bo almcst as supoifiuous as to ask a starving man if heiwas hungry. Go there and get your little boy a velocipede, and your little girl a nice chair. THOMAS A PBESCOTT Nothing sets off good looks better than a nice fitting suit of clothes. You haver worn your old ones long enough, so go to Thomas A Prescott’s and get fitted in one of their new suits. Take your wife by surprise by going home with anew suit If you dont do it,we advise all wives to go to Thomas A Prescott’s and order a suit, and take their husbands by surprise by having them ready’ for him to don early Christmas morning. The weather is balmy now, but cold weather is coming on, and you will need an overcoat- Take advantage of the reduction m clothing and get you an overcoat. Thomas A Prescott are anxious to sell theirs, and of course you can get a bargain by going there to-dav or to-morrow. Don’t put it off, but put on anew suit of clothes. You will feel better and look happier. WELLS A t'ERTI*' SHOE HOUSE. The wet weather yesterday drove us into tliaold reliable Suck house of Messrs. Wells A Curtis to get something to protect us from the mud. We found no trouble In getting just what we wanted; and wo believe that will bo the experience of every ono who goes there to purchase shoes. Theirs is the largest and com pletes! stock we havo ever seen In Colum bus. embracing all the elegant novelties for dress, os well as tho substantial grades for the streets and for plantation wear. The School Shoes, for Girls and Boys, especially attracted our attontlon—being neat in style, and stout and strong for service. The proprietors Informed us that they have customers all over tho country —even In Texas—to whom they send shoes by Express. Atlanta and Macon, too, have citizens who can only be suited to shoes by Wells A Cubtxs. We could easily account for all this, for we know these gentlemen are so thoroughly ac quainted with the Shoe business In all its details, that they understand what to have made and hoic to have It made. Next year they will try the exclusive Cash system. LAYFIEI.D AND SANTA CLAES have evidently formed a conspiracy and made headquarters at Laytleid’s store. We judge this from the appearance of things, for no store in the city has more real comforts to the little ones, and the more aged, ttian Layfleld presents. Toys by the cart loads,and Fireworks until you cannot rest, are for sale. If you want neither Toys, Dolls,Confectionery or Fire works, surely you want the best of Bread and Cakes. The Cakes are plain or Iced, and the Bread Is baked Fresh every day. Times are very dull, and money Is very scarce, so to make the least money go the farthest, we advise a visit to Laytleld’s. VIRGINIA GROCERY. Don’t forget tho Virginia Grocery owned by Capt. McAdams. There you will feel everything to select a good din ner from, and at living prices. We don’t specif}’, because everything is kept. If you want good Egg-Nogg, send for some of his Rum. It is the best. .NIGHT AUCTION*. Those of our readers who fail to find among our list of Christmas goods any thing to suit them in price, are Invited to visit Acee A Yonoe’s night auctions. They will take place every night at their store, just below Radcliff A Lamb’s, on Broad street. You can buy at their auc tions what you want, and at your price. Messrs.

TEN THOUSAND GOOD THINGS TO EAT. Mr. R. S. Crane, at his corner, can make a showing of delicacies, for good living during the Christmas holidays, that defies competition. Fruits, nuts, sauces, pre serves, canned goods, pickles, mince meats, fine teas, sugar, syrups, and all the substantiate—as flour, lard, hams, dried beef, and all the spices used to give rel ish to the flagging appetite. For good things to eat, go to Crane's. AT .1. T. UAH El,'* you can get Dressed Turkeys and Chick ens; Eggs, plenty on hand; French and Stick Candy, a large stock.

DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLI DAYS WE WILL ISSUE AN EXTRA NUMBER OF THE DAILY TIMES ADVERTISERS WE HOPE WILL AVIL THEMSELVES OF THIS OP PORTUNITY TO REACH ALL THE PEOPLE. Willcex * Insurance Agency. Willcox’s Insurance Agency has grown totoooneofthe institutions of Columbus that business men have learned to regard as a necessity that a constant liability to be burned out has placed upon them, and as a reliance at the same rime to shield them from the terrible losses’that tiros entail on all commercial communi ties. This agency has a list of companies in which to place risks, that have stood the severest tests that insurance writers iiave ever incurred inthis country. The aggre gate capital of the several companies rep resented by Mr- Wiilcox amounts to over Thibty-Five millions of dollars—enough to defray the expenses or a dozen or so State Governments— and It is all subject to the claims of their policy ho ders. Besides all this Mr. Wiilcox and Col. Iverson are two of the pleasantest gentle men to do business with that can be found. Their rates are always liberal, their ad justments fair und losses properly paid. Mere Haiti. It rained again yesterday. We hope the rain will be over and let us have a few days of sunshine to enjoy our Christmas in. It is said by tho "oldest" inhabitant that if it rains four days before Christ mas, it will be dry on Christmas day.
