and hnobsi proposes to supply gentlemen upon
the shortest notice, with any number Of those na

four cents, II taken from the shop This aba,e.
ment OF sixteen cents is allowed to any gentle.
man who may prefer to have them set in by their
own workmen, as the work is trihing; the abate.
ment will be found to be liberal Builders and
others who ayrequire quantity of those patent
springs, viii be accommodated with q generous
allowance on taking them by Tie groce.
The above invention. for rs utility. convent
ence and eheapness will Instantly convince anv
person who may examine il, tina, there was ne
yer any thing invented for the purpose, which
could in any degree bear a competition with If.
The former manner OF fastening sashes bv small
bolts, and raising and supporting them by pullies
and ieaden weights. was not only exceedingly
complex, difficult and expensive but wa, also ii.
able TO many accidents, as the wearing or break.
ing OF cord or pulley, &c would prevent the
whole machinery from performing lis cxueged
functions. and would require more expensr IN 70
PAIRING alone, than would purchase the new IN.
vented patent spring This spring will aa an ?.
sate bolt to prevent the window from being ouen-
ed by ri'ing from Tyif5out, and by lust touching
the spring IT may be raised from within to anv
convenient height, where it will rest with asu,ucn
safety asii It were supported by pillar.
1t IS not surprising that an invention 50 usef,il.
which IS at once so simple and so convenient
