From DR.. Samuel Kiddey, Of Charesto,on Ms.
This may certify thatl have used in my family
the air-tght Stove invented by Rev. Isaac Orr,
and found it fully to answer the description given
of IT by him, aud 10 consume during winter, or
while the weather is so cold as to need a lire in
dining room, only one cord ofwood Tho room
was SO warm during the day and night, that plants
hourished and grew quite as well as If they had
been in green house lf could get no other
Air.tisht Stove, would not take Fifty Dollars for
it,-so highly do value 1t II proper attention Is
il will he found the most comfortable, convenient,
and economical Of any stove in use. ] have had
the stove above referred to in use about seven

From the Rcp. "A. Blanchard, of WtrnGr, NJ. II.
About the first of February last obtained one
of Orr's Air tight Stoves, and placed it in room
eight feet high, twelve wide, and fifteen long
This room had two doors and four windows. II
was uncarpetcd, and the doors and windows
were not listed. During that part of the year in
which fire is necessary, fire has been kept IN
the stove night and day All the wood that it has
taken to keep fire for the tweniy-four hours, has
been only what could bring in my arms at one
lime. OF sound, dry wood, II has never taken
more, To supply it during the coolest days we mao
last winter, and this, thus far The heat OF THIS
stove much prefer TO that of any stove or hre-
place have ever used. 1t is like uniform, leas-
ant, summer heat. With careful management =
for if the door is left up, it viii burn SO RAPIDLY as
10 spoil the stove and fill the room with smoke
which will puff out with great violence. hno'her
thing must be attended TO = the doors OF the room
must not be left open, constantly on the swing
for il will create heat fast enough To supply any
apartment except its own. 1t taxes ABOUT three
minutes TO fill it, which is done on going 10 bed ;
and then, unless ,he weather IS extremely cold, or
windy, it will need but very little if any more
wood, till the next night at the same time. DC
casionay the damper will have 10 be raised little
and for short intervals during the day. Ii 10 per.
fecily sale, when closed and may be left filled
with wood, without danger, for twenty four hours
and on returning, the room will be warm and com
Portable. .. ..a.. ...r.
On tho whole, i, is my opinion that, properly
manufactured, and properly managed, no stove Is
so cheap, conomcai, safe, and pleasant, as the
tight" for studies, sleeping apartments si'ting
rooms and sick chambers. One cord OF sound,
dry hard maple wood, will nearly supply a room
during the coolest winter, unless it is very large,
and open and exposed to currents of fresh air from
without. / would not be without one for twice
this cost. ...... ..e. So y.
