This may certify thatl have used IN my family
the air.tight Stove invented by Rev. Isaac Orr,
and found it fully to answer the description given
of it by him, and to consume during a winter or
while the weather is so cold as TO need lire in a
dining room only one cord ofwood The room
was SO warm during the day and night, that plants
hourished and grew quite as we'll ms II they had
been in green house. IL Goua gGr %T s for
it,-so highly do value 1t. If proper attention is
paid TO the door and damper, will venture to say,
il will be found the most comfortable, convenient,
and economical of any stove in use. l have had
the stove above referred to in use about seven
years (Siened) SAMUEL KIDDER.

From the Rec. A. Blanchard, Of Farmer, NJ. FL.
About tho first of February last, obtained one
of Orrs Air tight Stoves, and placed It in room
eight feet high, twelve wide, and fifteen long,
This room had two doors and four windows III
was unexpected, and tho doors and windows
were not listed. During that part of the year in
tho stove night and day. All the wood that it has
taken to keep fire for the twenty-four hours, has
been only what could bring in my arms at one
time. Ofsound, dry wood, II has never taken
more, TO supply it during the coolest days we had
last winter, and this, thus far. The heat OF TINS
stove much prefer to that of any stove or lre-
place have ever used. 1t is like a uniform, pleas
ant summer heat. With careful management >
for if the door is left up it will burn SO rapidly as
TO spoil the stove, and fill the room with sm"ke-
which will puff out with great violence. Ano.her
thing must be attended to the doors OF the room
must not be left open, or constantly on the swing
for it will create heat fast enough supply any
apartment except its own. 1t takes about three
minutes TO fill il, which is done on going to bed !;
and then, unless The weather IS extremely cold, or
windy, it will! need but very little if any more
wood till the next night at the same time. Oc-
casIonally the damper will have TO be raised little
and for short intervals during the day 1t Is per
fecly safe when closed and may be LETT hlled
with wood without danger, for twenty four hours !;
and on returning, the room will be warm and com
Portable.
On tho whole, it is my opinion, that, properly
manufactured, and properly managed, no stove is
cheap, economical, safe, and pleasant, as the
''air- tight for studies, sleeping apartments, sitting
rooms, and sick chambers. One cord of sound,
dry, hard maple wood, will nearly supply room
during the coolest winter, unless il is very large,
and open. and exposed TO currents of fresh air from
without. l would not be without one for twice
this cost.

sick room, producing mild and equal temperature,

four doors and three windows, and (the house old)

wood has suiced for the coldost "a hours thus far
in the season ; and without touching the stove in
the meantime, the thermometer at the back part OF
the room is kept within half degree of the same
point for 10 TO IL hours together. The stove is
large, and is managed according to the directions.
NoTICE TO PURCHASERS. 1t is best to observe
strictly the Patentoe's directions ill you clearly
