New and Extraordinary Invention!!.

FRANCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRITER.-By this wonderful invention
leiier and duplicate can be written in opera
ton with more ease and greater facility than a
single letter with an ordinary pen and ink
To the mercantile, professional and travelling
pant of the community this truly great invention is
of infinite value as it is great saving of TINE,
TROUBLE and EXPENSE. The principal advantage
TO be derived from the manifold writer is, that a
copy of any document may be kept without any
additional trouble to the writer, and without any
necessity of using either inkstand or pen.
The instrument used for writing is an agate point,
consequently it never wears by use. For banks,
insurance offices, merchants men of business gen.
orally, lawyers; postmasters, editors, reporters,
public officers, and all who may be desirous of
preserving copies of their letters, documents, &c.
with an immense saving of time and the satisfac-
tioa of having an erGct copy of what they have
written, this will be found invaluable
The following is from the Chairman the Com
mittee on Chemicals, appointed by the managers
of the American Institute at their late Fair:
THE judges appointed by the Managers of the
Fair of The American Institute, held at Niblos
Garden. October, lS41, report, that we have ex-
amined into the merits of Francis's Manifold Wr
ter and find it TO be very ingenious and useful
confrivance, by which two or more letters, or 9TH
er documents, may be written at once. The ink
used is not i'll liquid state, but consists of COM
position applied to sheets of paper: The nature
of this composition is such that II is not liable TO
change color by exposure TO the air or moisture;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
"1'he principal advantage to be derived from a
use of the Manifold Writer is, that copy of any
document may be kept without any additional
trouble TO the writer, and without the necessity OF
using either an inkstand or pen. 1t is stated
that a copy--ight is secured. We consider Mr.
Francis deserving a reward from the Institute.
