Preservation Of Dead Bodies. We have ex-
ahmed an apparatus, invented by r, Frede-
rick & Co., by which the bodies Of deceased
persons can be preserved from unpleasant
smell, for great length of time, previous to
interment. 1t not nnfrequently happens that,
for various reasons, it is desirable to retain en-
coifined, or from the earth, dead bodies, and in
all such cases, through the use of this inven-
ton, decomposition, which frequently compels
speedy interment, may be prevented, and the
body preserved in a firm and unofTensive man
ner The operation is simple in its structure
and easy of use, consisting of a tin encase-
ment of ice. Its use will be afforded cheap,
and to the poor gratis. 1t has been repeatedly
tried and proved, and found fully to sustain its
design. They may be seen at Mott, n. Gay
street, or No. IS High-st
