DEALER in Paints, Oils, Glass, &C., G. street,
~ Todd's Buildings, Washington, ID. T., has just
received from the original inventors and sole manu-
facturers, a large supply Of the genuine
DOriC Lamp.
This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily
trimmed, and will give light equal to twenty
sperm candles, at a cost of one cent an hour.
Its superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there is no brass or other metal
that corrodes which comes in contact with the fluid
the external and internal draughts pass through
the body Of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. II

~ B.-Drections to be observed in using the
PINE OIL LAMPS
In trimming the Doric Lamp the chimney is first
removed and the Lamp taken out of the ring the
button and cone must be next taken off, and the
cone may be used for a stand to set the lamp on
while trimmng-after which the wick-holder is
taken out and the wick raised above the tube sufh
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge, which
should he done with sharp pair of scissors-thc
wick-holder is then returned to its place, and the
wick should be perfectly even with the top of the
tube--fill the Lamp, replace the cone and button
and 1t is ready for use.
OTTO avoid accidents, the Lamp should never
be filled while burning. feb ST
