Paine's Light.

A PI1iN STATEMENT. Messrs Editors -
Much Aas been said and written about Mr.. Paine's
,ewly discovered process, in the production of gas
BY some it has been Dramatically pronounced a hum
bug, and by Others, firmly stated 10 be real
Ity. Among the former; was the 'sScientic Com
mittee, several editors, and, | am sorry TO saw nv
humble self Against these, j. c. Pedrick, ESQ
the proprietor Of the PATENT and Mr.. Paine, with
friend or two, had to maintain the unequal contest
This contest has been kept up for several months,
but It must now be con dered an end, in the com
plete triumph Of Mr.. Paine.
On Thursday last, two gentleman Of this city met
at Mr. Paine's house, in Worcester, two other gen.
tlemen from New York, one of whom is the Presi-
dent of gas company, and the other the Professor
of Chemistry in Medical College of that city, The
object we all had in view, was to ascertain for our
selves whether in reality Mr. Paine had made any
such discovery.
Mr. Paine politely conducted us to the apartment in
which his gas generator placed. He immedi-
ately put IT in operation, and all with aston
shmenf, wonderfully copous evolution Of by drogen
gas, which, after passing from the glass jar in which
II was made into another glass jai where combines
with carbon, issued by tube 10 the burner. where
ii was lighted, and produced beautiful bright light
1t continued to burn long as the instrument was
kept IN motion. The gas was produced and was
burned before our eyes, Now from what material
'"s 's' P'oNuScu' w al saw anu were satlSled
That It was produced from water. We left Mr.
Panes house fully convinced that he had in reality
made one OF the greatest discoveries Of the age and
IN all probability it will prove, in its ultimate devel-
opments, the greatest discovery Of modern times
That there was any deception in the exhibition not
one entertained the thought for moment. All was
fair, liberal and honorable. Now, there is no mis-
take in all this; it is fact that gas light can be
obtained from water, at very small cost. But
them it is asked, when we to have the benefit Of il?
We suppose when the propIietors shall have receiv-
ed an adequate remuneration. We hope company
will soon be formed to introduce il into the city Of
Boston. Yours, &c, G.
