Boston have lately witnessed It's exhibition, and
are perfectly satisfied of the reality of the dis
covery. Wright, of the Chronotype-who is
something of chemist has examined the ap-
paratus for producing the gas, and says it is
not only genuine discovery on the part OF Mr..
Paine, but he also can make it. In the Bos-
ton Atlas, we fud a commuuition over the
signature Of Co., which goes to establish the
truth of Mr., P.s discovery. The correspon-
dent SAYS:
"Much has been said and written about Mr.,
Paine newly discovered process, in the pro-
duction of gas. BY some il has been dogmat-
tically pronounced humbug, and by others,
more firmly stated TO be reality. Among the

On Thursday last, two gentlemen from \.
York, one OF whom is the president of gas
company, and the other the professor of chem
istry in medical college of that CITY The

ourselves whether in reality Mr.. Paine had
made any such discovery.

produced and was burned before our eyes
Now, from what material was this gas pro
duced We all saw and were satisfied that il
was produced from water. We left Mr.. P. 5

made one of the greatest discoveries of the
