Il ventor Or. Kidder) of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks Of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use OF it will be found fully IS per cent in ev-
cry persons gas bill. 1t can be so adjusted as TO
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than
that Of the street, and when once adjusted the
Regulator will continue TO supply the gas at that
pressure uniformly without requiring further care
or attention, and independent of all the fuctua-
tons of the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is light Of more
agreeable quality, in place of the blush white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasoned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed As
an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in OPP
Grafton in some of the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony to its value. 1t has also received the
united commentators of the press.
Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city of
Washington and its vicinity, DESTROYS to avail
themselves Of the economser, can obtain all fur
ther information by calling on the subscriber, who

TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
i this Office TO pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails, for the amounts respectively. of their
quarterly pay. 1t was established to accommo-
date the contractors and meet their necessities, in
advance of the regular and slower process Of pay
ing by the drafts or warrants Of the department
and was intended only TO apply TO one draft per
route from each contractor for the whole amount
(deductng fines, collections, &c., of his quarterly
pay; but il has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as TO be supposed to allow any
number Of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ingin the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation flor
IT was never anything morel has thus been made
TO embarrass materially the business of this Office
forced upon il the settlement of the pirate ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF

persons through whose hands these drafts are
MADE 10 pass before their presentation.
IS therefore deemed proper to give this public
no,,ce 70 contractors, and all concerned, that from

be paved or filed for payment, in this Office. This
