consuming community The saving effected by
the use Of it will be found fully IS per cent. in

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, occasioned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. AS
an evidence Of its practical utility, it now in op-
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

cite coal lands, lying mostly in Augusta county,
l35 miles southwest of Washington city, Staunton

reach within twelve. The Company proposes TO
build railroad TO connect with the Virginia Gen.
tral and Manassas. When this is accomplished,
IT will be able 10 put coal in this city at SO per ton
thus enabling the company TO make from 50 TO 81
per ton profit, and of course making it one of the
most profitable investments ever offered to the
public. The lands abound in rich stratas of coal,
from four to fourteen feet thick and water free.
There is also an inexhaustible supply of iron ore,
similar TO the Scotch and Welsh ores in quality
and richness The Dora is the only anthracite
field known in the State of Virginia, and is nearer
than any OF the Cumberland mines by more than
one hundred niles consequently it enjoys, in re-
spect TO distance, advantage over any coal that
