W pagne.-The subscribers having been APP
upoited by Messrs. HeIdsieck & Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale OF their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card. NA "a
The Messrs Heidsleck & Co., as set forth there
in, justly claim TO be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidsieck ~ Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
ago, they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators Of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence. s
We beg particularly 70 notice that their brand
still bears the same name Of Heidsieck d Co., in
full, by which it first became so favoraby known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

WOOD GAs.-CAUTION.

T. 1t known that j the euDscrlDer OBJ
ID tanned letters patent in December, 1851, for
an apparatus for the destructive distillation OF
wood, and the making therefrom of tar or pitch at
pleasure, and gas and that in the judgment OF
competent persons the invention of an appar-
tus recently patented by W. ID. Porter cannot be
used by him or any other person without infring-
ing my said patent. And, further, that what IS
patented by said Porter rightfully belongs TO me,
as l expect to prove ere long before the United
States Patent Office; and further that the use of
said Porters inveption involves also process
which am now claiming before the United States
Patent Office, and which has been adjudged to be
patentable to the first inventor thereof and which
said W.D. Porter has formally disclaimed, as ap-
pears upon the public records of said Office, OF
which an official copy is hereto annexed, and also
copy Of his claims.
In the National hatelligencsr Of the 25th instant
Mr.. Porter announces that he has secured by
patent the "exclusive right 10 making gas from
wood and threatens prosecution 10 all parties
infringing his patent. | ask how this statement
comports with the fact Of my patent Of December,
1851 and how far the threat can intinidaie under
such circumstances Mr. Porters claim is based
upon movable perforated diaphragm, and was
so understood by the Patent Office, as it appears
from the records of the Patent Office that his
claim was at first refused as interfering with
prior patent 10 Robert FOULS Of Canada, for an
low, and in which the perforated diaphragm is the
saving clause, is what Mr. Porter calls securing
the "exclusive right TO making gas from wood"
The statement carries absurdily on its front. and
is a libel on the good sense Of the Patent O'ice.
If such claim or right had been granted, itwould
forbid every coa-kn and charcoal manufactofy
in ths country.
The following copies of correspondence and
extracts from the records Of the Patent Office will
show the true state Of the case;
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIcE,
August rs, 1884.
SIR. In reply to your letter of this date. asking
+" if any patent has been granted to W. d. Porter
dated 22d August 1854 or al any other time, or
to any other person or persons, securing TO him
or them ..hs ezclnsipe right Of making gas from
scood" and whether any such claim was made by
w. D. Porter, under his application for patent,
which letters patent were issued bearing the
above date, you are informed that w. d. Porter's
claims are believed TO be mined to his appara-
tus; and, further, this office is not aware that
patent has been granted heretofore for the ereia
sipe rigM Of making gas from, acosd II would,
however, be unjustifable to expect me 10 make

quest

To C. e. Desnold, President NJ j. Ziac Co., ~ =.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this innpor-
tant subject to the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks, al
Washington, and shall send with it a complete Sc
rics Of specimens ofwood ant metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard ;-al
of which illustrates in the most striking maaner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over oil other kinds
paints especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty 10 give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which are of too much lmpor-
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. ! am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Inspector u. s. Navy Yard Gosport, Va.

merly ofthis city is the man. He has devo-
ted much time to farming. and with very
great success. The society of which he is
president owes much to him.
While on the subject, we will say word
relative to samples ofvery fine manufacture
ed Tobacco exhibited at the Fair, by Messrs.
A. & r. 7. McNEER & Co., whose manufac-
tory is at place called Centreville, in the
county. The Tobacco was also produced in
Greenbrier. The samples, as far asthe wri-
ter is capable of Judging, were very fine
They had peculiarly light and delicate ap-
pearsnce; were hansomely put up, and with
out any ofthose preparations of liquorice ana
perfumes which are so much used nowadays
aud which, though not tobacco chewer'
we wonder do not disgust and nauseate
all the chewers. We mention this subject
partly to do Justice to the Greenbrier manu-
facturers, and partly to refer to the adap-
tation of the Allegheny and Blue Ridge
ranges to the production of Tobacco. Some
of the best Tobacco produced in the State, is
grown upon the Mountains of Amherst
Campbell and Bedford Porter's Mountain IN
the latter, is celebrated for its Tobacco
From the specimens exhibited by McNeer
& Co., we are satisfied that the Alleghanes
can produce an admirable TObacco--not so
gross as that of the Piedmont country; but OF
excellent flavor and of beautiful color. The
attention of our mountain friends should be
turned to the matter. Every addition to the
variety of the Farmers crops insures him
against the severest loss by exigency of sea-
son or other cause.

FoRTITUDE.-We pu blished some DAYS ago
a remarkable instance of fortitude in the
case of a cadet who went through the
manual, after passing bayonet through his
hand, and was SO quiet that his immediate
comrades were not aware of the accident till
after the parade. A friend mentions to us an
instance of equal fortitude on the part of a
young girl who, in her eagerness to 90 to
church one Sunday, broke her wrist by mad.
vertently closing the door upon it, yet, for
rear her parents might keep her at home. went
on with her broken wrist, and did not men.
tion the subject till her return from church.
Such boys and girls are worthy descendants
of Virginia heroes.
