January 20, 1854.
To C. Z. Detmold President ~ j. Zinc Co., " Y.
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-
tons for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation Of
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this mpor
tant subject to the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks al
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anC metal plates which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
Of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes
You are al liberty TO give full publicity TO the
above stated facts which of too much impor-
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. ] am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES JARVIS,
Inspector U. s. Navy Yard, Gosport, Va.

Mr.. Charles Enger, heretofore sole agent in the

who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention Of the public TO the subjn.ned

The Messrs. Hedsleck IL Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim TO be alone enabled TO send TO this
country the genuine Heidseck u Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole propretors 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.
We beg particularly TO notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidseck & Co.. in
full by which it first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH

rior colts by the famous Trustee,
sire of the late Mr.. Gibbons FASH
ion out of Bonnets of Blue. These
colts are respectively one, two,
three, and four years old They
are out of a well-bred trotting mare,
tina, has done her mile in 2i0. We
think these colts will all prove fast
ones. As getter of runners and
trotters, Trustee has proved ole of
the best horses imported into this
country; and what adds greatly to
the value of his stock is, they are
docile and good tempered.
The thing, however, which Mr..
Watson apparently takes. the most
pride in, is his Shetland and Welsh
ponies. OF these he has a large
stock, imported and reared by him
self. We could select from this
stock about a dozen breeding mares
and a couple of stations, which ii
would be pretty difficult to surpass
in this country. 1t is amusing to
see these diminutive creatures, ca
pering about in droves of various
colors over the farm. Some, full
grown, are not more than three feet
high, while others are full four feet
or more. The former would be a
good match for buffalo calf in har-
ness, or a stout Newfoundland dog
under the saddle.
Considerable quantities of fruit
were formerly produced on this farm,
but part of the orcharding being
near to large village, it was rob-
bed every season, and the grass and
other crops beneath the trees destroy
ed. This compelled Mr.. w. at length
very reluctantly to cut down tho
trees, for so long as they stood he
could realize nothing from his land.
The farm buildings and stock
yards are well arranged here, and
very commodions. The fences are
in excellent order, and the mansion
and grounds around are ample and
in good taste The view from the
house is varied and beautiful. Ii ex-
tends up and down the East River,
over a part of Long Island, the low
or valley of the Bronx, aud the hills
around in Westminster. 1t is de-
lightful country residence.
Mr.. Watson deserves much cred
i for his improvements on and a.
bout his farm, and we are glad to
see him take so much interest in
them. He generally devotes one
day out of the week to his farm, al
though still actively engaged in mer-
camille pursuits in this city.
