YAsKEs NoTIoSs.-An Ohio Yankee, Erastus N, bv

is inserted between them that the largos. candle is
ready received while the smallest is tightly held aud
may be reversed and violently shaken without dropping
the candle. Attached is pair Of snuffers, very SIMPLE
and cheap yet efficient, and the whole might be made
very cheap yet very effective.
Mr.. NJ showed also new Button also Tbimble OF his
invention and offered to submit inspection various
