wlaner,a Patent wash-Tub.

W. are we'll aware that nearly. all
Patent Rights are regarded with great
distrust by a great many people, but TIE
Paten. Wash-Tub, We are sure, will COM
mend itself to the favor of every person,
especially the woinen. We have tried
this valuable invention in our own fam
lily, and are fully satisfied with it. 1t
is simple in its constructiou-no ma
chinery about it, and cheap. 1t will do
Ia an hour as much washing as it would
take a whole day to do by the old pro
cess. We ire sure 10 family will be
without one of these Tubs. Tubs like
this ono, emphatically stand Oh
their own bottoms" Mr.. J. R. SQUIRE,
of this town, has purchased the privi-
lege of making and selling the Tubs in
this County.
The Genesce Farmer, one of the most
ably conducted Agricultural papers in
the United States, notices it fully, as
follows
Of all the contrirances for washing or
cleansing clothes, that recently intro
duced into our city by DR. Hoyt, of Au-
rora, Erie county, IN this State; is, in
our way of thinking, the best. From
its perfect simplicity, ease, and excel
lent manner with which, by the aid of
one of these inventions, this most labo-
rious though very necessary work is ac-
compIished, we should pronounce it far
in advance of the old, if not of any at
tempt ever invented fer doing this spe-
aics of labor. In using this language,
heightened or exaggerated as to some it
NAV appear, we 10 no more than adopt
the sentiments OF many &C our citizens
who have tried the article, and who tsye
without exception spoken Of it in much
the same terms.
The plan adopted by Mr.. Wisncr in
his patent is very simple. net differing
essentially from that of the common
wash-tub and board, 20 which in form
and appearance it bears a most striking
resem blance and it it is to this fact
principally-this conformity in the con-
struction of the machine so simple, nat
ural, long-tried and wcll-approved prin-
ciples-is due, in our judgment, one of
the chief advantages Of the whole thing.
Divested as it is of all machinery in the
shape of wheels, cranks. or otherwise, it
cannot get out of order. For the same
reason, we do moi see how it can we'll be
simplifed or improved.
Among its qualities We would men,
ton one other, respecting the amount Of
labor required for Washing. The wo-
man only employs it in the movement of
a small lever or handle, neatly fitted for
the purpose, and this is about all that
has to be done in the entire work of
cleansing the clothes.
To show what can be done by the aid
Of this little contrivance, the tests have
been somewhat numerous and varied
We can only say, thatw we have been ere
dibly informed that a washing can be
performed in onc-quarter the time usu
ally employed, and with such essc 9th
erwise that q boy or girl of twelve or
fourteen yeass of age is competent to the
a performance of the entire task.
Mr. Nisner having dispostd of his
right in tie above tub, has 10 further
interest in it whatever. DIR. Hoyt and
his logally-authorized agents are now the
only proper persons with whom to deal
and in their hands, We feel confident il
must soop come into general use.
Ladies should lose no time in looking
into the merits of this Tub. An exam.
~ination of it will speak more than any,
king NC could say iu ite behalf.
