vineyards, cellars &C., which the founders and
originators Of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we neednot dwell upon the
superior quality ftheir Wines, the reputation oi
the same among the American ls1shc being already
|identi6edwith unsurpassed exS6hence.
We beg particularly TO notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co.. in
full, by which it first became SO favorably KNOWN
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-

Sin: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with tho utmost care, during the past three years
upon ali the various paints and artificial prepara
tions for the preservation Of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, ,manufacturcdby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation o.
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation o.
any kind combines the same protective effect.

of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds

You are at liberty TO give full publicity TO the

Pure Native Iron.

The scientific world, up to the present time have
never deemed the proof which has been produced
n favor Of the existence Of native iron sufficiently
conclusive to settle the question But 1t seen 3
that the controversy is, at length, in fair way to
be ended, by the discovery Of the interesting fact
in chemistry, or mneralogy, that pure native iron
is no longer fiction, but reality. Mr. Coppr-
ger OF the Colonization Society," in Philadelphia
says the North American, hns received specimen
of iron from Bassu county, Republic Of Lbeiia,
accompanied by the following communication;
"Isend you piece of African ore, just as dugf from

analysis, by Dr. A. I Hayes, a wen known and
esteemed scientific chemist Of Boston, who pro-
nounces il, by conclusive proofs TO be true ma

manufactured iron must Of necessity contain. Its
character as native iron, VIC understand Is fully
admitted by Professor Silliman and 9th ,r most

and practical Importance. DIR. Hayes is preparing
