to speak, but declares that, yet, she has never
heard one exhibit any talen; above very ordinary

The Wood-Gas Controversy.
RATHER sharp hut distant firing

RATHER sharp but distant firing In
IA carried on by some persons interested in
Wood-Gas Patents and we perceive that the
smoke Of their cannon has somewhat obscured
their vision. Dr. G. G. Page, as the attorney for
w. L. Mcconnell, having presented his claims
through our columns, l.. X. Breisach, OF this city,
has presented those OF Pettenkofer 81 Rutland, OF
Bavaria-he being their assignee-through the
columns Of the DAILY Times Of the Sd instant. He
states that the first patent for the Bavarjan inven
ton was issued on February "a, 1851, an authen-
ticated copy of which has been fled in our Patent
Office; also, that the claims Of his assignors were
filed in the Office, TO protect their rights, more
than year ago. As no patent can be obtained
for making or using Wood-Gas, the disputed
point relates 10 the apparatus, which embraces
the relocating OF the gas-passng it over a red-hot
surface in its way TO the cooler-aher ii is gene
rated this is clearly stated in Dr. Pages letter
on page so. Now, as Mcconnell claims 10 have
invented the apparatus for relocating Wood Cas-
as far back as lS49-two years previous 10 the
granting fthe Bavarian patent-and as he OBJ
tanned a patent for the same, on the 26th day OF
September last, although contested by Pettenko
fer a. Rutland, we cannot well conceive who L. r
Breisach wants TO frighisn, by declaring, through
the columns OF the Times, that he will prosecute
the violators OF the Bavarian invention. He gives
this notice TO all who take interest in the intro
duction of this invention but, in doing So he for
got to present any fact upon which the public can
rely, 10 show what patent rights he possesses.
When he again writes 10 inform the public that he
has certain patent rights, and will prosecute those
who infringe them, we hope he will he so good as
10 state what these rights are, that the public
NAV know what he means.-SersntJfe Amerrcan
