THE Gas QUESTION AGA1S-Wc referred few
days since to the supposed inferior quality of the
gas, and invited the attention of those concerned
in its manufacture, to the subject. We did so in
unfriendly spirit, and solely with view to the
public good. That the light We were using at the
date of the appearance of the article in question
was inferior to that we had previously used there
could be no doubt-we could not lie deceived as to
that but it did not occur to that the defect
could exist in the burners. We we're using Glca'
sons patent burners, which had scarcely been
fortnight in use, and which, when first put up,
afforded beautiful light. We were induced
however to test the matter upon the assurance of
the Superintendent and other officers of the Gas
Works, that they manufacturing the same
article rs heretofore. and accordingly on Saturday
night, removed some of onr burners. cleaned and
restored them, when they gave out the same beau
tifu fame that we had admired, when We first nd
opted them
We make this statement in Justice to the Gas
Company, and for the benefit of those who have
had similar experience with ourselves in the
of the new burner, which has been adopted extern
sively in this community. They are easily I'M
screwed and restored
INTERESTING TO INyALIDs.-Some time ago, DR..
s. ID. Hopkins editor of the Fincastle Democrat,
submitted to us very ingenious and excellent
contrivance in the shape of model bed-stead,
whereby the occupant could be raised without in
convenience or suffering. whilst the bed was being
changed or made up: or, to vary the mnnotony
and pain of lying for great length of time i'll
one position, could raise the body and head, low
ering the feet and limbs SO that the patient could
be placed in half recumbent wholly sitting
posture, without the effort usually necessary to
change the attitude.
We perceive that the Doctor has fully com pie
ted his invention, and now offers it to the public.
1t has received the unqualified endorsements OF
DR.. Stribling, Superintendent of the Virginia. Lu-
matte Asylum at Staunton, together with a num-
Der of other intelligent physicians. 1t is unques-
tonably. n most useful and admirable invention.
