OI.A7K,9 New Typographical Maj Of Litchfield County. Conn.

nERHAPS most of the people ot the County are
 already aware that for some time past new typographical Map of Litchtield County, Conn. has been in course of preparation by R. Clark, the we'll known publisher of Wharton street. Philadelphia.
 The work has been delayed longer than was at frst expected, for two causes-one the destruction by fire of the engraving of the Fairfield County Map work which was commenced previous to this. mak- ing 1t necessary to have it executed the second te It was also intentionally delayed for time on ac- count of the Arrangement of busnessfgcnerally.
 These two obstacles now being out of the way the business of the country having generally revived and assumed healthy and cheerful tone we take this opportunity of saying to the business men and citizens of Ltchfed County generally that the sur veys have all been completed. by and under the su- perintendence of G. M Hopkins, Jr., Civil Engineer and that the work will be pushed forward with the utmost vigOr, and brought to as early completion as is consistent with the accuracy of the map.
 To those who have already subscribed, we would gay that before bringing it out the surveys will all be thoroughly revised, and any alterations which may have taken place, such as change of ownership laying out of streets, erection of buildings &c., will be carefully noted.
 The map when finished will be one of the most complete ever published. It will show the County it is in 1859 the boundaries of all the towns and their relative size on the scale of inch and half to the mile. The roads will all be shown with the location of every house, and the of the owner Also. the different manufacturing establishments the rivers, lakes mountains railroads, and even the enaler streams VIII De carefully shown Separate plans of all the villages will also appear on the mar gin of the map. There will also be table of dist ances showing the distance from the centre of every Postofce village to the centre of every other viii lage containing Post-ofice. There will also be a Business Directory for those who patronize the work The population of the different towns will also be shown, with many other valuable statistics.
 While the survey is being revised. all who have not yet ordered map will have an opportu nity to examine the plan and subscribe--an opportunity which hope will be appreciated as there will be no more maps manufactured than the exact number ordered.
 A limited number of Views of some of the princi- pal buildings of the County will appear the mar gin of the map at extra charge to those that der them. G. w. TAcKABERRY, Agent

 NORFOLK, Nov. A, 1858. Dear Sir am using with great satisfaction the Vesper Gas Light procured of you and have no hesi- tation in recommending it as a very economical Light, fully equal to that of Coal Gas in brlliancy and one with which nearly all will be pleased after trial. It IS not troublesome to keep in order and regard its use as safe. ROBBINS BATTELL
 BROOKLYN, N. .Y., Sept, 1858. 70 he Nsper Gas Light Co.,:
 It gives me great pleasure to say that we have used one of the Vesper Gas Lights in our family for some eight or nine months past, with unqualified satisfaction.
 We have the city gas in part of the house, and therefore have a fair opportunity to compare the two. The Brooklyn City Gas is unusually brilliant, and the Vesper Light is very nearly equal to it. It is fully equal to the ordinary Gas light of our cities in general.
 From it's construction consider it perfectly safe We regard it with great favor, most on account of its cheapness, and great convenience. It de- serves all the praise that has been bestowed upon it.
