Caveats, Specifications, Assign ments, and all Papers Drawings for Patents exe- cuted in liberal terms. and with despatch. Resear- ches made into American or Foreign works to de- termine the validity utility of Patents or Inven- ons-and legal or other advice rendered in all mat ters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting One Dollar. Assign ments recorded at Washington.
 This Agency is not only the largest in New Eng. land, but through it inventors have advantages fo1 securing patents or ascertanng the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by. if not immeasuraby superior to, any that be offered them elsewhere The testimonials below given, prove that none if MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the sub scriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST ADvAN. FACES OR ABILITY, he would add that he has abun, dant reason to believe and can prove, that at nc other office of the kind the charges for profes- sional services moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years pas has bled him to accumulate vast collection of specif- cations and official decisions relative to patents These, besides his extensive library of legal and chanica works and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Europe render him able, beyond question: to offer superior facilities for ob taining patents.
 All necessity of journey to Washington, to pro- cure patent, and the usual great delay there, here saved inventors.

Its marked and immediate effect is observable in every instance on the Liver and Blood. Arousing the former to a healthy action, correcting all the secretions and purgng the latter of all its impurities and driving out all its humors to the surface. The Blood is truly the Lye. Cleanse that and you then in a position to restore the weak and langud patient to health.

DR JACOBS BIrrERs WILL CURE YOU IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE THEM Ac- CoRDING TO THE DIRECTIONS. One tablespoon ul usually is sufficient. Never take more than two, for the medicine, though agreeable and harmless is not designed as beverage, but medicine, brought forward by one of the first New England physicians, as adapted to the wants of the Human Family Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Erysipeas, Scrofula, General Debility, Costiveness, Headache-and all the result of impure Blood foul stomach and a torpid Liver Cleanse and arouse them and you have struck the axe at the root of the tree.

fg-we copy the following from the Springhe epublican, at the request of . subscriber, who ve spectfully comments it to the attention of cerss liishes in Litchield County.
 WANTED-A MINISTER. We have been without pastor
 Some eighteen months Or more, And though candidates are plenty
 We've had at least score All of them "ip-top' preachers,
 Or so their letters ran We're just as far as ever
 From settling on the man. The first who came among us
 By no means was the worst, But then we didn't think of him
 Because he was the first; It being quite the custom
 To sacrifice few Before the church in earnest
 Determines what to do. There was smart young fellow
 With serious, earnest way, Who, but for one great blunder,
 Had surely won the day; Who left so good impression,
 On Monday one or two Went round among the people To see if he would do. The pious, godly portion
 Had not fault to find, His clear and searching preaching They thought the very kind And all went smooth and pleasant, Until they heard the views Of some influential sinners
 Who rent the highest pews. On these his pungent dealing
 Made but 8 sorry hit; The coat of gospel teaching
 Was quite too tight fit. Of course his fate was settled Attend, ye parsons all And preach to please the sinners If you would get call. Next came spruce young dandy, He wore his hair too long; Another's coat was shabby,
 And his voice not over strong; And one New-Haven student
 Was worse than all of those We couldn't hear the sermon
 For thinking of his nose! Then wearying of candidates,
 We looked the country through, Mid doctors and professors,
 To find one that would do. And after much discussion,
 On whO should bear the ark, With toierable agreement,
 We fixed on Dr. Parke. Here then we thought 1t settled, But were amazed to find Our fattering invitation
 Respectfully declined. We turned to Dr. Hopkins
 To help us in the lurch, Who strangely thought that college Had claims above -four church, Next we despatched committees
 By twes and threes to urge The labors for Sabbath
 Of the Rev. Shallow Splurge. He came-a marked sensation,
 So wonderful his style, Followed the creaking of his boots, As he passed up the aisle. His tones were so afec citing,
 His gestures so divine, A lady fainted in the hymn,
 Before the secon4 line,- And on that day he gave us,
 In accents clear and loud, The greatest prayer ever addressed To an enlightened crowd. He preached double sermon, And gave us angels food, On such lovely topic
 "The joys of sdI:tude ;'' All full of sweet descriptions
 Of flowers and pearly streams, Of warbling birds, and moon-lit groves, And golden sunset beams. Of faith and true repentance,
 He nothing had to say; He rounded all the corners,
 And smoothed the rugged way; Managed with great adroitness
 To entertain and please, And leave the sinners conscience
 Completely at his ease. Six hundred is the salary,
 We gave in former days,- We thought it very liberal,
 And found it hard to raise But when we took the paper,
 We had no need to urge, To raise cool two thousand,
 For the Rev. Shallow Splurge. In vain were all the efforts
 We had no chance at all
