 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 it. It is fully equal to the ordinary Gas light of cities in general.
 From it's construction we consider perfectly safe we regard it with great favor, most account of its cheapness, and as great nvenience. It de- serves all tine praise that has been bestowed upon it.
