VESPER GAS LIGHT,

ID FAD what the New York Journal of Industry AC for December says "GAs.-We have paid our gas bill. and sent home the metre We have the Vesper Gas Light, and find it better and cheaper. Go to 379 Broadway and see for yourself"
 The New York Daily Museum says: "A new contrivance has been made for producing light in all respects equal to the city gas at cost of one-fOurth of candles one-hat of whale oil one fourth of burning fluid, and onethird of coal gas The apparatus is simple, cheap and ornamental, of styles similar to the usual gas fixtures. great pe- cuarty of this apparatus is its arrangement for fed the combustion on air. Air is about the cheapest commodity we get in New York, where susten- ance is so dear and when machine is able to sub- ssist on atmosphere and only just little alcohol and turpentine now and then to keep it's spirits up, may at once conclude nothing can be cheaper. The only s4 complete and its single burner produces all the illumination possibly want. It is called the Vesper Gas Light. Persons living in the coun- try can now have all the comfort of the most bril- liant light from real gas. We would recommend strangers to call and see this great invention For sale by J. W. CONE.

The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past has bled him to accumulate vast collection of specif cations and official decisions relative to patents These besides his extensive library of legal and chancal 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.
