AMERICAN & FOREIGN PATENTS


 D H. EDDY, Solicitor of Patents, Qate
 Aos Agent of the U. S. Patent Office, Wash ington, under the Act of 1887. .)-76 State St., opposite kilbySt., Boston.
 After an extensive practice of upwards oftwen- ty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States also in Great Britain, France and other foreign countries. Caveats, Specitica- tions, Assignments, and all Papers or Drawings
 for Patents, executed in liberal terms, and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works to determine the validity or util- ity of Patents or Inventions-and legal or oth- er advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furn. ished by remitting One Dollar. Assignments recorded at Washington.
 This Agency is not only the largest in New England but drought inventors have advan- tages for securing patents, or ascertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by if not immcasurably superior to, any that can be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials be 1 low given, prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL l AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the subscriber and | as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES OR ABILITY, he would add that he has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no oth. CT office of the kind the charges for profess sonal services so moderate. The immense prac. tice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate a vast collection
 of specifications and official decisions relative to patents. These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Eu- rope, render him able, beyond question: to of fer superior facilities for obtaining patents All necessity of a journey to Washington, to procurea patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.

EDMUND BURKE" late Commissioner of Patents. ''BosToN, February 8, 1858.
 "Mr R. H. Eddy has made for me TuIRTEE, applications on all but ONE ofwhich patents have | been granted, and that one is noc pending. Sucf unmistakable proof of great talent and abilit, l On his part leads me to recommend aH inventor
 to apply to him to procure their patents, and the
 may be sure of having the most faithful atten able charges.

A CHILD IN CoURT-On Thursday the
Judge Of Probate in Cincinnati, decided
that one Sylvester Gafney was entitled 70
the custody Of Mary Ann Butler his step
daughter, seven years Of age. Upon his 20
ing round to take his custody the child, who
had been sitting in the lap Of one Of the wo-
men present, drew back from him in apparent
terrors and in an imploring manner, and il
tears. called out to the Judge. "Oh, Judge
10 not give me to him" This caused con
siderable emotion, and Gafiney showing q
disposition to assert the right the Court had
declared in his behalf, several persons gath
cred around Mr.. Nicholas L0ngworth, the
wine king in an excited manner said, "let
the mob interfere r. but the first man
who attempted it was instantly taken hold
Of by the officers present and thrown out ot
the room. Mrs. Weightman, with whom
the child had been living, overcome by the
excitement Of the entire proceedings, tainted.
The little child wept bitterly, and clung 70
the friends that had adopted il. Many ri
the women wrung their hands, and declared
it would be ruined ifit left them The whole
courtroom was turned into scene Of contu-
sion; and the Judge, as a matter Of discre-
tion under the circumstances, directed Sher
if Kessler to take the custody Of the child
until further orders
