THE attention Of our readers is called TO the
adveriisemeatof MrsW. H.start, in another
column. We learn from several Of our citizens,
who have used the :. Patent Spring Weather
Strips" that they are entirely satisfactory, and
answer fully all that Ia claimed for .hen by the
pateniee. They are cheap. durable, and must
be almost invaluable to persons having leaky
doors. Mr.. Start, we believe, has already re-
ceived large number Of orders for supplying
these strips.
