From the New York Observer.I

We have had in use for months past enc Of
Vests Pumps. which has given Us more sat-
isfaction as force and lifting pump than any
We have ever used. IL is one of great power,
and well adapted for ships decks, mines. fac
tories, green houses, graperies, &C., &c. The
Mining Chronicle and Railway Journal says:
IL is recommended for its extreme simplicity
Of construction, groat strength, and conse-
quent durability and cheapness of repair
There is no stuihns box-the pressure being
held by cup packing, like that upon the
working piston, working in a cylinder, fitted
for the purpose within the upper air hau,ber--
which We think great improvement. as stuffing
is so liable to be deranged, and leak under
strong pressure, to say nothing of the loss by
friction incident thereto. II has also two air
chambers: thus the action of the valve is
cushioned upon both sides by air-pr, venting
water Ina MINER and vacuum thump. The valves
are very accessible. and simply and cheaply
repaired. They work much easier than any
pump we have ever seen; the 4 inch cylinder
being worked by children in wells 100 feet
deep, and as they are extremely cheap as well
as simple and strong, We freely recommend
them.
