From the New York Observer.I

We have had in use for months past ono Of
Vests Pumps. which has given us more sat
isfaction as force and lifting pump than any
We have ever used. 1t il one of great power,
and well adapted for ships decks, mines. fac
tories, greenhouses, graperies, &C., &c. The
Mining Chronicle and Railway Journal says:
1t is recommended for its extreme simplicity
Of construction, groat strength, and conse
quens durability and cheapness of repair
There is no stuffng box-the pressure being
held ny a cup packing, like that upon the
working piston, working in cylinder, fitted
for the purpose within the upper air chamber
which We think a 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. 1t has also two air
chambers: thus the action CT the valve is
cushioned upon both sides by air-prt venting
waser-hammer 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 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.

winter, exposed to the North. W est wind coming

nor were we unable at any time to pump water

She undersigned, having to use "West's I'm
proved Pumps" cheerfully recommend them
as simple, durable and powerful in raising and
throwing water, and for their ease of action,
security against frost, and low price, we believe
tn, IN superior to all others.
