The establishment of the above firm, and
partially learned the modss operdHdi Of
manufacturing this delightful beverage,
Three strongly built brass cylinders are
PLACED horizontally side by side. In cyl
;nder No. /, a quantity of white marble
dus: is placed. and a quantity of pure
water added. and the whole thoroughly
GixtH. In an upper cylinder is placed q
quantity of vitrol. which is so regulated
by q valve IS TO allows portion Of tie
yltrol 10 escape into the cylinder below,
which coming in contact with the mixture
OF marble dust and water. at once gener-
stes quantity of carbonic acid gas-the
amount made being designated by an in
seniously constructed gauge. which shows
when sufficient pressure has been obtained.
In cylinders Nos. 2 and 8, quantity OF
pure water, favored with lemon or sarsa-
parilla, is placed, and thoroughly mixed
BY the revolving fans inside. An escape
cock turned on a pipe leading from cylin-
der No. l, allows the gas to pass into cyl
!nders Nos. 2 and ., which irnpregnates
the water and causes efferyescence an
other cock upon being turned allows the
impregnated syrup to pass into small bot
ties, and powerful lever forces the cork
in so tightly that the gas can not escape,
and is held in place by small tin clasps
that upon removal allows the cork TO be
forced out. The whole machinery for the
manufacture of Soda is of excellent make,
and bolted with massive iron. Some peo-
pie suppose that this fluid is unhealthy,
but on the contrary, we are assured by
good physicians, that a moderate quantity
Of the article is decidedly good for the
human system.

proportion of whom are ladies with wants
peculiar 10 that sex. Of course numerous
palatial stores have been built which are
filled with glossy fabrics to suit their cos
mopohtan tastes, and in no place in Viz
sinia, can a larger, richer, more fashion,
aole stock Of female " tixins be found for
sale at reasonable prices, than at y.
