petual fountain that a gallon OF water
will supply for "a hours, and throw up
nearly a Ia of an inch stream. He
claims that he has discovered new
principle for the elevation of water, and
the exhibition of the fountain was most
satisfactory. 1t promises to be valu-
able improvement for places not sup
piled with water, as it can be set in
window or parlor and the air be made
delightfully."- cool, and can be made of
any size required. This is Brandon
invention, of which the town may we'll
be proud,
MesSrs Mott & Vail had choice and
Notify assortment of boots and shoes,
arranged to suit the pink toed pedals of
babies on up to the corny feet of gouty
old bachelors, an opportunity to exam
inc which the crowd of passers by were
were eager to a Faa themselves of.
A fine assortment of improved skates
by Luce g. Smith attracted our atten-
tion and made us wish for winter and
fun. The improvement consists of dis
pensing with the old screws that made
holes in your boots-the heel fitting in
TO an iron bed-a change in the shape,
and marble joint under the ball of the
foot by means of which the skate is
held more firmly in position and much
easier to the foot. Those who have
tried the skates speak in the highest
terms of these Improvements. AS skat-
ing now takes rank as national amuse-
ment, we hope your readers and the
public will avail themselves of these ad-
vantages.
