From the New York Observer

- We have had in use for months past one OF
Vests Pumps, which has given US more sat
isfaetion as force and lifting pump than any
We have ever used. 1t is 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-
-quent durability and cheapness of repair
There is no stuf6Rg box--the pressure being
held by a cup packing, like that upon the
working piston, working in cylinder, fitted
for the purpose within the upper air chamber
which We think great improvement, as stufling
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 of the valve is
cushioned upon both sides by air-prt venting
water,hammer and vacuum thump. The valves
are very accessible. and simply and cheapiy
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
IS simple and strong, We freely recommend
them. .
