NON-ENPLOsIvE OTL.-Fhe following
notice in reference 10 a e oil, for the
sale Of which the popular house Of
Messrs. ReinhaIdt i EetteT, - and IS
Monroe street, are sole agents, Is taken
from the New York WutchmdH. All
who have used this oil testify TO its SUI
periority aver all other kinds of burning

OF the many articles iE.paratiyeiy nee
essary for the comfort and convenience
Of every household, that of artificial
light takes the foremost rank. The use
OF oil for such purposes is one Of great
antiquity, anu history moth sacred and
proiane, tells US that it was called into
reguisiu0n By the people Of almost every
country and cline upon the face of the
globe. The light obtained from the oils
burned in the olden times was far from
being satisfactory. The discovery Of gas
led 10 great improvements, but timesOOn
demonstrated that it was not the
desiderstum 80 much looked for and
50 greatly desired. BY and by a new
era in artificial light was intro

out and it's chemical qualities thoroughly
understood, but as In gas IL was Objec-
tionable on a%ccOuntO of its explosive char
Aster and the offensive odOr which il
emitted. with the progress Of art and
science ID has been brought 10 a state Of
perfection. Various descriptions of pc
iruleum and burning fluid have beer put
upon The market, but that indicated in
our heading is without doubt the most
successful attempt which ever has been
made TO supersede the use of gas. Hav-
ing tested the excellent qualities Of the

as we'll as a duty, 10 call public attention
thereto, believing that as the execution
Of such 2 saifimposed tast we are con-
lerring a benefit upon all who may pc
ruse our remarks. We have stated that
The oils heretofore used for Illuminating
purposes were objectionable from their eX-
piosive character, the sniallnpss OF their
Illuminating powers, aud he smoke and
offensive smell which they sent forth.
Gas was also considered unsuitable for the
same reasons, as well as the great ex-
ueuse which 10 entailed upon the con-
sumeF. IL remained, therefore, for the
manufacturers 0f the n0n-eEplOsive oil
TO give Ia the public such an article AS
would be free from the defects and inn
UUrities 10 which We have referred, and
at the same time TO be supplied at a cost
below that charged for any other oil
used fOr Illuminating purposes. The
non-eXpiOsiVe OIL company set them
selves 10 work in good earnest, aud after
continued experiments at length sue

now offer TO the public. and a conf

rior TO any burning oil in use. We have
carefully examined the article, and
had IL burning on our table when
engaged in our editorial duties at
night. Our observation and experience

WINGED Us that il is truly non-explosive
hat il can be handled in any way free
from danger. In fact, it NAV be spilled
on the floor and a light applied thereto
without any injurious result therefrom.
In the next place, unlike all other burn
