BATLEY'S BUTTER TUB.

BosToN, Dec. 49, 1868.
A. r. BAILEY, DEAR SIR.
The time has come when the advantages of
your tub are apparent nearly all that we are
receiving (unless late fall or winter make) is
strong on top which would not be the case if put
up i'll your tub. If there are any nice daircs in
your vicinity put up in your tub you may pay 5
cents per IT.. more for them than for Summer
diaries put up in the old style tub. In fact we
don't want any Summer diaries at any price in
the old tubs. We can buy common butter here
lower than you can up there. We think Pou-
try is dull this week, can't tell how it may be at
Christmas. Yours truly

VALUABLE ISvsNTIoN.-We take pleasure
In announcing the fact that a safety stove for
railway cars, ETC., has been invented Cy Mr.. A
A Whee1ock, an ingenious and enterprsing
citizen of Washington, which bids fair TO re-
move efectually one of the most horrible dan
gers OF travel in this country. The merits
claimed for this invention, which is covered
by letters patent, are, that ii will increase
rather than diminish the heat made by any
other stove from given amount of fuel: tina.
the air IN the car Will be purified by the water
useo In the operations OF the stove; and that
any accident which changes its position or in.
terferes with its working will at once ex;in-
guIsh the fire, so that there can be no danger
of the car taking fire from this source,-im
portant and valuable advantages, as All will
see.
A working specimen Of the stove,-which is
simple In construction, compact in form and
size, and neat In appearance.-may be seen at
the grocery store of Mr.. Wheelock No 81
Third street west, where all persons interested
In the subject are IN vited TO call and examine
II. Those who have seen II consider il a decided
success; and, If il has half the advantages
claimed for 1t, 1t certainly ought to be in every
railway car in the country. We are pleased to
hear that Mr.. w. is taking measures to have il
brought into general use.

his God. himself and his superior officer He
bad right also TO give his opinion, and u o
man bad right to 20 deliberately 10 attack
him with horsewhip or cowhide, and, as far
as be could, he would put stop TO the use of
such instruments in such q manner and he
