THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE ACE
Preserrfng the Dead.-Hessrs. Harvey s. Mari,
and in use at their establishment one of the
most valuable and needed inventions that has
been placed before the public for years. 1t Is a
corpse preserving casket, intended to take the
ably been as universally condemned Is any ar
ticle used in the melancholy business of prepa-
ring the dead for burial. Heretofore 1t has been
necessary to carry tubs Of Ice to the house, the
corpse covered with sheet, and the Ice packed
in, In fact. upon the body. Frequently the lag
ged edges have torn the skin, and caused much
complaint from the borrowing friends. By the
use Of the casket under notice all this trouble Is
done away with. The casket was patented by
DR.. A. q. Reed In March, 1859, and after Il had
been duly tested, Messrs: Harvey & MARI Sc
use it in the District Of Columbia. "
A personal examination Of the invention en-
ables as to speak ~ follows:-It Is q handsome
walnut casket, about two feet in depth, the In
terror lined with zinc, the sides of the box being
composed Of air-cells o. compartments, over
which the zine lining il stretched perfectly
smooth. The top Of the casket Is peculiar In
which is placed the ice. The corpse may be
dressed in line silk or broadcloth, In readiness
Tor the coffin, and can then be placed in the pre-
serving casket, and kept in perfect condition
Iof rs long time as may be required, with no
more expense than with the old Ice box.
AND here il may be remarked that the ice Is
srIxnged In the receptacles before being taken
- isSt 80 tnoy naving bumcient capacity
70 last TWO days without Q renewal. The ice
does not touch the body, and, owing to the me-
cunar arrangements, the finest fabrics that NAV
pc on tne remains are not injured. Frequent
tess nave SHOWN that the temperature can be
constantly maintained at % degrees.
The great benefit in this Invention Il its clean
illness, compaetness, and the readiness with
which II can be used: waste-hose are so ar
ranged as 70 90 away with that doleful dripping
always to be heard when q body Ia laid in ice.
When the lid Of the box ia fastened over the
corpse, glass plate in the lid reveals the fea-
lures Of the deceased the same as i'm a metallic
coffin.
Altogether this casket is one of the great in
ventions Of the age, and We are glad to know
that 1t has been secured by those ENERGETIC gen
uemen, Messrs. Harvey s. Mari, who, Is the
its use may be obtained. A visit to their estab-
lshment win satisfy all Of the great improve
ment this casket makes in preserving the dead
for burial. &

Of Nassau, but succeeded in getting OFF, with
some damage. The Lewis brought five Cubans
