S VALUABLE FuRSAcE-"e were
shown the other day model and Illus
trated circular of the Bellman Il Carver
Champion Hot Air Furnace, for the
purpose of heating churches, private res
licences, and all public buildings, by
their polite and gentlemanly travelling
agent, Mr. Chas d. Smith, of Hagers-
town. In looking over the circular we
see it has been adopted by some of the
most prominent men OF Maryland and
Pennsylvania. They guarantee 1T to
give entire satisfaction. 1t has one de-
cidcd advantage over all other Furnaces
as its proper fuel is the ordinary black
smith coal. 1t is recommended by all
who have adopted it for evenness OF
heat Persons wishing anyintormation
can get the same by calling on Mr. JAS
