 Being much interested in the allusion to the introduction of gas into StaffordSpring for Illuminating purposes, and being well acquainted with Mr. H. Bowen and his new process for generating heating as well as Illuminating gas, will send you general statement for publication, and give partic- ulars for cost to any parties who may think of organizing for the purpose of it's intro duction into your village Its beauty, cheapness, and safety as an illuminator is settled. and it's economy for heating pur- poses is easily demonstrated. At its first introduction into village pipes and their connections should be arranged for both purposes at the same time. Every house. wife will be more than pleased to save the dust of ashes and coal, and to know that in hot weather and at other times heat may be regulated, that is, let on and shut off at tpleasure. Gas will be connected with the stoves and ranges, and only few min- utes' use will be required in some parts of the day, and the expense will. be trifing compared with wood and ooal
 MIR. BowEN's STATEMENT OF NAPHTHA-GAs.
 The cheapest material known, capable of producing artificial light, is one of the pro- ducts of petroleum, viz naphtha of 8 cer- tain grade It is now being made in such quantities that the production far exceeds the demand. In it's Illuminating qualities it is superior to the best kerosene oil, yet it's mar ket price is less than one half that of oil, be- cause no cheap, effective and unobjectionable method of utilizing it for producing light has heretofore been known. f'+.I
 This cheap naphtha is a mixture of parts possessing different qualities. These parts, if separated, would each have market value greater than the mixture. A simple, effective and inexpensive process has recently been discovered, by which this separation can be effected, and gas, of high Illuminating power, conveyed to separate receptacle to be after wards disposed of at higher rates than the original cost of the mixture. By this new process we have the following results:
 1st-The cost of the gas is less than by any other known process.
 2d-The process can be used equally we'll to light single building or town.
 3d--By one arrangement gas of high illu- minating power, which will not condense in the pipes, is produced from the lighter parts of the naphtha, while the remainder, which is naphtha of lower gravity, is conveyed to separate receptacle; no attention is requir- ed except to keep supply of naphtha in the reservoir, which is buried in the ground. This arrangement is the most convenient one for single buildings.
 4th-The producer can be so arranged as to make the heavy naphtha which is left of any gravity desired, or to use it up entirely in making gas. This arrangement is the most advantageous one for supplying towns.
 5th-When used to supply towns only a small gas holder is needed (to equalize the pressure) as the gas is made as fast as it is consumed.
 6th-The cost of the plant is insignificant, compared with the cost of the plant of any other practical process.
 The exceeding simplicity of this process, its perfect safety, the absence of all machinery requiring attention, the comparatively low cost of the necessary tanks and pipes, and, last but not least, the cheapness of the ma- terial for making gas, will commend it most decidedly to all who are interested in the matter of light.

 ''No icense' in Stafford is not 8 success. Every observing man, woman and child knows that intoxicating liquors are sold here in vio- lation of law, and most any one can name a half dozen places where it can be easily got in the borough. Since this town voted to make liquor selling crime Gas it certainly is, whether the vote of the town so declares it or not), there has been no efforts made by the town, or any church, temperance organiza- tion, or any individual in the town to enforce the law, and the wonder is not that we have liquor dealers amongst us that defy law, but that there is not naose of them and it is no wonder that men say, ''There is as much i- quor sold now as under icense," and, ''f the law is not enforced any better than it has been shall vote for license another year. ' It is no wonder that the crime of liquor sell ing fourishes in this place, when man that is dependent upon the patronage of this con- munity considers it his highest duty to leave all else and hasten to notify these law break. CTS of the advent of the prosecuting agent and then openly make his boast ''that he will do it every time," We plainly see that nc license vote and prosecuting agent alone cannot stop liquor selling. Some one has got to do something; some one has got to sec something some one has got to say some | thing one man cannot do it, nor half { dozen men, but every man and woman that knows that this traffic is a crime against mar and sin against God, and feels that they want to help save the world from sin and its effects, has something to do and say about this gigantic crime of crimes And when the protesting, God-fearing men and women o this town, or any other town, take hold o this evil conscientiously and in earnest it vii go and not till then. Let us all study tht &. s. lesson for July 1st- with this work ii mind, and make personal application of tht | AoSU \obAJ foA6c,
