A CARD. 



J. R. Newell would inform his patrons and the public, 

 thiit he has ili^jjoseii of all his interest in the Agricultural 

 VVarehout-e, to Joseph Breck, & Co. In taking leave of a 

 business he has so long conduried, he desires to express Ins 

 gratitude to his customers and friends, for their liberal patron- 

 age. As he retires fi*oni an employment, whicli has been so 

 connected with Agriculture, he hopes that, by the improve- 

 ment and inventions of many valuable implements, he has con- 

 tributed, in no small degree, to the advancement and prosper- 

 ity of the agricultural interests of our country.

Patent Lamp Apparatus for Heating "Water,

This appa"atus has been louud veiy useful in smnll fam- 

 ilies, ami for such persons as may wish to prepare tea or 

 coflee-drink, cook oysters, &.C.. in their own apartments wi;h- 

 out the trouble of a wood or coal fi.e. It is very convenient 

 in public houses, cofl<?e-houscs, and other places where it is 

 wished to keep any hot liquid constantly on hand. Besides 

 answering all the purposes of what is called the nurse lamp il 

 may be made to boil from one pint to a gallon of water, by a 

 method, which in many eases will be found the most econom- 

 ical and expeditious, which can I e devised. 



This apparatus has been much usrd and highly recom- 

 mended in writing by all, or nearly all the druggists in Bos- 

 ton, whose certificates of approbation may be seen at the 

 office of the New Englaud ]■■ armor. No. 52 North Market 

 Street, where Mie apparatus is for sale. It may also be
