WISXRR'S PATENT WASH-TCB. 



Of all the contrivances for washing or cleansing 

 clothes, that recently introduced into our city by Dr. 

 HoYT, of Aurora, Erie county, in this Slate, is, in our 

 way of thinking, the best. From its perfect sim- 

 plicity, ease, and excellent manner with which, by the 

 aid of one of these inventions, this most laborious 

 though very necessary work is accomplished, we should 



order. For the same reason, we do not see how it 

 can well be simplified or improved. 



Among its qualities we would mention one other, 

 respecting the amount of labor required for washing. 

 The woman only employs it in tlie movement of a 

 small lever or handle, neatly fitted for the purpose, 

 and this is about all that has to be done in the entire 

 work of cleansing the clothes. 



To show what can be done by the aid of this little 

 contrivance, the tests have been somewhat numerous 

 and varied. We can only say, that we haye been 

 credibly informed that a washing can be performed 

 in one-quarter the time usually employed, and with 

 such ease otherwise that a boy or girl of twelve or 

 fourteen years of age is competent to the perform- 

 ance of the entire task.

pronounce it far in advance of the old, if not of any 

 attempt ever invented for doing this species of labor. 

 In using this language, heightened or exaggerated as 

 to some it may appear, we do no more than adopt 

 the sentiments of many of our citizens who have tried 

 the article, and who have without exception spoken 

 of it in much the same terms. 



The plan adopted by Mr. "Wisxer in his patent is 

 very simple, not differing essentially from that of the 

 common wash-tub and board, to which in form and 

 appearance it bears a most striking resemblance; and 

 it is to this fact principally — this conformity in the 

 construction of the machine to simple, natural, long- 

 tried and well-approved principles — is due, in our 

 judgment, one of the chief advantages of the whole 

 thing. Divested as it is of all machinery in the shape 

 of wheels," cranks, or otherwise, it cannot get out of 



Mr. WisxEK having disposed of his right in Wfi 

 above tub, has no further interest in it whatever- 

 Dr. HoYT and his legally-authorized agents are now 

 the only proper pei-sons with whom to deal ; and in 

 their hands, we feel confident it must soon come into 



general use.

ON STABLE VENTILATION. 



It is a fact, that at the present time, there are great 

 numbers of horses affected with coughs, colds, and . 

 other diseases of the respiratory organs. This fact 

 we must state in connection Tsith another, namely, 

 the affected animals are those kept in stables, not 

 those kept out at pasture. Many people are aston- i 

 ished that at this season as they say so many cases of 

 illness are found, but they do not always take care to
