It is not clogged by crust. It gives the best light, and pro- 
daces no odor. The short chimney is seldom broken by 
heat, and can be easily cleansed. The Burner can be fitted 
to all ordinary lamps. 
An attachment of small cost gives ready means of heating 
water, making it invaluable in the nursery or sick room.

THE AITOMATIC ORftAX. 
In presenting the Automatic Organ, we boldly announce 
the greatest triumph in musical instruments of the age. 
During the past half century, the French and Germans have 
manufactured reed instruments with double bellows, and 
two pedals for the feet to operate, but the want of the re- 
served or Exhaustion Eello\vs, (which is the only bellows 
used in our instruments), made it Impossible for them to 
produce the mellow, rich and musical tone for which our 
instruments are celebrated. 
Another objection to this method of blowing wm that 
both feet being occupied, no opportunity was offeriy for the 
management of the swell. Within the past two years, instru- 
ments consti-ucted on the European plan of "double blow- 
ers," have been manufactured in this country, and to coun- 
teract this difficulty (w.int of a swell) a lever has been pro- 
jected from the centre of the instrument, to act upon the 
swell, and operated by the knee. The inconvenience and 
contortion necessary to effect this object are disagreeable 
enough to a gentleman, but to a lady the use of such an ap- 
pendage is nearly impossible. 
Our Automatic device obviates the difficulty entirely, the 
simple act of blowing with more or less force giving the de 
sired increase or decrease in the volume of tone. We pre- 
dict for this Invention a brilliant future. 
THE MEIiODEOIV AND 
{SCHOOL. ORGAN. 
For seventeen years the superior excellence of our Melo- 
deons has not been questioned, and for two years past the 
enormous demand has made it impossible for us to meet our 
orders promptly. With our increased facilities, we feel war- 
ranted in assuring our patrons that their orders will be 
promptly met, and solicit a continuance of their patronage.

CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. 
All our instruments have upon the name board, in full, 
"GEO. A, PRIXCE & CO." When a dealer represents any 
other instrument as " the same as ours," it is usually a mere 
attempt to sell an Inferior instrument, on which he can make 
a hirge profit.

Opinion of Orange «7ndf1, Esq., Editor Amer- 
ican Agriculturist. 
It Is, in reality, a Clothes Saver.' a Time Saver.' and a 
Strength Saver! We think tlie machine more ihanjaays/or 
itself every year, in the saving of garments ! There are sev- 
eral kinds, nearlv alike in general constiuction. but we con- 
sider it important that the Whikger be fitted with COGS, 
otherwise a mass of garments mav clog the rollers, and the 
rollers upon the ciank-shaft slip, and tear the clothes. Our 
own is one of the fii-st made, and it is as good as new, alter 
nearly four years" constant use ,'
