This water is inferior to none in the State, as it
Ids in solution sulphuretcd hydrogen, iodine, and
ignesia, imparting tone to the system, and acting
a powerful alterative, as numerous visiters can
itify, having been visited for the last fifty years,
d, had it not been for its contracted accommoda ns,
must have been among the first watering
ices in the Union. For the last five years, the
provements have been increased so as to accomodate
between two and threo hundred visiters.
The proprietor has endeavored to put this water5
place on a footing with the most fashionable and
mfortable places of the sort, in a plain style, and
11 use every exertion in his power to make his
liters comfortable.
It is easy of access for all the Atlantic cities. Perns
leaving Baltimore in the morning cars will nr'e

nch will be in readiness to take them immediately

The proprietor feels thankful for the encouragetnt
he has received from the public, and will use

EXTENSION OF PATENTS.
[circular.] * (
Patient Ornci, June '21, 1845. e
rllE undersigned, constituted by law u board to I1
decide upon applications for the extension of "
latents, have adopted the following suggestions and 11
ules, for the benefit of thoae persona who may P
lereufler apply for extensiona. '
The questions which arise on each application for 1
in extension are? I'
1. Is the invention novel.' ,
2. Is it uieful?
3. Is it valuable and important to the public?
4. Has the inventor been adequately remunerated a
or his lime IIIIU expense III oi'igiiiuiiiig unu pcnrci- ~
ngit?
5 Has he used due diligence in introducing; iiis
mention into generul use?
The two firsf questions will lie determined upon
he result of nn-examination in the Patent Office;
s will also the third, to some extent.
To enable the board to come to a correct conclu- 8
ion in regard to the third point of nquiry, the apilicunt
should, if possible, procure the testimony of
lersons disinterested in the invention, which teslinony
should be taken under oath.
In regard to the fourth and fifth points of inquiry, 8
n addition to his own oath showing his receipts and c
ixpenditures on account of the invention, by which
ts value is to be ascertained, the applicant should
diow, by the testimony of disinterested witnesses |
hi oath, that he has taken all reasonable measures
to introduce his invention into general use, and that, I
without default or neglect on his part, he hue failed 1
to obtain from the use and sale of the invention a 1
reasonable remuneration for the time, ingenuity, '
and expense bestowed on the same, anil the introduction
thereof into use* 1
The report of the examiner upon the novelty and '
utility of the invention, will he ready fifteen days I
before the day appointed for the hearing, which will I
be open for inspection at the Patent Office; copies of
which will he furnished to all parties interested, if |
desired, on jiayntcnt of the usual fees for copies. ?
In case of opposition by any person to the exten- J
sion of a patent, both parties may take testimony,
each giving reasonable notice to the other of the c
time and place of taking said testimony , which shall *
be taken according to the rules prescribed by the 1
Commissioner of Patents in cases of interference.
All arguments submitted to the board must be in
writing.
In conclusion, the undersigned would remark,
generally, that a monopoly of nis invention is se- (
cured by law to the inventor for the term of four- 1
teen years. This is done with a view to compensate
him for his time and exricnsc in originating and
perfecting it. At the end of the time for whicli his
patent runs, his monopoly should cease, and the invention
become public, property, unless he can show
good reasons to the contrary. The presumption is
always against his application; and if he cannot
show that his invention is novel, useful, valuable, '
and important to the public, and that, having made 1
all reasonable effort to introduce it into general use,
lie hus not been adequately remunerated for his '
time and expenses in discovering and perfecting it, f
the board cannot grant an extension.

OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direction
of Francis J. Trouhat, esq., of Philadelphia;
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Mo
f< 11 ,.f I'iO ul.ll rirl,
Th|s work contains the best productions of English
law authors, without regard to priority qf claifn
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously loo dear. The reason is. that
us fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of oooKsellers in the Atlantic cities. Under
the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter elnim an undivided
title to those works, and set a burdensome
price on thern. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the. Union, will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books us fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Stntkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and aigests of equity and law decisions?works
which nave been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published nt Philadelphia?shall have a
place in the proponed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or pommoil
law,
This work will be issued monthly, in numbers
of 1U0 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer typp, at seven dollars per annum,
payable half yearly.

Mudd, Mary A. Mudd, Harriet Mudd, and
others.
In Charles county court, sitting as a court of equity,
June term, 1845.
THE object of the bill filed in this cause, is to obtain
a decree appointing a trustee to make u
ileed to the complainant for the land mentioned in
the bill of complaint. The bill states that Koswell
Mudd, late of the State of Maryland, died seised
?nd possessed of the following-named tracts, pieces,
or parcels of the land situate, lying, uml being in
Charles county, Stute of Maryland, to wit: part of
"Wright's Forest," "Mudd's Purchase," and part
of "Poor Chance," containing two hundred and
twenty-three acres, three roods, and eleven perches;
that said Roswell hud living, at his death, three
daughters?Matilda Mudd, Mary Ann Mudd, and
Harriet Mudd; and that said children, if living, reside
ill some one of the western States, in parts unknown
to the complainant; that sometime ubout the
28th of July, 1817, they mude and executed a letter
or power of attorney, authorizing Benedict Mudd,
of Charles county, Maryland, to sell said land; and,
in nursuance thereof, lie made a contract of sale
with William Fletcher, who now resides in Prince
George's county, in the State aforesaid; and that
said Fletcher paid said Mudd a large portion of the
purchase-money.
The bill further states, that after said Contract,
one Isadora Gardiner, of the county aty! State
last aforesaid, was empowered to close rfaid contract;
and that he united with said Benedict Mudd
in a bond of conveyance, or paper-writing, conditioned
for the execution of a good and sufficient
deed to Fletcher, on payment of the whole of the
purchase money; that some time afterwards, Fletcher,
for valuable consideration, assigned said bond to
one Francis Beaven, of the county and State aforesaid;
and that Beaven paid to Nathaniel Mudd, administrator
of Benedict Mudd, the balance due on
said land; and then, for valuable consideration, assigned
said bond to the complainant.
The bill further states, that the complainant is
ready and anxious to pay up the balance to the
proper representatives of Beaven, as soon as he can
obtain a deed; but that he has tjeen unable to find the
power of attorney under which the land was sold.
The bill also states that Francis Beaven and his
wife have since departed this life, leaving Rosette
Beaven intermarried with Henry Penn, and Henrietta
intermarried with John F. Perm; and that Henrietta

PHE SHARON WHITE SULPHUR
I SPRINGS, SCHOHARIE COUNTY,NEW
YORK.?The public are respectfully informed that
Mr. Sandon, of the Congress Hall, Albany, is associated
with Mr. Gardner in the management of
the Pavilion Hotel at Sharon. The house is now
open for the reception of visiters, and a pledge is
given to the public that every effort will lie used,
and no expense withheld, to make the Pavilion equal
in all respects to any similar establishment in this
country. The beautiful scenery, invigorating mountain
mr, extensive and diversified rides, and its
proximity to Cherry Valley and Cooperstown,
render Sharon a most desirable residence for those
in search of pleasure; whilst the established efficacy
of the white sulphur spring presents to the suffering
invulid all that can be desired. Physicians of
eminent standing have pronounced the sulphur
waters of Sharon unequalled in this country; and the
thousands that have resorted thither in search of
health, after years of affliction, will corroborate fully
this medical testimony. These waters have rebuked
in the entire restoration of persons laboring under
rheumatism, bilious affections, dyspepsia, and every
variety of cutaneous diseases. In order that the
reader may be enabled to form some idea of the real
character of the white sulphur water at Mharon, an
analysis is given below of this spring, and also of
the celebrated white sulphur in Virginia, Whilst
the former contains 20 5-12 cubic inches sulphuretted
hydrogen to the gallon, it will be perceived
that the latter contains only 2 5 cubic inches.
