Austin's Magic Fretitr
Through in tix minutu. For the preparation of
Ice Creams, Water Ices, &c.?Patented Sep
tember 19, 1848.
r|MI E distingulsing merits of this Apparatus
1 1st. The astonishing rapidity of the process, surpass
ing belief? hence the name.
2d. The Cream during th* progress of freerlng becomes
charged with atmospheric air, by which It nearly doubles
In t'Uik, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
sod dellcacr of flavor, for which the Ice Croam of our
best Confectioners is so highly prited.
3d. It does not require a tenth port of th* labor that
the common Freexcr does.
4th. It does Its work better, producing a better article,
in every respect, than by any other mode.
6th. There is a considerable saving in Ice, a* the tub
needs no replenishing during the operation.
The annexed testimonial from the Proprietor of the
Eutaw House will put to rest all doubt.
" Having witnessed the process of freeting Icc Cream
In Austin's Magic Freecer, two quart* of Cream having
been frozen in the incredible short time of six minute*, I
cheerfully recommend it to the public."
H. f. JACKSON,
Eutaw House, Baltimore, May 15, 184*.
"This Is to certify, that during the summer of 1848, I
used one of Austin's Patent Ice Cream Frceiers of the
largest si*e, (10 gallons,) making from 10 to 60 gallons
per day during the season ; and so flu- as regards expedi
tion and power. 1 consider it decidedly the best freeser
now in use, as I have had with It no difficulty in making
ten gallons of superior quality Ice Cream from five of
plain Cream, in thirty minutes from the time I com
menced workiug it. A. II. BROWN,
Baltimore, April A, 1861."

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
Post Office Department. I
March 14, 1851. J
IT being desirable to substitute looks and keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail service
of the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro
posals to furnish the same, will be received and considered
nt the Post Offlce Department until the first day of July
next. The different locks will be submittal to a commis
sion for examination and report. Upon this report, wm
tracts will, as soot) as practicable. Ikj enten-d into for fur
nishing such locks and keys for four years, with the right
on the part of the Postmaster General, for the time being,
to ax tend and continue the contract in force for an addi
tional term of four years, by giving to the contractor a
written notice to tlwit effect, not more than nine nor less
than six months before the termination ol the first term
"f With a view of procuring the best lock at the lowest
price, no kind of lock Is prescribed as a standard, the De
partment relying for a selection on the mechanical kill
and ingenuity which a fair competition, now invited, may
develop. It is, however, proper to state Omt a lock suit
able for the mail servlue should possess the following qual
ities, vU: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new l?>cl? and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will lie
required to be furnished by the contractor within seven
months after the contract shall have been entered into;
afterwards the annual supply will depend on the dura
bility of the locks and keys adopted, as well as the in
crease of the mail service; but it will probably never ex
ceed in amount three thousand of the former and one
thousand of the latter.
No lock will be considered if it lie like any already In
general use; nor will anyone with whom the contract
may be made be allowed to make, sell, or furnish, any
lock or key similar to those contracted for lor any other
purpose or use than that of the Post Offlce Department.
The kind of lock adopted must be intented, and the pa
tentee will bo required, on entcringintocontract, to make
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and ben
efit of the Department, if the Postmaster General shall
deem such requirement essential to the interests of the
service. In case of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil faithfully the terms and conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster General shall have tlie right.
)>esldes a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, nnd to contract anew with
any other party or parties as he may eoo fit, for furnishing
similar locks and keys.
In deciding upon the propo?als and specimens one rod.
the Postmaster General may deem it expedient to select
for the through malls the lock of one bidder, and for the
way mail* that of another. He reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different individuals for such
different kinds of locks as be mav select, and also the
right to reject all the specimens and proposals. If he shall
deem that course for tlie Interest of the Department. The
party or parties contracting will be r sou (rod to give bond,
with ample security, In the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. The con
tract is to contain provisions for the due aud proper In
spection of the locks and keys, and also for guarding
against their passing Into Improper hands ; the terms of
these provisions to Is- arrange! Iictween the Department
and the successful bidder, If a bid should be accept**!.
No application will I* considered If not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of
the bidder, and of his ability to fulfil the contract.

1 have become quite fliniiliar with the Magnum# ana

opinion that it in eminently entitled to the public ngurd

amount of valuable statistical aud other inloruialion,

"I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with u good
deal of attention, auu have no hesitation in saying that I
Lhluk it one of tbe most valuable periodicals that was
ever published. To the merchant It seems quite indis
pensable, nnd to the statesman and man of general inlor
iiiation almont equally d?flrat>le. It is a grand repository
of useful facts and information, which can be found uo
where so well digested aud ho accessible as in these num
bers. I (lily regret that 1 do not own the whole work."

Washington City, April 20.1840.
Mr. Freeman Hunt.?Air; 1 owe you many thanks for
the opportunities 1 have had to read the .Merchants Msg
a 'ine, aud have found it in reality to be a viuyttti?r, and
that well replenished, of all the useful matter which the
title would imply, aud presented with a fullness and
clearness which delights while it instructs. It is, in lact,
a merchants' magazine in the large acceptation ol llie
?merchants who go between nations, whose huge
operations bring many departments of knowledge, and a
view of the state ot the world, into daily requisition. But
it is not the great merchant only, but the one of more
modest, but. nevertheless, of most useful operations? the
merchant of the interior also?who will find tl_.is magazine
to abound with the information the rur.-uit ol his busi
ness and the elevation of the mercantile chi.raclei re
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to inert law* 1 ut
extends to the legislator and diplomatist, and to all who
are charged with managing the affairs ot' II.e nation, lor
myself. I have found it most useful to me in my senato
rial lalioru, and have I-ecu in the habit lor many years of
carefully consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servnnt,
} THOMAS 11. BENTON.

~~' COLD SPUING WATKB CUKE.
rpilIS NEW AND SPLENDID hOTABLIiSHMKNT for
I the scientific treatment of the various diseases w ith
which the human system is afflicted, is situated i.l out
three miles from the city of Buffalo, In a rural snot, und
ao accessible from all points as to be reached without in
convenience or delay.
A line of omnibuses runs from the steamboat landings
In Buffalo to the springs every ten minutes.
The house and grounds are near the extensive and
lieautlful green-house? and nurseries of the Messrs. Hodges
k Bryants; and the scenery in all directions is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or beauty; embracing
points of view, from which may bo takcu In at a glance
the broad expanse of Lake hrie. the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
"Queen City of the l4ikcn," with its moving panorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
The water, taken immediately from the celebrated
"Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
purity, by any in the United States. The honse, recently
erected at a cost of almut Mr. ri thousand dollars, haf been
fitted up In a neat and elegant stylo, at considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventv-flvc patients.
Connected with the establishment, nnd constituting one
of Ita attractions, are the fixtures and conveniences for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic, exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The inrtltutioh is under the general supervision of 8.
M. Davis. M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of
Medicine in Central Medical College, and Geo. \V. In vis,
M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y., the resident phjsiclun,
and Is permanently associated with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, nnd associate of the medical 1 ourd
of control. And the friends of the establishment du'm It
n matter of felicitation that the services of Miss MBry M.
Taylor, a liuly of high medical attainments, who has nt
teiided two courses of lectures In the Central Medicai Col
lege, have been secured, and that female pntlents can nt
any time i\val! themselves other Invaluable aid and coun
sel.
The steward's department is under the control of a gen
tlemnn eminently qualified for that position; and UU' eS
rled pains will be taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, and conducted
in a way, to ensure the romfort, and promote the l.ralth
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
its benefits. Baths of nil descriptions, adapted to the rure
of the various forms of disease, and constructed on a scnle
not inferior to those of any other establishment in this
country.
An enlightened public sentiment has everywhere repu
diated a reckless use of dmi;? In the treatment of disease;
while intolerable sufferings nnd broken constitutions hste
imperatively demanded "Deform." A return from s wide
and fatal departure from tht simplicity of Nature's law*
Is called for, alike by a rational love of happiness and the
deplorable exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
scientific use of water ns a restorative and curniiv* agent,
Is a practical sulmtltution of a simple nnd remarkably effi
cacious mode of curing the sick ; for (hat system of drug
ging. depleting, and cauterizing, which, iu obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently places the pntli nt be
yond the roach of further annoyance. The success of the
various Water Cure establishments In this country, to say
nothing of any other, has fully confirmed the hopes of the
early discoverers and promulgators of the great truths
upon which the system is founded, and renders verlal
communications unnecessary. Misdeemed sufficient to
say, that the " Cold Spring Water Cure" will compare fa
vorably with any of the writ-conducted establishments ot
b similar character, ami will lie found equal to the best,
as regards the order, convenience, snd desirableness of Its
arrangements. The Institution is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and in full operation.
TKKMB.
