Austin's Magic Freticr,
Through in six minutes. For the preparation of
Ice Creams, Water Ices, &c.?Patented Sep
tember 19, 1848.
r|MIK distinguising merit* of this Apparatus are?
JL 1st. The astonishing rapidity of the process, surpass
I ing belief?hence the name.
2d. The Cream during the progress of freezing becomes
[ charged with atmospheric air, by which it nearly doubles
I In bulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
nnd delicacy of flavor, for which the Ioe Cream of our
best Confectioners ts so highly prised.
3d. It does net require a tenth part of the labor that
the common Freezer does.
4th. It doe* its work better, producing a better article,
In every respect, than by any other mode.
6th. There Is a considerable Having in ice, as the tub
needs no replenishing during the operation.
The annexed testimonial from the Proprietor of the
Kutaw House will put to rest all doubt.
" Having witnessed the process of freezing Ice Cream
In Austin's Magic Freeser, two quarts of Cream having
been frozen In the Incredible short time of six minutes, 1
cheerfhlly recommend It to the public."
H. T. JACKSON,
Entaw House, Baltimore, May 16, 1848.
" This I* to certify, that during the summer of 1H48. I
used one of Austin'* Patent Ice Cream Freezers of tne
largest size, (10 gallons,) making from 10 to 60 gallons
per day during the season; and so fkr a* regards expedi
tion and power, I consider It decidedly the best freezer
now in use, as I have had with It no difficulty in making
ten gallon* of *uperior quality Ice Cream from Ave of
plain Cream, in thirty minutes from the time I com
menced working it, A. H. BROWN,

T T KOJl BOY 0.?This UaUtuliuu In situated in
on* of th? hnalthlcat parte of the city of Wilmington, en
tirely boyond the eettfod portions of the town. The uni
form hmlUiftilniw of the lootUui may be luferrad from
the fhet that, rtnoe the establishment of the <School, about
twenty-eight year*, very few cases of serious indisposition
have occurred auiuiu the pupils, and not a niu^le death
either here, or from diseases contracted while here.
The course of Instruction includes, beside* the ordinary
English branches, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Physi
ology, History, Rhetoric, the various brauches of Mathe
matics, and the Latin, Greek, and French Ijuhrfuaged. Par
ticular attention is paid to the higher Mathematics aud
their application to mechanics and Engineering; the Utter
and purveying are taught practically by field operations
with the use of appropriate instruments. Lectures on
Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, in which all the im
portant principles are illustrated by experiments, are
regularly delivered before the students.
As the object Is to make the instruction as thorough
and practical as possible, no expense has been spared in
providing suitable apparatus. It is believed tliat, in this
renpect, the Institution will compare favorably with any
similar one in the county. A carefully selected library,
' of more than one thousand volumes, containing works on
the various branches of Literature and Bcieucv, furnishes
ample reading matter, while a Laboratory, fully supplied
with apparatus and tests, contains all that is necessary for
practical instruction in Chemical Manipulation.
The school year commenced on the third Second-day
(Monday) of the Ninth month, (September,) and is divided
into four quarters of eleven weeks each, leaving a vacation
of two months, from about the middle of the Seventh
month (July). SAMUEL ALSOP,

Mr. JAS. L. HAMILTON?Dkar Sir: Although the
number and respectability of the testimonials of which
you are already in possession, us to the efficacy of your
' Medicine, "TnE OKKAT VA. REMEDY," in the diseuses
which it is designed to cure, are sufficient, in my opinion,
to establish its reputation, and secure for it such patronage
as will adequately reward you for the discovery of so ines
timable a Medicine?yet the great bcnelit which I have
i derived from its use, and the salutary effects which I have
witnessed from its employment in the cases of several
friends, to whom I had recommended it, constrain me to
contribute, tor such use as you may think proper to make
of it, this formal acknowledgment of its sanitary virtues.
My own case was Dyspepsia of long duration, and very
aggravated in Ita character, manifested by an almoet total
destruction of the digestive functions, great debility, ner
vousness, emaciation, and impaired appetite, with pain,
and a burning sensation in the left side of the chest, pidpi
tation of the heart, vertigo and congestion in the head,
and many other symptoms indicative of the worst type of
the disease, by the use of three or four bottles of your pre
paration, been entirely relieved. The cases of my friends,
in which your Medicine was taken, were Dyspepsia, Chro
nic Headache, and Sore Throat, in all of which it proved
efficacious, after the trial of a vast number of other reme
dies without l>enclit. Your medicine is as pleasant to Uic
taste as a cordial, and in my experience corrects all de
rangement of the stomach, restores the wasted or enfeebled
energies of the digestive organs, and imparls strength and
reanimation to the whole system.

The reputation which these Reports maintain in Eng

sion. The low price at which they are offered, compared
with the rates of some of the principal American Reports,
of even Inferior merit, recommends them particularly to
the attention of those purchasing Libraries.

With this Key to their contents, the English Common
Law Reports present to the Profession a mass of legal
learning In the shape of Opinions, Data, elaborate Argu
ments, Ac., Ac., sufficient, probably, for the Elucidation
and Prosecution or Defence of any case that can arise in
our Courts of Law; and being thus made easily and in
stantly accessible, these Reports will be found so compre
hensive, convenient, and cheap, as to supersede the neces
sity of other or more expensive scales.
The Index will be found of great value to all possessing
the Reports; and of great convenience to those having
access to, but not owning the series.

Messrs. T. A J. W. Johnson:
Gentlemen?In reply to your letter, I can with great
sincerity sny, that I entertain a very high opinion of the
recent Exchequer Reports. In my judgment they are not
excelled by any cotemporaueous Reports, in learning,
ability, or general utility and interest. The cases decided
are discussed with great care, aud expounded with uncom
mon force. I scarcely know of any volumes which I deem
of more Importance or value for a Professional Library.

In which you ask my opinion as to the value of the Eng
lish Exchequer Reports, from Price downwards to this
time, to an American Lawyer, and a* to the expediency of
reprinting them in this country. Of the high value of
these Reports, both on the Pleas and Equity sides of thw
Court, I have not the least doubt?the decisions of thiF
Court for the last fifteen or twenty years, both at Equity
and in Common Law, lieing entitled to equal respect with
any others in England. I should think an Americun I

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.
I?o8T OrnrB Department, >
March 14,1851. f
IT being desirable to substitute locks and keys of some
other kind for those now in use for the mail servic<
of the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro
posals to furnish the same, will be received and considered
at the Post Office Department until the first day of July
next. The different locks will be submitted to a commis
sion for examination and rejiort. Upon this rejiort, con
tracts will, as soon as practicable, be entered Into for fur
nishing such locks aud keys for four years, with the right
on the part of the Postmaster General, for the time lieing.
to extend and continue the contract in force for an addi
tional term of four years, by giving to the contractor a
written notice to that effect, not more than nine nor lesr
than six months before the termination of the first term
of four years.
With a view of procuring the best lock nt the lowest I
price, no kind of lock is prescribed as a standard, the De
partment relying for a selection on the mechanical skill
and ingenuity which a fair com|>etitiou, now invited, may
develop. It is, however, proper to state that a lock suit
able for the mail service should possess the following qual
itlos, vix: durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength.
For the purpose of displacing simultaneously all the
mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty thousand
new loclw and twenty thousand keys adapted thereto will be
required to be furnished by the contractor within seven
months after tho 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 tho mall 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 be like any already In
general use; nor will anyone with whom tho contract
may I* 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 Office Department.
The kind of lock adopted must be patented, and the pa
tentee will be required, on entering into contract, to make
an assignment of his patent for the exclusive use and ben
efit of the Department, If the Postmaster General shall
deem snch requirement essential to the interests of the
service. In case of the failure of the contractor at any
time to fulfil fklthfully the terms and conditions of his
contract, the Postmaster General shall have the right,
besides a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men
tioned, to annul said contract, and to contract anew with
any other party or |>arties as he may see fit, for furnishing
similar locks and keys.
In deciding upon the proposals and specimens offered,
the Postmaster General may deem It expedient to select
for the through mails the lock of one bidder, and for the
way mails that of another, lie reserves, therefore, the
right of contracting with different individuals for such
different kinds of locks as he may select, and also the
right to reject all the specimens and proposals. If he shall
deem that course for the interest of the I)epartmcnt. The
party or parties contracting will be required 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 and proper in
spection of the locks and keys, and also for guarding |
against their passing into improper hands; the terms of
these provisions to be arrangi-d between the Department
and the successful bidder, if a bid should l>e accepted.
No application will lie considered If not accompanied
with satisfactory evidence of the trustworthy character of
the bidder, and of his ability to fulfil Uie contract.

COLD SPRING WATI I: CURB.
Tims NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
J. the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which tho human system is afflicted, is situated about
three miles I'm III the city of Buffalo, in a rural spot, and
so accessible from all points as to be reached w ithout 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 r.tid
beautiful green-bouses and nurseries of the Mess)*. Hodges
A Bryants; and the scenery In all directions is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or henuty; embracing
points of view, tepm which may lie taken in at a glance
the broad expanse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
"Queen City of the Lakes,'' with its ntoving panorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
Tho water, taken immediately from the celebrated
"Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
parity, by any in the United Mates. The house, recently
erected at a cost of about seven thousand dollars, has bc? n
fitted up in a neat and elegant style, nt considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventy-five patient*.
Connected with the establishment, and constituting one
of Its attractions, are the fixtures and conveniences for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exercises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The institution is under the general supervision of S.
M. Davis, M. I)., Professor of the Theory and Practice of
Medicine in Centra! Medical I '< liege, and Ceo. W. 1 | \ is,
M. D., formerly of Dausville, N. Y., the resident physician,
and is permanently assoriated with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, aud associate of the medical I curd
of control. And the friends of the establishment derm it
a matter of felicitation that the services of MiaS Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who has at
tended two courses of lectures in the Central Medical Col
lege, have been secured, and that female patients can at
any tilbe avail themselves of her invaluable aid and ioun
?el.
The steward's department is under the control of a gen
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea
ried pains will lie taken to have every thing appertaining
to the est?hli?hment arranged on a plan, and conducted
in a way, to ensure the comfort, and promote fhe health
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
its lienefits. Baths of all descriptions, adapted to the cure
of the various forms of disease, and constructed on a sftilo
not inferior to those of any other establishment in this
country.
An enlightened public sentiment has everywhere repu
diated a reckless use of drugs in Um ti. Htincnt <?! > i i.?? ase;
while intolerable sufferings and broken constitutions have
imperatively demanded "Reform." A retnriwfrcai a wide
and fatal departure from the simplicity of Nature's laws
is called for, alike by a rational love of happiness and the
deplorable exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
scientific use of water as a restorative and curative agent,
is a practical substitution of a simple aud remarkably effi
cacious mode of curing the sick; for that system of drug
ging, depleting, and cauterizing, which, in obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently places the patient be
yond the reach of further annoyance. Tho success of the
various Vt ater Cure establishment* In this country, to say
nothing of any other, has fully confirmed tho. hopes ol th?
parly discoverers and promulgators of the great truths
upon which tbo system Is founded, and renders verbal
oommunicafloUs unnecessary. It is deemed sufficient to
say, that the "Cold truing Water Cure" will compare fa
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishing !? ol
a similar character, and will lie found equal to the 1 < st,
as regards the order, convenience, and desirableness of its
arrangement". The institution is liow open lor the recep
tion'of patients, and in full operation.
