    been using, wilh that of my own making. My gas bill for July amounted to $52, less the month 2 days. The two days I set off for the usual discount on such bills. Then add $5 52 more, to make the number of burners equal, as I now have 4 more than in July, thus my gas bill, with 4 more burners, would have amounted to $57 52. Deduct $19 38 from that, it leaves a balance of $38 15 per month in favor of Cruichett's Patent Solar Gas. The difference between the cost of each amounts to 6G per cent. JOSEPH H. CROMWELL. Broadway Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 26, 1846. Certificate of the Sexton of the Presbyterian Church. This is to certify, that I have attended to making gas from one of Crutchett's Patent Apparatus, at the Presbyterian Church, corner of John and Clark street, ever since its erection: we use 22 burners one night in the week, and 9 burners each for two nights in the week, and find the cost is 85 cents per week, and gives a brilliant and beautiful light, and no difficulty in atten(i= ing to it. JOHN BASSETT, Sexton. Extract of a Letter from Mr. John Lockwood, Cincinnati, Ohio, Cincinnati^ Feb 21, 1846. Mr. J. Crutchett. Dear Sir,—I have got my apparatus in operation in my store, and it works beautifully, besides being admired very much, &c, &c. JOHN LOCKWOOD. Letter from the Hon. Col. Pendleton to the Commissioner of Patents. Cincinnati, April 9, 1844. My Dear Sir,—Messrs, Shoenberger and Strader were the Com- mittee appointed hy the Vestry of Christ Church, in this city, to procure gas light upon a new plan, suggested by Mr. Crutchett. The light has been furnished under the direction of those gentle- men, and both in quantity and quality exceeds our utmost hopes. The effect of the light coming from the centre of the ceiling is very fine. I have no doubt in a short time Mr. Crutchett's plan will supercede all others, and so soon as known will be introduced into all public edifices. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, N. G. PENDLETON. H. L, Ellsworth, Patent Office, Washington.
