Office & Warerooms, 84 Bowery, New York.
The GREAT INVENTION OF THE AGE, for the extinguishment of Fires on Land and at Sea.
The apparatus is cheap and simple. It occupies but little space, in not liable to get out of order, and, as the POWER OF BUT THREE PERSONS is required to work an engine of the ordinary size, having a fire-destroying capacity equal to the largest hand-engine, WORKED BY FORTY OR FIFTY MEN, it can be used in the most isolated localities, as well as in cities, towns, villages, and on shipboard. Its exceeding cheapness and power commend it to the favor of every person having property exposed to risk by fire. The element used is CARBONIC ACID GAS, which, as science has clearly demonstrated, when THROWN UPON FIRE INSTANTLY DESTROYS IT. Water is employed in small quantities to convey this fire-destroying material directly upon the flames, and therefore in this particular the engine is vastly superior to any other now used.
The engine has been tested in some of the largest cities and towns in the United States, in the presence of city and town officials, boards of underwriters, members of the press, fire departments, &c., and those who have witnessed its operation pronounce it a perfect success, and AN INVENTION THAT IS DESTINED TO REVOLUTIONIZE ALL PRESENT METHODS OF EXTINGUISHING FIRES, AND SAVE TO THE COUNTRY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR.
The proprietors believe that the engine is one that can stand upon its own merits, and that its operation and effects have only to be witnessed in order to be appreciated. They invite all persons to call at the Company's Warerooms in New York, and examine for themselves, or to send to the Company's Office for a pamphlet, which fully describes the engine and explains the chemical combinations that give it such astonishing power and efficiency.
Price according to size and capacity.

The Directors refer with the highest gratification to the unparalleled success of the Conservatory during the year.
The first institution of the kind established here, it has steadily advanced in popular favor and patronage, until it occupies a position not only far superior to that of any other school of music, but is entitled to rank with the first European conservatories.
The best evidence of the excellence of the methods of instruction, used in the Conservatory is the rapid advance of its numerous pupils, who have made greater progress under its teachings, than during many years before, devoted to the ordinary methods.
The cultivation of music as an art, with the view of achieving the highest excellence, has been greatly neglected here; and the Directors have aimed, as they believe successfully, to give pupils every advantage and facility at the Conservatory, (which they would otherwise be compelled to seek in Europe,) and their efforts have met with appreciation and success beyond their most sanguine anticipations,
Among the Professors are many carefully selected from the best European schools, not only as accomplished musicians, but with especial reference to their capability of imparting instruction. Those selected in Europe, and also those engaged here, include instructors of long experience, familiar with the practical working of the system adopted by the Conservatory.
The Conservatory will continue to afford every facility for the formation of a correct standard of musical taste, and pupils will have frequent opportunities of hearing the best works rendered by artists of the highest talent, thus familiarizing the student with their correct performance.
The high position attained by the Conservatory, and the connections it has established in Europe, the complete arrangements it has perfected, and the unlimited resources at its command, afford it every facility for giving its patrons unequalled advantages; and no pains or expense will be spared to secure the best talent, and all possible appliances for maintaining the first position among the Musical Institutions of the country.

THE MONTHLY Phonographic Magazine, FOR 1869.
Edited by JAMES E. MUNSON.
THE COMPLETE PHONOGRAPHER was first published about two years ago. Before the end of the first year its sale had been so large, and the number of those who had mastered its principles so great, that a considerable demand arose for more reading matter printed in its style of Phonography. To supply that demand we commenced publishing the MONTHLY PHONOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE.
The first year of this publication, just ended. has been with us one of experiment, and oftentimes the most trying and discouraging failures, and, to our readers, it is needless to add, one of vexatious delays. But now we are happy to be able to say positively that all this has passed, and that we shall have no difficulty in future in issuing the numbers with promptness and regularity.
The prime object of the Magazine is, of course, to give reading matter in Phonography to those who are acquiring the art; but in the preparation and selection of articles, it shall be our aim, as it has heretofore been, to furnish matter that is both instructive and entertaining. We shall not use the Magazine as a medium of making attacks on others, or of repelling their attacks, or even of refuting falsehoods, unless we are clearly satisfied that the public are being misled by our silence.
In short, we shall spare no pains to make our periodical, not only a welcome, but an indispensable monthly visitor; and we ask of our subscribers that they aid us all they can in extending our circulation.
TERMS:
- Two Dollars a Year, or Twenty Cents per Number.
- CLUB RATES:—Two Copies, $3.50;
- Three Copies, $5.25;
- Six Copies, $10.00;
- Thirteen Copies, $20.00, and one gratis to the person who gets up the club.
Our terms invariably in advance.
The volume for 1868, bound uniformly with "The Complete Phonographer," will be sent, postpaid, for $2.25.

FOR 1869, CHARLES A. DANA, Editor,
A First-class Journal, Independent but not Neutral in Politics, Publishes Three Editions—Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly, at $6, $2, and $1 per year.
The Weekly Sun Is prepared with special reference to the wants of Country Readers.
News of the week, from all parts of the globe, is condensed for it by experienced and skilful editors. A selection from the most interesting editorial articles of THE DAILY SUN will form one of its constant features, while the most instructive and entertaining miscellany will also occupy a large portion of its columns. Its CATTLE, PRODUCE, AND GENERAL MARKET REPORTS will be found all that can be desired. As a general FAMILY NEWSPAPER, it will aim to be particularly acceptable. It will also furnish accurate and fresh reports of all matters of importance to THE FARMER AND GARDENER.
This department is under the supervision of Mr. ANDREW S. FULLER, the well-known horticulturist, who will not only write on the subjects in question, but will also attend the meetings of the FARMERS and FRUIT-GROWERS' CLUBS, and will daguerreotype their proceedings for the benefit of our subscribers.
Mr. Fuller, who is a hearty lover of his profession, makes to his readers the following LIBERAL PROPOSITION:
To every subscriber who sends one dollar for the WEEKLY, or two dollars for the SEMI-WEEKLY SUN, we will forward by mail, post-paid, any one of the following named vines or plants (many of which sell at retail at about the price charged for the paper,) as gifts, as soon as the ground opens in the Spring.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY SUN is of the same size and general character as THE WEEKLY, but has space for a greater variety of miscellaneous reading, and furnishes the news to its subscribers with greater freshness, because it comes twice a week instead of once only. Its subscription is only TWO DOLLARS a year, the ordinary price of a New York Weekly. Clubs of ten subscribers to one address, receive THE SEMI-WEEKLY SUN on payment of $18. Twenty copies will be sent to one address for $35; and fifty copies for $80, always in advance.
