Lard Lamps.
MANUFACTURED by M. B. Dyott & Kent, No.
64 South Second street, Philadelphia—who
would invite the attention of those interested, to
examine Dyott’s Patent Improved Pine Oil Lamps.
Their construction is superior, their arrangement
more simple, and embrace improvements possessed
by no other Lamps. The cost of burning will not
exceed one half the expense of any other light;
whilst they produce a more brilliant and steady
light than gas. Their construction is Such that the
wick is supplied with Oil by a feeder, when it is
short; so that they can be burnt dry,and thus keep
the Oil always pure and the lamp clean. Their
management is so easy that a child can take care oi
them. They are perfectly safe, and free from any
unpleasant odor. The above Lamps, together
with Dyolt’s Newly Improved Solar Lard and Oil
Lamps , are made in every desirable form, and suit
able for Churches, Stores, Halls, Factories, Lodge
Rdoms, Hotels, and Billiard Saloons, and Lamps
with shades, designed for reading, and for every
purpose where light is required. A handsome and
varied assortment of Candelabras and Girandoles,
together with Gaa Fixtures of every pattern, style,
and finish, that are made by any other manufactur
ers. Having every facility for manufacturing, we
are prepared to sell wholesale and retail, as cheap
as other dealers; and the articles are warranted
equal in appearance, and superior in construction,
to any that can.be procured elsewhere. Merchants
and those who deal in auy of the above articles are
solicited to call and examine our stock and prices

THE subscribers, proprietors of one of the oldest
and most extensive China Stores in the United
States, have now on hand a very large supply of
Common Ware, Granite Ware, China Ware, and
Glass Ware ,
embracing all the varieties ever imported, which
they will sell in large orsinull quantities, wholesale
or retail, to suit the wants of the people, at prices
to defy competition.
The advantages to be derived from having'a large
ptock to select from, ought certainly to be apparent
to every one; only two need be mentioned:
Ist. The variety to please the taste;
2d. The advantage of purchasing at the lowest
prices; for it is certainly evident to every thinking
mind, that the larger the business done, the small
er the profit required. It is so in every branch ot
trade. The manufacturer sells to the wholesale
package dealer; the wholesale package dealer
sells to the jobber, and the jobber to the retail
country dealer; so that the farmer or the consumer
of the article pays at least four profits !
Why pay so many profits when you can come
directly to head quarters?

•J ' Juj£l2, 1848.
SEALED PROPOSALS, endorsed “Proposals Tor
lO timber,” or “ lumber,” as the case may be,
(naming the yard tor which the offer is intended,)'
will be received at this bureau until three o’clock,
p. m., of the 25th of August next, for furnishing
and delivering at the several navy-yards, respec
tively, the timber, luftiber, and other articles here
inafter specified. One-fourth part of all the articles
required must be delivered on or before the first ot
July, one-fourth on or before the Ist Sept., one
fourth on or before the first of November, and the
balance on or before the 30th of December, 1849
except the spruce spars required at Pensacola, all
of which must be delivered on or before the first of
November, 1848. A”nd in case of failure to deliver
the articles within the times and in the proportions
above specified, the bureau shall have the right to
supply any deficiency, and the contractor shall- be
responsible for any excess of cost over the contract
price.
All the timber, lumber, and other articles must
be of the very "best quality , subject to the inspec
tion and customary measurement of the yard where
they are deliverable, and be in all respects to the
entire satisfaction of the commandants thereof.
'The white oak timber must be rough squared, ac
cording to the. growth of the tree; to have no wane
exceeding one-fourth the width of the face of the
side as squared, rAll the yellow pine timber must
bo of the very best quality of “ long leaf, fine
grain, southern yellow pineto be hewed to a fair
edge, and to have no~more sap than one-eighth of
the breadth of the face from each corner; and the
contents of all sap to be excluded in the measure
ment of the timber. The oak and pine must be
lolled between the Ist of October and Ist of March,
and must have grown within sixty miles of the sea
coast ; must be stripped of the hark, or hewed
within twenty days after it is felled, and placed
clear of the ground, of which satisfactory evidence
must be given by the contractor, by the production
of certificates signed by two respectable witnesses,
with their deposition, on oath, before some judge
of the court, or magistrate, within the township or
county where the timber was felled.
Separate offers must be made for each navy-yard,
keeping each class of articles, 4f embracing more
than one, distinct; the cost of each item must be
carried out, and the aggregate correctly footed up.
Bidders are cautioned against offering for more
than they can furnish, as no extension of time will,
under any circumstances, be granted, and forfei
tures in all cases will be rigidly enforced ; but no
offer not embracing the whole of any one class
will be considered.
The offers of persons who have heretofore failed
►to enter into contract after being notified of the
acceptance of thefr offer, or, having contracted and
failed to perform, will be considered only at the
option of the bureau.
Every offer must be accompanied by a written
guaranty, signed by one or more responsible per
sons, whose responsibility must be certified to by
the navy agent, or some person known to the bu
reau, that if the offer be accepted, the bidder will,
within five days after being notified, enter into
contract with good and sufficient sureties to furnish
the articles proposed, agreeably to the terms of this
advertisement.
Bidders are particularly cautioned to endorse
their'bids as above required, to prevent their being
opened previous to the time specified ; and all bids
not conforming to the terms of this advertisement,
particularly in correctly staling the amount of each
item, and the final aggregate of each class, will be
rejected as informal.
The price of all manufactured or sawed lumber
will be estimated and determined by “hoard mea
surethe square and round timber, unless other
wise specified, by the cubic foot , according to the
rule of measurement adopted at the yards, which is
as follows: for round or eight square timber, take
the mean diameter of thelog, clearof bark ; deduct
frpin this diameter one-fourth, the remainder will
be the reputed square of the log ; multiply this re
puted square in inches, by itself, that product by
the length in feet, and divide by 144, will give the
contents in cubic feet. For rough square timber,
take the mean diameter of the breadth and depth
in inches, and the length in feet; multiply the
mean depth and breadth together, and this product
by the length, and divide by 144, will givethe con
tents in cubic teet.
Bonds with two approved sureties will be requir
ed in half the amount of the contract, and ten per
cent, in addition will he* deducted from all bills, to
be withheld as collateral security, until the contract
is fully completed; the balance, or ninety per cent,*
will be paid on each delivery, by the navy agent
named in the contract, within thirty days after the
presentation of approved bills.
To prevent unnecessary correspondence, bidders
are informed that those only whose offers are ac
cepted will be notified immediately after the bids
shall have been opened and determined.
