"it waa after apeculatlon had been reduced to
nmnilr.e " and atlur reneaied eiieiimenta. that the
complainant nucceeiled in overcoming -he prejudice
and ignorancof the people on the subject, and
persuading tbe public that his invention watiaactul;
after he hud established its great utility and value,
and "when hie geuiu and patient perseverance, in
plte of sneers and scoffs," were completely sue
cessfnl, that Heed, who had before made cxpori-
menta on ine same iiojovt, uuu wiw uiiDiiccessiui,
iinnslned that he had the Iieat riuht to the invention,
and after purchasing one or more complainant's tor
pedoes. he applied on I he tst of November, 1NK7,
for a patent for substantially tho same combina
tions of devices and ii aehlno contained In complain
aut's patent. On the 16th of the same month the

and thus defraud him of the fruits. They have per

properly granted ny tne uisinci J none.

VnTr The rassaire referred to bv Judtre Orler In
his former decis'on, D Wallace, p. 290, adopted as
applicable to this case was as follows:
11 is usually hid wm, uj vnmnuie m?cov
ery la made, or any new machine of preat utMty is
invented, that mealtenllon of the public has been
tnrned tn that snojeei previously, ana mat many
persona have neen maaing researencs ana experi
ments. Philosophers and mechanicians may have
m some measure anticipated in ineir specirations
the ruiaslbilltv or urohabilitv of such dlacnverv or
invention; many experiments have been successful
ly tiled, coming very near, yet falling short ol the
desired result. They have produced nothing bene
ficial. The invention when perfected may trnly be
said to be the culniluating point of manv expert
men , not only by the Inventor, bnt by many oth
ers, lie may have profited indirectly hr the tinsuc
nssaful exneriments and failures of nlheri. hut It

"Aud yet when slenius and patient perseverance

Friends aud patrons, one and nil,
Your atteutlnn to mj "biz" I would call;
TlmrB arc dull an money tight,
Rut iu these times I'm looking for light;
To those who are building rlfrs without number,
I would inform this Is the place to buy Lumber;
My motto Is this : 'Quick Sales and Small front,"
For business is healthy nnd I think much of 11;
In q"allty my Lumber is second to none,
And ns for Shingles, I keep No. 1 ;
Some may not look at It In the light I do,
And for vl.ose I have a quality No. S ;
And to those who are particular aa somo may bs,
I still have another quality called No
I have good seasoned Lumber, Pressed up nice,
Which I will sell at a low cosh price;
finch as Flooring, Celling and Biding, both Rough
and Pressed,
Lath, lliittona and Surfaced Lumber, all of tt
best ;
I also havo Rig Lumber of all kinds,
At prices to compare with oil and bard limes ;
All kinds of Timber kept constantly on hand,
And a box of Cigars of a very good brand;
My f idllties for sel'ing aro surely without number
I alwayj keep good teams to deliver good Lumber;
So if you want Lumber, Rongh, pressed, Soft or
Hard,
You will flndjnst what' yon wnnt at L M S's Lum
