WE were shown samples of Harris ft Smith's "Self-Extinguishing, Non-Ex plosive Safety Lamp" last week, aud must say it is the most common sens ; lamps we ever saw, and is certainly all that Is claimed for it, non-explosive and self-extinguishing. In the explm- planatiou of the safety features we find the following:^"TlUf self-extin guisher Is a very simple aud effective device. If is self-acting the instant the lamp is overturned or dropped from the hand, or iu fact in any un safe position, but never other wine un less desired by the user, who may, at his option, extinguish it by sligiitly tipping the lamp while It Is resting on the table. This renders it unnecessary to turn down the wick or blow down the chimney, thus preventing many accidents f-oin such causes. The lamp will not extinguish itself a when tipped while in the hand, but may he carried at pleasure the same as ordinary lamps. its owu weight preventing it froiu ex tinguishing in any position with in the limits of safety." The non- explosive feature consists of a wi*e gauge or tube, on the principle of the miner's lamp, aud it is impossible to communicate flame through this to the oil or gas in the lamp. Considering the many accidents daily occurring from common kerosene Lamps, it would seem that no family should be without one of these safety lamps.-- Th«y are for sale by Geo. W. Besley.

As a reason for this suggestion, it is alleged that it sometimes hap pens that parties who are not legally bound to erect such fences are yet obliged to do so or be without them, and if the ones whose duty it is to erect them, but who neglect or refuse to do so are irresponsible, then those who are to the expense of erecting them are unable to recover pay.
