Mr. Skinnkr,: Impressed, as I am, that but a verv small portion of fhe inhabitants of our country are aocjuair.ted with the rrrfar convenience arifj economy of lard lamps, and conceiving th.it a word or two on that -u'ject may subserve 'he interests cf all classes of society. I cannot refrain from requesting a brief place in jour useful journal, as the nuV proper organ of com munication on subjects touching our com non concei us. It appears to me perfectly demonstrable, that a saving of five bundled per cent, may be effected by the use of such lamp as J shall now describe, in the place of candle light on seme occasions. Take a common sized tea-t up, or any similar ve-sc!, and till it with lard; then t;ike a scrap of paper and twist it tightly m the middle, so as to make a small point project up about three quar ters of an inch for a wick; then cut the paper round so as to lie in the cup, covered about a quarter or half inch deep with the lard, leaving a slight projection of the little wick from the centre. Thus y u have a lamp that will last three w hole nights in sucte.-siun.
