[Communicated] ARMING AND VENTILATING CHURCHES. lids are expended in constructing and ; d o ming churches: 'swished upon tower and , r ire ; organ and bells; upon pulpit and altar; stained glass; gas fixtures; upholstering „,1 painting ; nor are the acoustic properties of audience chamber neglected. No expense is ,pared to make our churches externally attract. ,re or internally beautiful. All these are mat. of importance and Should be pressed to 'the , ;: aiost ability of the congregation to pay for ,11. Unfortunately, the matter of warming ~,d ventilation generally receives but a small of attention,, from either prehitectAr build in! committee ; consequently the furnace which ot be placed in the building at the least &name, which it is believed' will consume the smallest ., count of fuel, is chosen. For ventilation, a few ,I: ,, e•tures are made in the ceiling, freqeently ~:,;ning into a closed loft; besides these, thereare is windows and deers, all of which are kept c,rcfully closed in cold weather;—such ere the , Tly means by which ventilation is' usually' tit ieilpted. The lecture and school-rooms are fre aently even more poorly provided for ,thau : the ; : a dience-room. If the building can be made mfortably warm in winter, it is all that is aillf.d at, or thought necessary, and no attention is' 1 lid to the source from which the air,l4 taken, 1,, its condition when admitted into the building, ix to the means of getting rid of vitiated. air. The f Mowing is a description-of the heating ;inf.l ventilating of several churches, which will . iOastrate the mode generally adopted., church in one of the most flourishing dis t:-iets of our city, with a minister of marked abil itv. and an intelligent and prosperous congrega :;,,,i, has its lecture and soeCol-room's under the :,ad ienec chamber, sunk about four feet below the t . ‘c pavement. In theserooms if re plac d ordinary coal stoves, enclosed in tin cases, I.

'sup plied with air brought in contact 'with highly beat pd surfaces and frequently aitialect. beforehand: Eu the lecture room, the head and upper part of the body is in a dry, heated 'atmosphere, while tile feet and lower extremities are subject to dr,itttlits of cold damp air. Is it te, be wondered at, that the minister who is forced to labor in suet an atmosphere givOs evidence of the effect lii his personal appearance ? This building has lately been remodeled and slightly improved. Another church having its lecture and school re,ins in the lower part, of .the building, but above ground, is waruied by a Tortablefurnace. '111,1,e kritaces are made °output and eneased in tt , t,t), instead of being placed in brick chambers {,r(linary furnaces. The small space allowed tor the air makes it necessary to heat it to a very temperature, thus producing what is known burnt or scorched air. The air for warming tie church is taken from the cellar, in which is tt•J ,yam water-closet within a few feet of the fur. n,ces, frequently out of order. and in a filthy con dition. The Sutuday-Sehopl th e room to its utmost capacity, yet there is no of ventilation except the opening of doors a . 1.1 win lows and exposing the children to , hilughts of cold air. Whether the physical in .ttry tistainetl by breathing such an atmosphere toes not counterbalance the moral instruction im gaited in the school, is a serious question. The objec.ionathle air front this school-room is up to the church, which is .supplied with eicilators placed in the top of the Gothic roof. In a beautiful church just completed,by a large of wealthy congregation, apertures for ventila r,.n are provided near the ceiling of the lecture .eltool-ruotn, and in the top of the Gothic -heti roof ofthe audience chamber which, how -I:ler.are wanting in capacity and appear to have no et communication with exteruatair ; but in tic i4ot-school room,where the tender and most tibia are crowdd togethir, not even these means of ventillation are provided, and t!c.: , l.arttuent is warmed by a close stove, there au arrangement other than a small hole te.,r th e ceiling fur the stove pipe. Ino of the largest and best arranged churches, v,:,tel t limy be taken as a specimen of a first-class y dittreli, seats fifteen hundred persons. is or -I,:l.:tvatetl with towers and spire, has a bell and 'n, a gallery, an organ, cushioned seats, and throughout the entire building. Nothing t " a can minister to the refined' taste is wanting. '!utc , a..d with the church is a large lecture 'Ai, :o a ladies' parlor and the pastor's study; ))v(). thoi e is a fine s ;hoo•-•uotn, 'occupying the Sees)lll story, and complete iu all its appur-. The whole building is warmed by four I , r4c names, For ventilation, several apertures lcl't in the ornamental work of the ceilings, into the loft which has a door coottuuni "ig with one of the towers. For the lecture ~ a,thtTre are two ventilators on one side of the only, near the ceiling and controlled by rives, and placed almost dire tly over the regis admitting hot air whiCh are in the floor. In school-roorn are several ventilators controlled by valves, placed near the ceiling •of-,the room. -\lot these are too small to produce sufficient •litilation when the building, is filled, and it is cessary to open doors and windows be -I,:e the conclusion of an ordinary service. The amtngements of some of these churches ito doubt satisfactory to a majority of the ''''lgreption, and many will c,ntend that they that, is necessary, and claim that several "' the churches instaneed are well warmed and zlo.Lated. In o nversation with an architect of I `.ge experience in church edifices, he claimed e:t yen Ration was„neoessary in such buyd-. as they are used only at lon intervals and I Ht lit tor a short space of 'time, and that the acver became so vitiated as to be Objeetiomt • The experience of any man ~w ho has!been "I' a large audience in - either of the churches Ih4, taneed, or in almost any church, is a refute [.K.ll of t h e position t a ken by the architect. In the hall of the Frenchohamber of deputies, v hlich is capable of _noUtaiuing a thousand per eons, • tt was observed that the air was vitiated . in THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1867. half an hour, when there was no ventilation other than by openings in the ceiling ; investigations proved that each person vitiated four and seven tenths cubic feet of air per minute, notwithstand ing the frequent openiug of doors. Judging from this, and similar instances, it is necessary to furni..l four hundred and thirty cubic feet of air for each person during an ordinary Sabbath service. This would require for one thousand persons, a room one hundred: and fifty, by sixty, , by forty feet. P. M.

During its progress largo pieces of decomposed limb were every day or two cut away, and the prostration' and general disturbance of the syttem were great. Before I had recovered from this attack, two smaller car buncles broke out higher up, and I was again threatened with a recurrence of the sufferings to which I hadheen so long subjected. It was ut this time that I commenced, taking the PERUVIAN SYRUP. I'continned taking it until I bad used five bottles; since then I have had nothing of the kind.

To give our readers an ideaUf the piottts which have been made in the Tea trade, before the establisbment of the Great American Tea Company, we will-start with the American houses, leaving out of the account entirely the profits of the Chinese factors. .The American house in China or Japan makes large profits on their sales or ahipments--mid some of the richest retired mer chants in the country have made their innitense forturtee through their houses in China.
