IN JAIL. —One Jacob De in. who had been appropriating other people's things to his own use, was arrested the other day by Con stable Harris. It appears that the accused had in the first place taken a horse, and not being able to dispose of him, returned him to the owner's stable or field and started with the bridle. He offered to sell it to a man who recognized it, and made information against him, which led to his arrest. Times are getting hard now and this is no doubt one of ihe above "bird's" sharp tricks to secure boarding and lodging for the winter.

TUE following article from the Scientific American, contains so much good and correct advice as to the beet mode of burning coal, and economising fuel, that ire publish it for the benefit of oar readers: SOME SUGGESTIONS ON TUB BVKXIKG or COAL. —The season when closed windows arid doors and giowingcoal fires have superseded well-aired apartments has arrived, and as the price of fuel has increased, afiy methods of preventing the waste of so necessary and val uable a commodity must be qseful, We give, therefore, a few brie* suggestions, drawn from experience, in regaid to the care of ranges, heaters, cooking and parlor stoves, and grates. It is a false ecopoipy to be chary of the use of kindling for anthracite fires. Charcoal is probably the best kindler, but it is not always to be obtained, and then, is costly. In this and other cities, kindling wood, of pine, saw ed short—five or six inches in" length—and split fine, is sold in convenient little buudles, one or two of which is sufficient to start an anthracite fire for any household purpose. It may be obtained also in barrels or boxes, or in quantity. In the country these conveni ences do not exist, but every householder prepares his own kindling. One great mis take in its preparation is in not cutting it short enough or splitting it fine enough. More heatcau be obtained by using fine than coarse kindling. This preparation is to the stove, what mastication is to the stomach, an assist ant to combustion or digestion, in this case convertible terms. After the kindling is lighted, it should be allowed to burn until it is all enveloped in a light blaze and portions have become live coals before a particle of coal is put on. If the coal is heaped upon the unignited wood the process of combustion is delayed by cook ing, and much of .the carbon that would oth erwise produce heat is carried off in the form of dense smoke or is depositee! or held As car bonic acid gas, the greatest enemy to inflam mability. Most persons have seen this when an apparently well-kindled fire has been ex tinguished and had to be re-made. The coal put on the kindlings should be new coal, not the screenings of a former fire; and it Ebould be carefully spread in a tbin layer. The practice of filling the fire pot or furnace will materially delay the process of combustion. la such cases we have seen an hour elapse before a bed of incandescent coal could be formed sufficient to broil a steak or a fish, or to emit any sensible beat, while with a decent draft a good coal fire, with judicious management, may be obtained in fifteen min utes. Where a fire is kept all night, or for davs and wc-ek-: together, as is now so frequently the case with base burning stove#, and even the common cylinder stove, the first thing to do in the morning is to put on fresh coal, without disturbing that in the stove, open the draft aud the damper, and do no raking until the new c ial is well ignited. Then- the a.-hes may be rattled down until sparks drop) through the grate. Soon as these are seen the raki. g should cease. Never piokt- a coal fire—an thracite— at the top, This rule, as military men .-ay, is "general." Bat a greater fault than atiy other and a very common one is chocking a fire by piling on a grate or filling up a stove with coal when the tire is low. IN all cases the coal should be added in moderate, even small, quantities and it should be placed or spread evpniy. In some eases it is well to deposit the lumps piece by piece by hand. When dumped on in masses the coal wastes rapidly without giv ing out heat, a large proportion of the carbon escaping up the chimney in the form of visi ble soot or as thick smoke. No anthracite fire should ever be allowed to emit a visible smoke, The gases in the form of a bluish flame carry off enough of the heat producing products. It would be well if all this could he retained and consumed; but we almost despair that this will ever be an accomplished fact. Drafts and dampers are too treqnently used without intelligent reference to their respec tive offices. Many leave the stove doors open and close the chimney damper. The effect is, to be snre, to retard combustion but at the same time the gases evolved, finding no es cape by the natural draft, are forced ont into the room, poisoning the atmosphere and ren dering the apartments uuhealtliy, inducing languor and headache. If the chimney dam per is elosed, or the passage to the chimney, the door or aperture above the fire should al so be closed, while the draft at the bottom of the fire, or under the grate; may be opened: for if the gases escape throngh this opening, they will have been neutralized by passing through the fire. In open grates the draft is frequently found to be insufficient. This 13 because too large a. portion of the fire is exposed. A het of boiler plate covering a portion of the grate bottom will in many cases improve the draft, reduce the consumption of coal, and, at the same time, increase the available heat. Some persons, especially inexperienced help, do not know how to distinguish between uuconsumed or coked coal and valueless clinkers, as the former may be coated with white ashes. It may be accepted ft* a general truth that in a grate, or stove furnace, or fire box, the clinkers, being of a senii-metallic nature, sink and the unconsun.cd coal be left on the top. We have found it to be economi cal to gather the top lumps by hand before disturbing the mass. Thus, most of the un consumed portions will BV; recovered, andean be used again. In many cases this will prevent the necessity of silting *!)• ashen and picking out the scoria. In sifting it is a good practice to drench the ashes in the sieve with water. Much that would otherwise be rejected will be found to be pure coal, the water washing off the coating of ashes, and exposing the "black diamonds," which arc frequently in fine pasticles. These savings are valuable to be used when the re quirements of cooking or if particularly sharp airs do not demand a brisk fire. Even the ashes that escape through the sifter, when made into a mortar with water, are serviceable. They may be used advantageously in pre serving the fire in a grate, and it is surprising how much of what might be otherwise con demned as waste can be made tbns to yield available beat. Coal should be kept under cover, exposed nci'her to the sun, the rain, or the frost. In sensible combustion and waste by the action of tbe elements rapidly diminish the heat producing qualities of even the hardest anthracite coal. By some this possible waste is estimated as high as fifty per cent. This may be an exaggerated estimate, but that it is considerable the observation and experience of twenty years warrant us in confidently affirming. Even the fine dust left in the coal bin is valuable. Mixed into a mortar, as we advise with the ashes, it gives out an intense heat, greater than that of lump coal because of the more readiness with which the oxygen of the atmosphere can permeate the mass; and here we may give a few words of advice. Small sized coal is more economical than large coal, especially for household purposes, if the grate is adapted to tbe size, for the reason just staled. To prove this let one take a lump of anthracite as large as a man's fist "all alrve," and crack it so as to expose the interior, it will be found to be entirely black inside and undisturbed by the heat. These practical suggestions and facts, on accompanied by scientific reasons are submit ted for the consideration of our readers. We m ight have given the philosophy of combus tion as applied to anthracite coal, but pre ferred to make a few simple statements, leaving our renders to trace the truths hack to their source. We are confident, however, that an observance of these rules will result I in a valuable saving of coal. Scow COACHES. —In every community there exists a class of people whe regard newspa pers, railroads, steamboats and the other great improvements of the age as nutaeoces. They can give no reason other than that they them selves are too far behind the limes to compre hend the use of such institutions. They neith er patronize one nor i.be other of these great levers of civilization, and Rlwsys studiously avoid making themselves acquainted with the outside world: These persons are to be known, as a general thing, by a eertaiu bom bastic swagger they have, endeavoring to pass a counterfeit article of gas for genuine infor mation. They are like the Indian, forced to fall back before the enterprise of men who see merit in these ihixtgs, nnd turn them to their own benefit. Scarcely ever knowu to advertise, as a natural consequence their busi ness is limited. In time they die out; others of a different cbe.nicter take their places and reap the benefit of (heir folly. Millions have been made by a judicious use of printer's ink. The result of an advertisement may not be seen immediately, but it will show itself in time, and for one dollar invested in advertis ing, the advertiser will gain ten. Outside of mere selfish motives, it should be the pride of all to have in their midst a good local news paper, one that will reflect credit on the community. WHAT IT Wocij) Bey.—Let the young man who smokes but a single cigar a day stop and count how mncb better investment he might make of his money. Instead of expending his thirty-fivo ceuta a week for tobacco to stupefy his brain, weaken his nerves and be foul his breath, he cao purchase for the same mdney, each week, one of our best maga zines and secure an abundant supply of the very best periodical literature of the country from which to store his mind with useful knowledge and cultivate a taste for reading, thereby fitting himself for the enjoyment of the society of the intelligent and cultivated. For the same money lie may buy a copy of Webster's Dictionary unabridged, a perfect treasury of knowledge, worth a whole library of ordinary books, and have enough left to purchase the works of three orfour of our best native poets as Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant, Ac. Young man, throw away your cigars and tobacco and instead of was-ingyour mon ey in smoke set to work to purchase a library and store your mind with useful knowledge ad you witl never regret the change.

ADVERTISTNO should not be neglected by the business man any mare than the sowing of seed by the farmer, if a good, prosperous, profitable, active, paying business is expected. The farmer may reap without sowing, but the crop would not be the most profitable; grass and weeds would predominate. The merchant may keep from public view his goods and enterprise, and as he may have a personal acquaintance, may do n limited business. Some men may be so constituted, as to be satisfied, but the active, progressive, live, useful business man conld not be eon tent.

A in sr nan is a locomotive, and life a track. Every night he drives into "ihe house," and stops. Every morning he is fired } up anew, and away he goes switching off in : one direction and then in another. In this routine of business he forgets that the physic al organization is of the most delicate kind.

THE OLD FRANKLIN ALMANAC. —This calen dar has now become an invaluable anoual of reference. It may be styled an encyclopaedia ! in miniature, contaiuing as it does valuable iaformation on every useful topic. The issue for 1869 is an improvement on all its prede cessors. The general plan which first gave the "Old Franklin" popularity, has been ad heared to, but it has been extended. The edition for 1869 contains sixty-eight pages, replete with valuable facts aud statistics, that every man of average intelligence will have occasion to consult many times during the coming year. A. Winch, 505 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is the Publisher. HEAVT Sscws.— On Friday morning the 4th inst., between ten and eleven o'clock snow began to fall and continued until Satur day morning when it had attained a depth of ten inches. On monday morning the 7th inst., about 3 o'clock it began snowing again, continuing until noon when the snow meas ured 12 inches, making with the former fall 22 inches, quite an unusual depth of snow for the season, beside a fall ef from 8 to 15 inches on the the 20th ult. The weather has since become cold and stOTmy and winter ap pears to have begun in earnest, with a pros pect of plenty of fine -sleighing. THE Pennsylvania State Temperance Union has been doing an active business this year. Its agents report the delivery of not less than three hundred speeches and sorraons since the first of Jan nary 1868. Any friend of Temperance desiring its claims advocated in their respective localities can be accommo dated by writing to William Nicholson, Esq. Secretary, No 115, South 7th Street, Philadel phia or Rev. Penneli Combe, 513 Arch Street Philadelphia. A State Temperance Convention will be held at Harrisburg in Feb ruary 1869 of which full notice will be given. TUE tableaus and festivals for the benefit of the Cemetery Association are under way, and will come olf during the holidays. Every body should feel an interest in this enterprise as it is for an improvement which will be an honor to the town and one iu which all are more or less concerned. If we wish to beau tify the Cemetry grounds it is time something is done. If every one does hie share, no oue will feel the burden, and it is a cause in which none are justifiable in shirking duty.

NOW IS THE TIME TO SECURE A CHEAP NEWSPAPER FOR THE COMING YEAR. The Republicans of Pennsylvania achieved a glorious victory in October and November, by electing their State and National candi dates, notwithstanding the immense frauds committed by our political opponents. It now remains with the people to see that the standard bearers of our glorious party are properly sustained in their efforts to establish confidence in the stability of our institutions, renewed activity in all its branches of indus try. and the restoration of amity and good fellowship with all the people of onr common country. THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST. Y\ bile personally we desire rest from the political turmoil, at least for a while, we can not close our eyes to the fact that our ever vigilant opponents are already preparing for the Gubernatorial contest next year: and as we believe that in time of peace vc should prepare for war, we would exhort our politic al friends to make preparations for coming contingencies at once, and CIRCULATE THE NEWSPAPERS among your neighbors. If you have a Re publican paper in your county that is true and reliable to the party, it should be preferred to those printed in other countries. After you have done this, and you and your friends desire a true and reliable Republican journal from abroad, we would recommend to you either the WEEKLY OR DAILY' TELEGRAPH. They are published at the seat of our State Government, and will contain full reports of the doings of the National and State Legisla tures. They will sustain our triumphantly elected leaders in the establishment of "Peace" all over the land with all the power they can command. TERMS OF THE DAILY: 1 copy, one year $6 00 5 copies " in one package (per copy,) 5 00 10 copies, one year, in one package (per club,) 45 00 1 copy, during the session of the Legis lature 1 50 10 copies, during the session of the Leg islature 10 00 TERMS OF THE WEEKLY: 1 copy, one year $1 50 5 copies, " (per cony) 1 25 10 copies, " " ...•. 1 00 Clubs of from 20 to 50 will be" furnished at lower rates. These terms will hardly pay for the cost of the white paper on which the Telegraph is printed, and therefore the cash must accom pany the order. Address. GEO. UERGNER. u0v27:08 Harrisburg Pa.
