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doors and giowingcoal fires have superseded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. An enterprising business man will in
vest his capital in an advertisement and ex
piect a return with the same confidence as he
would in his rent or in the goods he sells.—

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.
If a hard iron locomotive needs constant care
and to be well oiled up and rubbed off every
day, how much more necessary is it that all
meu and women should use PLANTATION BIT
TERS, which are the ne plus ultra of every
thing which is necessary to keep the system
in a perfect tone of health.
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.

RPHIF! DAILY A WEEKLY TELEGRAPH
FOR 1868-9.
PREPARE FOR THEORBERNATORIAL
CAMPAIGN.
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

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.
