Eight mot buaof the pEtrauK will ke the third year of Its existence, and we wish we could hope that the many accounts standing open on oar books could be closed at the same time. We Lave tried dunning through our paper, we have tried collecting through the hands of legal gentlemen, and we bare tried to get what la dueua In sever al localities by the aid of a special visiting agent. All these schemes were comparative failures, and the last one, while it resulted )u securing a most insignificeut proportion of our jut dues, cost us not lees than thirty per cent, of the am onnt realized. Not be ing able to "stand the pressure," we were forced to abandon this method before all the localities were visited, and hence fall back spon first principles in hopes of meeting with better success, if those who owe Us in tend to pny lis at all. On the 21st of January next, when the present volume closes, there will be due us for subscriptions, advertising, etc., over fif teen hundred dollars, and we propose to get every cent of that amount that can be got. If not by voluntary then by forced payment.' and with that object in view we have deter mined npon the following procedure, which shall be carried out to the letter : Every person who will pay U8 what they owe xxt before the 25th of December will be charged only 42 per year for subscription nd ad vanced rates for advertising, etc. ; those who Ao not pay before that date, but do pay be fore the close of the volume, will be chargtd tea per cent, additional, end those who ne glect, to pay all arrearages previous to the 21st of January will be charged twenty-five per cent., with the additional proviso that those who have paid us nothing since we commenced the publication of the Fbkemak, and who do not take advantage of either of the propositions here made, will have their papers discontinued, and suit for the recov ery of our claims will be brought in every instance iu which the delinquent parties are worth su'mg. Of course this last clause will apply only to those who will then owe us for the entiro three years, but the other propo sitions are offered for the acceptance of all Indebted to us for one or more years. Our prominent desire in collecting our money be fore ths 25th of December is to enable us to purchase new material with which t com mence the new volcme, and this should be done during the holydays in order to have it In time for that purpose. That our paper needs now trpas, and coeds them badly, is apparent to every reader, and we sincerely hope that the money with which to purchase them will be forthcoming at the proper time. During December court the greater portion vf thoac.in arrears can cither bring or send, us what they owe us. Those who cannot teach us -iu that way, have the mail and other facilities at their command. And uow a few words as to the future. The proper way to support a paper is to pay for it in advance. This method savei trouble and annoyance to all parties, aud no person who wishes to see his county paper prosper and desires to render it worthy of support, .hould fiil to adopt this plan. In order, therefore, to encourage all to do so, we pro pose to accept $176 for tho next volume of the Fekemas, if that amount is paid pre vious to or during the March term of court. On the other hand, if payment is not made before the 1st of May next, $2.25 will bo charged; and If not paid before the 1st of August following, $2.60 will be required. We have- fully made up our mind to adhere to these terms in the future, without regard to persons, and those who wish to save the extra 25 or 60 cents will understand how it can be done. We trust that all indebted, no matter whether they owe us much or lit tle, will settle before the close of the present volumo aud commence the next one on the pay-in-advance principle. If tbey will do thU, we will furnith them a much neater and much better paper than has ever been published in this corJnty. A Fruitless Mission. E. B, Washburne, of Illinois, is the Amer ican Minister at Paris, with an annual sala ry of f 17.500. aud Alexander Ramsey is a Radical United States Senator from Minna iota, with an annnal salary of 45.000, and mileage at tho rate of twenty cents per mile. When a man is sent to represent this gov ernment at a foreign court, be is supposed to be competent for an intelligent discharge cf the duties of hia position. In former times each was the theory, but under this "model administration" tho presumption of ftness, in several conspicuous instances, would be a rioleDt ene. It seems that the Tost Master General was desirous of negotiating a postal treaty with the government of France. Who. then, was the proper person to repre sent the Post Office department in such a negotiation. Moist unquestionably it was E. B. Washburoe. who had been sent to Paris to supervise all questions tbat might arise between his own government and that of France. However unfit he may be to repre sent the United States, either at Parts, or any other European Capitol, we will concede that be is competent to make a treaty r'eg& lating the rales of postage between the two countries. It docs not require any very great tJD?uut if I'laiti; tod.;. But AlexaaJcr Uamsey and his family were ambitions- r.f seeing the far-famed tights of F;irU at the erptntf of the government. ' He was accord . lugly specially commissioned to betakeliiro self to Paris and conclude the aforesaid treaty. He baa spent several monthala.the "gayest Capitol in Europe, living like a prtr.cn and mingling in court circles, and the following paragraph tells the result of hut mission : Senator Ramsey has been unsuccessful tn hia effort to negotiate a new Postal Treaty with France. Minister Washburn could certainly have done as well, and nine thou sand dollam in gold would hare been eaved. Put then Senator R-imsey would have mUstd a free trip to Paris. Here then are nine thousand dollars in gold of the people's money literally thrown away upon a political f.vorite. The Pot Master General might Joat an well, if he had the authority, have put his hand into tho treasury and made a present of that amount tJ Mr. liimsej. This is the economy, this the retrenchment with the loud promifrs of which the cars of tho peoplo were so pleas antly tickled one short year ago! Put why waste words in discussing it. It aoiLetioics seems to us, that the more the people are robbed and plundered, the better they like it. The case is flagrant notorious and yet it has not met with one word of repre hension from the radical press. - It is the wanton and illegal expenditure of the public money in this way that builds up mountain high the annual expenses of the government and which is sorely oppressing the people and crushing them asbutweeu the upper and nether millstone. Hoffman and Geary. John T. Hoffman, the present Democratic Governor of New York, is a gentleman of culture and refinement and undoubted integ rity. He occupies a prominent position among the yonng and rising statesmen of the day, and his .politic! friends in the Empire State can point to him with a feeling of con scious pride. In view of the fact that at the recent elec tion iu that State the Democratic State tic ket was elected by a majority of over twenty thousand, and, for the first time in fifteen years, a majority in both branches of the Legislature secured, the friends of Gov. Hfff man complimented him with a serenado at Albany, on Friday night the 6th inst., and from the speech which he delivered in re sponse ws take the following extract: I notice that moft of the radical papers in Alt-any aud New York are asking What will tbey do with it? ' thil is. with the vic tory. I am hardly disposed to tell them quite yet. I prefer to give them a little time to dipest the returns, and when these are fully digested we propose to Rive them mme information as to- what we will do with it. In my .observations I have found that knowledge suddenly acquired is never very profitable, but I wilt tell them in general terms one or two things we propose to do. Wo propose to make the legislature of the state of New York honest,' and that is what they have not done in some time. We pro pose to use the legislature for the purpose of promoting the interest of the mass pf the people, and not the interest of the few, which the radicals have not done for a long time. " The Evening Journal has stated that for many years there have been few' men in the republican legislatures who could be bought. We will show them that in the democratic legislature there w ill be none of that kind. We propose to give to the people of the State of New York, all over, the rijht of self-government. Wo propose to abolish such laws as infringe upon the rights of lo calitie. and secure to thern the risht to gov em themselves. We will not abolish such laws and give the people something worse, but will give them better lawn. We pro poso to make the state of New York, and the government in all its branches, thoroughly democratic. "lam aware of the responsibility this vic tory imposes. Iam aware of the responsi bilities it imposes on rue as the Executive of tide State. I realize their magnitude, and I will not Kny I have no fear of them ; but by the help of the people and their representa tive, and all the good counsels I can get, J hope to so discharge its duties that the peo ple w-ill approve of my action. I believe that the legislature which is ahout to assem ble and legislate upon the affairs of this great State will act with such wisdom and disc re tion as to show to the people of the State and country that the democracy of this State can be as moderate in the honr of victory as they have bee.n patient in the h-mr of defeat. We will be discreet an! tolerant. We will recognise honest mn among our adversa ries, and we will deal justly and honorably, and promote the ereat interests of the peo ple of tha State of New York, who have de manded and worked the change." Theae are tho wordr of an honest man and one who has a proper appreciate ion of the weighty rcsposibilities of his high position He knows the power with which the consti tution of his State has ermed him for the protection of the rights of the people, and he possesses the courage to nse it. There is an impassable gulf between Hoffman and Geary. Just before the last election. John W. Geary delivered a speech at Troy, in Bradford county, in which he male the dis graceful and humiliating confession, that he was powerless to prevent special legislation From iht miserable and cowardly harangue ono would conclude tbat the veto power did not exist, aud yet it is incorporated in our constitution aud was placed there for the ex press purpose of enabling an honest Execu utive to arrest hasty and corrupt legislation. The pa6t history of John W. Geary's official acts and his tame subservience tn the un scrupulous purposes of legislative rings, may therefore be taken as an unerring index to the future. John T. Hoffman is a states man a man of nerve and indomitable will, and is not to be frightened from a stern dis charge of his duty. John rV. Gary is a po litical trickster and a demagogue tbat and nothing more. He knows the right and yet the wrong pursues. It is Hyperion to a Satyr. i A Tbkbible boiler explosion occurred at a paper mill iu Carskill, N.

He was conspicuous in the Mexi can war, having selected the ground and commanded the army in the first part-'of the battle of Buna Vista. In 1882 he wan pro moted to the full rank of Major General, but owing to his declining health he did. noVlake any very active part in the late civil war. r , , Robert J. Walker died in Washington city on Thursday lat, 11th inst.. aged G8. He was born in Sunbury, in this State, and commenced the prcctice of law in Pittsburg in 1821. where he at once took an active part in politics. He had the credit of being the first man to bring Andrew Jackson's name forward as a candidate for the Presidency. In 1828 he removed to Natchez. Mixsiesippi. and in 1885 was elected United States Sena tor. He took a prominent and influential part in the annexation of Texas, and when James K. Polk came; into office, in 1845, be appoiuted Mr. Walker Secretary of the Treasury. ; His tucceRtful adminutration of. the national finances is a part of the history of the country. Daring the administration of Mr. Buchanan he was appointed Gover nor of Kansas, but only held the ofQc for a brief period. He -was a remarkable man and exercised great influence on the affairs of the country. Amos KrsDALL died at his country resi dence near Washington city, on the 12th ii.si., sged 80 years. ' He was a native' .f Massachusetts He studied law and in 1814 removed to Kentucky. In 1816 he -became one of the editors of The Argus of Western America, the leading democratic j mrnal of Kentucky; published at Frankfort, the capi tol of tbe State. In 1829 he was appointed F.nrth Auditor of th Treasury by Geperaj Jackson, and in 1835 was made Post Master General. Mr. Kendall held this office' 'until the close of Martin Van Bnren'a administra tion. Since that time (1841) he has resided in Washington. As a political leader be was without an equal, and . as a political writer he was unsurpassed. His advice and counsel were all powerful with President Jackson, and the production of some -of " Old Hickory's " ablest and most remark able State papors was attributed to tbe gift ed and ready pen of Amos Kendall. Original Communications. ACCIDENTS raoit LAMP EXPLOSIONS. A CAUTION TO THR rtBLIC. To the Editor of the Cambria Freeman : Kerosene must be considered among the wonderful developmeute of the a?e. The name Kerosene is a fanciful one." It origin ated with one of the early manufacturers, and now possesses a general significance. It is applied not only to tbe oil distilled from coals, but to the illuminating liquid which come from earth oil. or petroiiurn. . It is needful that this important article should have a name genorally understood and adopt ed, and the word Kerr.se.P6 is at pood as any that might be suggested, and for my present porp&e I will adopt and use it when and wherever needful to express or identify a burning fluid known by many as coal oil. it being rectified or distilled from Petroleum. I have long since felt that it was the du ty of every journalist in the land to take up thohe Fc.oundrela who are connected with the oil frauds and drive them to the wall ; yet no one seems to comprehend the gigantic importance of the subject. I therefore feel stimulated by the de.structahle articlo in my owe household to commence an exposition. Fortunately, damage in my case was pre vented by a timely warning Immediately after the threatened explion I tested the fluid and found it to be very, very danger ous Sorry I am to acknowledge. that the article in question was obtained very near home. It is indeed alarming to learn of the extent to which dangerous naptbas and nap iha mixtures are used in this country. I think it safe to infer that nearly one-half of the liquids used in the country are fraudu lent and dangerous. I have had a number of receipts sent me (from New York and Boston) fr the manufacture of these spuri ous and dangerous fluids, and the following i one cf them : , Take 1 lb. of camphor. 2i oz. oil of spruce,' I r.z alkanet root. Mix all together in one gallon of benzine, stirring well for tn minute; then poor into a bar rel -40 gallons benzine stir til! well incorpo rated, and it is fit for use. Pulverized al um and other ingredients are added in oth er receipts, for the alleged purpose of de stroying the expIoHive properties of the flu id. One dollar is charged for a family right to use these mixtures. Each vender of re ceipts has a name peculiar to his own liking or fancy; for example, the Solar." . the " Crystal "and the Kureka " burning flu id, etc., etc. These charlatans will allege, with all seeming candor and truthfulness, that their fluids are harmless perfectly safe and non-explosive and to prove the safo character of their fluids, will thrust a lighted taper or match into the lamp "or va pors ; which is feemingly very plausible testimony.: But. gentle reader, do not.be deceived. That is wholly and entirely, em pirical. No oil or vapor, either- naphtht benzine, or gasolene, aro in themselves ex plosive. The vapor of these liquids must be mixed with atmospheric air in order to ex plode. ' ' " The -shocking occurrences reported as Kerosene ! lamp explosions have become fearfully frequent of late. They are of al most daily occurrence. This is really an alarming state of aff.iirs. I saw some time since the report pub'ished of fourteen deaths and nine pertna very seriously injured all in one week. . Now these are not accidents they are murders. From the lxwt testimony we are assured beyond cavil that no serious accident has ever resulted from true Kerrv sone oil which will stand the fire test of no Fahrenheit. Hear the testimonj of Dr. Nichols, the well-known Boston chemist, de livered before th legislative committer of Massachusetts. He says : " Kerogene oil of the lesal standard, viz . such as would not take fire below 110 Fahrenheit, could not explode, and was as safe as candle ; and witb snch Kerosene there was a positive as surance of safety." He further stated that for many years he had experimented with burning fluids and did not believe a w.Tious accident ever occurred from Kerosene which would stand tb fire tet nf 110 " Again, nee what the Chemical Journal Favs on the subj-ct : So much has b-en said respect ing the explosive nature of Kerosene., this point demands consideration. A general iiapt'cfoloa prevalla among oa';timc"r; that Kerosene is'exptosive and its ue " attended with a considerable amount- of danger.. Such, however, is not the case ; it is no more explosive thauwater, aod.lhe employment of properly "prepared oil U safe under all or dinary eonditlns." So much. tben;f r the incontrovertable tes'ifimony of the inxplo te parur of pure KeroMmc jM' Yet scarce Iv. a welujSwes that we are not stajtled by an "account of sotne dreadfnl accident a:Uiug from the exphniow (if Kerosrne lamp. This state of affiirs h all wrong and should have the proper remedies applied. The wicked men who.re engaged iu Uiauuctu-t rng dangerous naptha mixtures, and" also the vender, deserve the severest punish ment. The Peansyl vania Legislature passed a'bill called the Calamity bill, which wasw hastily signed by his Excellency, tha mod ern Darius Uystaspe. which bill every man In the State denounces, except Rail Road cwners and tbm paid to advance their in terests. Yet it is a model of equity com pared with the act of Congress of March 2d. 1867. In the amended United State In ternal Kevenoe Law. sec.20, we read: "And be it further enacted, that no person or per sons' shall mix for sale naphtha and illumin ating oils, or shall knowingly sell or keep for sale, or offer for sale, mch mixtures, or shall sell or offer for sale oil mad from petroleum, for illuminating purposes, infl till able, at a less temperature or fire' test than one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit ; and any person so doing shall be held to be guilty of of a misdemeanor, and on convic tion thereof by indictment, or presentment, in any court 0 : the United States having competent jurisdiction, shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars. nor more than five'hundred dollars, and by 1 imprisonment for a term of not less than six' mon' hs nor more than three years " This is clear and explicit. Under the act this whole class of "mixers and aduUerers, wherever found in the United States, can be arrested and punished; The sellers of receipts, the mixers and dishonest dealers who are jeop ardizing the lives of thousands, all should be brought to feel the full measure of the law. However inadfquate it is or may be, enforce what is of it. No matter how many lives may have been j?opardi3ed or sacrifirod. the highest penalty is $500 fine and three ytars' imprisonment only. . There can be no amel- .iorating circumstances to justify the manu- lacture 01 so dangerous an arircie. ieroene, of legal standard, can be had at from 26 to 28 cents per gallon by the barrel. Retail ers charge about 200 per cent, profit, yet it is still the cheapest and xafest burning fluid that ean be procured.. There has been nn tew iliscoveries in chemical science which will enable ersons to manufacture hydro carbon fluids, safe to burn in dwellings and shops, which are cheaper or better than pure Ker-osenc oil. A gin, no chemical substance, liquid or ndid. can be added to dangerous flu ids -to render them nonsexploMve, without destroying their illuminating properties., Consumers do not need any safety devices to burn good oil. as no explosion can occur from its use. Kerosene of legal standard is perfectly safe under all usual or tinusual cir cumstances ; and when any of those mounte banks who sell receipts for manufacturing dangerous fluids come under your observa tion it behooves ycu as a Christian to have sucb person or persons arrested at once, either for .obtaining raney under false pre tences or for the violation of the irteinal revenue law, or both. In laying in your supplies you cannot be too cautious of whom you purchase, and when y-u make your pur chases be certain tbat it is pure Kerosene of legal standard. The way to test it is as fol lows:; Take a quart bowl and fill about one-third full of hniling water : then add cold water. until your Thermometer, suspended iu the water, will indicate 110 ; then pour one tablespoonful of the oil to be tprted into the water, stirring with the Thermometer for a few seconds ; then apply a lighted taper iV match thereto if it ignites and burns, re. jct it at once as danserous, (in. order to as certain the correctness of ycur Thermome ter, when your water i3 in a state of ebulli tion or boiling hold the bulb of your instru ment over the steam until we'd warmed up; then put into the water, and if the mercury indicates 212 it is correct.) and return it to the vender and demand your money. You bad much better pay $5 for one pound of candles than fill your Ump once with dan gerous fluid. Let every one adopt such a plan and in a' short time you can obtain le gal standard Kerosene at any and all of the shops, and empiricism will W annihilated. It is fortunate that even with light naphtha mixture it is so difficult to place a lamp in a condition to exphnle. If it were otherwise a - thousand accidents would occur where there is now but ono.
