Ice Houses,
Every fhmily that can get access to
ice in the winter should have an ice
house. It is a luxury in the summer
that no ono should voluntarily dis
pense with; and independent of its val
ue as a luxury, it is never once used
in a household without ever thereafter
being considered a necessity. Its in
estimable value in many cases of sick
ness; its medicinal properties in many
complaints incident to the heated sea
son, particularly in of of the
bowels; and its utility in the preberva-
Lion of meats, improvement of butter,
&c., commend it highly to all classes
of people, and they should not he with
out it.
The great difficulty that stands in
the way of the general use of ice, is
the popular error that an ice house
trust necessarily cost considerable
money and labor. This is a delusion
that should be speedily dispelled. The
great difficulty in keeping ice in the
country has been that ice houses have
ahnost invariably been constructed
with too much care, labor and expense.
It. was once thought that ice could be
preserved only by a deep pit in the
ground, walled up, drained, lined with
tan or saw dust, covered with sttaw,
and kept hermetically sealed. Three
"years ago we found just such an ice
house disdgoring our premises when
we took posses.tion of them. If for no
other reason, the unsightly thatch
over the squatted, ill-shaped structure,
within u lbw yards of the house, doom.
ed it to destruction; but fortunate the
proper preservation of ice demanded
its removal quite as imperatively as
did its want of comeliness.
Underground ice houses are just the
worst possible places to preserve it
They cost five, times as much as a good
ice house should cost. and waste kitty
per cent of the ice, while a cheaper
and properly constructed building will
save half the waste., afford easy access,
and can be made ornamental by a few
scolloped Imards and the occasional in
troduction of a little white wash. It
is impossible to keep an underground
icc house dry. and no 0110 Or Ordinary
intelligence need be told that moisture
is the most destructive enemy that ice
has to encounter in the simmer. Equ•
ally erroneous 8110 to_tbe preser
sation-of ice is the popular idea that
it must be kept, closely. confined •
the air. ke thus closed up in air tight
buildings is destroyed by the moisture
it creates itself; while the free circula
tion of air over the top of the ice dis
sipates the deadly moisture and adds
vastly to its safety.
Any man who can put up four cor
ner posts and nail boards on them can
build the very hest kind of an ice
house. The location should be rather
high, so that moisture wit! not gather
about it. The posts can be sunk in
the ground—they should be about toil
feet high and four inches square will
do; weatherboarded closely outside,
and the earth packed about the bot
tom boards so as to prevent the circu
lation of air under the ice. Ten inch
es of tan—or saw dust is better if it
can be had—should be thrown into
the bottom of the house on the ground.
Then a floor should be laid, not too
closely, and inclining to the side where
water will most readily be carried a—
way from about the house. This with
a roof completes an icehouse that will
preserve ice ten fold better than any_
of the old style houses, which cost ten
fold more. It will improve an ice
house to use posts eight inches square,
line the building inside with light
boards, and fill the space between the
weather boarding and lining with tan
or saw dust; but, it is not necessary to
the preservation of ice. The roof
should project over the side of the
building, and there should be an open
space of at least ten inches under the
roof, by leaving off the top weather
hoard, so as to allow the freest possi
ble circulation of air over the body of
iee inside. By projecting the root the
rain cannot blow in on the ice, and
thus ventilation is secured without en
dangering the lee in wet weather. It
will rather add to the value of the
house to have good sized windows in
each gable end, dosed up by slat shut
ters so constructed as to admit air and
exclude rain. These should be hung
on hinges and in (dear weather should
be thrown open, and in wet weather
closed. Ever bear in mind that the
circulation of air over ice canna be
too free.
In filling a simple, cheap ice house
such as we propose, it is only necessa
ry to lay ten inches of saw dust. on the
floor, then lay your ice compactly, lea
ving a foot of space between it and
the weather boarding alt around. It
the weather is very cold when you
put ice up. as it should be, fill the
crevices between the cakes as well as
possible and spi ink le water over each
layer as long as it will freeze, and thus
Ab e w ho're becomes one compact body
price. When filled up within two feet
of the top of the square, it is full en
ough. Then, fill the space between
the weather boarding and the ice hell
with saw dust, cover the ice at least
foot with saw dust, thatch your roof
inside ivith straw to keep the heat of
a low roof' from effecting the ice, and
you have an ice house at a trifling ex
pense that will keep ice in the beit
possible manner. Such a simple, cheap
structure is within the means of al—
most every family, and we assure our
readers that the very simplicity of the
building is its greatest virtue in pre
towing ice.

feeble that ho cannot live touch long
er. lie is in his eighty first year.
The President at Home,
The gossippy correspondent of the
Boston Journal, Perioy, sends that pa
per the following readable account of
daily life at the White house :
"Mr. Lincoln is an early riser, and
he thus is able to devote two or three
hours each morning to his voluminous
private correspondence, besides glan
cing at a city paper. At nine he break
fasts—then walks over to the War Of
fice to read such war telegrams as they
give him, (occasionally some are with
held,) and to have chat with Gen. Hal
leek on the military situation, in which
lie takes a great interest. Returning
to the White House he goes through
with his morning's mail in company
with a private Secretary. Some kit
tens are indorsed and sent to the de—
partment—others are intrusted to the
Secretary, who makes a minute of the
reply which he is to make—and others
the President retains, that he may
answer them himself. Every letter
receives attention, and all which are
entitled to a reply receive one, no mat- I
ter how they are worded, or bow inel
egant the chirography may be.
Tuesdays and Fridays are Cabinet
days, but on other days visitors at the
White House are requested to wait, in
the anteehain her, and send in their
cards. Sometimes-, before the Presi
dent has finished reading his mail,
Louis will have a handlid of paste.
Board. and from the cards laid before
him, Mr. Lincoln has visitors ushered
in. giving preference to itequaintanees
Three or four hours do they pour in,
in rapid suecession,. nine out of ten
asking offices, and patiently , does the
President listen to their applications.—
Care and anxiety have furrowed his
rather homely features, yet occasion
ally he is reminded of an anecdote,
and good humored 'lances beam from
his clear grey eyes, while his ringing
laugh shows that -he is not "used up"
yet.
The simple and natural manner in
which ho delivers his thoughts makes
him appear to those visiting him like
an earnest, affectionate friend. He
makes little parade of his legal science,
and rarely indulges in speculative
propositions, hut states his ideas in
plain Anglo Saxon, illuminated by
many lively images, and pleasing allu
sions, which scents to flow as if hi obe
dience to a resistless impulse of his na
tare. Some newspaper admirer at
tempts to deny that the President tells
s•ories. Why it is rarely that any one
is in his company for fifteen minutes
without hearing a good tale, appropri
te-tcy the subje,et tiilked'abou t.• Many
a metaphysical argument does he de
molish. by simply telling an anecdote,
which exactly overturns the verbal
structure.
About four o'clock the President do
clines seeing any more company, and
often accompanies his wife in her car
riage, to take a drive. He is fond of
horseback exercise, and when passing
the summer at the Soldier's Horne,
used generally to go to and feu in the
saddle.
Tho President dines at six, and it is
rare that some personal friends do not
grace the round dining table, where
he throws off the cares of office and
reminds those who have been in Ken
tucky of the old school gentleman who
used to dispense generous hospitality
there. Prom the dinner table-the par
ty retire to the crimson drawing room,
where coffee is served, and where the
President passes the evening, unless
soma dignitary has a special inter
view. Such, lam informed, is the al
most unvarying daily life of President
Lincoln, whose administration will
rank next in importance to that of
t.Vashington in our national annals.
Mrs. Jeff. Davis and Fort Sumter,
In an article on the encouragement
given by Northern Democrats to the
authors of the Rebellion, in the Rart
ford Courant, we find the following in
cident related :
Scone—Jeff. Davis' parlor at Wash
ington, shortly before the arch•traiton
left to consummate his infaMolls Cri o.
Present. Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis and a
lady from New York, whom we will
call )Jr.s A. A conversation ensued
between the ladies relative to public
affairs, and the demand froin S. Caro
lina l'or Lilo surrender to the State au
thorities of the United States Fort
Sumter. Mrs. A. asked Mrs. Davis
what they would do if the Govern
ment refused to give up the Fort. Mrs.
Davis replied, "We wild fire on it; the
Fort helfings to South Carolina, and
she will have it, lot the consequences
be what they may."
Mrs. A. in astonishment, ronfarked.
"What, fire on Sumter! fire on the 'U
nited States flag !" "Yes," says Mrs.
Davis, "we will fire on Sumter, and
the flag which waves over it Illaßt
come down." Mrs. A. amazed at the
spoken treason of 'Mrs. Davis, again
said, "Fire on the flag ! shoot down the
flag of our country ! What do von
suppose would be the effect in New Y.
City ?" "The effect in New York city,"
says Mrs. Davis, • will be that ten
thousand strong arms will at once ral
ly in that city to the support of the
South." Mrs. A. more and more as
tonished, muck). to Mr. Davis, who
had taken no part in the conversation,
and asked him if he had riot a word of
rebuke for such language. Mr. Davis
replied by saying that his wifo was
mistaken relative to the effect in New
York city of firing onSumter, that not
ten. thousand, but twenty thousand men
of that city would rally to the stand
ard of the South.

HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1864.
-PERSEVERE.-
A Change in the Climate of Southern
Illinois,
A late number of Silliman's Journal
contains some interesting scientific
speculations by Mr. henry Engelman,
assistant, in the geological survey in
Illinois, upon the changes produced in
the climate olSouthorn Illinois, by the
new growth of timber which displaces
the tall grasses. Mr. Engelman says
"Timber is now encroaching spou.ta•
neously upon land ;formerly Occupied
by tall grasses; while on the contrary
old forests yield to the axe and plow
share; at the same time the rank prai
rie and barren grass die out. The ef
fect upon the climate, especially in de
creasing the humidity of the country,
must be . powerful, tind may be compa
red to the change df sensation which
we experienced on 1 clear summer eve.
:ling, in coming froM a sheltered damp
creek: bottom to the airy top of a dry
hill. the effect is similar to that pro
aced in other countries by the clear
ing of extensive forests.
The growth of dense tall grasqes, of
‘vhich untold generations have died
and rotted upon the Earn() spot, not
only protects the soil from the warm•
lug rays of the sun, and thus cheeks
evaporation, but it actually increases
the precipitation of moisture, especial.
ly in the form of dew, by the low de
gree of temperature consequent upon
the humidity of the surface and upon
the powerful radiation of heat from the
spears and leaves of (ho grass waving
in the night air, which can easily be
proved by experiment, grow much
colder• than the bare soil. The grasses
also cheek the surfaeo drainage most
effectually.
With their disappearances the above
effects cease, the soil becomes more
exposed to the direct rays of the sun
and to the dying breezes, while the
succeeding growth does not favor the
precipitation or• dew nearly us muoh as
the grass. The natural• impediments
to the speedy abduction of the falling
rains are so lessened to a considerable
degree and thus the soil is rendered
drier. The artificial works of drain
age, and even the catty and mats of the
roads, do their share also. The break.
ing up of the sward - and deep c•ultiva
Lion of the soil favilitate the sinking of
the water, and expose a greater sus face
of soil to the desiccating influence or
the sun and winds.
Every old set tier ean bear witness to
the remarkable and rapid change in
tho conditions of moitituro of the Arai•
ries. winch i 3 -3190 il:3lt'restott by the
gradual falling of the wells at numer
ous points. It is a common observa
tion that they must be dug much deep
er now than formerly in the same
Tho healthiness of the country
has thereby improved, and the farmer
is enabled to plant Much earlier and at
points which wore formerly too wet;
his loss by the freezing out of' the win
ter crops is much reduced.
The droughts in summer and fall are
perhaps also more severe at present,
but an advantage can seldom he gain
ed without some sacrifice, and a reme
dy is accessible, ifonly wo apply it; it
is 'through cultivation, and under
draining." Where these are practiced
the roots aro enabled to strike deeper,
beyond the direct influence of tho sun's
rays; a much larger quantity of the
soil is equalized ; its absorbing power
for• moisture and gases is vastly: in
creased, and the growth of the plants
is, consequently, much invigorated and
placed beyond the reach of sudden
changes of the weather.
tm, At the banquet, of the Sons of
New England, in the Astor House, in
New York, Major General Dix, after
thanking God that tho anciont geo
graphical boundaries aro being rapidly
regained by the armies of the Union,
said :
"The time is not far distant when
the elements of society in the United
States, Chas rudely and wickedly dis
turbed, must be re-adjusted, and the
old order of things re-established, pos
sibly with mnditications growing as
necessities out of the shock they have
sustained. With whom shall the con
ditions of the reunion be negotiated
and arranged ? Certainly -not with
the men who caused the war [loud and
prolonged applause,] and with it the
sacrifice of halt' a million of lives. Na
tional honor, retributive justice, re
spect for trio prhicipla of stability' in
established systems, a proper regard
for the generations which are to come
after us, and whose political organiza-
Lions will derive strength or weakness
from the issue of the mighty conflict
we are engaged in—all these eonside
rations demand that the architects of
disorder, Who have violated the public
peace and broken the social contract
they had sworn to observe, shall have
no part in our future government.—
With them we can never even negoti
ate for peace. When they shall have
been expelled from the country they
have devastated arid dishonored; when
their military power shall have been
broken and their threes dispersed, and
the deluded masses of the South shall
have been liberated from the tyranny
under which they have been crushed,
it will'bo time to make terms, not with
the guilty leaders, but with those whom
they have defrauded, plundered, and
oppressed."
The Dutchman and the Rebel Currency
During General Leo's invasion of
Pennsylvania last summer, a detach
ment of the rebel army had possession
for a few days of the thriving town of
Hanover, in'tho county of York, lying
some twenty or more miles wort of
Gettysburg. Apprised of their coming

goods safely out of the reach of the
pilferers. They secured but little boo
ty. What they could lay their hands
on, however, they did not fail to `bag.'
Among the heaviest losers was one
of the landlords of the town, the pro
prietor of a well stocked and well con
ducted country tavern. At his house
tho hungry rebels made themselves
"well at home." Without leavo or
li
cease, they devoured his stock of beef,
bacon, and poultry; consumed all his
flour, which they forced the landlady
to bake jnto bread and pies ; used his
forage, occupied his beds, and of coursh
drank up his entire stock of liquors.—
Of this, before they came, he had ton
or a dozen barrels, when they left, not
so many pints, for what they could not
guzzle on the spot, they contrived to
take along.
As they wore about taking their de
parture for Gettysburg, a Georgia Col
onel, exhibiting a degree of conscious
ness not shared by any of his associ
ates, remarked to the landlord that it
was a "pity" to consumo so much of
his property without any compensa
tion, and that if no ono else would ex.
tend justice to him, he would, at the
same time throwing on the bar a bill
of the denomination Of twenty dollars.
"There," said the rebel chieftain'"my
good fellow, tako that as my share of
our indebtedness." “Vot kind of ino•
ni.h is chit ?" inquired the landlord,
one of the class of Pennsylvania Ger
mans so proverbial alike for sagacity
and integrity.
"That, sir, is a greyback; in other
words, a note of the Confederate. State

Our Hair.
God covered the skull with hair.
Some people shave it off. Mischiev
ous practice. It exposes the brain. It
exposes the throat and lungs—the
oyes likewise, say wise phlsiologists.
Men become bald. Why ? Because
they wear close hats and caps. Wo
men are never bald except by. disease.
They do not wear close hats and caps.
Mon never lose a hair below where
the bat touches the head, not if they
have been bald twenty years. The
close hat holds the beat and perspira
tion. Thereby the hair glands be
come weak; the hair falls out. What
will restore it? Nothing after the
scalp becomes shiny. But in process
of filling ont, or recently lost, the fol
lowing is bust: wash the bead frifely
with cold water once or twice a day.
Wear a thoroughly ventilated bat.
This is the best means to arrest the
loss and restore what is susceptible of
restoration.
What will beautify a woman's hair?
Whatever will invigorate the hair
glands. Oils and most other applica
tions debilitate the hair glands. Cold
water is best. At first the head looks
like a witch, but after• a few weeks it
makes the hair luxuriant. By the per
sistent use of cold water I have seen
thin, poor hair become rich and curly.

Working Girls,
Happy girls—who cannot love them?
With cheeks like the rose, bright eyes
and elastic steps; luny cheerfully they
go to work. Our word for it, such
girls will make excellent wives. Bles
sed indeed will men be who secure
Huth prizes. Contrast those who do
nothing but sigh all day, and live to
follow the fashions; who never earn
the bread they eat, or shoes they wear;
who are languid and lazy from one
weeks end to another. Who but a
simpleton and it popinjay would pre
fer ono of the latter, if be were looking
for a companion ? Give us the work
ing girls.—They are worth their weight
in gold. You never see them mincing
along, or jumping a dozen feet to steer
clear of a spider or fly.—They have
no affectation, no silly airs about thorn.
When they meet you. they speak
without putting on hay a dozen airs,
or trying to r.how off to bettor advan
tage, and you feel as if you were talk
ing to a human being, and not to a
painted or fallen angel.
.11 girls knew how sadly they !nibs
it, while they endeavor to show off
their delicate hand and unsoiled skin.
and put on a thousand airs they would
give worlds for the situation of the
working ladies, who aro above them
in intelligence, in honor, in everything
as the heavens are above the eartb.
Be wise, then. You have made fools
of yourselves long- enough. Tarn , o
ver a new loAl and begin to live and
act as human beings, as companions
to immortal man.- In no other way
can you be happy and subserve the
purpose of your existence.

!EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
S. B. CHENEY, Editor,
To whom all Communications on tho sub
jest of Lineation Phould be addressed.
Many of the subjects of Arithmetic
as treated on by the different authors,
r are vastly different from the principles
I carried out in common practice, and
none more so than the principle of dis
count, and while the method adopted
in practice does not appear to be strict
ly legal on the one side, the illegality
must be sanctioned by the party in
whose Iltvor the discount is made, for,
by the method he is allowed a greater
discount than by what is called the
Book, or legal method. That is to say,
the man who owes me ono hundred
dollars for a year will have less to pay
as the present value of his note if I
take off a nominal discount; than if I
take 0- what is styled the legal dis
count ; and since the obligation is in
his favor he will not hold me to the
strict legality- of the matter, and as fair
as I am concerned, I apply the practi
cal method because it is the most ex
pedient. Again, a man may have a
sale of property amounting to say a
thousand dollars, and the credits may
be NiX and nine months.
Nov suppose his creditors wore to
offer cash payment, as is often the case,
on the evening of sale : By what is
called the legal method, it would re
quire a groat amount of time and labor
to discount all those notes, but by the
nominal, or the method commonly,
practiced, he can make his calculations
very rapidly, and dispose of his custo
mers as foist as they call on him; so
that what ho may lose on his sales, by
the practical method, he will make up
in the less amount of labor and time
which is required tv transact the busi
ness. There is hardly a business.man
in the country but practices the nomi
nal method; and yet our school books
treat of the subject in an entirely dif
ferent way, making more than double
the amount of work, and the difference
in the results aro a very small item.
True, when a sum of money is 'dis
counted, tho present worth•should be
such a sum, as would for the time for
which it was discounted, if put on in
terest, p"oduco the sum discounted.—
But when a man receives money be
fore it is duo, the favor is worth more
than merely the simple Intereat. on the
present worth, which is all that is con
sidered by the Book method; therefore
ho can afford to take a loss present
worth, or in other words, one hundred
dollars, duo one year hence, is worth
more when discounted and paid at Pre
sent, than if it were loft unpaid until
the end of the year. Then if it is
worth more. to the man to whom it is
due, to be paid cash; it is on the other
hand worth more to the man who owes
the money, arid is able to pay cash, to
keep the money until it is duo, and re
alize the profits arising from an appli
cation of the money to business trans
actions. If in the use of money six
per cont. were all that is allowed, or
ever made, by business mon upon the
capital invested, then tho book method
would bo the'only method, for it would
be just as well to wait for dues until
due as to receive cash, and bettor, we
might say, for your money would bo
out of the way. But to business mon
nix per cent. is entirely too small a fig
ure to realize from capital invested, and
hence they would prefer receiving all
dues cash, oven at a nominal diiicount,
and the creditor is unwilling to pay
before the time specified in the note no
matter what the discount may bo.
Now, if the foregoing %lowa of the
subject are correct I do not see why
the method in common practice should
not be adopted as the legal method,
and introduced into our text book.—
As it is, scholars expect to be taught
to' work out the problems which are
placed before them in their books, so
as to bring the book remit, and when
they leave the school and go into the
counting room they find their method
does not agree with the one practiced
there, hence they blame their teacher
for not instructing thorn properly.--=
Then to obviate the difficulty, the tea
cher uho would bo successful must
take both methods and make his-pu
pile entirely familiar with thorn, which
is always harder than if there worn
but ono, and that the one in common
practice. Besides the differonee spo
ken of, there aro also differences in re
gard to the inanner of calculating com
missions, and - percentages for collect
ing taxes, &e., which should all be bro't
to ono common system.' We make
those remarks, not for the purpose'of
being critical, btit that others may
take up and tberoughly Mestigatle
the Subject. If we aro Wr'Cligin our'
ideas we aro ever open to conviction,
nutt will yield the point, when con
ythf:'ed.
