Resignation.
We understand that Mi. Hall has found it
necessary to enlarge his School by adding a
new department, which 'Will so increase his
responsibilities as to prevent his laboring in
the Huntingdon Normal Institute; and that
he has resigned his place in the Faculty of
Instruction, and also withdrawn from the
Educational editorship. We have not now
space to express our opinion of the effect this
resignation will have on the proposed Insti
tute, but may refer to the subject hereafter.
Report of the Committee on "the Best
mode of Ventilating School Houses," at the
last meeting of the Pennsylvania State
Teachers' Association.
Having already discussed the importance
of Ventilation in our report on Physiology,
we will proceed to the "Best Mode of Ven
tilation." Your Committee will not presume
to say that the plan proposed in the follow
ing report is the "Best Mode of Ventilation ;"
but it is respectfully submitted to the Associ
ation as the best, which, after some reading,
reflection and correspondence upon the sub
ject, they are prepared to offer.
Thorough ventilation consists in the remo
val of vitiated air from a room as rapidly as
it is formed and the introduction of an adequate
amount of pure, fresh air. We will present
out a single plan, which we believe, recom
mends itself by its simplicity, cheapness and
efficiency ; since it is equally well adapted
to buildings of every description, whether
public or private.
Buildings are now generally warmed by
furnaces or stoves. Our wide old-fashioned
chimneys were most efficient ventilators;
and they furnish the principle by which we
are guided in the plan of ventilation here
proposed.
Let the emoke-pipe of the furnace or stove
enter a metalic tube ; let this tube rest upon
a base of stone or brick, situated in the attic
of the building, and form an outlet for the
smoke. Around this cast-iron flue construct
a circular brick chimney, plastered very
smoothly on the inside and raised to a height
a little above the flue. From this ventilating
chimney- to the room to be ventilated, extend
an exhausting tube of a capacity equal to
that of the ventilating chimney, and made
of thoroughly seasoned, sound pine boards,
planed smooth on the inner surface, and put
together with iron screws. This exhausting
tube should have two apertures within the
room to be ventilated,—one near the ceiling,
and the other near the floor, and of the same
diameter as the tube.
The upper aperture should be furnished
with a sliding register, so as to be opened or
closed at pleasure,—the lower one may be
covered with an open lattice work. This is
all the apparatus necessary for the removal
of vitiated air from a single room. It oper
ates as folloms :
The cast-iron smoke flue will be heated by
the ascending current of smoke and heated
air ; the air within the ventilating chimney
will thus be rarified, and consequently as
cend, producing a partial vacum within the
chimney ; to fill this vacum the air will rush
from the room up the exhausting tube into,
the chimney, and this air in its turn will
be rarified and ascend. A. continuous up
ward current wiN thus be established and
maintained as long as the stove or furnace is
kept heated, and the strength of this current
will be in direct proportion to the heat in the
stove.
When fire is not required in the stove or
furnace, this method of ventilation may still
be made effective by placing a ventilator on
the top of the ventilating chimney ; and this
is strongly recommended, inasmuch as, even
when fire is necessary, it renders the draft in
the stove more certain and the ventilation
more thorough.
These ventilators are of various forms,
(some movable and some stationary.) The
"Stationary Ejecting Ventilator," invented
by Mr. Emerson of Boston, seems to be the
most highly approved.
But if when fire is not needed, these ar
rangements should prove inadequate to se
cure perfect ventilation, let an argand lamp
be placed within the _ventilating chimney,
and this will always produce heat enough to
rarify the air sufficiently to ensure the requi
site draft in the exhausting tube. In large
bedidings a stove or grate should be used in
stead of the argand lamp.
The capacity of these ventiducts, both for
the admission and exhaustion of air, claims
special attention. Unless they are of suffi
cient capacity, the current of ascending air,
which rises with a spiral movement, is ob
structed, and consequently the escape of vi
tiated air will not be sufficiently rapid to en
sure thorough ventilation. Ia a room large
enough for sixty scholars, they should be
from twenty to twenty-four inches square ; a
cylindrical shape in all these ventilating
ducts would be preferable.
The foregoing plan has reference solely to
a single room ; any number of rooms, how
ever, may be ventilated in this manner by
extending a separate exhausting tube from
each room to the ventilating chimney ; this
chimney should t,e equal in capacity to that
of all these exhausting tubes combined.
This plan is adapted to warm as well as
cold weather. In cold weather, close the up
per appertuie of the exhausting tube; a cur
rent of air will then pass .constantly from the
lower part of the room through the lower ap
erture. In warm weather, and likewise in
cold weather when the ',emperature of the
room is too high, open the upper aperture,
and through it the air will rapidly ascend,
which will reduce the temperature.
Again : it facilitates the warming of a
room. The heated air ascends from the
stove or furnace to the ceiling, where, if the
upper aperture of the exhausting tube be clo
sed, it is confined, and pressing upon the
colder stratum of air in the lower part of the
room, it forces it through the lower apeiture.
This expulsion of the cold air tends to equal
ize the temperature throughout the room, and
removes to a great extent, the difficulty ex
perienced in keeping the feet warm.
The arrar.gements for the introduction :of
fresh air should be such as to introduce .an
adequate amount and prevent a current
from flowing upon the occupants of the room.
This maybe affected in two ways.
First, air may be introduced through an
admission tube, communicating with the ex
ternal air, and passing into the room near the
ceiling and on that side of the room which is
opposite to the exhausting tubes. This ad
mission tube should be furnished with well
adjusted registers, to ,regulate the ingress of
the air .and prevent a .current from tiow,itig,
upon any of the inmates of the room.
When artificial heat is required, air may
be most easily and economically introduced
in connection with a well constructed heat
ing apparatus. When furnaces are used,
a current of warm - air passes steadily into
the room, and this introduces all the air that
is necessary.
`Vhen stoves are used, beneath the stove
construct an air chamber, having free access
o the air of the room, and connect,-this air
chamber with the external air by means of
an admission tube passing beneath the floor.
, Let a series of tubes extend from the stove
to this chamber for the purpose of warming
the air within it ; the ratified air will ascend
into the room and the cold external air will
rush in to supply its place; and thus a cur
rent of pure air will constantly flow into the
room. These admission tubes should always
be connected with the pure external air, as
that in cellars and beneath houses usually
contains impurities which render it unfit for
respiration. In large towns and also in oth
er localities where the air near the ground is
liable to be infected with any noxious quali
ties, the air should be introduced through
tubes extending from the top of the buil
ding.
Furnaces and stoves are frequently too
small, and this is objectionable for two reas
ons : 1. A greater quantity of fuel is need
ed to heat a given amount of air when the
stoves are small ; and 2. the air is more viti
ated in passing over a small and intensely
I heated surface than it is when warmed by
!passing over a surface that is large and more
moderately heated.

Env. ED
. The New York Tribune and Philadelphia
Bulletin, two of our most reliable and enter
prising exchanges, are of opinion that the
present exhorbitant prices of flour and grain,
"cannot possibly fall," and must almost in
falliably rise, and urges our farming commu
nity to "sow all the grain they can." We
do not expect our agricultural friends to re
alize all at is anticipated by our cotempo
raries ; but shall be grealy disappointed if
produce does not command an unusually high
price for years to coma. Most heartily do
we therefore join in "saying sow all the grain
you can." It will prove beneficial a.;ike to
the farmer and the country.
The Bulletin very appropriately remarks,
that the wheat fields of the south of Russia
are shut out from the access of commercial
Europe.—Very probably they are less pro
ductive than usual owing to the heavy drafts
of peasantry into military service. Ergland
and France are largely occupied in destroy
ing men and property, and the waste of an
enormous commissariat swells the amoun-t
of their annual consumption, while the
drains'upon their financial resources will do
anything but encourage extension of agricul
tural enterprise. There is certainly no prob
ability of their becoming large exporters of
grain. The Baltic countries have been little
affected by the war but their supply cannot
probably be so greatly beyond its usual mark
as to fill op the heavy gap which the other
countries manifest.
Our own country promises no less to af
ford the farmer a better market than usual.
The rush of emigrants has peopled our cities
with a population almost resembling a sol
diery in time of peace, in the comparative
unproductiveness of their first period of so
journ here. Their surplus of labor at these
localities tempts capitalists, g:eat and small,
to engage more and more in'enterprises lo
cated in the city to the constant disparage
ment of the agricultural interest. The nu
merous rail-roads, always built with antici
pations of the better market they will afford
the farmers, not only fulfil those anticipa
tions, but in fact contribute more to swell the
extent of the market, by increasing the pros
perity and population of the market towns,
to a much greater degree than they make it
accessible; so thet the opening of one avenue
makes it necessary to open two more in or
der to swell the gap created by the first.—
What is scarcely less important is, that while
hitherto the march of inhabitation has been
through the bottoms of the Mississippi Val
ley, and constantly extending the supply of
breadstuffs, it will now occupy the sheep
walks of New Mexico, or the coal and iron
beds of Kansas and Nebraska, subtracting
from the army of agricultural laborers, and
in time a grain market to the westward to
compete, in some degree, with the eastern.
The Tribune says it is the duty and inter
est of every man who owns a piece of land
whereon he can sow a bushel of grain, not to
allow the spring to slip by without doing it.
We are at starvation prices in breadstuffs as
well as in meat. We shall have a famine if
we do not look out. The nations of Europe
are engaged in the amiable business of butch
ering one another, and if the half dozen gen
tlemen at Vienna and their backers do not
come to terms, this state of things will con
tinue, and perhaps for half a dozen seasons.
Under such circumstances, the drain upon
us for foreign consumption is likely to be
greater than it has ever been before. Our
present reserves of breadstuffs must be very
light, as the high prices of corn plainly de
note. Our corn crop last year Was wonder
fully small, as was well established at har
vest time without aid from the prices cur
rent. Entering upon the year with exhaus
ted granaries at home, with a poor crop
following, and an immense European
demand, grave apprehension may -well be
excited as to our circumstances a year
hence. We have had a hard winter and
enormously high prices throughout. But
what is all we have seen to what. we shall
see, if we should chance to have a bad sum
mer, and the war goes on in Europe. We
may then see sufTesing and starvation in ear
nest.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
The New York Courrier, after inquiries
respecting the present supply and quantity to
come forward of agricultural products, haz
ards the cpinion that prices have reached
their highest, and the next movement will be
a retrogade one, although present prices may
be maintained two or three weeks. The
Courier bases its opinion on the fact that
there are one million five hundred thousand
barrels of flour to come forward before harvest
from thee Western States and the Canacias,
which ate awaiting the opening of the ca
n.als an that State. Fifty thousand bushels
of potatoes are on their way to the New
York market from Nova,Scotia, under the re
ciprocity law. The crop of potatoes in Nova
Scotia last year was very large. Free trade
has, within .a few weeks, opened this mar,
ket to consumers, and the chances are that a
liberal supply will come forward, under
the present high prices. We hope, for the
benefit of consumers, that these predictions
.may be realized. The .highest prices of

The Vienna Conference had adjourned over

A despatch from Berlin dated Friday, the
6th, states that the Russian party is predomi

throw herself into the arms of the Czar, in
case of an unfavorable result of the Confer

There has been a succession of sanguinary
conflicts between -the French and Russians
before Sebastopol, for the possession of the
Rifle ambuscade pits, with varying success,
but much loss.
The latest reported battle occurred on the
night of the 23d, and in which 3000 men
were killed and wounded; but no details have
been received.
The Rnssians as well as the Allies, are
both strengthening their positions preparato
ry to the opening of the Spring campaign.
At a council of war, held by the the offi
cers of the allied armies on the 12th of March,
Omar Pasha desired assistance from the allies,
which could not be granted, and the Turks
are consequently only expected to hold their
position at Eupatoria.
Siege of Sebastopol.
Continued fighting for possession of the Rifle
Pits—Great Sacrifice of Life.
Since the date of previous advices there
has been a series of fierce sorties and assaults
between the Russians and French,. for the
possession of the rifle ambuscade in front of
the French position and under the Malakoff
tower. These rifle pits, which have led to
so considerable a sacrifice of life, are placed
in front and to the right and left of the tower,
and about six hundred yards from the Allied
works. They are merely excavations in the
ground, faced round with sand bags and
banked with earth, loop holed for rifles.
They are six in number, and each contains
ten men-60 in all. Gen. Bouquet considers
it a point of honor to take and hold, or des
troy these ambuscades. Ile has several times
by night assaults, driven out the Russians,
but as these pits are covered by the fire of
the city batteries, the French have hitherto
found it impossible either to lestroy . or hold
them. The importance of this position to
both besieger and besieged is very great.
The Malakoff round tower is regardedas the
key of the defences, and hence the energy of
theßussians in strengthening it. Considera
bly in advance of the tower is the elevated
mound, or hill now called the "Mamelon,"
on which the besiged are erecting a battery
of great strength. A little further in advance
is the eminence recently seized so skilfully
by the Russians, and fortified with earth
works; it is now crowned by a square re
doubt, with sixteen guns visible on its three
outward sides, but they have not yet opened
fire.
Outside of these defences are the rifle pits.
The Russian batteries at Inkerman, their forts
on the other sides of the Tchernavo and the
works of Malakoff cover this redoubt, and
converge on the approaches in front of it.—
This explanation will convey an idea of the
strength of the position which the French
nightly contest. Dates of the encounters are
as follows :
During the night of March 14th, there was
a fierce affair. The Russians had advanced
some riflemen in front of the French lines,
who caused considerble annoyance. When
night fell, a tlemi-brigade of French went
down and drove them out. All the city bat
teries along the front immediately opened
and continued a furious cannonade for half
an hour, during which a • stronger force of the
enemy advanced on the French and compel
led them to retire, with a loss of 65 men;
the Russians loss being probably more se
vere. The Russians re-occupied the pits.
On the night of the 15th, the French re
newed the attack and succeeded, with com
paratively little loss, in driving out the ene
my's riflemen, anti occupying the pits with
their own. The French continued to hold
those on the right, under a heavy fire, over
the 16th and 17th March.
Night of the 17th, yet another encounter
took place. At half past six o'clock in the
evening, the French, who had retired before
the fire from the batteries, marched down to
re-occupy the ambuscade, but found the
Russians had anticipated them. A-• fierce
conflict immediately commenced, but it was
evident the Russians were in strong force,
and the French were again and again borne
back by the weight of the fire.
For four hours and a half they persevered
in their attempts, and all that time a confirm,
ous roll of musketry rang out, broken only
by brief pauses in the advance. In these
lulls the British cauld distinctly hear the
voices of the French officers cheering on
their men—and the tramp of feet and the
rush of men, followed; then a roll of musket
ry was heard, diminishing in volume to rap
id file fighting. Then a Russian cheer—then
more musketry—a few dropping shots, and
the voices of the officers once more.
The Zonaves bore the brunt of the fight,
and the action was somewhat peculiar ns ar
tillery took no part in it. The British 2d,
3d. 4th, and light divisions were told off
for action ) And the entire British camp re
mained under arms until the French desisted
from their attack; but as the gallant French
snake it a point of honor to take those pits
without aid, no assistance was offered.- The
French were 5000 strong, and they state their
floss at 1 , 50 killed and wounded, besides a few
prisoners

At four P. M. of the 18th, Gen.:Conrobert„
with a small escort, passed down the Wor

carefully examined "the pits!' At nightfall,
a strong force of French, with six field-pieces,
was moved down on the left of their extreme
right, and another unsuccessful attempt was
made t 3 take the pits from the Russians.
After sortie boors heavy firing of artillery
and small arms, both parties withdrew.—
Three unsuccessful attacks were made by the
French ere morning. Their loss was about
180. The British batteries, on the 18th,
continued to throw shot and shell into the
mamelon or new redoubt.
The Russians succeeded it holding the pits,
and are engaged in constructing a, formida
ble work on the mamelon, although frequent
ly interrupted by the French and English
batteries. The French persevere in working
forward. --Reinforcements were reported to

Know-Nothingism in the West.
The democrats of Madison, Indiana, nom
inated a full democratic ticket at the late
election in that city, and overthrew the se
cret foe by an unusually large majority.
In Ohio the results of the late contests are
even more significant. Cincinnati nobly led
the way, and the response is cheering from
other parts of the State. Behold, how bright
ly breaks the morning t.
The veteran Medary says, in his Ohio
Statesman :
"TnE RECENT ELECTIONS IN OHIO.-Our
democratic friends who were badly bea
ten last fall are surprised themselves at the
results of the various town and city elections
that have just transpired. It was difficult to
persuade many that an effort would be of
any avail. But how different has been the
result. Scarcely at any former period have
the spring elections in Ohio resulted so fa
vorably, where an effort was made, as on
last .Monday, even in the strongholds of the
late whig party. The know-nothings, a
party intended to supplant the whig party,
and led by old disappointed office-hunters of
that party, have stolen from us a good many
democrats that ought to leave them at once ;
but they have lost a great many whigs of too
much character to join such an order ; and, on
the whole, they are much weaker than the
old whig party they intended to supplant.
"This very evidence of weakness, exhib
ited at the recent elections, has thrown a
gloom over these midnight assemblies that
will only tend to a rapid decline.
"Their strength last fall was owing to
their being almost wholly unknown to the
people among whom they daily associated,
and hence their power of evil was immense.
Now they are known, and you can point
them out as they walk the street. Their
ability to impose on their neighbors is gone.
Their word is no longer of any avail in polit
ics. Their very oaths of submission to the
order are upon the public records, and their
locks are thereby shorn; while many who
first entered their' dens are sick of the expe
riment, and are daily leaving them. Even
the second-page editors of the Ohio State
Journal are lustily denying any connexion
with the oath-bound party. The future will
make still greater developmen:s.'
The result of the election in the townships
heard from indicates very strongly that the
skies are brightening, and the democratic
party are recovering from its defeat last fall.
Had our friends in the several townships
made half the effort the know-nothings did,
there would not now be three townships
against us. The opposition made desperate
efforts everywhere in the hope of strengthen-
ing their forces next fall, while many of the
democrats, deeming the election unimpor
tant or defeat inevitable, stay at home. In
several townships no democratic nomina.
tions were made, which was the case in Mil
ton, Baughman, and Wooster.
