We wish io keep it before the public mind, ashes is not deposited in iis wooden reservoir, until it becomes quite cold. If, indeed, that should be the case-, it might perhaps be oafe, but the great risk is that it contains some igni ted charcoal. The worst of it is, however, it is customary to empty vessels of hot ashes into barrels and boxes, &c, with the supposed suf ficient precaution, of scooping a hollow for it in the middle of the mass. Now this is all wrong. It has been ascertained by observation and ex periment, that a small quantity of hot wood ashes, in the above circumstances, will heat the whole mass, and at length set on fire the con taining box or barrel. This is a properly of ashes, not.generaliy known but which should be known universally Monvoe Comity Court. Court convened on Tuesday of last week, all the Judges being present. Much difficulty and delay was caused by the absence of va rious witnesses and Jurors who had been sub poenaed. The Court found it necessary to j issue attachments for about thirty witnesses, all of which, through the activity of Sheriff' j Storm, were executed. Some of the witness-; es were sentenced to pay the cost of the at-; tachment, together with a fine. The Court 1 has been under the necessity of laying down ! very strict rules, with regard to Jurors and witnesses who do not obey the first summons inasmuch as ureat delay and expense has been incurred bv their absence, heretofore. We would thereforeadvise persons subpamaed as Witnesses or Jurors, in future, to allow no slight cause to detain them at home, or they X A Bachelor iV Norfolk, Va., proposes him self as a prize in a lottery, to be called The Old Dominion Marriage Lottery " The price j of tickets is to vary according to the age of (ho purchaser. widows and old maids bciti? 1 "O charged considerably more than young ladies.

It is easy to conceive a combination of circumstances, which would sweep off two-lhirds of our town in one hour. Since then, we are so unable lo contend against actual fire, let us attend to its prevention, if possible. Nearly all fires originate from care lessness, in a greater or less degree. We would suggest First, Look well that vour ptove-nmes are in proper order, it is generally dangerous to pass them through win down and roofs. Second, Have a care how you expose your matches. These articles, though they must be considered dangerous, yet, on account of their convenience, have come to be regarded as almost necessary, if not quite. Tbey should always be kept in a tin safe for two reasons they cannot then be ignited by the nibbling of mice and should they take fire by other means, they would not communicate. But third. The great precaution is never cast vour ashes into any receptacle of which wood forms a part. No doubt nineteen-twentieths of all our fires result from non-observance of this biniple rule.
