thereby have been averted.
The Vice Presidency
The - ilarrishimg Teleipyph speaks in ,
the following compliMentary terms of
Governor Geary, as at.'eandidate for the
Vice Presidency: „t
All the Rept.blican members of the Leg•
islature, so o far as we have been able to ascer
tain, aro at their post' to-day, and we are
gratified to learn that many of them, togeth- .
or xvith a large number of our cotempora
-ries,- Wee ground 'in favo,l_ of Governor
Geary for the Vice Presid cY. Some are
for him because'rifids distingt ished.military
record an.l services, and others- because of
the capacity, integrity and thlelity_exhiliited_
in the discharge of leis duties as Governor.
Another reason, worthy of consideration; is
his unquestioned popularity with the people,
as shown by the official returns of his,elee
-tion. It will be- remembered that in 1866
we had a fair and square issue pending be
tween_CongressLand he President, raised on
the proposed amendment to the Constitution
of the United StateS as submitted - by the
Thirty-ninth Congr ss: The strug,gil, for
Congress wars m, is over, more fiercely
contested, nor had w abler men as eandi-
I 'dates. Yet the °Mei I returns show 'that
the majority. for' Governor Geary exceeded
1 the aggregate- Congressional 'innjoilties //re •
i i liousand seven hundred aggregate
-hiite votes!
Wilms appears that \the Governor ran
nearly' six- thousand votes ahead of theiick
t
et, or•-N1 average of almost ono hundred
votes alicad in every county in the' State.—.
We affirm' that no man in the Common
wealth over exhibited such strength as this ;
and
.in,.,,:yiew of the
. results`of last fall,-we
present this as 'n additional reason why
Governor Geary should be one of our stand

- - Everffarnier, who lutts'not it'4rild of

that it' MIS looked upon 'as expensive luxury;
- but - our ideas - have - progressed in this as - they
have -in all things else,-and-now-it-is- view--1
ad in the light of a necessity, so much does
it conduce to the health comfort and econo ,
my of a ferny. And it is cheap comfort too.
The first, and really, the only expense is the
house; and it - nnif - be constrdeted of the
cheapest material, and almost without, even,
the.iiid of a mechanic; for, truly, the only
sc re -,in keeping _ice-all-summer is.thitt-it

round or in a bank partlyabove and
par y bolo* the surface, nothing is - easier
than to secure free drainage and ventilation.
Let me suggest the plan of a cheap ice-house,
which any handy farmer niay build himself.
The. house may be made of logs and should
be about fifteen by twenty feet in size, with
a partilidPin it from bottom to top sivid
ing off live feet at ono end for a mill: house.
'Let the floor of this be sunk ono foot deeper
than the laittom of tae ice-hetiso and have a
t'retf,gli the whole length of it to receive the
drainage from the ice, this gibes you a place
for milk coolentlian any spring affords, ha.
care- should be taken, that the lead pipe
througEwhich the `eater can - KS - 10th° trough
should be so bent as to preventemy air from
getting in below the ice ; no air itittst be ad
mitted to the bottdm of, the ico;--vkilst . the
top way_b_eand must he„fore, ontirely open to v.en:
r illaTion. The roof, therefore, ftrr-iplifbir - ef,
what it may be composed she ld be as ex
tensively open, us possible, s that the rain
shall be entirely excluded. Tho ally advan
tage qf building such n, house in a bank Is,
( cr_
that it makes it more elin - v - tffirfint to - fill - ,
otherwise, we- think a house entirely above
ground will' keep ice best, because it avoids
thodurnpness of the earth for dninpnessrather
than hear, is the great orieniy of
,ice. Free
ventilation that keep'S 'it dry ii:botio and
drainage that keeps it dr`y below will sec* -,
ice perfectly, soqiutt you-may enjoy -its mi.--
during tin? what, summer. So cold is the
adjoining live feet room, that it will hap
meat in August as safely '-as it will keep
itself in January. ' The expen..e, of 'pelting
