Facts for Builders.

One fact is, that n square form Sc
cures more room with given cost ioi
outside walls than any other rectangular
figure. Great length and little width
NAV afford convenient rooms, but at an
increased expense.
Another fact is, that ventilation is an
essential in human dwelling. No 9TH
or consideration should exclude this
The halls, windows and doors, should
be so situated with regard 10 each 9TH
or, that full draugh, Of air can be Sc
cured, at any time, in the summer sea-
son, by day and by night, through the
whole house. The stories should also
be sufficiently high 10 afford suflicien-
cy of air in all the rooms. Nine feet is
a good height for lower rooms, and eight
for upper. BID rooms should also be
larger than they commonly are. Great
injury to health is the result of sleeping
in small, close apartments.
The third fact is, that steep roo
will not only shed rain and snow far bet
ter than fiat ore, but will last i'm
mensely longer, at the same time that il
secures increased room for the chambers
or garrett.
The fourth fact is, that chimney ir
or near the centre Of the building viii
hid 10 warm the whole house, while, i
built at one end or side, the heat vii
be thrown out and lost.
The fifth fac, is that door opening
from the outside into any principal
room, without the Intervention Of a hal
or passage, costs much more than II
saves, in the free egress of air into it.
The sixth fact is, that the use of Laint
is the best economy in the preservation
it affords to all wood work. --Prairi,
Farmer.

Governing Principles of Religion

Those who cry down moral honesty,
cry down that which is a great part OF
religion-my duty towards God, and my
duty towards man. What care to see
a man run after sermon, if he coZen
and cheat as soon rs he comes home
On the other side, morality must not be
without religion; for, if so, it may
change as | sec convenience. Religion
must govern us. He that has not reli-
gion TO govern his morality, is no better
than my mastil' dog; SO long as you
smooth and please him, and do moi
pinch hun, he will play with you as fine
ly as may be. He is very good NOR
al mastiff; but if you hurt him, he will
fly in your face and tear your throat.

TOADS.

A contemporary publishes n method
by which farmer may destroy toads
why not recommend plan Of raising
grubs and multiplying caterpillars. A
farmer in his senses might as reasonably
adopt one as the other. Toa Is are sec
ond only TO birds in their power TO de-
stroy insects, and don't, like birds,
sometimes lrespass on grain and fruit.
Go in April to the pools by The road
side and you shall find long strings of
little black eyes enveloped IN jelly. A
few days after you may find the same
pool full of ,adpoles. Useful then are
they in eating matters which would pu-
trlly and faint the air. In the summer
when your tadpolcs have grown to n
goodiy size, you shall fad them ceasing

absorption nourish the tadpole while his
mouth and breathing apparatus UNDER

grown upon him and he presently emer-
ges from the water. Breathing now no
longer by gils, but by lungs, lie ea,s no
longer the REUSE matter of The water.

insects that would else destroy our hnr-

against whom we have always had less
theological hatred than enmity on nc-
count of his eating frogs and toads.-

For THE AMERICAN.

Mr.. EDITOR AS the time is approaching
for the selection of good persons to fill the
various offices at the coming election, for the
county of Northumberland. Myself and
neighbors have come to the conclusion to of.
fer the name of HENRY J. READER, as an
individual they think most worthy to discharge
the important duties belonging to the office
of Sheriff. We therefore recommend to the
consideration of the Democratic Electors of
Northumberland County, HENRY J. READER
of Delaware township, for that office. lie
understands the GERMAN well, and is staunch
Democrat, and is well qualified for the office.
And in accordance with the usages of the
democratic party the other side of the river
is entitled TO the Sheriff. 1t has heretofore
been customary that this office particular be
given to the different sides of the river, al
ternately, We do hope that this rule will
in future be adhered to. We in this section
of the County, understanding the business of
the claims of the other side of the river, are
fully determined to 90 in heart and hand for
the nomination of HENRY ]. READER, as
an act of justice TO the Forks. Henry J. Rea-
der is well known as an honest and intelli-
gent German and is just such man as we
uoght to have in the office of Sheriff.

~ The following is from the l<sger's Washington
respondent on the passage OF the Oregon bin:
After the House had refused TO adopt the
Senate amendments, the question in the Sen.
ate was whether that body should recede,
and it being ascertained that Mr.. Benton and
Gen. Houston were for receding from the
Missouri Compromise, in regard to that bill,
when the territorial bills for California and
New Mexico will come up for discussion, the
Senators from the South resolved to speak out
the session, in order to prevent vote from
being taken on the subject. The ascertained
majority for receding from the Senate amend.
ment was four, and was well known the
whole day Of yesterday but the question was
whether the South would allow the Senate to
come to vote. The majority then resolved
no, to adjourn till Monday, - O'Clock, to sec
whether they could not sit out the Southern
members. In this they happily succeeded,
for after session Of little better than TWEEN.
ty-four hours-from 10 O'Clock, A. Nj. on
Saturday ill little after that hour on Snn.
day morning, the South gave in and the bill
was passed by vote of 90 TO 25.
MIR. Butler of South Carolina in,imating
that MIR. Benton was a quarrelsome man, the
latter rose and said that he was not accustom.
ed to quarrel-that he sometimes fought
and when he fought he fought for funeral.
Mr.. Benton had in the morning quiet set
to with MIR. Calhoun, and was, no doubt bad.
gered by the South Carolina Senators, for his
stand in behalf of the "free soil' of Oregon
Mr.. Butler now took occasion of statement
in regard to General Keamey, made by Col
Benton, and by him handed TO Mr.. Wallace
of the New York Herald for publication, to
move for an executive session to examine in.
TO this ''dishonorable" breach of confidence
committed by the Senator from Missouri
Thereupon Mr.. Benton rose and said, thai
any Senator applying such terms to him would
get ''the lie" the ''lie direct y that any Sen
ator making such assertions 'lied in hi,
throat, and wanted TO cram the lie down peo
ple's guts,'' or something to that effect Mr.
Butler said he would attend to the matter il
proper time and in proper place, and though
the thing, apparently passed over it was no
adjusted by 7 O'Clock this evening, Gen
Fooie being then about to confer with Mr.
Mangum as TO what was to be done in the
premises.

For THE AMERICAN.

Mr. EDITOR II see that but little is said
in regard to our next member of Assembly.
This is, presume, owing to the fact that the
nomination will be conceded TO Mr. FRlCK,
our late member, by general consent, and
that there will be no opposition. Mr.. Frick
has served his constituents faithfully and i'm
partially, and according to the old rule is en-
titled to another term. He was successful
