How Coal SHOULD BE CONSUMED. Notwith-
standing the general of anthracite coal in fani-
lies, few persons know exactly how it proper
ly. The business is usually entrusted servants,
and as their experience has taught them-the more
wood the ire-they throw the coal on the
same principle, expecting the same results. Thi s
practice however, destroys the draught necessary
consume the coal, and the consequence is that the
sulphurous gases, instead of being consumed, are
dispersed through the rooms of the house, to the in
jury of health, and frequently the spelling of the food
in the process of cooking. No stove should ever
contain, fair average, greater layer than four
inches of coa;-less in majority of cases will an
swer. A beautiful red heat is then generated, the
coal parts with all its inammable elements and de-
posts its earthly matter in fine PARTICLES in the recev-
er. Try the experiment and see the results. An
thracite would be the only fuel used for domestic
purposes in every family, if the proper mode of ma
king coal fire was more generally understood

A QUESTION ANSWERED. Maj. Noah. learned
lsraeite, is thus Intercepted The second COM
ing of Christ is believed by "a large portion of Chris
tans. Would the Jews believe in his spiritual and
temporal Messiashp:if he should again appear on
earth :"
He would, think, be less welcome to the
Christians than to the Jews He could not, think,
recognize the reformed religion carried out his
He who preached against pride, ostentation and
gance-who was the friend of the poor and rebuked
the rich and wordly-minded-who preached peace
on earth and good will to men who ordained ODE
dience to the laws and submission to rulers-wouId
not brook the dissertation to the pulpit, occupied by
some men who endeavor to stir up rebellion and divi-
sion among the peope-who falsely quote the Scrip
lures to carry out their fanaticism slavery-who
openly defy the laws, and wickedly recommend op-
position TO them-who sowing division and mise
ry throughout the land. He would say s. ! had
trouble with the Scribes and Pharisees, who my
own people-they did not recognize my mission; but
here are my followers they represent themselves
to be-who ought IN my name to carry out my prin-
cPles. but who do not-who consider that there are
many of my orders, directions and doctrines which
they cannot carry out, aedging that they do con-
form to the spirit of the age" He would find his
own people as he left them two thousand years ago
with one faith and one God. but the church which
he established he would find divided into numerous
sects, one arrayed against the other, preaching all
kinds OF DOCTRINES and understanding better what he
meant TO establish than he did himself. The question
is not, 6" How would the Jews receive him !? - but
- How would he he received by those protesting to
be Christians This is not the age for such vis-
taton!''

have alluded to, Mr.. Speaker, and exhibited the
form it would leave the County of Nash and have
il from the best authority, that person residing IN
the Southern part of the County of Nash, In travel
inc TO Nashville would have to pass through hve OF
six miles in Wilson County. The line of Wilson
County would run within nine miles of Nashville,
taking persons in Wilson, when in fact they would
be nearer to Nashville than to the town of Wilson.
Another reason why you should not pass this bill :
It would render the offices in my County almost
worthless Our Superior Court Clerks office Is now
not worth more than sixty or seventy dollars. Our
former Clerk has held the Office o-be-sure, for five or
six years. when the salary would not pay his board ;
and suppose he only held ii to fill blank in his time
And Notwithstanding the small fees. he discharged
his duty we'll and understand that the transcripts
sent to the Supreme Court sent in better style
than any other Clerks in the State. He has resign
ed and we, as ii were, have another Godsend In his
successor. The fees arising from the Office, sup
pose, is the least inducements he had to accept the
office.

terrain the amendment of the Senator from Wayne.
In conclusion, Mr.. Speaker, will say that have
endeavored to present this matter in fair light be-
fore the Senate. If had said less Sir, feel that
should not have discharged my duty. Hoping the
Senate will see it in its true light, shall content
myself with its fate. ...e.

Mr.. EDITOR
attended the nesting held at the Methodist
Church on Friday evening last, for the purpose
OF discussing the merits Of the Liquor Law, late
ly passed by the Legislature OF the State Of
Maine, and was generally much pleased with the
discussion. One of the speakers, however, who
ltappearS TO me has more zeal than knowledge.
commenced an attack upon the City Council
which | thought was wholly uncallei for. He
undertools TO make it appear that their actionin
regard to licences, had been detrimental TO the
cause OF Temperance, and TO the interest of the
City, and made the announcement that he could
not vote for such men for Aldermen. don't
KNOW how this proclamation of the gentleman
viii affect the other members of the Council, but
can only say for one, that it is not worthy Of 1
moments thought. Now Mr. Editor, feel JUS
titled in saying that the Common Council tool;
the best course that could be taken under exist.
ing circumstances.
The experience of the last two years, had led
US to believe that all efforts to suppress the traf
flc, would probably be unayailing. The nes;ion
then arose, shall we take thousand dollars from
the Pocketsof the liquor dealers, 70 be expended
for the support oftho paupers, which they in fact
make by their traffic, or shall we refuse to license
any and thereby, virtually license all to sell free
ofcharge. The latter plan may seem best adap
ted in the opinion of the gentleman, to promote
the cause of temperance, but must beg leave
to differ with hm. believe that less liquor is
now sold, ana thatit is kept in fewer places than
ithas been for the two proceeding years, when
the authorities were endeavoring to carry out the
plan Of no license and We have got besides eigh
hundred dollars for the poor. Now Mr.. Editor
let me suggest a plan 10 the gentleman by which
| think he would bo doing more good than by
letting off gas at Temperance meetings.
That is, By giving the names of all such per.
sons as are violating the law, to the Common
Council, that they may be dealt with accord
ingly.
In conclusion, would say that l am in favo
of law similar to the one they have in Maine
and hope to see it adopted by the next Lagisla
ture; but under the existing law, | think an at
tempt to prohibit entirely the sale Of in.oxicatin.

into the hands of Elizur Wright, the originator
Of the spicy "Chronotype." 1t does orr soul

troll is the abest Journal of the kind in the coun-

There is no paper which efords US more pleas
ure in perusing. The Commonwealth under
his supervision echoes no opinions but those Of
the editor himself, and these are promulgated
with no moaIy mouthed wishy washy lis nor
butts; he knows what he is talking about and
he means that you shall know that he is not Jo-
king. There are number of his readers in this
community. We wish to suggest to those who
would like to become members Of club in Ia
king the ChronotyPe if they will hand their
names to US we will send for them and get the

The Christiana treason Trial Euded--
EzanaIgay acquitted.

This solemn farce hich has been carried en-
under the approval Of the administration, las at
last enled. Ended in lie acquittal of the pris-
oners-ended in the datea. Of the government
ended in the deiea; Of HE fugitive slave law, and
ended in the triumph Of the human over the dia-
oolicai principle among men.
Cashier Runaway, one of the few whites who
was looking on, when the blacks so MOLLY and
Teligiously defended their liberty against the
kidnappeFs, was set up for the mark of the yelP-
ing aud internal pack who were bowling TREA-
soN TREASON. a; his heels.
Hanaway was tried on the new definition Of
treason set up BIZ Webster, Curtis, Lunt & Co.,
Of Shadrach hunting memory. 1t was new
definition, and it would not stand the authorities
Noah Webster and Daniel did not agree, and
Daniel gets beat, s. much for the new deini-
ton. 1t was supposed that the Constitution had
long ago dsf'!ei what treason was, and this YER
dict has Pr0red that the sngyoyi.iyn was correct.
The administration have got out Of this affair
pretty well. How would they have got on, if
those persons had been convicted? That is
more difficult to tell. Aad although this trial
may not have been decided to please the gaters-
up OF the fugitive slave law, yet this decision
will help them out Of a great deal Of trouble
which would have been engendered if they had
been convicted. For who supposcs that these
men would have ever been suffered to have been
hung BY the neck for refusing to assist in kid
