From the Cambria Tribune.
DEED.

In Johnstown, on Sunday, the 18th inst,
ANNA MARIA, daughter ofDayid 7. and Mary J.
Storm aged i9 years months and q days.
The subject of this notice was as edifying in
her death as she had been exemplary in her life.
Many who witnessed her last moments, and
cOmprehended the varied and tender ties that
bound her to life, were struck with admiration
at the cheeriulness, we had almost said anxiety,
with which she desired TO bid adieu to the world.
The victim of Consumption, for some time before
her dissolution she felt that sooner or later ma
ture must yield to the increasing inroads of the
lingering disease; and resgnng herself into the
hands ofGod, she determined, by closer atten-
ton to the affairs of her SOUL to prepare herself
for the crisis, which she knew could not be far
distant How careful that preparation had been,
was svident to those who stood by her to the
calmly awaited the call which should summon
her before the Sovereign Judge, earnestly urging
as her last dying request, that those around
should practice those duties which Religion en-
joins as necessary to eternal life. A spectacle SO
edifying in one at age when the fascinations
of society, and the allurements of the world pos
sess the greatest charm, is indeed great triumph
of Gods grace, but one which it never fails TO
achieve when the heart is not wilfully closed,to
its influence. Side by side with her sister she
reposes in the Catholic cemetery awaiting, rs we
hope, a glorious Resurrection. Eternal rest,
give to her, oh, Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon her. gct

How to Burn Coal.

Graham's Magazine has an article on
coal buying and coal burning from which
we select the following:
The great mistake of all is TO put on
too much coal, as if il were wood-thc
greater the quantity the greater heat. II
100 much coal is supplied, the combustion
is necessarily imperfect, because the fire
is checked up the draught destroyed,
and the elements Of the coal, slowly esca-
ping from it, pass off to the chimney UNI
consumed, or are disseminated in gases
throughout the room. Whereas, if the
strata of coal be but moderate, red flame
will play around the interior of the stove,
by which entire combustion and healthy
heat are secured. One ton of coal, there
fore, by thorough combustion, will often
secure more heat and healthier almos'
phere, than two tons consumed in the or
binary way and this is fact which can
easily be demonstrated.
1t will be very important, this winter
especially, TO have attention paid to this
rule.
