EXPLOSIVE KEROSENE.

Several recent explosions Of kerosene, or
coal oil, caused considerable alarm in the COM
munty. This oil has come into very extensive
use in families, and is generally popular as af-
fordihg cheap and excellent light. 1t has
been considered perfectly safe heretofore, and
the consumers will regret to be compelled to
change this conviction and give up its USE
1t has been asserted that the explosions were
caused by the adulteration of the article by
or oil of turpentine, but there is no proof OF
this, and it is hardly creditabe that manufac-
turers and dealers would be capable of AN
adulteration so dangerous and at the same time
so certain to drive the article out of use and
ruin their own business. The true solution,
we have no doubt, is that suggested by DIR
Jackson, the state essayer, that the kerosene
which explodes is carelessly manufactured, the
naptha, which is highly volatile and explosive,
and which is found in all coal oils in their nat
ural state, not being thoroughly removed. DR.
Jackson has examined several samples of kero-
sene which contained quantities of naptha, and
has pronounced them unsafe ON that account.
He says that the impure kerosene may gener-
ally be detected by the smell, the volatile oil
having strong odor while there is little or
none in that which has been properly manuiac-
tured and may be used safely. An inialible
test is to place a vial partly filled with the oil
in some warm water and apply match TO the
mouth of the vial. If the volatile oil is there
it will lake fire. There is really need Of eau
ton and care in ascertainng che purity of kerr
osene. as the terrible instances of explosions
that have lately occurred show clearly enough.
And it is to be recollected that the lamps in
which it is used arc not constructed with any
reference to the danger of explosion, as cam
! phene lamps are, but are left open that if the
volatile naptha is present in the oil the expo
sure to disaster is very great. No dealer in
the article should sell single quart until he
has satisfied himself by proper tests that it is
pure, which may be easily done. To neglect
one Of the most terrible perils.

The New Hampshire Patriot makes a great
bugaboo because the republicans are rather live
ly after office. None of the latter have vet sup
posed custom house to be hotel. The Bos-
ton Transcript tells the following anecdote =
Under Pierces administration New Hampshire
was pretty well represented in the Boston Gus
tom House, and among those provided for was
one stirring patriot of the democratic faith,
from Coos County, to whom the New Hamp-
shire Collector gave an aidship, or temporary
inspectorship. When the commission reached
him, the overjoyed recipient Immediately pack
ed his personal estate in two trunks. and, dream
ing of fortune, took stage and railway for Bos-
ton. Arriving here at the railway station, he
chartered coach, proceeded with his trunk to
the Custom House, and called impatien,ly for
the porter to take charge of his baggage. He
was astonished at being told that the Custom
House, although it furnished pay did not pro-
vide board and lodgings for those engaged
there in official duties.

the border states. But the do-nothng policy
has been pursued about long enough, and prom
inent southern Union men here express the
opinion that the government should defend
Fort Pickeas at all hazards. A prominent cti-
zen of Tennessee here declares that an attack
upon Fort Pickens by the Montgomery govern
ment and vigorous and successful defense by
the United States, would have happy effect in
Tennessee. He. therefore, counsels the re-
enforcement of Pickens at the risk of col
lision. 1t is about time for the genuine friends

IMPoRTANT TO LETTERS.

The following Joint Resolution was adopted
at the last session of the Legislature;
Resolved by the Senate end House Of Rep
res9ntdtires, That the Listers of the several
towns in this state, be, and they are hereby in
structed to return to the clerk of the house of
representatives, on or before the third Thurs
day of October A. ID. 1861, an abstract of the
amount of personal properly discounted for
debts, as provided in sections forty-six of an
act approved November 18th, 1855.
1t is well known that in this State the amount
of debts that any person owes may he deducted
from his personal estate, if he has any, before
such estate is set in the grand list; but no de-
duction can be made from the valuation of real
estate as an offset to any debts due. Attempts
more or less vigorous have been made every
year for several years to repeal this provision
of our statutes so that personal like real es-
tate shall be taxed to the person in whom its
title rests The advocates of this repeal claim,
with much force of reasoning, that there is no
good reason for making this distinction between
personal and real estate, and that the practice
of deducting the amount of debts claimed to
be owing leads to great frauds in making up
the list, and consequently to very unequal tax
alton.
The subject was earnestly pressed at the last
session of the legislature, but it was deemed
advisable to know more accurately the results
of the present system. Hence the adoption of
the above resolution, the object Of which is to
determine as accurately as may be the amount
of personal property properly subject to tax
alton, and the amount now discounted from the
list for debts, so that the advantages and dis
advantages of the present system may be the
more readily discovered.
prompt response to this resolution On the
part of the listers will be of much value in de-
termining what legislation, if any is needed
The blanks for listers returns were prepared
before the adoption of the resolution, but room
thereon can be found for the statement re-

EXTENSIVE MAIL RoBBERY.-In the month
of October last, the mail which was made up
at Falmouth for Boston, was robbed. Among
the plumber were packages containing $500 in
bills and $4,000 in drafts and notes, which
were being sent to the Suffolk Bank The mat
ter created great excitement among those in
terested, by whom it was kept a profound Sc
cret, and Mr. Holbrook the secret mail agent,
at orce set to work to unravel the affair." and
we understand that the matter is quite likely to
be cleared up. Among the bills taken was one
of $500 on the Canal Bank, Portland, which
recently came to light. which fact, together with
others in possession Of the agents of the gov
eminent, have led them to suppose that the
mail was robbed before leaving Monument de-

Is IT TRuEP-lhe Albany Erening Journal,
which, by the way is no mean authority in po-
ltical matters, seems inclined to back up Jeiler
sons idea of office holders when he claimed
that "few die and none resign" The journal
in concluding an article in relation to distribu-
ton OF patronage in certain Congressional
district in that State says:
"Nothing in life seems so hard as for u
Member OF Congress to retire gracefully. When
man becomes Representative in Congress,
even by chance, he claims recollection as a
matter Of justice That yielded, he begins to
feel that he has vested right, and a refusal
to give him a third term is regarded as an
act of persecution and ingratitude. If third
term is accorded, and fourth refused, the Ex-
Member is 'sore-headed' for the remainder of
his life"
We think the journal has hit the nail very
squarey on the head,
