NENTILATING CELLARs.-An unventilated
cellar is a reservoir for the seeds of pestilence
and death. Diptheria and typhoid fever are
not unfrequently the result of miasmas accu-
muated in close underground apartments
where vegetable and animal substances are
allowed to decay and decompose. Organic
matters of any kind should never be kept in
any room or place unless trees and ample cir
oplation of air Is secured. The Working
Farmer gives the following plan for ventiat-
ing cellars, which we commend to the consid-
Grafton of our readers -
stove on the first floor NAV have branch
from its smoke pipe passing down through the
floor so as to receive the top air of the cellar.
This pipe should be slightly enlarged at its
lower end, and it should be supplied with
valve; when the fire is being lighted this valve
may be shut and afterward opened, so as to
leave sufficient draft for the stove. Thou
sands of cubic feet of damp air and foul gases
will pass through the chimney from the cellar
daily, and thus render it clean and dry at all
times. Every philosophical mind will see the
truth of this and at the same time must adj
NIT that where such an arrangement does not
exist, to a degree, at least, these foul gases
must leak through the cracks in the floor. to
the injury of the health of the inmates, before
it passes through the fire into the chimney.
Every chimney should be connected in some
way with the cellar, to be used as ventilator
when required.

OBITUARY.-GEN. SAM. HousroN.-There
can be no longer any doubt Of the death of
Gen. Sam Houston of Texas. A letter from
our army correspondent at Matamoras says :
tGen. Sam Houston is certainly dead He
died at Huntsville, Texas. | am with man
who was present when ne died. j. Terrell
Smith and another have administered on his
estate" With the long and varied career OF
this restless and ambitious man. his Indian
life, his legal and political position, and his
military experiences, our readers are iamil-
lar, as well as the struggles by which, under
his leadership, Texas succeeded in erecting
herself as one of the United States. He re-
ceived many tokens of gratitude from her peo-
pie, having been twice presidento of Texas, and
subsequently governor, beside representing
her in the United States senate, and holding
many other positions of honor and trust dur
ing nearly his whole life. Gen. Houston was
of large statue and imposing presence, and at
the time OF his death was about seventy years
of age. His remarkable history will never be
recalled without the recollection that his 10y
atty to his country wavered and fell when the
devotion and self-sacriice of her strongest
and bravest sons was most sorely needed

PETROLEUM FOR PRESERVING WooD.-The
oil wells near Prone, in Burmah, have been
IN use from time immemorial. Wood, both
for ship building and house building is inva-
riably saturated or coated with the products of
those wells. The result is entire immunity
from decay by the ravages of the white ants,
which IN that country are SO generally de
structive. NJ. Crepin, Belgian government
engineer, who has tried experiments upon the
relative advantages of creosote and sulphate
of copper for the preservation of timber in
marine constructions, from the attacks of
worms, says crsosOting is the only process he
has found to succeed for this purpose. He
says sulphate of copper affords no protection
whatever against the action of salt water and
marine insects. The Belgian government
now requires that all the wood seepers used
in the state railroads should be creosoted /;
and the government OF Holland has also made
the same resolution, and upwards of 800, 900
sleepers per annum are now being creosoted
by the Dutch government, and more by the
Belgian government.

The GREAT IRON CLAD DIcTAToR.-An
Intellectual attempt was made to launch the
iron clad battery Dictator in New York, on
Saturday. Besides swing ram, ooerated by,
fifty men, and a hydraulic pressure of four
hundred and twenty -five tons, brought to bear
against her, no less than eight steam tugs
were at the same time pulling at an immense
hawser made fast to her. The Dictator is
built entirely of iron, and weighs fire million
pounds. When the checks were knocked
away she moved a few inches, and then
stopped and could not be again started with
all the pushing and pulling. She was built
by the Delamater iron works. Another trial
was made on Sunday to launch the Dictator,
when eight powerful tugs and one of the Nor
witch steamers were all employed in trying to
pull the monster craft into the water. She
moved about two feet and a half, when she
stack again, and the effort had to be aban-
doned till Dec. 10.

DEATH OF PETER LYoN.-The recent de-
cease of Peter Lyon, Esq, formerly paper
manufacturer at Newton Lower Falls, will
revive multitude of most pleasant reminis-
cences in many minds Mr.. Lyon was truly
a gentleman of the old school. His family
mansion in Needham was the abode of hosp-
tally for long course of years, and a place
where the clergy of the entire neighborhood
ever found warm welcome. There used to
meet Father Grafton, DR.. Homer, the good
DIR. Sharp, Rev. Thomas Noyes, and others
of the old-time ministers, who set before their
parishes examples of true Christian charity
The domestic circle of Mr.. Lyon was large,
and his hospitality without stint or grudgng.
He used to make the paper for Major Ben
Russelrs Centinel, for the late Joseph L.
Buckingham's Galaxy, and for the Courier,
for long number of years. About the year
1887 he purchased tract of land of the late
John Welles, in eastern Connecticut, making
domestic paradise i'll the woods, and erect
ing his mills on the Natchaug river. Mr.. L.
was foremost in establishing the Meridian
lodge of Masons in Needham, of which he
was for several years master He was 81
years and one week old at the time of his
decease on the 18th ult., and leaves a large
number of descendants to keep his memory
alive in their Affections Boston Post.

The PRoFTTs OF SHEEP HUsBA NDkY In
sheep growing there are three distinct sources
OF profit sought, viz: Increase of number by
actual propagation, growth of increase in size
and weight, and the annual product OF wool.

nearly as possible the points OF excellence de-

fond hopes of the shepherd for increase.
Growth afterward is natural, easy and rapid.
The product of wool depends much upon the
health of the sheep, both for strength and
beauty of fiber, and weight of fieeces.- Work.

Imperishable.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts In youth,
The impulse to q Wordless prayer,
The dreams OF love and truth,
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The strlTlngs after better hopes
These things can never die.
The tmid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother In his need,
The kindly word 10 grIef's dark hour
That proves the friend indeed.
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens high;
The sorrow OF q contrte heart,
These things shall never die.
The memory Of a elasplng hand,
The pressure Of kiss,
And ali the tribes, sweet and frall,
That make up loves hrst bliss;
II with Arm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have eiasped, those lips have met,
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as II fell;
The chilling want Of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard Trpulse that chills the heart
Whose hupes were bounding high,
In an tinfadlDg record kept,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must hud some work To do;
Lose not chance to Waken love,
BE arm, and just, and true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee rom on high,
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.
