the oil and gas 10 the lower deposits a
most exclusively, for these reasons:
FIRST, that they come forth. and very
abundantly in large districts, far remote
from any tracts of the coal formation, and
where those inferior rocks are the only
carbonace"us ones which underle the sur
face. Secondly that like discharge of
/ petroleum and eombustible gases occurs
In some of the other coal fields of the earth,
even where their coal beds arc notoriouslv
] bituminnus and dangerously full of fire.
/ damp Thirdly. there are some dilferan-
ces, so the chemists inform US between
these native heterogeneous products and
the genuine coal oils and their resutants,
/ procured by artificial methods of separa-
ton, From this it is inferred that the
greater portion of the oil and gas is really
derived from the marine animal carbona-
ce"us shaies, and not from the vegetable
beds Of coal and their coallv rocks The
process Of tie extrication of the petrole-
um from the lower strata, and its accumu-
latlon in the pores, ere ices and Joints Of
the upper ones, is believed by the same
learned authority to be simply this: That
during the epoch, or the perhaps success
sive epochs, of the up fitting of all these
water-buried and water-side sedimentary
strata. earthquake pulsations and other
unduiations Of the crust, formed and fixed
the textures in the strata as described,
and that during the earthquake oscil a
tions, and even after their cessation, CO
pious amount Of the highly heated subter-
ranean stream, the constant attendants
upon earthquakes, heated the strained and
raptured rocky beds, dislod ged their more
volatile constituents, and carried or dis
titled these latter, one portion into the at
mosphere and the residuary part into the
interstices of the overlyin9 cooler and less
fractured strata. Upon this hypothesis
we see Low in those belts of the Al legha-
nies where the crust was most convulsed
ami the rocks were most contorted and
highly heated, the Goa beds we've actually
coked into dense anthracite, and how fur
ther from the lines of maximum, subter-
ranean pulsation and steaming Of the
rocks, the 'olatile matters below the sur
face were progressively less expelled, till
entering the petroleum districts the crust
movements and warming were so mode
rate that they only sufHced to displa e the
larry and gaseous matters fr. IN the under
wing beds, to lea them, at least in part,
in the cavities and eel and fractures Of

Treat Your Horses Gently.

After witnessing one Of Prof. Rarey's
horse-taming exhibitions last fall, we could
not repress the thought that general ac-
quaintance by horse-keepers with his sys-
TEN, would be productive of advantageous
results, incalculable in amount. Let every
horse-keeper read the following, from
some remarks made by Prof. Rarey, and
apply them to practice:
"Almost every wrong act the horse
commits is from mismanagement, fear, or
excitement. One harsh word will so ex-
cite nervous horse as to increase his
pulse ten beats in minute. When we
remember that we are dealing with dumb
brutes, and how difficult it must be for
them to understand our motions, signs
and language, we should never get out of
patience with them because they do not
understand US, or wonder at their doing
things wrong. With all our intellects, if
We were placed in horses situation, it
would be difficult for us to understand
the driving of some foreigner, Of foreign
ways and fereign language. We should
always recolect that our ways and lam
guage are just as fareign and unknown to
the horse as any language in the world is
to us, and should try to practise what we
could understand we're we horse, endea-
voring by more simple means to work on
! his understanding, rather than on the diff
ferent parts of his body "-Farmer and

a Successful Ioe House.

Ten years since built an ice house.
After inquiry and reflection, l adopted
the following details of construction, which
has proved complete success, the supply
rarely failing until ice forms again: g
= I chose as location, a north-laying
bank of sandy formation, made the exca-
: vafion cube Of thirteen feet, or so that
the earth removed would bank up to that
height, put in an eighteen inch dry soall,
except the top foot, which was mortared
/. inserted on each side three pieces of B by
4 inch scantling, to which perpendicular
1-inch pine boards were nailed as lining;
, put on light shingle roof of double pitch,
left the spaces at the caves between the
rafters open for draft of air to enter and
placed small Venitian window near the
top of the north gable for it to escape
Before putting on the shingles, and after
Dailing lath on the under side Of the raft
ers, the intervening space was tightly
9 packed with straight straw; the roof is
Kept whitewashed The south gable con-
,lsists of two doors, one OF which answers
4, for general use, but when filling, the
ground being level on that side, both are
opened, small platform placed in front
of them, and the ice is shot directly in
from the cart. The bottom was made
about one foot deeper in the middle than
at the sides, and 8 to 10-inch chestnut
logs laid across it close together; the ice
IS thrown ON these. a..
> fill only to the square with ice, and
the remaining space with wheat straw,
which am careful always to keep cover
ed over the ice and packed down the sides
foot or two, as it melts, leaving space
of about one foot between the ice and the
lining. The bank was well sodded up to
the wall, SO as to throw off rain-water fall
ing on the roof, and prevent its ingress to
the house. Free daily use is made of the
ice during all the warm season, for a
family of nine, and there is usually about
load or two over. The capacity of the
house is about twenty well-flled ox-cart
loads, with side-boards. SO. B., in Gar
