MANAGEMENT OF Coal FIRES The
ashes or cinders are not 10 be- thrown away
but dampened to a kind of a morter and again
placed on the ere. They burn readily and by
so doing there is the economy of having a hot
fire with one tenth of the fuel besides not be-
ing troubled to convey the ashes to a common
receptacle. We do mt know of a stove which
makes ashes enough to supply itself, only a few
nuggets. of coal being used First make a fire
in the usual way, and when it begins to burn
freely place a lump of coal. (the best,) hear
the stove door or In front of the grate-then
heap on the wet ashes, or ciDders, and pack
them down, the vent below being unobstruc-
ted. The process is simple, ard a few trials
will satisfy the unbelievers.
Dust coal may be used in the same manner
and We are assured that many cellars have
zines of wealth in the refuse offormer years.
While coal is so scarce and so costly, should
not economy prompt a trial of the plan poin
ted out which is attended with so little trouble
and a spnring of labor?-Er.

Money, Monex. Money,

The authorities at Washington have given
official notice that fifteen dollars will be paid
to any citizen for every raw recruit he will in
duce to enter the military service This is a
circumstance which will live in history, and
tells With painful clearness how utterly the
mad policy of the Administrator lacks the
hearty moral support of the People. 1: is a
confession of belief on the part of the author
tiles, that fear of the draft j sinot sufficient to
induce the public to join efficiently in the
work of filling the army. Instead of. AN APP
peal to feelings of patriotism, they hold out a
large money .inducement to secure the infu-
ence of men in persuadipg their ~neighbors 20
enlist.
We would be glad to think that no man OF
Licking county, will put this premium money
into his own pocket. With still greater earn
cstness, we hope that no part of it will be ex-
pended in securing recruits by the use OF
liquor When a man is induced to enter
the service, let him have the premium as well
as the bounty. Don't seek to make money out
OF the blood of a neighbor whom you induce
to go whilst you keep yourselves snug and safe
at home.-NeDark Adpocafe.

S6rsWe are under the painful obligation
of announcing to the community the sudden
death of Mr.. WIN. ARTHUR, leader of the
Band of the 23d Regt. O.V.I I. The deceas-
ed entered the service in june, 1861, and re-
manned until mustered out pursuant to orders
from the War Department.. But a desire to
serve his country again urged him to enter
the army. At he unanimous request of the
officers of the 23d Regt. he organized the
Band, of which he was leader at the time of
his death. But a few days since the deceased
was at hcms enjoying the society of relations
and friends, and he returned to camp in per-
feet health. On Friday evening last he re-
tired as usual. On Saturday morning his
companions found that he had passed from
sleep to a state of insensibilty, from which it
was impossible to arouse him. Medical aid
was of avail. lie died at IL o'clock, of con.
gestiou of the brain. With his relate ms aud
many friends we deeply mourn his death.
