Preparing Shingles.

A correspondent Of the Boston Cultivator
gives his experience in testing the value OF q
wash for shingles. As the subject Is Of import
ance. VIC copy his remarks, wishing that he had
mentioned the kind and quality Of shingles
used: ."tf ''- a ".'"
'In 1914, having occasion to put up black.
smiths shop. o building Of oil others exposed
to Are and destruction OF shingles, I took the
precaution to prepare the sawed shingles with
which tho roof and walls were covered, In the
following manner: , 800.
Having large trough, I put into Il bushsl
Of quicklime. halfa bushel Of refuse salt, and
Ave or six pounds Of potash, adding water to
slack tho lime and dissolve the vegetable alkali
and the salt,-well knowing that pieces Of an
old lime pit. o soap barrel. or pork tub were
not the best kindling stuff, and having long
since learned. while at the Vineyard Sound,
that hot salt ,cater whitewash would endure nr
longer than that made with fresh watcr.-sb-
sorbing moisture. striking into the wood and
not pecling and washing OF set the bundles
Of shingles nearly to the bands, In the wash for
two or more hours then turned them end for
end. ...... .-rv -..t Gao r.. ,.,..-s
When laid on the roof and walls, they were
brushed over twice with the liquid, and were
brushed over at intervals Of two or three years
after. At the expiration Of eleven years, (seven
forges having been used,) o shingle had not
been burnt, nor had nail started. Tho shin
giles had become antt.phio0istie, and the acid
from the coal and the atmosphere had been neu-
tralired by the alkalies. so the nails remained
entire. The shingles now appear about ss sound
as new. The whitened and hardened shingles
in tho wake Of the chimney on any old house,
so abundantly confirm this theory and support
the practice, that he who runs or rides, may
read, and 60 and do likewise"

A painful silence followed Miss Law
tons testimony. At length, Deacon
Johnson put the question:
Did he close the door before he camS
into the sitting-room p
The answer was:
IL think he did,"
Had pin fallen on the carpet, it would
have been heard in any part Of our large
and beautiful sanctuary. Then Mr.. Ha.
ven rose UP and said
"Miss Lawton, what did you do with
that kiss | gave you?"
''Here it is," said Fanny, holding Up 1
specimen of that species Of confectionery
sometimes called kiss.
Then there was another pause, and
silence that was oppressive. Ill were
too much amazed, and either grati6ed or
mortified, to move. Most of those pres.
ent held their breaths.
Fanny" said orr blessed minister;
"did ever kiss you? ?"
"No; never. never said you did,"
So ended our minister's trial.

Secretary Chase was presented with a
splendid cushion Saturday night, by the
ladies at the Baltimore Sanitary Fair
The cushion Was marked, "Repose Well"
In the course of his speech, the Secretary
alluded to the motto.-''There is no re-
nose now" said Mr. Chase; 'but work,
patiently, unremitting, work is the lot of
all who sustains the country's cause" He
trusted and believed the day was near at
hand when we could repose, and repose
we'll; for with splendid army, and gall
ant leader and cause so just we must
have victory that would bring repose.

/ A story was current in the Capital this
morning that Ncwbern had fallen, and
that the Whole of North Carolina was vir-
tually i'll the hands of the enemy. Sever
al members of Congress told this story.
and it soon took to itself wings and flew,
by means of cipher dispatches, to all parts
of the country. There was no foundation
for the statement; and, upon examination
it turned cut that the Assistant Secretary
of War had told member of Congress
from Massachusetts that the later news
from General Banks was worse than the
rest. worse than the disaster at Ply
mouth" Out of these last words grew
the story that there was worse news from
North Carolina and finally that Newbern
had fallen. When such statements grow
out of nothing in Washington, doubtless
more monstrOus rumors obtain circulation
and credit further away from the War
Department. In such exciting times no
rumors should be credited for Il moment.
and unless statements of reyerscs or vic
tories are official it will be safer to totally
discrcdt them
SOLDIERS PAY.
Senator Fcsscnden rebuked the dema-
goenes in Congress who are proposing to
pay the soldiers in coin, very handsomely
SAID he
" Let me say to my honorable friends,
who act with me in this body that, with all
respect aud all proper humility, | counsel
them not to be frightened when the qucs-
ton of soldiers pay is concerned let not
their hearts beat so as to beat the buttons
off their jackets. Meet this question like
statesmen. The soldiers in the field are
men as we arc, and many of them better
men than we are. They understand these
questions and they understand the motives
of all these things. Sir, if there is u set
of men i'll the world who have been treat
ed we'll, have been treated as we'll as men
! could be, watched over with kindness and
care, and no expense spared to make
them comfortable. although in the nature
of things that care must sometimes fail, it
is the soldiers in the employment of the
government of the United States who are
fighting its battles. Take the soldiers
from our own state they get all the
articles necessary for their own individual
support without expense to themselves ::
the rise of prices does not affect them :
they are supported i'll the field with all
that is necessary to support life, at the
expense OF the government they pay
nothing for the food that they eat ; !, large
proportion OF them have no families at
home 4; they are young men, almost boys ::
and in regard to those who have families,
suppose it is the case in indiana as it is
in Maine-and presume il to be so in
every State OF the Union-no soldiers
family is permitted to suffer it their con
lition IS known, but they are looked 10 and
taken care of Aud now this cry about
raising the pay Of soldiers, without consi-
leration, without study, withou: care, and
from gentlemen, too, who are dcuouncin@
every day this government as on the exc oi
bankruptcy and unable to support itself
aud to meet the acquisitions upon it, COMES
with Il very singular ain.

RISE IN TIE PRICE OF NEWSPAPER
The rise in the price of printing paper,
ink and other printing materials for the
last three months have been Enormous
Prices average form 30 to 40 per cen;
higher than three months ago. Finding it
impossible 10 make both ends meet, pub
fishers in Boston, Portland, and other
cities, have recently increased the price oi
advertising from 3;' to 80 per cent. We
have been compelled in common with other
publishers to advance our advertising prices
% per cent, upon all transient advertising
and also upon yearly advertising. Our
yearly advertisers will please take notice.
We shall adhere to our present price
of subscription as long as we can stand it,
and hope to get along without further rails

by the middle of May, all of the
re-enlstcd veterans now on furlough will
have returned to the front the guards of
roads and garrisons will also be moved for
ward. The various preliminary movements
will be made. None of the three year
troops, whose term of service will ex pirc
this year, will have commenced their re-
turn. SO the aggregate of our effective
soldiers in the front will be greater than
ever before. A few days advance, unless
the enemy retreat rapidly and indefinitely,
will bring about battles that WILL perhaps,
