CIRcLEYILLE, Feb. 18th. 1861

CIRcLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. II
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compara-
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
Of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
periorj the admission of cold air, the sup
ply OF warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-hues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being goverheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in a healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
lion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

planning MILL.-In our rounds on Sat-
urday, we paid brief visit to the Lumber
Yard of Messrs. r. B. Adams & Co., whose
advertisement will be found in this morn
ing's paper. The stock of lumber, in its
various stages of preparation for use, is
very large and almost of every variety.
Their Planning and Matching Machine,
which we saw in active. and efficient ope-
ration, is certainly great curiosity. The
rapidity and smoothness with which it ex-
ecutes its work, and the ease with which it
can be adjusted to any size or quality of
lumber, are truly wonderful. 1t planes both
sides at once, and at the same time matches
the edges of the plank or board. With
these and other facilities in the way of i'm
proved machinery for preparing lumber,
Messrs. Adaust& Co. are at all times ready
to answer the calls of customers on short
notice.

LITHoGRAPHIc SKETCHES OF SOUTHERN
PRIsoNs.-Captain Robert l. Fisher, of the
18th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, who was
captured at Ringgold, Ga, and was in va
rious rebel prisons for period Of sixteen
months, has shown us two large and beau
tiful Autographs, engraved from original
sketches made by him while a prisoner of
war. One of these embraces views of a
dozen Southern prisons, in which Federal
officers were confined. The other engrav-
ing contains list of the officers incarcer-
ated in Libby prison at Richmond, as writ
ten down by Captain Fisher while in the
prison. The list of names is surrounded by
a handsome border, with beautiful and ap-
propriate views and designs.
Captain Fisher, who is stopping for a day
or two at the American, will be happy to
show these fine pictures of Southern pris-
on life to any one who may call upon him.

tory Of her misfortune being kept secret,
she Was again restored to her former posi-
tion and tn the affection and confidence of
old associates.
Resuming the life she had been accus-
toned to lead, she met in society young
man named Albert Rachke, who made her
proposition of marriage. The gin her>
self insists that she was opposed to accept
ing him, Blu, that her parents insisted upon
her marriage with Rachke. and she was
forced to accept him. Suffice i. TO say,
they we're united. The husband pur>
chased very pretty home on West
Twelfth street, near Blue Island avenue,
and furnished it neatly. Their conjugal
relations we're not, however, Of the happi-
es. nature. The marriage was celebrated
some FIVE month. ago, and since that time
their home has been The scene Of quarrel
and strife, little indicative of happy mari
;al relations. One week ago last Monday
the wife resolved upon self destruction.
Tired Of existence, she contemplated sui,
eide, and in pursuance of her purpose,
went 10 drug store on Blue Island aven~
ue and purchased considerable quantity
Of arsenic under prstense of poisoning
rats. The lady being known. no suspl-
cions were entertained, and the poison
was given her. Upon arriving home she
reflected upon the matter, aud at last
changing her mind determined to admin
lister the poison to her husband Watch
ing her opportunity she did so, and he
partook during the meal she herself had
was Unfortunately large, and the poison,
instead Of causing death, produced violent
nausea, BY which it was expelled from the
stomach, leaving him PROSTATE but not
dead. The wife, alarmed, fled from her
home, and for several days nothing could
be discovered concerning her place Of
refuge: The task Of searching for her
was again placed in the hands Of detective
Miller. who last evening found her sojour-
ming in house of i'll repu,e on Wells
street, near Van Buren,, and &C nveyed her
to the central station.
To-day she will probably undergo I'D
examination on charge Of an attempt to
take the life OF her husband. The extreme
youth OF the girl, her excellent appear
ance, the position she has heretofore occu-
pied, and the strange events connected
with her life within the past year, al
together make up combination Of cir
culn.tances which will invest her case with
great deal Of interest, and cause the final
issue to be closely watched by curious
public.

democratic District Committee

The New York Herald insists tha, the
administration ought to put an eni TO all
the debate about how Jefferson Davis is to
lie tried aud how offended, by sending
him quietly out of the country. 1t sug-
COSTS that to try him for treason would bA
supeIiluous, as everybody knows he is
guilty, and As the government has taken
the guilt OF all other rebels for granted by
pardoning them without conviction. We
quote as follows:

Chandler, .iteever and 5eechc- could be
hung up With Davis and an equal number
Of southern agitators, we should be very
willing 10 see the ceremony performed
Then there would be some sense in having
a grand trial. The country and The world
would be benefited by the execution Of
these sectional fanatics, who are afflicted
With different phases OF tie same disease

scot free. The northern fanatics tried to
dissolve the Union 10 get rid OF slavery,
sui the southern fanatics attempted the
same performance in order to maintain
slavery. There is no moral distinction,
and not much legal difference between
their degrees of iurpi,ule We see no
reason why one class should be lei of and
the other made TO suffer. l. is unfair 70
hang JEFF. Davis while Phillips is permit
ted to escape punishment. What is sauce
for the abolition goose ought to be sauce
for tie secession gander. Before Andv
Johnson became president he used to coin
eide with these opinions, and We doub.
that he has change! his vier. since he
entered the White House.

Rope Walking at Niagara-Narrow
Escape from Death.
From the Buffalo Courier, Aug IL.


On Thursday afternoon, Leslie the great
American rope-walker, gave bis fourth ex.
hibition at Niagara falls, 10 the pressn CO
Of Gen. Grant and suite, who accepted
invitations to witness the performance.
At first, Leslie, who was a.tired il a dress
Of silve: cloth trimmed with gold, made
the passage Of the river on a run in four
minutes. lie returned to the centre of
the rope and performed variety of gym.
nastio feats. He laid down on his back,
hung on the rope by one leg, and made a
detour GU the guy ropes. This done, he
came ashore and was highly complmen:ed
by General Grant, who endeavored to
persuade him not to attempt the peach
basket feat, as tho wind was blowing very
hard. But Leslie, who is determined to
perform what he advertises, proceeded to
invest bis feet in veri,able peach baskets,
with solid wooden bottoms, which be pur.
chased at Barnum's and started on bis
perilous transit. 1t was a fatiguing jour>
ney, but was safely accomplished in some
eight or nine minutes. He was welcomed
on the Canada side by reporter from the
New York Herald, and, after partaking Of
some refreshments, started to return with
his balancing pole strapped to bis neck, a
pail of water in each hand, and another on
his head. This is a feat never before at
tempted, and it was only half accomplish
BY the intrepid Leslie. Feeling somevha a.
exhausted, when near the centre Of the
rope he sas down, steadyibg the pals in
his hands on the rope. and leaving the one
on his head in position. He remained
sitting some five minutes, and then resum-
ed, without spilIng a drop of water, his
journey. Shortly after he started his
right hand became suddenly numb, and
tho pail dropped from it.
This destroyed his balance, and com>
PEELED him to drop tho other pail. In
doing this, he slipped or fell from the rope
upon which be caught by one leg. Here
he hung, with bis pole Weighing forty Eve
pounds tugging away at bis neck. Sus.
pended there, be could sec the hands Of
the crowd on shore uplifted in horror and
hear the sharp cry of,error. twas case
of life or death, and with almost supsrhu-
man energy, Leslie succeeded in catching
the rope with his left hand, regained bis
equilibrium and the control of his pole and
reached the American shore in safety, tho
completely exhausted. We venture to
sSy that no somnambuist was ever placed
in more perilous position, or displayed
greater GOODNESS and courage. No one,
however, will wish to see the pail feet At
tempted again.
Leslie will make his next ascension at
the falls on the 9th inst, on which occa-
sion be will be envelcped, neck and heels,
in q sack.
