How to Act When the Clothes are on
~ Q. l.t.lH-- -. Fire. !.

The following, which we copy from the
Scientific american, should be cut out and
preserved:
"Three persons out of four would rush
right up to the burning individual, and be-
gin to paw with their hands without any
definite aim. 1t is useless to tell the VIC
tim to do this or that, or call for water
In fact, it is generally best to say not "a
word, but seize blanket from bed, or q
cloak, or any woolen fabric---if none is at
hand, take any woollen material-hold the
corners as far apart as You can, stretch
them out higher than your head, and run
ming boldly to the person, make motion
of clasping in the arms, mostly about the
shoulders. This instantly smothers the
FIRE and saves the face. The next instant
throw the unfortunate person on the door.
This is an additional safety to the face and
breath, and any remnant of. flame can be
put out more leisurely. The next instant
immerse the burnt part in cold water, and
all pain will cease with the rapdity of light
ming. Next get some common. flour, re-
move from the water. and cover the burnt
parts with an inch thickness OF Hour; II
possible, put the patient to bed, and do all
that is possible to soothe until the physi-
clan arrives. Let the -four remain until it
falls off itself, when beautiful new skin
can be found. Unless the burns are deep,
no other application is needed The dry
-four for burns is the most admirable reme-
dy ever proposed, and the information
ought to be impaired to ALL The principle
of its action is, that like the water, it caps-
es instant relief from pain by totally exclu-
ding the air from the injured parts"

Frugality is founded On the principle that all

Education begins the gentlemen, but reading,
good company and reflection must finish him.

A kind No is often more agreeable than a

'Tis better TO be lowly born,
And range with humble lirers in content,
Than to be perk'd up in glistening grief,
And wear golden sorrow.-ShGkspeare
AS no roads are so rough as those that have
just been made, so no sinners are so intoerant as
those that have just turned saints.
Pedantry Grams our heads with learned lum-
bur, and takes ont our brainsto make room for it.
He that stands upon a slippery place
Makes nice OF no vile bold to stay him up.
Conscience is the solitary seer in the heart,
from whose eye nothing is hid.
Singing is the only part of earthly worship
we shall take TO Heaven with us.
DR.. Franklin said "a good kick ont Of doors

Artemus Ward defines War as hard tack for
the soldiers and hard taxes for the citizens
II is common to speak of those whom a hirt
Tilted, as her victims This is q grave error
Her real victim is the man whom she accepts.
This reminds us Of smile-'sA coquette is a
rose from whom every lover plucks a leaf-the
thorn remains for the future husband"
Dahlias are like the most beautiful women

or the lilly to the dahlia, it would have been the
most'magniGcent gem Of the garden; but, want

In DARKNEss.-The supply of coal has
become so low in Washington, on account
Of the want of transportation, that the Gas
Co. have notified the Government that they
will not be able to supply the public Offices
with gas any longer, unless coal can be more
rapidly shipped. AS much of the govern
ment work is done by gas light, the dark
ness may interfere, seriously with the sup

SYNOD OF NIRGINIA.-The Presbyterian
Synod of Virginia met at Lynchburg on
Wednesday last, and after the usual opening
religious exercises and a short address, ad-
journed.
On Thursday, Rev. John NJ. y. Atkinson
was elected moderator; and DIR. Ramsey,
chairman of the committee on the state Of the
Church, submitted a lengthy report. The
as TO boundary lines between the State Of Nir-
ginia and West Virginia, and that the Synod
should embrace the whole territory heretofore
included. together with that portion of Mary
land now within its jurisdiction. The status OF
the colOred population having been changed.
the duties Of master and servant had ceased TO
exist, but the law of love still remains, and 40
becomes the duty Of the superior race TO do all
for the social and religious advancement OF the
negro. The report further recommends the
establishment of a religious newspaper, which
should be fully sustained and ably edited;
speaks of the ministerial duties Of ministers,
and closes with a eulogy on the ecclesiastical
union of the two churches. So much Of the
report As referred 10 the publication Of a news
paper was referred to special committee.
One thousand dollars Were raised on the floor
of the Synod to enable the churches of the
State to supply themselves with suitable tracts,
Sunday school books, and other religious read
ing. motion was made that that portion Of
the report referring 10 the instruction OF colored
persons be- referred TO Especial committee. with
instructions 10 report AT the next meeting OF the
Synod. which led TO considerable discussion
and, without arriving AT any conclusion there
on, the Synod adjourned til Friday.

TROUBLE AMONG THE EMIGRANTs.-A lot Of
German emigrants who had been brought here
from New York, TO work for one of the farmers
in 4 neighboring county, were in Court yester-
day TO show cause why they should not
pay the farmer the amount he had expended for
their transportation from New York. Ii ap-
peared that they had signed 4 contract, which
had been written both in English and German
by which they obliged themselves, aud fdrsilies,
TO work for eighteen dollars per month and
found, tor the space Of six months. After
reaching the farm they refused 10 allow their
wives TO work for the farmers and alleged thai
they did not understand the bargain, but
there IL was in black and white; and 50 il was
decided by the court. 1t appears thar the
great trouble, thus far, with the emigrant
scheme, has been 10 get the women TO work
Men with families are willing TO work on the
farms OF their employers, but they want their
wives TO remain in their quarters 10 cook and
wash, wait on the babies and raise chickens
&c, and this appears but reas enable; give the
