CITY ITEMS.
ENTERPRISE.

We learn that our enterprising fellow
townsman, James Naughton, is keeping up
with the times, and seems determined to be
the leader in this age Of Improvements.
His already magnificent establishment
seems inadequate to his wants and desires,
so he is making another stride in advance of
his less enterprising competitors, by adding
a new department to his extensive business.
He is now fitting up asplendid salesroom
for Carpets, Oil Cloths, &c, which he ex-
poets to have replete with all modern re-
quirements of House Furnishing, by the
first of September; and we understand that
in order to give the mechanics an opportu-
nifty to make the necessary alterations in
the building, the present stock of goods are
to be sold out at such rates as will insure a
speedy clearance of the whole, although it
may involve presentloss of several thous-
and dollars. But Mr.. Naughton is a man
who looksto results rather than, present ad-
vantages; and as our information is from
headquarters, it strikes us that Cheap Dry
Goods are to be the order of the day, for q
short season, at the above establishments
and those intending to purchase will dc
well to avail themselves OF this decidedly
rare opportunity. ..'. u - J'.A -
We wish our old friend success in his new
undertaking.

PAYMENT AND DISCHARGE OF SOLDIERS
At TOP BARRAcKs.-The promptitude and
rapidity with which the returned soldiers
are paid off and discharged at Tod Bar
racks, is subject of common remark, not
only in military circles, but among citizens
acquainted with the facts. In twenty-four
hours, oftea in less time, the regiments and
detachments arriving at the Barracks get
their pay and discharge, and are on their
way home, with hearts full of gratitude to
the commandant of the post, Col. Skiles, for
his courtesy and energy, in speedily ac-
complishing the object for which they were
sent to the rendezvous at the Barracks.
On Saturday, the detachments of the Goth
O.V. LBS men; the 3Sth-9l men, and
the 3lst-9 men; and yesterday Sunday,
the 45th-320 men, and detachment of the
5th-70 men, were discharged at the Bar
racks. There remained there last evening
only the 18th Battery and the 176th regi-
ment, who will probably receive their dis
charge to-day.
Since Friday, the 9th inst, in little over
one week, 27 regiments and detachments
making an aggregate off, 400 men have been
discharged at the Barracks. Wehave not
before us the data as to whathas been done
at other points of rendezvous in the State,
but we doubt whether any one has equaled,
with the like facilities, what has been ac-
complished at Tod Barracks under the su
perintendence Of its able and energetic
commandant Col. Skiles.

CIRcLEYILLE, Feb. 18th, 1866.

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. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat witha given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated. ,9g,
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 pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-ffues from
the effects of the fire, 1t is essential that
the warm air-fues 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 overheated, and thus secure
the durability of tile furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition.. It 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 edifce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
