..t' CIRCLEYILLE, Feb. 10th, 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 1t has given entire satisfaction. 1t
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
10 temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply OF warm air for the several rooms. and
the nres' are more easily regulated.
L" avoid scorching and decomposing the
ar, as Is done, to some extent, by other hot
air alrfurnaces, and to secure to each room An
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
10 apleasant temperature, as well as TO pro-
Iect the wrought-iron air-hues from
the effects Of the fire, it 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
tresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
hues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the 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 edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of large number of furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other, public ediilces, not only in Western.
OUT also In Eastern cities. Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best. n

BREAD UPON THE WATERs.-An interesting
case of this kind is mentioned in the Cbri1tiaH
Observer, by an Elder of the Presbyterian
church recently returned from the Federal pri-
SON at Emira. n. Y. Let it encourage others
to sow with a liberal hand the precious seed.
He says =
Sometimes the prisoners amused themselves
with making rings and other little triukets, Mr..
NJ. ad on a ring made of gutta percba and
Handsomely carved. Ooe of the men came TO
him and wanted to borrow it, to have one made
like it. As he loaned it to him, Mr.. NJ. asked
his name. Hanson" he replied The name
seemed iamiliar-or the man;-there was some.
thing connected with him that he ought to re
member, and as he walked away, he spents some
time in trying to recall the associations connec-
ted with this man Hanson. For long time he
was unsuccessful Butat length the truth flash
ed across his mind When he returned with
the ring. two hours later, Mr.. NJ. remarked to
him-'You said your name was Hanson,
thinE?' ''Yes," he replied abruptly, my
name is Hanson" Bat before he could move
off, Nj. NJ. continued, "Were you not in mill
tary hospital in Petersburg in the fall of 1861 ~
eyes" 'sDo you remember gentleman's Civ
ing YOU Bible hen?7 "Why,H said be quick
w., 'ithis is Mr.. NJ" You gave me that Bible,
and with the blessing of God it resulted in my
conversions and carried it home and my wife
read it, and my daughter read it, and it result
ed in the conversion of both of them, and now
we keep it very carefully and prize it above
everything We have in the world" Then, after
pause, he added, thoughtfully, GLOW strange
it is that we should have met then, and now
after three years be thrown together here in a
foreign prison. And he expressed not only his
willingness, but his earnest desire, to aid Mr..
NJ. in anything, and from that time became a
very Efficient and useful man in connection with
the religious movements in the priSQn-eveFy

DAY OF FASTING, PRAYER AND
TaHANKSGlVENG.1

The paper adopted by Congress made the
most full and hearty recognition of Christ our
Saviour; the proclamation of the President
carefully omits every thing Of the kind. This
is to be deeply regretted. Wear sure tits not
because the convictions of the President are
anti Christian. lie probably thinks that in a
document Of this kind, it is not proper to in
troduce any sentiment obnoxious to Jews and
Dests. This is mistaken policy Why not
then include Atheists also, and omit even the
recognition of God The religion of this
country is the Christian religion, and such docu-
meuts should conform to that fact. Jews and
Doists may observe the day in the way best
suited to their opinions, or if they choose,
may wholly disregard it. But the mass Of
our people expect to observe it under forms Of
Christian worship, aud failure on the part Of
the President so to recognize it, is liable to
graver condemnation than we care to express
under existing circumstances.

HUMILIATION PRAYER WITH THANKSGIVING

The Congress Of the Confederate States, by
Joint resolution, have invited me to appoint a
day of public fasting, EQUALIZATION and prayer,
with thanksgiving to Almighty God.
1t is our solemn duty, at all times, and more
especially in season Of public trial and adver-
sity, to acknowledge our dependence on His
mercy, and to bow in humble submission before
His footstool coDfcssing our manifold sins, sup
plcating His gracious pardon, inploring Ills
Divine help, and deyoutly rendering thanks for
the many and great blessings Which He has
vouchsafed to us 'a.-
Let the hearts of our people turn contritely
and trustfully unto Gud; let us recognize IN
His Christening hand the correction of Father,
and submiss,vely pray that the trials and sui
feripr5 which have SO long borne heavily upon
Ms NAV be turned away by His merciful love
that His sustaining grace way be given to our
people, and His divine wisdom impaired to our
rulers; that the Lord Of Hosts will be with our
armies and fight for us against our enemies
and that He will gracously take our cause into
His own hand and mercilully establish for us a
lasting, just and honorablopeace and independ'
ence
And let us not forget to render unto His holy
name the thanks and praise which are SO justly
due IOr Ills great goouheSs, anu loI INC 'n"' ,
mercies which He has extended to us amid The
trials and suferings of protracted and bloody
war.
Now, therefore, l. JEFFERSON DAVIS, Presi
dent of the Confederate States of America, dc
issue this my proclamation, appointing Friday
the 10th day of March next, as a day of pubic
fasting, humiliation and prayer, with thanks
giving for invoking the avorand guidance
Of Almighty God;' and do earnestly invite
all soldiers and citizens to observe the same in
a spirit of reverence, penitence and prayer.

The communication from their Committee of
Missions will, of course, receive the attention
of all the brethren aud churches concerned. a
long aud intimate acquaintance with that body
may constitute some apology for single re-
mark The strength of that Presbyt6ry is in
the counties of Augusta and Rockbridge. The
churches there are sufficiently numerous to en-
able any whose pastors may go for time to the
army, to have their pulpits supplied in part by
neighboring ministers whose age, infrmities or
