Burning Spring itself"

ports: "Jconsider & eminenty OH producing land.

There can be no doubt that along your creeks and

Peter Martins Hot Air Furnaces.
COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1866.

COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1866.
To schom this may Concern
Peter Martin, of Cincinnati, has placed
his PATENT IMPROVED HoT AIR FURNACES
In our High School and District School No.
8. The Furnaces in District No. have
been in use two years; those in the High
School during this winter. So far they
have given entire satisfaction. For eff
cheney in warming, quality Of heat, econo-
my Of fuel, and promptness of action, they
deserve special commendation. 1 cheer
fully recommend Mr.. Martins Furnaces to
any who may desire an excellent mode OF
heating. e. d. KINGSLEY,
Supt. of Public Schools of Columbus.
CRcLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the UnionS 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, a 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 SUI
perior; 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
airfnrnaces, and TO secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
toa pleasant 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-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such q large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
fues from being overheated, and thus secure
{, the durability Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air In healthful condition. It IL
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 q large number OF furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public edifces. not only in Western,
but also In Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
Selieved TO be decidedly the best.

Important from Mexico Proclamation
Of .President Jaurez.

We learn from an extra of the yMeri.
can Republic that President Jaurez has
issued Q proclamation, in which he de-
ciares that, after three years of unequal
struggle against the legions of the invaders
the Mexican people are determined to 90
on defending their Independence and liber-
~ against despotism. He declares that the
cause os Mexico, which 10 that of right and
justice, has not sUccumbed and will nor
succumb. He declares that the throne of
Maximilian cannot rely upon the free will
of the nation. since it is built with the blood
of thousands Of Mexicans.
"The .usurper," he adds "doos not like,
perhaps, to think OF bis awkward position,
and instead of accepting the truths of our
~Urds, will reject them with scorn and con
tempt. Conscience that mover forgo,s nor
forgives, will aveuge MS. In the midst OF
the hustle of his court, in tho dead silence
of tho night, In the banquets. and even 10
the intimacy of home, always and every.
where, will haunt aud importune him with
remembrance Of his crime, without allowing
him moment Of pence to enjoy tho fruits
Of bis misdeeds. The hour OF atonemeut
will strike. and tho disappointment and re.
morse of the tyrant, of tho traitOrs and OF
all those who mock us-revelling at the vi.
cissitudes of our country-wiil be unaval-
ing, for the national judgment will be inhex
ible and stern.'' .-....... '..
He concludes by urging the Moxicans tc
renewed efforts to regain thoir independ
ence, and announces his determination I,
devote all bis energy to the national de
fense.
This proclamation is dated chihuahua

A Tragic Incident Of the Great Fire in
PHILADELPHIA.

The firemen as body, the police and
citizens present al the confagration, and
particularly in the early par. Of Il, worked
with almost superhuman energy to rescue
inmates OF the burning and threatening
dwelling houses. OF these scenes we can
presen. one which is full OF thrilling in
ierest. Messrs. McGurk, McGong lie, and
Samuel McMenamin Company, rushed
into the building 1886 and rescued writ.
ten upor the scroll of fame, rushed in 10
the building occupied by the unfortunate
We're family. AT this time the bvruing
oil, Kissing and seething, came pouring
down the street, and the house, from
which eleven persons had been rescued
but moment before, was lickod up by
the red, fiery tongues of the demon OF
destruction. At this time the brave
Fleetwood was bearing in his strong arms
tbs oody it is supposed, OF Mrs. Ware or
one Of her daughters.
His companions were driven back by
the approach OF the burning element
the increasing smoke. Almost at the
same moment the burning oil burst
through the rear part Of the house, and
flowing through the entry, all chances Of
escape was gone. The brave fireman
endeavored to fight his way out, still
holding the woman in his arms. He
reached the front-door steps; it was a
moment of horror; he lesped from the
step, driven by the Aow Of burning oil
through the house, but the flames closed
around him; groan and shrek escaped
the lips oftbe victims, ard both fell, iu
death. His companions endeavored tc
rescue beth, but il was impossible. The
crisped remains of them were found bu
q few feet distant from each other, W.
Nv the charred body of this brave, young
man in the basement OF the old South
wark Hall. 1t could scarcely be realized
as the remains OF a human being; bu,
black as it was, it was worthy Of a grave
of distinction and monument Of lame

SOMEBODY makes the following curious
calculation. What is a billion? The re-
ply is very simple-a million times mil
lion. This is very quickly written. and
more quickly pronounced. But no man
is able to count it. You may count 100
or ITO a minute; but let us even suppose
you may 60 as far as 200; then an hour
will produce $4,000; Gay 958. 900; and

you may rest from counting during leap

now, that Adam a, the first beginning OF
his existence. had begun to count. had
continued 10 do SO, and was counting still
he would not ever now, according to the
generally supposed age of the globe
have counted near enough. For tt
count q billion he would require 9,5ls
years, "a days. 8 hours and 80 minutes
according to the rule taken above. Nov
suppose we were to allow the poor coun
