There are many people who do not seem to un-
derstand what has been often stated, that wood
ashes, when exposed for some time to the atmos
phere, undergo chemical change which renders
them liable to become ignited and to burn through
out the mass, when hot ashes are added to them.
Many fires have been kndled in this way and the
Aabs ss, cold or hot, should never be kept in wooden
vessels

b Co.'s grocery establishment at Lockport Ind, o
few days since, in order to make room for new
goods, the Democrat says, old tea box was found

franc pieces, and almost all other kinds of silver

A curious incident occurred in Versailles recent
1y. It seems that woman living in that seat Of
the Bourbons had, for many years, been suffering

in short time after the doctor was summoned by
high Catholic dignitary to attest to miracle.
The doctor, being Protestant, begged leave to
decline, but he keeps the DE- cument as a curious
specimen Of the Catholic Church Of the Nineteenth
century.
The Dallas (Texas) herald speaks in just praise
OF the patriotism and conservatism OF Governor
THRooKMoBToN. We add, that in the course of
twenty-five years observation We have never
Known Govern Il who has labored harder to have
the laws justly administered and the rights Of all,
blaok and white, protected. No Governor in the
North can surpass him in this regard, if any of
them can equal him. And then he thoroughly
understands the wants and the legislation Of the
State, having been in public lite for many years.
dispatch from Richmond states it will be au-
thoritatiyely announced that Gen. LEE is strongly
in favor Of the people voting for convention, and
that every man not actually disfranchised should
not only take the necessary steps to prepare him,
self to vote, but should also strive to induce al
others known to him, whether white or colored, to
vote. This is precisely the advice We should have
expected from Gen. LEE. In fact We have not yet
heard Of single Confederate officer of distinc
tion who has not taken the same view, and urged
this course upon all his friends
