cherished by Mr.. d. through the troub'
lous days of 1850, 81, and 80, until the
ninth year Of its life was completed and
the tenth commenced. In the spring
Of 1868, the paper passed into the hands
Of its present proprietors. During the
time when printing paper ran up 50 far
above zero, when everybody was 'gone
to war" and everything looked blue at
home, 1t was reduced to six column
sheet; but soon Its increasing business
called for more room, and it again e.
sumed its present size; and the publish
ers hope and expect soon to see the time
when a further enlargement will be
practicable, with no danger Of retrogres-
sion following upon its heels.
In the beginning Of this, the sixteenth
volume, they have few promises to make
for the future; and, however pertinent
they might seem, still fewer apologies
to offer for the past. The ADVERTISER
Is intended to be, first and foremost, a
county paper, rejecting fairly aud faith
fully all events of interest and import
ance that transpire therein. While the
intention is to keep fully up with the
times in regard to news of our own and
Of all countries, while judicious selec-
tons from current literature will be US
ed % freely n space will permit, the
ground Is taken that the first business
Of q county paper should be to attend to
and advance the particular interests of
its own locality; and to this belief the
management Of the ADVERTISER is in
tended to conform. Politically, it trains
under the Republican banner, rs for
years it has done; but in SO doing is in
no way Murdered from an independent
upon all subjects at all times.

seems TO be but one opinion among leading
oil men about this locality, and that is that

HOw TO Avoid Wet Cellars.

An excess of water or too much damp
ness arises in some instances from surface
water, and i'll others from spring veins
thai crop out in the cellar. In many
instances, when the excavation is being
made for cellar in heavy, springy ground,
water veins are cut OF two or three feet
below the surface of the ground. When
such Is the case that water in those veins
will be discharged behind the cellar wall
will settle down and pass along the surface
of the cellar bottom. Sometimes, however,
the veins of water are not reached until
the excavation is about completed Then,
when the water veins, which pass through
the earth like the blood-veins of living
animal, are filled with water, the bottom
OF the cellar will often be covered with
water, even when a good under drain
has been provided to convey it away as
soon as it has accumulated in sufficient
quantities to flow out through the under
drain.
Now for the remedy. The correct way
to avoid wet cellar is to lay q tile drain
entirely around the outside of the excava-
ton, nearly q foot lower than the bottom of
the cellar, before the foundation walls are
laid. But after an edifice has already been
erected, and water appears on the cellar
bottom, the most satisfactory way to rem
der the bottom dry is to sink a channel
nearly foot deep entirely around the
cellar close to the wall and lay course
Of drain tiles in the bottom, which will cut
of all water veins and render the cellar
satisfactorily dry, by conducting the water
into the tiles before it can work along to-
ward the middle of the cellar.-Manufac-
tufer and Builder.
