PETERSBURG, February II, 1868

PETERSBURG, February /, 1868.
We have to record to-day the sudden ano
dangerous illness Of Mr.. Allen Archer, tht
oldest citizen of Petersburg, and a mar
highly esteemed by all who know him. h'
has reached the patriarchal age of eighty,
ak. md until few weeks ago he seeue'
to have lost but little Of the vigor anu a az.
tivity of middle life. He was seiAeu Ina INA
morning with syncope, from "nioh no
only partially revived at the ias. aooT ~; !.
His situation is regarded as eA.rem NJ
t;csl by reason of his great age. IT,,
Archer ia extensively connecteu' Inns ien'
~ inte,I;pence may meet the eyes OF many
81 bic relatives, to whom it Will possess al
least a painful interest.
This Was Prince George court day, but no
matter of general interest occurred. Inc
tendance was scarcely as large as usual.
II was thought beforehand that puniic
,.oo,;nc wonld be held to pronounce on the
nnl;t;cai issues now agitating the State but
=, n 2 o'clock, the time when my informant
1af, no steps had been taken to that end.
The q new movement" however, was freely
discussed privately, and 1t seemed 10 DC tne
on;nion that its advocates were IN the NIL
nnri,v. being about as one to three. POSI-
hv a meeting was held later IN the after
noon, for Prince George was distinguished
in former times for always taking the ieao
IN affairs of national import.
The number of Commonwealth cases set
for the March term Of the hu5tinGs Honr'
il rapidly accommodating, and from all IN
d;cat;ons will far exceed anything known
IN the criminal records Of the city. Scarcely
o day passes without some person oelhs
committed, and sometimes as many as TWO
or three. Our new prosecuting attorney
will probably have more cases on MS nahu9
at that time than no has ever had IN the
whole course of his professional life:
The nominating committee OF the hepuo,
loan marty met at their hall last night and
made the following nominations MAJOR j.
4. Stone as clerk Of the circuit court, IN
Mace of L. H. Mann; W. H. Burgess, State
commissioner of revenue, IN place OF
Isaac Smith B. F. Childrey, tobacco IN
snector a; West Hill warehouse William
Falconer, tobacco Inspector at Centre ware
house; L. K. Heath, tobacco inspector nj
Oaks warehouse Dr.. william u. Pearse,
Of Dinwiddie, tobacco inspector at Moore's
warehouse.
Since the above was written Information
has been received of the death of Allen
Archer, whose illness was mentioned IN the
forepart of this letter. A worthy and most
upright man has gone to his reward. 5.

Timely Hints ON the use ofCoai


A common lault is to use too coarse oars wp0a
for kindGpg. and too much of it. This, While
81 it generally succeeds in lighting Tue coal,
9 leaves a bed OF ashes below the coal Whlcn m
terferes with the draught unless raked out;
4 an operation which always reI'.roS Inc COM
q bustion of ienited coal. Inc wood should be
of some rapidly burning variety which gives
o,icL and high heat, and should be split fine
: Il hould be SO placed that the coal will re-
main on the top of it, and not fall through TO
the crate, leaving the kindliug on the top of
any part oil the coal. The amount ofkindlina
wood required depends much upon the size OF
the coal. A common mistake is to use too
large sized coal. A good lule, where stoves or
furnaces have good draught, Is to use coal as
small as can be used without inconvenience
from It's Sitting too freely through the CRATE.
Crates should have their bars cioSeiy SET ior
stoves that are cleaned out dal}, ana nave
fires lighted in them each morning, WINE
81 those which are intended to have HfeS kept IN
them continuously Tor days ana weeks VIII
not admit OF fine CRATES, on account vi tue
accumulation of ashes and small 'clinkerS"
TheIe is much difference in coal in regard to
the formation OF clinkers. These are lothing
but vitrited or partially yi,Iifed, earthly mat
ter, and only can form when high heat is
maintained; they are apt to be troub esome
when there is TOO great crauoht. A coal stove
or furnace should be so constructed that ITS
draught can be perfectly controlled. The bot
tom drausht should admit of being C osed air
tight, as nearly as is possible to make it, and
there ought always to be provision made for
top diaught.' III, however, the draught OF a
chimney should be SO strong that air In too
great quantities is drawn in at the bottom ii the
hampers are closed, damper in the pipe
which will close it partially must be employ
ed, though in sluggish chimne,s such a dam
per is apt TO Torce the gases Of combustion in
to the room. and therefore it ought always to
be avoided when possible.
The practice Of putting ashes on the top of
fire to keep it's very productive of clinkeis,
atho -eh II answers the pur, ose very well IN
other respects. Damp coal screenings arc
better, and may be economically burned in
this manner. Ii coal fire gets very low, the
quickest way to extinguish ii is to rake 1t at
the bottom. To preserve fire under such
circumstances, a little coal should be placed
on the FIRE, and when it has caught, more may
be added, aud the raking deferred until it has
got well ieniteG. When the fire bricks have
become burdened with clinkers which have
fused and adhered, they may be cleaned by
throwing oyster or clam shells into the fire
box when the fire is very hot, and allowing
the fire TO go out. The clinkers will general
ly cleave off without the use of much force
the next morning. From two-quarts to OF O.
hall peck will be sufficient for most stoves,
and the operation can be repeated If some of
the clinkers still adhere. Scientific Ameri-
