reason why the ashes Of bituminous coal
may not be equally effective, but Mr..
Moele (the inventor Of the earth-closet)
recommends that they may be mixed with
one-half their bulk of earth.
All ashes are Objectionable for use in
commodes in the house from the dustthat
flies when they. are put into the hopper
but in the case of fixed closets this
difficulty would not be noticed. On shin.
board, especially on steamships, where
water-closets are always nuisance, the
use of ashes would be entirely successful.
CARE.
The. earth closet, like all other human
contrivances, needs attention. The earth
in the vault will not deodorize the fouling
of the seat; wet earth will not deodorize
the faces that it covers, and if the accu-
mulatien is not occasionally leyeled, the
earth will not be so thrown as to entirely
cover recent deposits. These things must
be looked to, but they require no more
attention than does the water closet and
if the needed attention is given, the de-
pressing odor that so often accompanies
the best arranged water-closets will be
entirely unknown. +-.Vt

Wood ashes must under no circum-
stnaces be used, as the potash that they
contain has the effect of driving off the
ammonia. Anthracite coal ashes can be
used with perfect success in winter, and
probably in summer as well, but we can
not say this positively. We can see no

When the earth is removed from the
closet or the commode it should be
emptied into barrel, cask or bin, in
sheltered but well-ventilated place.
Here twill so far decompose that all
traces OF paper and of solid faces will dis
appear, and it will be to considerable
extent dried. 1t should now be worked
over with shovel or a rake until its
parts are perfectly mixed, and it may
then en- be dried by natural or artificial
means, as circumstances suggest, and pre-
pared Tor another use. Until the decom-
position of the foreign matters has become
complete, it is better that the mass be
kept in compact body after that, the
more 1t can be spread the more rapidly
will it dry.
In the case of fixed closets holding a
three months supply, it is hardly necess
sary to resort to any artificial means Of
crying nor even to any manipulation.
The accumulation in the vault or box mus
be levelled off with rake from time to
time, and this will sufficiently mix the
earth and f@ces. .tH ..s aa# sai. Geii
In such cases it would be the best ar.
rangement to have two bins in size equal
to the capacity of the reservoir and of the
vault of the closet. One of the bins and
the reservoir above the hopper being
filled with sifted dry earth, and the other
bin with freshly collected earth, we 90 on
and use out the supply in the reservoir
In three months it has all passed intosthe
vault and is all mixed with feces. We
now fill the reservoir with contents of the
first bin, and put the contents of the vault
IN It's place. When the reservoir is again
empty, the earth that was freshly collected
and moist six months before, is dry and
tit to be sifted into the reservoir, the bin
from which it is taken being filed from
the vault. When the reservoir has been.
again emptied, the first clearing of the
vault will have had six months to become
dry, and may be sifted and used If the
same earth is used six times over, the
original supply Will last four years and a
half, at the end of which time it will be
worth fully fifty dollars per ton as man ure,

PARDoNED.-Charles Robinson and
Thomas onley, two colored youths
were tried and convicted OF petit larceny
at the September tls6S) term OF the Cir
cult Court Of MonongalIA county.
Their punishment was fixed at confine.
ment In the county jail for eleven
months and twenty-five days.
Several months since a petition fol
their pardon signed by many OF the,
best citizens OF the county, was laid be-
fore His Excellency, Gov. Stevenson
The reasons set forth in the petition are
that the prisoners are mere boys,-il
was their first offence-they promise
amendment-the punishment inflicted
vas severe, 90 the value ofthe articles
taken did not exceed fourteen dollars;
and the petitioners conclude by say
ing that Robinson and onlsy are sub,
jecis worthy Of Executive clemency.
III view of the considerations stated,
yesterday, Governor Stevenson direct.
ed pardons TO be made out, and we pre-,
sume they are on the way to their des-
tinatton this morning.

SERVED Him RlGHT.-Terrence Brady
was arrested In South Wheeling, Sat.
nrday evening, for disorderly conduct,
and lodged in Jail for safe keeping,
Yesterday morning he was brought out
and taken before E.qr. Martin for trial,
It was shown by the testimony that
Brady was not only dlsorderly but re-
sisted the officer while In the discharge
Of his duty. For the first named Of
fence, he was fined twenty dollars and
costs; for the other ten dollars and
costs-both aggregatlng nearly forty
two dollars.
But the law was not done with him
yet. During his attack Of obstreper.
business he had torn somebody's coat,
valued at ten dollars. This be was
also required to pay, but at the time
we visited the Justices Office he had moi
complied with the requIsltion. He had,
however, given the officer OF the law
such assurances that II should be forth
coming that he had been suffered to de.
part. Rather expensive little spree.

that Rev. Mr.. Hughes preached In the
morning instead Of Rev. Mr.. Rhodes
A chlldrens' meeting was held In the
afternoon, but we could not ascertain
by whom addresses were made. The
attendance, yesterday, was not so great
as on Sunday, still the congregation
was large and gave close attention to
the word preached. The interest Of the
meeting Is increasing, and should the
weather prove favorable, the services
will be continued until Thursday. The
order observed by the great crowd ia
most excellent, and the present indlca-
lions are that the meeting will be pro-
ductlye OF great good. -.

FOUND DEAD.-Yestsrday morning
the residents Of the eastern section OF
the city were startled by the announce.
ment that William Berkeley, whose
house Is on Sixth street, between Cen.
ire and Zane, had been found dead at
his residence. Mr.. BIS family was out
In the country, and he was occupying
the house alone. From this cIrcum.
stance the precise time Of his death and
the cause will never be AscertAlred. He
was seen Sunday about u O'Clock near
the Poutofio, apparently In his usual
health. That Is the last information
that could be obtained Of him while
living.
Yesterday morning Mrs. B. and
children returned from the country and
going at once TO the house, found It
closed. Raising one Of the windows
the mother assisted one Of the children
to get inside to unlock o door. The
child, when It reached the hall, found
the father lying on The floor dead. Qt
was reported that no was found sitting
on q chair and that when Mrs. B.
placed her hand on his forehead and
raised his head that the lIieless body
fell on the floor.
Theintelligence soon spread over that
section Of the city, and large number
Of persons quickly gathered about the
house. Judge Johnston was sent for
and empanneled Jury to ascertain the
cause OF his death. Several witnesses
were examined, and the facts as sub.
stantially set forth above, were elicit
ed. The jury brought In verdict "lhat
the deceased came to his death from
causes unknown"
We were told by one who visited the
house for the purpose Of ascertAlnIng
oil the particulars, that there were sew
erAl COMMISSIONS about the arms, body
and lower limbs, such as would be pro-
duCed by falling down a flight OF steps,
and the fact that the deceased was
found but few feet from the foot Of
the hall stairs, would seem to give
strength 10 the supposItlon that death
had resulted from that cause. This,
however, 10 In direct conflict with the
report that be was sitting on q chair
when found. The remains were much
dlscolored and swollen, and the physl.
clan examined at the inquest gave II as
his opinion that ten or twelve hours
had interviewed between death aud the
time OF discovery.
Mr.. Berkeley was employed as a
clerk 10 the Establishment Of Messrs. ]
8. Rhodes IL Co., and had charge Of the
German department. He was esteemed
b Yall his fellow employees, and we be-.
lieve had the entire confidence of The
community generally. He leaves a
wife and five children.
