a few rules for the regulation Of
stoves, whether used for wood or coal,
from one who has had experience, may
aid beginners in their efforts to keep
these necessary articles somewhat in
order, and preserve the dignity of the
matrons from occasional outbursts of
displeasure. If all persons would be
careful to observe them it would save
expense and vexation generally.
AS the pipe attached to stove is in
tended to serve II purpose-sec that the
stove-pipe and chimney are free from
distractions. Omitting this note is n
common source of trouble; and in addi
ton, do not fail to clean out the stove
fluec. The first rule should be observed
Mt least every three months, and the last
every week.
Never allow ashes to accumulate in
the pan so az to obstruct the draft; and
always remove them when you require
the oven to heat for baking. This rule
must be remembered, or many poor
loaf of bread will remind you OF it.
Ifyou wish your fuel to cost you 40
per cent too much, be careful to have a
good coating of SCOT and ashes over the
oven and around the passages of the
stove, and the object will be accomplish
ed. Remember that they are almost
the best non-conductor known, and will
not disappoint you in causing the heat
to pass off into he chimney. This last
fact is well and faithfully understood
and observed in this community, rs the
fuel bills will testify.
If you wish the fire to keep we'll and
not require replenishing often, be sure
and fill the stove so full that no air can
get through, and we will warrant you
that you can't bake potatoes in four
hours, and that the CRATE of the stove
will fail by the process from three to
four times every six months.
There are many persons who are not
careful to remember that the coal in the
fire-box must not be packed and the
lower part OF the fire-boX kept free from
ashes or c.nders. 1t is impossible to
have d good free and quick fire when
the fire-box is stuffed too full of coal, or
the stove is clogged by cind rs or ashes.
Try the experiment Of using Il small
amount of coal, and TO Keep it from 60
;n,y ont Tbic coupot ha DOM. Lx- nsi ~ a,
too much draft. Recollect that fire
can be put out cfftctually by allowing
the craft 10 remain fully open too long.
Many person daily may ruin their
fire for the day by Keeping the DRAFT open
while at breakfast. 1t is passing strange
that some people will continually COM
plain yet they will not head the eau
ton "kecp the lire free and unobstruc-
long
Weigh out !. lbs OF coal for com
mon cook stove, and hide the key to the
coal shed till the next day. IT, you run
out of coal, go hungry and cold the rest
of the day, and follow this rule till you
learn how to use coal in cook stove.
The same general rules apply to q
heating stove, and if any one doubts
the correctness of the assertions above
and will not try the experiment., let
him continue to pay out nearly double
the amount necessary fer fuel, and
scarcely ever have fire in good condi-
lion.

AN ECCLESIASTICAL CASE.-An &C
clesiastical case of great interest has
been commenced in the Superior Court
Of Hartford, CT. The Rev. Daniel
Gibbs was installed as pastor over an
ecclesiastical parish in Gilead, CT,
and an engagement made with him as
to services and salary. His labors were
not acceptable, and he was dismissed
from his pastoral relations by conso-
citation of churches. He claims that the
consolation had no right to set aside the
contract between himself and the
church he is ready to fulfil his part
Of the contract, and the church must
pay him his salary according to the
terls of the agreement. The case
accordingly touches the powers If an
ecclesiastical consolation as to conflict
between pastor and people.

A HOG WITHOUT EARS.-The Bos-

A HOG WITHOUT EARs.-The Bos-
ton Herdid says:--
AT the Norfolk market in fremont
street, Highland District, may be seen
dressed hog weighing 200 pounds,
without any ears or indication of hear
ing. Where the ears should be there is
a depression in the side of the head, but
no opening into the head by where there
could be any hearing. Another pacu-
liarity about the Lead is, that across the
snout, above the eyes, there is apparent
~ joint by which the upper jaw can
be raised. The hog was raised in this
vicinity, but the present owner has no
knowledge of anything in relation to
its history.

Democratic ! EcOHossly Against
Radical ExtraVaganCe.

Republican editors and correspond
ents are already trying to create the i'm
preston that our Democratic Legislature
expended more money than did the last
Republican Legislature. This is not
true as appears from the following state
ment: The Republican Legislature in its
last year-1s67- appropriated the sum
of S4,7SS,227, while the Democratic
Legislature in 1869, being also its last
year, appropriated only 81, 54l, 295, being
S246,932 less than the Republican Leg
iSlature appropriated during the cores
ponding year of its existence and in the
appropriation bill just passed the Nor
gan raid claims, amounting to over half
million dollars, are provided for, and
also an appropriation to rebuild the Cen
trail Lunatic Asylum, which was burned
down. This shows saving of over q
quarter of a million dollars, compared
with the last year of the last Republican
Legislature. The appropriations for
1865 were more than half million doi-
lars less than the appropriations for the
corresponding year of Republican leg
islation This is sufficient answer to
all the howls of Republican editors and
correspondents about the length Of our
sessions and the expenditure of money
by this Legislature.

~The Pope's fete was celebrated
with magnilicence such as Rome has
never before seen, Immediately after
mass the Pope entertained some nine
hundred of the most distinguished of
his visitors at a rejection in one of the
grand halls of the Vatican. In the af-
ternOon there was reception of about
two thousand persons, when addresses
were presented and read, by which the
Pope was much gratilied and evidently
affected. As evening approached the
scene changed, and not only all Rome,
but all the inhabitants of the Roman
States, thronged down to st. Peters to
offer the homage Of their respect to the
Pontiff. 1t was not an assemblage
merely of fine ladies and gentlemen who
come in dashing equipages to gaze up
on q spectacle, but Of all classes, and
especially of the peasants in the varied
and pretty costumes Of Albano and
Frascati, of Genzano and Nettuno, and
a host of other places. Seven bands
played in harmony, and 4 hymn of con-
graduation, composed expressly for the
occasion by Gounod, was sung. On
the conclusion of the hymn the Pope
appeared at one of the side windows
and gave his benediction to a large mass
Of persons. The tops of the Colonna-
des were crowded, 50 were the windows
of the distant houses, and not merely
the Piazza, but the streets leading into
it, were choked. There were 10000
people present Victoria sent her
congratulations by telegraph.

The Republican Party.

The New York Herald has been for
some years most conspicuous and able
advocate of the Republican party. 1t
has particularly distinguished itself by
its devotion to General Grant and his
Administration. This fact gives point
and force to the following, which we Sc
lect from q late number of our New
York cotemporary. 1t says
''The fact has become patent that the
Republican party is the most corrupt
that ever cursed our land. During the
war its leaders fell upon the National
Treasury and the public credit like so
many ravenous wolves. Their jobs and
robberies in The way Of army contracts,
in the sale Of rotten old hulks for trans
ports, in Tie building of new war vessels
that proved shells or abortions, and in
every thing connected with supplies, in
cludin9 provisions, clothing, forage, hos
pital stores, and so on to the end of the
catalogue, for the use Of the army and
navy, were enough to appal any other
people than the American. These de-
plitN Cu itliIi lullSl iSs'lClS, Will diIpt-
tites fol the spoils of office still linger-
ing in their Unsuitable. e.maws, have now
fastened upon the Senate of the United
States, and, with an righteousness that
spurns sl compromise, reason and con,
troll, demand that no appointment shall
be made without their having finger in
the selection. In the homely phrase of
a Western Senator, they are persistently
'dingdonging every member of that
body; and, it is mortifying to acknowl-
edge, they have in that body friends and
confreres as corrupt as themselves, who
are ready and are employed to do their
bidding in making Indian treaties, al
lowing enormous grants Of land for pri-
vate purposes and engaging in other
scandalous practices, besides encouraging
fraudulent appointments to office"
To this Indictment Of one of their or.
gans our Republican friends can do notl.-
ing but plead guilty" i

The EGct Patent.

The New York Herald says "the fact
has become patent that the Republican
party is the most corrupt that ever ours
ed the country" It's to be inferred
that if the fact hadn't become patent
the Herald wouldn't have mentioned it.
However, if there is one point upon
which the Herald is thoroughly posted,
it is that of corruption. Its statement
will be allowed full weight; in the first
place, because everybody knows it 10 be
true and in the next place because the
Herald is the champion organ of the
Administration.

A Monster BKasning Scheme.

According to a Northwestern paper,
Chicago is ready to so ahead of all crea
ton in the canal way. A ship channel,
one Thousand feet broads and sixty feet
deep, is to be constructed across the State
of Illinois, to some point on the Missis-
sippi river enough below the level of
Lake Michigan to admit of a steady flow
of water into the Mississippi. The fol
following results are to ensue: The
river st. Lawrence will become but
a brook. Niagara Falls will stand a
damp wall of rock, if indeed the
water does not flow back over them, for
ced by the tremendous suction. Chica-
90, Buffalo Cleveland, Detroit, and Mil
waukie will be sixty feet above the pres
ent highwater mark, and millions of acres
of new land will appear in the shallow
lakes. New York would be nowhere.
The largest vessels in the world would
navigate the Mississippi, land steam tugs
ofextraordirary power'--we quote the
bring sailing vessals from
New Orleans to Chicago in four days
The work will cost only SS4,000,000:
and Chicago, with the help of Leaven-
worth, will raise this little amount in a
few days.

THE London Times on the Life of Lord
Brougham
AnecdOfO of Lord Br0ugham--E6-
eCt OF ilaliled Fort.

In the new Parliament Brougham de-
livercd his great speech in defence of it
tho reform bill which by many was
considered his chef d'euarer. 1t GER
tainly was wonderful performance to
witness. He showed most stupen
dous memory and extraordinary dexter
ity in handing the weapons both Of ridi
cule and reason. Without note to re-
fer to, he went through all the speeches
of his opponents delivered during the
five nights debate, analysing them sum
marily, and, with little aid from per
version, giving them all seemingly tri.
umphant answer
The peroration was partly inspired by
draughts Of mulled port, imbibed very
copiously toward the conclusion of the
four hours during which he was on his
legs OF on his knees.
He concluded.
"By all you hold most dear, by all the
ties that bind every one of us to our or.
der and to our common country, l sole.
mn.y adjure you, warn you, 1 implore
you-yes, on my bended knees, (he
kneels, l supplicate you, reject not this
bill"
He continued for some time as if in
prayer; but his friends alarmed for him
lest he should be suffering from the eff
ects of the mulled port, picked him up
and placed him safely on the woolsack.
