CARBON On LArrs Speaking OF the
danger attending the use Of carbon oil
lamps; tee carrlrssness Of people In hand
ling them. and means to prevent explo-
sions. the Pittsburgh Commercial truthtul,y
remarks: Notwithstanding the fatal results
which follow the careless handling of carbon
oil lamps. accidents from tb is cause seem to
be on the increase. When these lamps
were first introduced they were generally
made Of brass, or metal of some kind, ard
it was impossible to break them. 1t was not
long, however, until glass was adopted, and
nearly all the lamps now in use are of that
material. To upset lighted lamp, or to
let it fall npon the floor, is almost certain
to cause serious fre, and 10 too many Ca
ses 1t results in death-and that. too, in its
most sgoniziDg form. There are many ways
10 which rccdeuls pf this kind might he
avoided. AS children and servants are apt
to be careless, it is proper to have tin or
brass lamps for them to carry ab1ut from
place to ploce. A good plan is to haze STA
aud indeed, these might DO placed in all
the rooms 30 as to avold the carrying about
Of lamrs 1t is almost impossible for atam-
lily to get along without one or two movea-
bic lamps, but these might be OF brass, so
as to guard against their breaking in case
an accident should occur. The chief 0, j-c-
tion agains. the nse OF metal lamps is the
liability to overflow them in flling-an OBJ
lection which, considering the unpleasant
nature OF the oil, prevents their use almost
altogether. This difficulty might be readily
overcome by having measure correspond
ing 10 the capacity of the lamp, and filing
from that. Certain il is that too much care
cannot be exercised in the handling o! oil
lamps, since the most careful persons are at
all times liable to accident, and msy be en-
voloped in fumes at q moment when they
least expect il.
1t is gratifying to know that deaths from
explosiOns-the result Of inferior oils-very
rarely occnr, especially in this section Of
the country. A few years ago, deaihs from
this cause were frightfully numerous, but
we have reason to believe that the oil now
sold is entirely free from explosive quail
ties The deaths which have recently oc-
Cured in this vicinity have resulted from
the breaking, not tho explosion OF lamps,
and every person who uses oil ebould take
every precaution to prevent such scci-
dents.

A PRIVATE letter from Emigrant Gap
complains bitterly of the supervisors for abol-
shing that precinct. The letter insists that
there are fifty voters there and that major
ity of them are Democrats. The latter was
probably the reason the precinct was abol-
ished. Wisconsin Hill is also Democratic
and it is abolished. My dear friend don't
you see that if the Democrats of Wisconsin
Hill are forced to foot it over Indian canyon
two or three miles to vote, that some of them
