FIRES FROM EMBERs.-There IS prac
tice with many persons quite too common
TO use barrels for preserving ashes
These barrels are sometimes placed at :
distance from all buildings, and some
times adjoining or in a shed, clubhouse OF
wood-house. At or soon after the time the
ashes are taken up they are emptied into
the barrels At first there is some caution
about putting the ashes into the barrels
till the fire is all out but after the barrels
are partly full there is less care in this
respect-many persons not knowing OF
realizing that old ashes will frequently
take fire from embers or ashes which
seem to be free from fire. No doubt
many houses are burned from ashes thus
disposed of One of the most intelligent
citizens Of this county, Mr.. 9, NJ Fowler
has just called and suggested that i
would be we'll to call the attention OF tn
readers of the TELEGRAPH to this source
of fires. He has known many cases of fires
originating in hot ash es or even in ashes
thought to be cold, placed in other ashes
not knowing that fire would sometimes
run from smouldering embers through
cold ashes and set fire to the barrel ant
any building with which it is connected
He once wrote an article for publication
calling attention to this source o. fires
and giving cases thus originating which
had come to his knowledge. But SOM
who were then warned have become for
getful and neglectful, and others hav,
since come on the stage Of life, and boil
need to have their attention called anew
TO the danger from this source of fires
And the doing it,as suggested by Mr.. Fow
Ter may be the means of preventing som
fires And if it should, he and we shall
be amply com pensated for doingit.
