years In the service, might exceed that Of major

GLANCE AT THE GROWTH OF THE ARMY.
After the close OF the Revolutionary War the
united states were for time without military

cans CT that day were invetcrae their hatred OF
military establishment. But the protection OF the
frontiers from hostile Indians ana The necessity of
keeping intruders or the pubic lands TIL they
could be legally opened anu sold compelled the
employment OF soldiers. Three years after the raft.
1caton OF peace Congress proceeded, with great
elaboration and caution. to take small bodies OF
State troops into the federal service the resoufion
Tor raising them carefully stating the purposes TOR
wmch they were TO be employed. They were dis
trouted ana governed BY the federal Secretary OF
War, and the federal Treasury made the necessary
provision for their support. so few men were EN-
ployed however, that when Congress. at its nrst
session after the adoption OF tue constitution
recognized the then existing establishment as the
Army oItne United States. IL consisted OF only one
OF artillery. THIS little army OF 1000 men

numbers to 900 seven years later The cnerte with

Our townsman, v. b. Warden ha, inst Pat.
ented new method Of building houses. Il is
50 arranged that each girder and ioist are
firmly fastened In the walls at each end that
they maintain their positions, are firm support
ers or stays to the walls, they are so formed
aud fastened, that when broken by weight or
burned through, the fastenings In the walls
are instantly unlocked, and each piece falls
from tie walls, without the least injury to
them, and the walls are so constructed that
there Is no difficulty in replacing the girders
and ioisis as substantially as when first erect
ed. The plan contains several advantages
which are far superior to any thing as yet offer
cd 10 the public:
LIST. The walls will not fall by reason Of the
girders and joists and floor burning out.
2nd. This will enable the fremen to 20 as
close up to their work as the heat will PERM Il
without any danger Of being crushed by falling
walls.
3rd. The walls standing, will, in a great
measure, contine the ERE To its starting point,
and not permit 1t to spread horizontally as 1t
usually does, through the openings made from
house to house by the walls being thrown down
by the leverage OF the burned and broken gir-
ders and joisls.
4th. There being no danger OF the walls fall
ing, vast quantities Of movable goods can be
saved which must be lost 10 cases where the
walls are falling.
Sth Immediately after a FIRE, with walls,
gifders and joists according to Patent, 10 a few
days the woodwork can be replaced and bust
ness resumed, without the loss of money, labor
and time now usually required.
9Th. Rows OF houses built on this plan would
be insured at much less premium than is now
paid.
