OIL ON FIRE.
Loss About $4,000.

At quarter-past twelve O'Clock yesterday morn
ing fire broke out In the TWO story corrugated
ron building, at the foot of west Sixty fifth street.
North River, owned and occupied by Lombard,
Ayres Co., that caused damage to the building
Of $1,000, and to the stock contained in it OF
about $4,000. The fire. when it first started.
caused considerable alarm in the neighborhood
owing to the danger Of the oil spreading; but
upon the sounding of the second ALARM
which the 1remen answered promptly all
fears OF outside danger were allayed. Shortly after
the flames burst through the windows Of the build
ing the report Of the bursting OF the oil tanks
heard and reused many seepers on the west side,
but when it was ascertained the Oil works were
weIl removed from any dwellings the people re-
turned quietly to bed The nre is supposed to have
been caused bya leak in the tank, but the Fire
Marshal will hold an investigation into the matter
this morning. This same factory has been
on fire already on two 0ccasi0ns, and the
business is looked upon as being particularly
dangerous one. Considerable Interruption 70

caused yesterday BY the roofing up Of nAe OF the
rails OF the track Of the Hudson RfveY Railroad
on Eleventh avenue, by the heat and by the explO-
sion OF the bursting tanks Two telegraph poles
were also blown down, and communication with
the lower part O1the city was stopped. The police
telegraph was also dsarranged and the lines lead
ing to the central Ofiice were thrown out The oil
was burning all day yesterdays but little more
damage can be done, as the flames are now strictly
confined,

Clsmbake and a Merry Dance.
ON BOARD YACHT MADELEINE,
HUNTINGTON, L. l., Sept. 9, 1872.
Early rising appears to be one of the virtues pre-
dominant in the character of the Brooklyn yachts
men, as before the sun had risen above the hum
mock Of Long Island solitary gun from the nag
ship Madeleine sent forth the warning Of
AN EARLY START.
There was light southwesterly breeze, with the
| tide running ebb. The starting gun doomed forth
the signal to weigh anchor at five A. NJ, and the
feet were soon on their journey to Hunt
ington. The little Nettie B. was the
first to get away, followed closely by the
Meta Undine, Kate, Adde and Sophia. The
schooner Magic came next, followed by the W. B.
Asten, Madeleine and Alice. There was just suf-
fcent breeze to give steerage way, but after pass
ing Metinnick the fleet were nearly all becalmed.
The Fleur de Lis was out In the middle OF the
Sound, but, making tack In shore, she stayed in
the wake Of the Madeleine. The Alice quietly
passed the latter and went on after the Magic
passing the Nettie B., which presently dropped
back In company with the Fleur dc LIS After

Preserving Fruit.


AS the season is at hand for storing fruit
for winter, we venture to remind our rea-
ders of a process in use by the French for
keeping it sound. The conditions are dry
cellar, out of the reach of frost, and such a
contrivance as will induce a current of air
through the fruit A barrel perforated at
both ends and raised some inches from the
ground in dry cellar meets the require
ments. The philosophy of the process is in
preventing the sweating of the fruit which
induces decay, or, if ittakes place, to arrest
it speedily by the current of air. A sue
cession of shelves the whole extent of the
cellar wall, composed of laths, with spaces
between, and boxed in front, six inches
from the ground and six inches open at the
top, would substitute the perforated barrel
on a larger scale. The shelves are better
than the barrel, and for delicate fruit like
pears, which should not touch one another,
are indispensable. BY this means pears
may be kept till they come again. And so
of apples and sweet potatoes. With re-
spect to grapes, the experiments have not
been satisfactory. The French have tried
different modes of suspending the bunches
but without any uniformity of result. A
method of preserving grapes fresh and
sound is still desideratum.

DON'T Waste Soap.suds.

1t is well to have grape-vines planted so
that the waste liquids from the wash-house
can be used to fertilize them. If there is
any food the vine especially loves, it is the
soapy liquids which accumulate on wash
ing-days in families. Vines drenched every
week with these liquids will flourish as
tonishingly, and extend themselves SO as TO
cover large buildings, every branch bearing
fruit. A distinguished Ohio horticultural
says that his family of ten persons eat ton
OF grapes, fresh and canned, during the
year; and he thinks that not only does it
pay in the matter health, but also in the
saving of grocers bills through the dimin-
ished desire for pastries and other rich food.

Wire for Plastering.

A most ingenious device has recently
been patented for the use of wire in forming
plastering surface. The plan consists
not in tho use of any wire network ex-
pressly manufactured for the purpose, as
might be supposed, but simply in the fas-
tening of ordinary wire upon the posts, in
place of lath. The wire is passed from a
reel and drawn tightly in parallel horizontal
lines about half an inch apart 1t is at
tached to the standards by means of two
narrow strips of iron, one of which is nailed
to the post, and another fastened in the
same mannerupon the first, the wires being
held at equal distances apart between the
iron strips. 1t would naturally be supposed
that plastering applied upon this wire
would pass largely through, and fall off, but
this does not prove to be the case, and the
result of the device is a solid wall Of plas-
ter, through the middle of which the wires
extend, holding it firmly. The cost of this
plan is comparatively small, the work is
rendered easy, and the result is what the
inventor claimed for it-a wall surface
which is absolutely fire proof. The device
is already being adopted with much success.

Blood and Lime varnish.

The Chinese are said to make a varnish
by beating together fresh blood with quick
lime, which is extensively used as coat
ing for wooden articles which they wish to
make completely water-tight. Won Scher-
zer, who first introduced this substance to
the notice of Europeans, says he has seen
in Pekin wooden chests that had been var
nished with it, which, after a journey over
Siberia to st. Petersburg and back, were
still sound and perfectly water-tight. Even
baskets of straw, used for the transportation
of oil, are made fit for the purpose by
means of this varnish. Pasteboard coated
with it becomes, both in appearance and
firmness, like wood. Articles requiring to
be absolutely impervious are vanished
twice, or at the most three times, by the
Chinese. The preparation has been tested
in various ways both in Europe and Aus
tralia, and although it gives to vessels COW
cred with it rough, ugly red appearance,
its use is recommended as a sure means OF
making wood impervious to water.

Insu1.ance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1879, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud I
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is a well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Ina prize essay on the Sabbath, writ
ten by q journeyman printer in Scot
land, which for singular power OF
Language and beautG of expression
has never been surpassed, there oe-
ours the following beautiful passage.
Read it, and then reflect for 4 while
what dreary and desOlate page would
this life present IL the Sabbath were
blotted out of our calculation:
'sYOkefellow think how the alb
straction Of the Sabbath would hope
lessly enslave the working classes
with whom we are identified. Think
of labor going On in one mOnOtOnOus
and eternal cycle, limbs forever on
the rack, the fingers forever strain
ing, the brow forever sweating, the
feet forever plOddiDg, the brain for
ever thrOboing, the shoulders forever
dropping, the lOins forever aching,
and the restless mind forever schem-
ing.
Think Of the beauty il would efface,
the merry-heartedness it would ex-
tinguish, of the giant strength II
would tame, of the resources OF ma
ture ii would crush, of the sickness II
would breed, Of the projects it would
wreck, Of the groans it would extorti
Of the lives it would immediate, and oi
the cherries graves it would prema-
turely dig! See them toiing and
mOilfng, sweating and fretting, grind
ing and hewing, weaving and spin
ming, streWing and gathering, NOW
ing and reaping, razing and building
digging and planting, striving anC
struggling-in the garden and ia the
field, in the granary aud in the barn
in the factory and in the mill, in the
warehouse and in the shop, on the

Origin Orthe Queer Name Of an "Old
ReT0iutIOneF.'

The father Of Return J. Meigs was
born ct MiddletOWD, CT. In his youth
he loved and addressed a fair Quaker
ess OF MiddletOwn, whose home wss
very near his own residence. but
found much difficulty in obtaining
her hand, her objection resulting from
seetarian bias. She repeatedly an
swered his prOteststions Of fidelity
and attachment with:
Nay, Jonathan; 1 respect thee
much, but cannot marry thee for
better is 4 dinner Of herbs and con-
tentment, than q stalled OK and con-
tentiOn Herewith"
Ar. Meigs finally wesried wnh the
protitless suit, paid Ruth what be
meant should be his last visit as a
lover. He held her hand and blessed
her, and having told her that he hop
ed in time the wound In his heart
might be healed in happy alliance
with some other family, he spoke his
farewell. The kind and yet sOrrOwful
word, spoken with tender sOftness,
and with fearful eyes, fell upon her
heart with awakening power, and as
he vauIted to his saddle to ride away,
the fair Quakeress full of love and re-
lenting, beckOned to him with her
hand, at the same time calling out
Return, Jonathan, Return, JON
athan -
To him they were the sweetest
words that ever fell upon mortal ears.
He returned, and the day was speedi-
ly fixed for the celebration OF their
nuptials. The first child borne to
them WAS son, and the happy faith
er, in eOmmemOratiOn Of the blissful
words which had hidden him into his
earthly heaven, had him baptized
and ehristened ''Return Jonathan"
And the child thus euriOusly named
grew up to an important manhood.
Among the officers of the American
revolution he was one of the best and
bravest, and for his brilliant exploit
against tine British at Sag Harb0r be
received the thanks of Congress and a
sword. He was a warm friend and
supporter OF President Jefferson, by
whom he wasappOinted Indian Agent
for the CherOkees, among which peO-
pie lie passed the last Ofhis wei! spent
and useful life.
