Burning out ChInineys.

Chimneys should be attended to every
autumn, if we would avoid their taking
fire. Many valuable homestead has been
destroyed from negligence in this matter.
SCOT accumulates very rapidly, and should
be either cleaned out, or burned out on
some rainy day, when sparks or cinders
will not ignite thereof If a chimney takes
fire the readiest means to stop it is to apply
a wet table cloth or blanket to whole front
Of the fireplace, and either hold or pin it
close into the jamb, then lift up the bot
tom far enough to throw pail Of water ON
the fire. This will create cloud of steam
which will reduce, II it does not extinguish
the fire. If pistol is fired up a chimney
it will bring down quantities of SCOT, and IL
is an easy way TO clean small chimney.
A few handsfull of salt thrown into the
fireplace or the crate will put out fires.
Flour or sulphur thrown upon the fire will
also paralyze the flames.

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1872, 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 a 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
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.

Isn't IL True I?

When an enterprising man buys run
down, neglected farm, with rickerty and di-
lapidated buildings, and at once proceeds
to improve it clears up the unslightly fence
corners, drains the wet land, pulls out the
stumps or rocks, moves the barn to the
back of the house and sets the new house a
little distance back of the highway, lays
out lawn with pleasant walks and shade
trees and hedges, brings blooded stock
with him, and causes his acres to produce
three-fold more than ever before, what
man SO stupid as not to recognize that is
pecuniary gain to the neighborhood9 No
matter how selfish the owner may be at
heart if he makes his farm more valuable,
he does the same, to some extent, to all
around him. The neighbors like to see
handsome farm near them, even if they
never think of selling, and when they do
try to sell, the prospective buyer will in
variably have his attention called to the
handsome property over the way, or which
adjoins, or at least is not far off Specu-
lators holding unimproved lands like moth
ing so we'll as to be able to say because
nothing is more potent that it lies in the
very best of neighborhoods, is surrounded
by rich farm in the highest state of culture,
in delightful regionof walks and drives;
that the people are intelligent, and their
tastes refined; that schools and churches
abound and that the value of the land has
been proved by the extraordinary yield of
crops on the adjacent farms When these
things can be said truthfully, sales are
comparatively easy, and that at the high
est prices.
Does not every enterprising farmer see,
then--as well as those who are not farmers
that there is a money value in intelli-
gence, and that the rapidity Of its spread
concerns them very closely? Improvements
on ones own place are well, wise and adj
mirable; but SO are improvements around
you. There should be, then, no neglect Of
the means. Every agency which will pro
mote farm intelligence should be employed
and kept up.

Honey by the Ton.

In Los Angeles County, on the eastern
slope of the San Francisco range of noun
tains, and in the immediate vicinity of the
Leaning Petroleum Company's oil region,
there is the most wonderful coll ection of
wild honey in existence The hive is To-
Gated in rift, which penetrates the rock
to the depth, probably, of 100 feet The
orifice is thirty feet long and seventeen
feet wide; four passages. The rift was dis
covered to be the abiding place of swarm
of bees that is represented as coming out in
a nearly solid column one foot in diameter.
Certain parties have endeavored to descend
to the immense store of honey collected by
these bees, but were invariably driven back
and one man lost his life in the effort
Others have, at the expense of much labor
and money, built scaffold 1876 feet high
in the hope of reaching place whence
they could run drift into the rock and
extract its well-hoarded sweets, but finally
ceased their work. Within four years the
bees have added not less than fifteen feet
Of depth to their treasure, as ascertained
by actual measurement, and it is thought
that at the present time there cannot be
less than eight or ten tons of honey in the
rock. A man named d. Brophy lives in
a cabin not far from the spot, and obtained
from the melting of the honey by the SUMS
heat more than enough for his family re-
quirements. All through that region i'm
mense stores of wild honey are found in
trees, in the rocks, in nearly every place
where its industrious manufacturers think
,of-for bees seem to think-that it is secure.
They consume a very small proportion, as
the climate enables them to keep up op-
erations near every day in the year, and
flowers of some sort are always in bloom.
1t must be very severe season indeed
when the little fellows are not seen abroad
in vast numbers, busily engaged in their
mellifuous work.

what win Take the Scent Ont.

Sitting on the piazza of the Cataract,
was ayoung, foppisb-looking gentleman,
his garments very highly scented with a
mingled odor of musk and cologne. A sol
emn-faced odd-looking man, after passing
the dandy several times, with a look of
aversion which drew general notice, sud-
denly stopped, and in confidential tone
said
g stranger, know what'll take that scent
out of your clothes; you"
"What what do you mean, sir?' said
the exquisite, g fired with indgnation,"
starting from his chair.
"Oh, get mad, now-swear, pitch round

But / tell you do know what'll take out

At this instant there went up from the
crowd a simultaneous roar of merriment,
and the dandy very sensibly cleared the

A Puzzled Justice.

There was once a very illiterate gentle
man--one Peter Patterson-appointed as
justice of the peace. The first day his clerk
handed him duplicate writ.
"Well, what shall 1 do with it ?" was
his query.
" Nothing but sign your initials" was
the reply.
"My nishuaIs-what are they?" {. Why

Cold persperation stood on the forehead
of the unhappy magistrate, as he seized a
pen with desperation in his face wrote
" Too Peze."

citizen may not sell his crop where he
pleases and as he pleases? Yes, if you are
going to perpetuate this anti-Republican
system of taxation, you must, in order
that the manufacturer of tobacco may be
able to pay his taxes, provide that the farm
ers shall not sell manufactured tobacco
to those who may smoke or chew it. The
bill requires every ignorant freeman who
may raise hundred pounds of tobacco,
and who may have the opportunity to sell
it for direct consumption, to forego his
chance and sell it to licensed manufac-
turer or dealer in leaf tobacco, or to run
the risk of losing every pound he may have
raised.
Now, if the minority bill shall be brought
up for consideration, it will be fairly pre-
sumable that we intend to get rid
of this system of taxation in the
course of few years, and we
may strike out these clauses which define
the persons to whom a man may sell his
tobacco and the form in which it may be
sold.
Sumptuary laws! Talk no more of Con-
necticut blue laws, you Democrats who be-
live in regulating how much tobacco man
may sell to unlicensed purchasers, and in
what form it may be sold to citizens who
would smoke or chew it as it came from
nature. When you shall declare that such
provisions are to be perpetual in our laws,
you will have eclipsed all that has seemed
odious in the alleged blue laws of Connecti-
cut.
Again, to insure the collection of the
taxes imposed on the dealer in leaf tobacco
and the manufacturer Of tobacco, the
peddler must be compelled to put in
large letters on both sides Of his
wagon "tobacco for sale," and he must
carry his license to deal in this prescribed
staple of our country wherever he may go.
And, sir, should one cunning and dishonest
detective pick his pocket of his license, an
other can demand its production, and if the
peddler cannot show what has been stolen
from him, his pack, his mule, his horse, his
wagon, his stock may all be forfeited and
sold. They will all go because he cannot
produce his license, though he be hundreds
of miles from home and from the office of
the collector to whom he paid his tax, and
show that he has bought and paid for the
privilege of exchanging his goods for tobacco
with farmers, or Of exchanging tobacco
with them for their money or wool or other
farm product.
