Channels were completed through the
Fredericksburg and Spotswood bars to a
width Of seventy feet and depth of eight
feet at low water, which were afterwards
widened to 100 feet, when funds became
available from the appropriation of June 10,
1872. Several wrecks have also been removed
near the city of Fredericksburg, which were
hurtful in their effects. Dykes have been
built TO contract the waterway near the
dredged channelat Fredericksburg, and to
retain the material removed by the eXcaVa.
ting.macbines. An unusually injurious freshet
occurred in May, 1873, causing considerable
deposition In the channel. Proposals have
been invited for restoring depth Of eight
feet, which is deemed sufficient for the ex-
isling commerce on the river. The amount
required for the next year is 81 800. Il

Novel Explosion.

Mr.. George W. Strong, living at Lo-
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since,
new cook stove After it had been in
use few days, Mrs. S. kindled fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about leav-
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &c, about
the room promiscuously, and creating
great sensation in the neighborhood, but
luckily, doing no further damage
1t was afterward aseertained that the
explosion was caused by powder which
had been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr.. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove, with the result
above stated.
Mr.. S. states that the stove is re-
markably heavy and strong one. If it
had been one of the light stoves, now in
common use, the consequence might
have been very serious.
The name of this stove is the ''Sensa-
tion," said to be the best in use, and sold
exclusively by G. H. Stafford, Somerset,
Ohio,

Pra ctical hints to teachers on venti-
lation, temperature, fires, sweeping and
dusting of school rooms.
1st. During the season Of fires, watch
the thermometer and keep it between 64
and 20 until half hour or so before
dismissal :tirne, when it may run
down to so so as not to chill the scholars
by passing from a very warm room into
the open air.
2nd. Keep diary during the winter
showing the temperature of the room at
the opening, middle and close of each
session.
3rd. At all seasons, the windows and
doors should be thrown wide open for a
few minutes during each recess.
4th At the close of school, all the
doors and windows should be thrown
open to admit fresh air during the noon
time recess, or at night.
9TH. Let down the upper sashes, in
winter, an inch or so during the night,
except in extreme cold weather.
9th. Two or more of the upper sashes
should be drawn down few inches af-
ter the end of the first half hour of
school, and again for few minutes at
the end of every half hour.
Attention to the above will give an
air of cheerfulness to the scholars, guard
against languor, and aid the mental
powers of the school.
9TH. If the thermometer gets as low
down as As be sure and fire up the tenn
perature, and never open school until
you have temperature of so degrees.
8th. Don't forget. to supply fresh wa
ter to the evaporating pan three times
daily and keep it clean and neat.
9th. Sweeping and industry should be
taught to the scholars as an art worth
practicing.

AT THE GARDEN GATE.

Somebody came to the garden gate,
While q soft hand trimmed the flowers
Anda blackbird piped to his listening mate
In n language as rich as ours.
Somebody blushed at the garden gate
A blush it was fair to see:
And the sly sun peered as he fain would wait,
And the blackbird paused on the tree.
Somebody spoke at the garden gate,
As the shadows began to fall
And the rose looked up, though the hour was
late,
And the peach blushed pink on the wall.
A sweet head fell at the garden gate
On an arm that was strong and true;
And chirrup of lips was heard to state
What words refused to do.
