Az yet We are unable TO announce the
names of those Of our enterprising citi-
1ens who have concluded to embark in
the paying business of manufacturing
crockery ware at this place; or those
who, feeling that planning mill would
pay, have determined to. judiciously
invest some of their loose greenbacks in
an establishment of that kind. Some
folks are amazingly dull of apprehen-
sion and poor of sight, and never see
anything until somebody else has laid
a hand oil it and secured it, and then
they go about saying that they "knowed
all the time that it was there, but think
it devilish funny they couldn't see it, till
its too late'

EDITOR Press: / notice in your is
sue of Friday last, an article IN the re-
gard to the old gong Now in reply, l
will just say any one who has any mon
ey in the bell that he can get it with
interest by calling at the American
House. In regard to the gong making
too much noise; it suits me, and / have
yet to hear any complaints from my
guests as to the noise, or the amount
and kind that they get to eat. Perhaps,
if some of them would pay me for
what they have eaten, and among the
balance, the writer of the article in last
weeks issue, l should have moremoney
to day than I have, but 1 thank the
Lord that have always had plenty
which is more, from all accounts, than
my friend has had who has taken such
an interest in attending to my business
The bell was bought at the sugges,
ton Of some of my guests in mere
matter of sport, and I think they con.
tributed eighty cents.
Now I woul1 advise my friend to try
and pay for some Of the grub that he
eat some three years ago, and which he
was called to by the sound of the sam'
old gong which he complains so much o
now. But suppose he would taxi
some of the old mince pies at the sam'
price.
In conclusion, would say that if h
will call and pay that little balance tha
he owes me, l will make him a presen
of the old gong. OLD. GONG,

Drainage Of Houses.

In the older parts of London, the house
drains form direct fue connection from
sewer TO house, and at all times when the
temperature within is above that without,
there is an inward flow of sewage gas to the
house through closet, sink, and drain, and
probably not one percent of these houses have
full external ventilation of their drains.
There are flap and syphon traps on drains,
but traps Of any sort are delusion and
snare, as is proved by the presence of sewer
gas in Easements and water-closets, and as
was shown when carbolic acid was used in
certain sewers as disinfectant,- the peculiar
faint was found in all the houses, The
remedy for this defective and injurious state
of things may be simple and ought to be easy
of accomplishment.
No new house should be drained but under
the supervision of public offlcer-parish sur
Neyor in London-all drains from sewer to
house should have full means for ventilation
outside the external wall, and at this point
the line OF pipe (if earthern ware is used) or
line Of drain (if brick drain is used) should be
brOken-that is, the drain should end at the
outer wall in the ventating shaft on the
house side and begin at lower level in the
same ventilating shaft on the sewer side.
There may then be syphons or flap over
the open ends OF the drain to shut out rats |:
but any sewer gas will escape at the ventilat-
ing shaft, and this may be carried away by a
drain pipe or stack pipe and if required pass
through charcoal into open air.
The main sewers OF the metropolis are now
rudely ventilated direct from sewer to street
surface i'm thousands of instances, and il is
this and the abolition of cespools, which have
given London the lowest rate of mortality of
any great city in the world. Ifevery house
drain were properly connected, and also fully
ventilated as indicated, the improvement Of
health would be still greater though not per-
feet.
