The SUBTERRANEAN Fire BENEATH
P1T1sBuRa.-A subterranean fire is
raging in the portion of Pittsburg
known as Herron's Hill, which
threatens serious consequences to
about 500 acres of improved pro-
perty. In digging out for Thirty
third street against the bank, some
three or four months ago, the work
men discovered q strata of the coal
which is SO plenty in TINT city. In
order to warm coffee for their
lunches they discovered this to be
just the place, and accordingly Lit
fires at the mouth. Gradually this
slight blaze has developed itself till
now it is q perfect volcano, whose
ominous roaring can easily be heard
by persons travelling over the sur
face. No efforts have been made
to extinguish this blaze, and now it
is spreading fearfully fast, cndan-
gering life and property. Hcrron's
Hill is the highest point in Allie
ghany County, and Oh it's summit
is located one of tho water rescr-
voirs, which has been but lately
erected. Water was recently put
in it, but it leaked out. Lately,
however, it was found that this
wator did not pass ont altogether
from leaks, but that portion has
evaporated in steam, caused by the
immense fire raging below. There
is danger of this work caving i'll,
and, should it go, the flames will
receive additional draught, md will
thus be the harder to subdue, and
have tendency of spreading the
fire still further The ultimate re-
suit of this subterranean fire can
hardly be told at present. Millions
Of improved property lie Oh the
hill and in close proximity to these
burning mines, and should my set
ting of earth occur at any point,
tho result would be most disas-
trous. Efforts will be made to con-
quer the flames by sapping and
mining, but it will tako months,
and perhaps years, to cxtinguish
this mass Of burning coal, much of
which is burning hundreds of feet
below the surface.
The people of Bridgeport, Conn,
ere also III stew. They fcnr they
will be burned before their rcgu-
lar time. Under portion of the
city are immense peat deposits. by
reason of continued dry weather
these beds have become Like tindcr,
have taken fire and every effort to
cxtinguish them has thus far proved
fruitless. The fire does not extend
TO the surface of the ground, but is
confined to the peat stratum ex-
clusively, which lies three OF four
feet below the surface. AS this
layer of combustible material is
consumed, the soil above drops
down into it's place.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE. The follow
ing i'll relation to newspaper post
age is of general interest. At the
last session of Congress the subject
Of postage on newspapers and pc
riodicals was taken into consitlcra-
tion by that body, resulting in the
passage of bill compelling adj
vance payment of postage, and fix
ing the rate at two cents per pound
on all that class of matter published
once q week, or more frequently,
and transmitted to regular sub
scribers through the mails, and
three cents per pound on such mat
ter issued less frequently than once
q week. The provisions of this law
ere to go into effect January 1,
1875. The Postmaster & Gcncral be-
ing by law confined to choice of
one of three modes of collecting
The postage by means of stamps,
considerable attention has been
gwen to the matter by this office;
and, after q careful review of the
plans proposed, it was deemed best

disgust and contempt toward its per-
petrator. Begin their education early
enough. Horses, dogs, other animals

Those duties must be performed and en-
forced; but when we can get those du-
ties better performed by education and
kindness than by force and fear, interest
alone should induce US to adopt the
former mode.
No man of sense conversant with
horses will deny that where the general

LOng.Legged Horses.

For most everyday purposes short
legged horses are In general preferred
because in themselves they indicate
superior strength and because by nature
they are associated with depth of chest
and carcass, and other signs of stamina
and durability; but the long leg possesses
advantages in stride and leverage, and
therefore, where speed is required, be-
comes desirable formation The length
of limb must very much depend on
the purpose the animal is destined for
long leg would be as i'll adapted for a
cart-horse, as short one would be for a
racer. To get over the ground length
becomes absolutely necessary in the pro.
polling parts of the machine, and these
are the loins and the limbs. Occasionally
we meet with horses with long limbs and
short bodies; but such are rare and I'M
desirable conformations-the limbs doing
too much for The body, or, father, the
latter restricting them in their action
People in general make objection to
horses with undue length of limb; such a
horse has too much daylight underneath
him TO be good for anything" is a COM
mon expression enough in these cases,
and, 3)riBlH ftcie-and in nine cases, per-
haps, out of ten-thcse people are correct

and then comes horse before us with

binary power in his long limbs. with circu
iarity in his chest though it be not deep,
and with the known character of being
I" "a good feeder after work ;" and when
such horse does present himself, we
may, should he possess breeding, regard
him, Notwithstanding his long legs and
light body, as an animal of rare and
valuable description. His legs, having
but little to carry, are therefore likely to
" wear well" and he is likely to prove a
fleet horse, and withal good-winded
horse-one that is likely to turn out a
most valuable acquisition One ought
not hastily TO reject horse with long
limbs and their ordinary accompaniment

LORD kINNAIRD, in the course of a
long letter to Il contemporary regarding
the ventilation of dwelling houses, says :
People imagine that as foul air is light
1t Is only necessary to open hole IN the
ceiling or open window at the top to
allow it to escape, and are surprised
when these openings are closed by the
inmates to feel cold air beating down on
their heads. The fact is that the foul
air emitted from the lungs of the occu-
pants OF Il room ascends while warm,
but when cold il falls to the ground.
Anyone taking ladder and going to the
top OF room where "a number of people
are sitting would find the vitated air
unbearable. A bird could not live long
IN 1t. When there is fireplace in a
room the foul air first ascends, and then
when it gets cold desCends, and is then
drawn up the chimney, so that a person
sitting near the fireplace inhales this bad
air. The remedy is TO take off the witt
ated air at the ceiling by a syphon acting
on the reverse system of water syphon.
Where there is no fireplace in a room the
case is serious indeed. We found that a
bird placed on the floor of such a room,
where two people slept, was dead in the
morning. Were not our ancestors wise
IN having high bedsteads, and they were
higher than the iron bedsteads now com
monty used. Shakedowns" are there
fore most injurious to health. The great
difficulty in ventilation is to make the
air move. One plan may be seen carried
out on large scale in the Houses of
Parliament, y huge furnace at the top
of the house, kept constantly burning,
draws its life from the Houses, libraries,
dining room, tearooms, committee rooms
and kitchen of the Palace of Westmin-
ster, and such is its power that burnt
pieces of paper have been drawn from
the Victoria Station to the Palace. The
real difficulty is the supplying of fresh
air to I'LL up the vacuum, which in our
dwellings is drawn from the window
sashes, and doors and key holes.
