WORTH KNowING.-All housekeepers
have some time realized the difficulty of
lighting fire in still, damp morning,
when the chimney will not draw, and
vigorous blowing proves Intellectual.
Science explains the trouble as "caused
by the difficulty encountered in over
coming the inertia of the long column
of air in the pipe or chimney by the
small column of air that can be forced
up through the interstices of wood and
coal, at the bottom of which the fire is
kindled." This may be remedied by
first lighting few bits of shavings or
paper placed upon the top; thus, by
the heated air forcing itself into the
chimney and establishing there an up
ward current, the room is kept free from
the gas or smoke which is SO apt to I'LL
the room, and thesfire can then be light
ed from below with good success.

MEETING OF BUSINESS MEN.-On Mon
day evening, twenty-five of the busi-
ness men Of Millersburg, met in Com
mercial Hall, for the purpose of organ
izing a "Men's Temperance League"
G. w. Everett, Esq, was called to the
chair. The object of the meeting was
stated to be the formation of a League
that would be auxiliary to the "Wo-
mems Temperance League" and that il
should accomplish work that the ladies
could not do. Another object Of the
association would be that of reaching
out, and extending the work beyond
the bounds of our town, by enlisting
men and women, in all parts of the
county in the interest Of temperance,
forming auxiliary societies in every
township and school district in the
county. Short speeches were made by
many of the gentlemen present, and
the work of organizing was heartily
entered into by all. A committee OF
three was then appointed, to draft a
constitution, and to nominate candidates
for permanent officers. The meeting
then adjourned to convene again on
Saturday evening for permanent organ
ization.

TvwprRkScE MovEMENT.-Sinceo our

in the interest of temperance. The Ia
dies hold their prayer meetings every
other day in the different churches.
They have not gone on the street for
the past week we believe. The Mass
Meeting Friday evening was well at
tended as usual. The meeting was
opened with prayer by the Rev. L. D.
Campbell, after which song was sung
bv a Quartet choir, entitled, "Water IS
bestr Mr.. James 81. Cowen then ad-
dressed the audience at some length,
touching upon some important points
in the consideration Of this question.
He reviewed the arguments Of those
who support the license question and
showed up the faliacy of such argu-
ments, and the Inconsistency Of such a
measure. He touched upon several in
teresting points in the course OF his re-
marks, and closed, leaning good I'm
pression upon his audience Mr.. Cowen
is avery ready speaker, and presents
his views in q clear manner. The choir
then sang a beautiful new women's
ralIving song entitled, "Glory to the
Lord on High," which was well re-
ceiyed. Mr.. d. S. Uhl was then called
upon for some remarks, but he SAID tnat
be had not thought of saying anything
that evening, and as it was growing
late, asked to be excused, for this once
as he had SO often addressed the meet
ing, and was ready to do so in the fu-
ture. Another song was sung, "Iouch
not the cup" after which the audience
was dismissed with benediction by
Rev. E. d. Campbell.
Another meeting will be held on next
Friday evening in the Hall. Arrange
ments for speakers are now being made.

THE LOCAL PAPER.-No city paper
can supply the place of local Journal
and no citizen who makes any preten-
tions to intelligence, can in justice to
himself and his family dispense with a
paper published in his own county.
Every issue of such journal imparts
much local information that is interest
ing, and often important-and in the
course of a year the amount OF such in
teIligence furnished by well conduc-
ted home paper is OF sufficient value 10
pay ten times over the pittance it costs
to procure it. 1t is information, too,
that it is not possible to procure through
any other source. 1t tells OF the occur
rences daily transpiring in your own
locality, among friends and acquaint-
ances, of the deaths and marriages, ac-
cidents and mishaps, sales and purchas-
es of real estate, proceedings OF the
courts, doings Of the various county
officials, corporations and other organi-
cations, accounts of public meetings of
all kinds, fairs, exhibitions, etc., reports
of home markets, business notices Of
all kinds-in short, faithful reflex of
the sayings and doings in the town and
county in which you are especially in
terested-rendering it an ever welcome
visitor to the family circle. Take as
many papers as you will, the more the
better, but do not neglect your home
journal. 1t is an indispensable neces-
sity in every well regulated household.

The British Army.

1t appears from Parliamentary pa
per just issued that in 1862 the British
land forces were at the highest numer-
ical strength, numbering total of 222,
$50 of all ranks : this force reached the
lowest ebb of $50, 444 in 1870, chiefly in
consequence of reductions in foreign
service. OF %, 426 men who enlisted
during the last year comprised in the
return in the United Kingdom, as many
as 10, 919 failed from various causes to
join the colors and it appears that in
the last five years included, the ratio of
deserters has increased fifty per cent.
Last year fines for drunkenness were
inflicted in 81, sol cases; that is, about
one fine to every four men, with an av-
erage of two fines for each offender. Of
the total strength in 1S72-namely,
1S2, 56S-the percentage qualified by
length of service and superior attain
ments for good-conduct badges was
sixty-fve. As regards height, the En-
glish soldiers contrast favorably with
the armies of the continent, the proper
tions below and above five feet seven
inches being AIS and 565 in the thou
sand men.
