varied learning and ability as Il writer. He
was the son OF Rev. DIR. Balch, one of the
founders of the Presbyterian church i'm George
concerning his eccentricitieS. The deceased
was for many years pastor OF the Bridgestreet
Presbyterian church here, and his lectures on
"reminiscences of Georgetown contain much
OF the earlier history OF this city.
A MEETING OF THE LIQUOR DEALERS ASSO
CATION was held last night at Goddard's Hall.
Mr. +. Il. Sullivan chairman, and Mr.. NJ. L.

GRAIN.-There are but few arrivals of grain
and but little demand for it, the prices ranging

deal of grain in the country being held for
war prices" and We are informed that about
and above Seneca there is large quantity of
yearbe fOre-laStS wheat, which has been held
for better prices. The farmers study the war
news now more than they do the bible, and
after all get but little satisfaction from it.

a fair this and tomorrow evenings over Mr..

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Ventilation Of Sewers,

is an important communication, Directing to
the ventilation of sewers through the rain
water spOutS OF dwellings. Similar objections
were expressed some twenty years ago by an
English engineer, and cannot DE too strongly
impressed upon the public mind. He said:
" As an experiment, carried mp lew RAIN,

having the stink i'm the streets. it was brought
close To the sleeping apartments of the houses,

on the level of the upper rooms OF houses

all the difficulties arising from sewer gases can
be overcome, and that the topography OF

The surest way to guard against the bad
effects OF the gases is to prevent their tOrna-

at least three-fOurthS OF the quantity that is
now formed, by prompt removal of the sew
age from the sewers by means OF flowing
water through them before fermentation of the
foul mass begins. B. ).
