The elitor of an Eastern paper says
that a wash composed of lime, salt
and fine sand, or wood ashes put
on the ordinary way of white
washing, renders the roof fifty-fold
more safe against taking fire from
falling cinders, or otherwise in case
of fire in the vicinity. 1t pays the
expense a hundred fold in its preserv-
ing influences against the effect of the
weather. The olden and more
weather. beaten the shingles are. the
more benefit derived such shingles
are generally more or less warped,
rough and cracked. The application
of the wash, by wetting the upper
surface, restores them at once to
their original or first form, thereby
closing the space between the shin
giles, and the lime and sand, by filling
up the cracks and spots in the shin
gle itself, prevent its warping for
years, if not forever.

A Methodist clergyman in Wiscon-
sin, Rev. J. E, Irish, has just venti-
lated the disagreeable fact that nine
tenths of the married people in that
State are not properly married at all.
A Wisconsin law declares that cler-
gymen, before being authorized to
perform the marriage ceremony,
must file copy of their credentials
of ordination with the clerk of court
in some one of the counties of the
State and Mr.. Irish has been proved
to be correct in his assertion that a
great majority of them have never
complied with this regulation, of
which they seem to have no knOwl-
edge. In the eyes of the law, mar
riages solemnized by them haye no
legal sanction, and the consequences
may be very serious as regards in
heritances and the ownership of prop
erty. Persons now living in matri-
mony may, of course, be legally join
ed again if they have any doubt of
the legality of the former ceremony {;

The impression that the northeast
ern coast of the American Continent
is slowly rising-the estimate of the
rate of emergency in progress being
over foot, and perhaps as much rs
three feet, in century-has recently
been controverted by eminent scien-
tific authorities, including DR.. Nit.
chel, of the Coast Survey, who states
that the salt marshes are still as they
were in the time of the early explor-
ers, at ordinary high water level,
and that the rocks on our coast, long
notorious as dangerous to navigation,
have not risen since they were first
discovered. But eastward of longi-
tude So l3/, and especially in New
foundland, great changes present
themselves, the depth appearing to
be at some points less and at other
points greater now than formerly.

For long time there has been q

Aud renewal is now being made of
the effort to effect a cha rye in this
matter. Two Bills to that end have
been introduced in the Senate on this
subject. One by Senator Steiner,
similar to those he has unsuccessfully
striven to pilot through, ever since
lis first appearance in the Senate, in
which the choice of School Commits
sioners is entrusted to the people as
the proper authority, because they
are most interested in the skill ,jutlg

are to conduct our Schools. The
other by S. major Parsons, which
p aces the appointment of School
Commissioners in the hands of the
Governor. These Bills were both re-
ported unfavorably upon by the
Committee on Education, upon the
10th instant, aud the motion to sub
s1itute one or the other for the re-
ports upon them is to be discussed
in the Senate, on Thursday, 28th

the hands of the people. This is the
plan adopted in States where the
common schools flourish most salts

in securing first class men to fill these

take place in the mode of appoint

this plan. although it might even be

rather than leave it where it has been
