‘The Farm and Household. he Farm and Household. Economy of the Honey Bee. As the greatest anxiety is found existing with apiarians, or bee keepers, “in respect to the safe wintering of - their bees, I propose giving about two, ~ articles on the proper ventilation of the bee hive for winter use. Now, ventilation means an arrangement to . admit the escape of foul air and at| / tife same time giving ingress to pure: ~air. | Then # order to the health of . “the bees, as well as that of human beings, there must be a circulation of .ar maintained in the hive, or in the dwelling, as.the nature of the case .may be; so, consequently, it ‘is evi: dent that we must, arrange for the ‘ingress and egress of the-atmosphere. . Now, as impure heated air is engen- ~ dered’in the hive from the respiration ~ and perspiration of the bees, and that -+ continually, both in cold and warm weather, consequently it i suggested at once and clearly to the mind of the intelligeni apiarian, that he must ar- - range spnde way for the escape of this : foul air, in order that it may. give . place to.the pure, fresh air that is constantly pressing in to fill its place; * for we must-ever bear in mind | that ~ nature will 'not admit of a vacuum, or empfy space. . Now that “the unphilosophical mind may perceive the . “idea (for 1 write for the benefit of those who may take an interestin the general subject of bees), 1 Will give & “simple example of illustration that you may bé able to see. moréi-glearly .- “both the prineiple and ‘the’ necessity of upward ventilation. . Takea’ cup ‘and rsag!cer, fill the latter half full of water; tarn the'cup bottom upward and place it in the saucer of watcr. Then light a small taper, raise the cup + at one side, place thetaper under/and let the cup down quickly. 'The wa- ~ tér will rush suddenly:into the cup, the air being forced out Ly the heat - under the edge of the cup, which is . contrary to nature, for it, is just as natural for theated air to rise as it.is

for water to run down hill, as is thus expressed in rhyme: “The fire expels the air in: the cup and external air

forces the wat(:erv up.” Now, the principle illustrated. byi this example, is

this: © When the: heat is introduced by the lighted taper, it instantly expels the air that was in the cup, and for the moment creates a vacuum, which nature will not allow tosexist, and therefore the water is immediately forced into the cup tosupply the place of the expelled air, and thus destroy thé vacuum. Now it is evident that had there been an orifiee in the ‘cup (upper venti‘lvation'), ,\Closgd for instance with a small movable valve, the heated air would naturally have escaped through this opéning. What appears manifest from. this example is the .proper construction of a beé hive, for this is the point we are driving at.” Our dwellings, churches, school-houses, etc., are ventilated -according to this principle, by the prop‘er arrangement of the windows, the lower sash to be raised up, which allows the ingress of pure air; the upper sash 'to- be lowered in order to allow the warm foul air-to escape,. thus giving free circulation ‘to,@he’nfimosphere, making it not only more agreeable but more healthy for the inmates, especially a crowded assembly, or if you please a colony or swarm of bees, which, being confined in the hive of nights during the thot season and months together during the cold season, must necessarily be provided with good and efficient upward ventilation. =~ G.S.RoGurs, M.

-PHILADELPHIA BUTTER.—All'have . .doubtless heard af the celebrated Phil: adelphia butter, the delicious'flavor of + which renders it a delicacy which, in ~_ marKets outside of its.place of manu- : facture,bringsprices which sometimes, ' ' range as high as $1 per;pound. How. * it is'made is told in a new. and. excel- \, lent little book, recently written by S Mr. X. A. Willard, editor of the dairy . department of Mooere’s Rural New Yorker, and entitled, “Willard’s Prac- -+ tical Butter Book.” On"the subject - of Philadelphia Butter, we tike from * ./its pages the following: “The celebrated Philadelphia . butter comes .» mainly from Chester, Lancaster and Delaware counties, Pennsylvania.— The spring house is about 18 x 34 feet; '~ built of stone, its foundations set - deeply in the hillside, the floor being . . about four feet below tle level of the iground at the downhill side.- The - tloor is of oak; laid on.sand ar gravel; = thishs flowed with spring water to the - depth _of ‘thrée inches, and-at this - ~height the flowing water passes: out - into a tank at the-lower side of the . spring house..

. A FAMOUS FRAUD. | History of the Chorpenning Claim—- - '+ A Barefaced Affair. = . .« A dispateh from Washington says that the Attorney-General has sent ‘his opinion on Chorpenning claim to the President. :The St. Paul PioneerPress gives the following account of ‘the case: The features of this famous caseé, in brief, are as follows: In 1851. «the firm of Chorpenning & Woodward, -of California, secured from the government the contract for carrying the mails from Salt Lake City to California. - This contract was three times renewed, making the entire term of service nine years. In November, 1851, Woodward :was killed. by the Indians, and Chorpenning thereafter performed the service alone. Under the variouscontracts the full amount of regular pay was, in round numbers, $150,000, but at various sessions of Congress, -and by various methods, this sum has already been.swelled, as additional allowance, to no less than $518,595.. Of the means employed in securing' this money; it is not worth. while to enter.into detail. It is sufficient to'say that the original allowances on the contracts were sufficient to. properly fulfill them- and have a _reasonable margin for profit, and all that has since been added may be set down as absolute gratuity.. Not sat+’ isied with this,” Chorpenning in 1870 renewed his demands,. and in July of that year Congress passed .and the President approved a resolution under which- Postmaster-General Cresswell awarded on this already vastly overpaid contract the further.sum of $443,000 making a grand total of ' " NEARLY'A MILLION DOLLARS. ¢ The resolution directed the Post-master-General tor “investigate and adjust the c]ainf‘s"of Gorge Chorpen- | ning under the first séction of an act l for his- relief, approved . March, 3, 1857,7 ete. . The act of 1857 referred to peremptorily instructed.the then | Postmaster-General, Hon. Aaron V. ‘ Brown, to adjust and. settle, not ac- | cording. to -the proof that might be had in the matter, but “as shown by 1 the proofs and atfidavits on file’in the ITouse of Representatives.”” . When it is considered that the only pfoofs and aflidavits on file-were those contained lin Chorpenning’s petition, the iniquity i of the whole.proceedin is at once. apparent. - Previous-to the passage of the resolution in 1870,Chorpenning had | importuned-four successive I’ostmas-ter-Generals -for a re-opening of the case, but by each been refused. : The ‘Tesolution of 1850 was brought before the House for consideration the last | day :of the session, without having been reported, and was passed during the last hours of the session.” At that session of 1872, and before- thé money ihad been paid, the resolutipn-was re“pealed, but appeared again at the last session on the private calender, bearing the approval of the judiciary committee whieh had reported a bill to the court of claims® jurisdiction in the matter.. The bill failed tobecome a law, and the claimant then appealed to the Attorney-General, before whom the case wasrargued at length a. short time ago, and from whom a decision is promised as above stated. o

. That Silly Girl. A ‘Mary Kerns, a - youm_% gir] about seventeen years of age whose parents reside near the depot of the P.,, I't. W. & C. Railroad in this place, received a complimentary ticket to the show on last Saturday. from. one of the showmen, and the kindhearted ‘individual after shiowing her around to see the animals, ete., introduced her to- his brother who was to take care of her and wait upon ‘her after the circus was out.. This last friend whose name she does not exactly remember took her to a hotel procured for her a room, ete. She says she did not keep his company en Saturday night, but on the following evening and night, and it was during this brief courtship that he promised to marry her the “next.morning,” and ot living up to his promises, Mary had her lover arrested and brought’ before Esquire Bitner on Tuesday afternoon. The case was tried, S. W. Cosand proséeuting and W. S. Marshall defending. The testimony elicited from the prosecuting - failed to make a ease in the opinion of the Court, and after the examination of a few witnesses, -the defendant whose namz was given as Carson, and residing at’ Milford, was discharged and the case dismissed.’So Mary was beat out of a husband, and; if she will learn by experience, that, striking matrimonial -alliancés with strangers on show days:is “not just the thing.”— Warsaw Union. e - > —— —f O B + "A Ferocious Butcher.’ _ Quite a sensation was créated in Huntington, -a short time since by a butcher named Milligan—a son of Col. Milligan, of that place. He had taken a litfle more whisky than was good for’him, and he became crazy. While in this condition he siezed a butcher knife, and rushing into. the- street commenced striking" right and left at every one within his reach. ‘Two’ ladies who were passing by in a carriage were attacked, but escaped .with a furious gash-through one of the curtains. ~ Two teams were next attacked, but escaped by rapid driving. A’ FFalk, a saloon-keeper was captured and forced fo repeat a prayer while under the fearful weapon. His last victim was'a man 1n ‘the employ of S. Buchanand & Co.named Coonley, who received a blow across the breast with the edge of the knife, and one blow across -the back of the wrist cutting everything clean to -the joint. The melee was of short duration, yet during the time he drove -everything before him until he was laid; out by the club of the city marshal.. Notwithstanding his fearful demonstrations and his known brutal character; strange as it ‘may seem, he was turned® out in a half-hour afterward on $3OO bail.” oo i i o

GENERAL BATE, who was Andrew Johnson’s competitor for the United States Senate, will probably succeed him in that body. The Confederate Democratic party gets recruited rapidly in. Congress from their old rebel allies.—Dayton Journ@l. - . It is, perhaps, very unfortunate, but it so happens, that nearly every intelligent, honest man in the South went with " his people into the rebellion. The men .in the South who are fitted by education, cultivation and brains to fill the place of leaders are for the most part Ex-Confederates. . The ‘people of the Seuth went into rebellion and have been forgiven. 'lt is ‘natural that they should select as repy resentative men the men %vho have ‘always represented them. The Jowrnal i% "'doubtless: very much hurt: that Northern adventurers and scalawags are not sent to ‘@ongress from the old Confederate States, but in the nature of things it is hardly to be expected. It is noteworthy thatup to this time no man has been sent to . Congress from the South who has not shown a conservative disposition and who has not, demonstrated in every act that he aceepted;the results of the war.—Cincinnati Enquirer. = s :

The Baltimore Gazette (democratic) is of thé opinion that a Democratic victory in Ohio: this fall will be a sure presage of the defeat of the Democracy in the national contest next year. It says the success of the inflationists there. will give themr the impression that the rag-money heresy is endorsed by the people generally, and they will insist npon its- incorporation into the national - platform, ‘and so rush the party ‘on to ruin as surely as it was done in 1868. It further predicts that if the party -is beaten in that State this fall it- will be the result of the action of thinking Democrats who will compass that end for the good of

' : - Simultaneously with the reception of favorable crop news from all parts ‘of the country, comes the report that the wheat crep abroad is very slight. There has been already a large advance in the price of wheat within-a couple of months. Here is something of which our' farmers can take ad“vantage.

A suit has been'begun in the Unitéd States Court in the western district of Missouri by the heirs of Don Joseph Valliere, a captain of.a Spanish regiment stationed at the post of Arkan§4s in. 1793, who elaim six millions of acres of land in Arkansas and western Missouri worth $15,000,000. The claim is based upen a grant made by the Spanish “provincial government, June 11, 1793 which appears to be duly recorded in the royal archieves.

The Democrats of Ohio should ponder upon this utterance from the l.ouisville Couricr - Jowrnel: =~ *“‘More greenbacks’ to-day mean ‘more greenbacks to-morrow, to the old end—repudiation. Rag money is ruin; ruin to every moral and political interest; ruin to all-industries; ruin alike to the rich man and the poor; disturbing and disarranging all things; keeping the people ‘in ‘a perpgtual muss and muddle; opening the way for the basest men to seek by the basest means the basest objects.” i * The Rev. John S. Glendenning, of Jersey City, is in trouble again; this time he.is’ accused of nothing more grievous than falsehood. Having told the members of'his congregation that he had received a call from an Allentown Church at 2,000 salary, but had refused it, one of the elders made ‘inquiries; and ascertained that his pastor had received no such a call. The elder boldly pronounced ‘Glendenning a falsifier, and the church, having scarcely recovered from last vear’'s great misfortune, is again in hot water. o

. Wé recently spoke of an effort being made to establish-a fast mail train from New York to Chicago to run over the ILake Shore road. The arrangements have been completed and the train will commence running on the Ist ofsOctober. Mail cars sufficient to carry 35 tons of mail matter are being constructed especially for this train, and the time between New York and Chicago will: be 26 hours, with % probable reduction to 24 hours. That will annihilate space in.a very satisfactory manner to the commer‘cial and reading public. :

A nut for the inflationists to- crack. Before the war, the volume of currency in circulation in this country, including gold, ‘was only $350,000,000, equal for each man, woman and child to $11.30. To-day the volume of circulation without including the gold in bank and Government vaults, but includihg the gold currency of Californid, where paper money doesn’t circulate, is $825,000,000, equal to $18.75 for each man, woman and child. This shows most unmistakably that there is no necessity for an increase of paper money.—Cleveland Leader. |

. Sometime during the month of May last, ‘a respectable white lady, living near Tuka, Mississipi, was brutally out-raged-and beaten by a negro by the name of Thompson. = He escaped ‘at tlie time, but was Tecently arrested, tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. During the night after his sentence, however, herwas taken from the jail By a mob and hanged. Whenthe proper time comes this will be heralded abroad by the Rebublican papers, no doubt, as an instance of the barbarous outrages and slaughter committed upon the poor innocent Republican negroes by the White. KuKlux and banditti of the South. »

Over a considerable portion of four Statés—the .most important ‘in the Union—Ohio, Indiana,. Illinois and Missouri, the late unprecedented:rains have done intalculable .«damage. The wheat crop hasbeen largely destroyed, owing -to inability ‘to gather and secure it. - It has, by rendering it impossible to plow and till the ground, keeping it free from weeds, reduced the:-corn crop largely below -the average. Thousands of acres in the vicinity of rivers and creeks have beéen overflowed .and entirely destroyed.— Grass,. like wheat, has been largely injured. Oats have been destroyed by the ravages of the army worm in addition to the effects of the rain. Potatoes are rotting in the hills.’ Tomatoes and other vegetables are not ripening. This ' any one can say without being considered a croaker. ; d .

. The reports from the government Black Hills expedition speak more favorably of the fine grazing and farming lands than of the mineral wealth which has been discovered. Professor Jenney pronounces the country magnificent. The grass and timber are very fine. The miners who'have examined the quartz ledges and gulches. for gold do not appear to be very enthusiastic over their discoveries. The average opinion of all parties appears to be that, while minning may prove profitable.in certain localities of limited extent, as & business it will not do to rely upon. Theminers are rapidly pouring into the country, and as yet hate been unmolested by the Indians, upon whose rights and reservation they are undoubted trespassegs.

Mg. PENDLETON i 8 for inaction in regard to the currency, in justice to the debtor and *“the true interests of labor”! Which is worth- most to the laboring man, the gold piece or the greenback “spieler”?. Which will pay most debts, greenbacks or the world’s money? The farmers of Ohio produce $250,000,000 worth of agricultural productions every year, and all this they must sell at the' low gold prices imposed by a foreign market in a currency that-yields them eightyfive eents on the dollar. Their farms, ete, are worth $1,075,000,000. Suppose that they owe. $200,000,000 in mortgages (which they do not), and have five years to pay their mortgages in. Then, in‘paying their debtors in the present depreciated paper, the farmers, at best can only gain 12 per cent. of $200,000,000; while, in selling their crops, they lose 12 per cent. of $1,250,000,000. Gain to the farmerclass in_five years by Mr. Pendleton’s greenback policy, $24,000,000; loss in five years, $150,000,000; net loss to farmers by Mr. Pendleton’s I%e‘enbagk -.i policy, $126,000,000—N. ¥, World, .

A very intelligent old darkey was met by an ante-bellum friend the other day for the first time since the war, and the old man’s delight at seeing one of Massa’s tickler friends in old. times was unbounded.

It destroyed and uprooted trees in: its course, carried away sidewalks, barns and small buildings, unroofed the large Methodist Church and carried away the steeple and the west half of the strueture.

*The Charlestown Courier says: ExPresident Johnson’s death will be regretted by none more deeply.than by the insurance companies. He was a believer in life insurance, and illustrated his faith by his acts to an extent that is rare indeed, even now-a-days. . The aggregate of the policies on his life is no less than $350,000. His happy heirs can well afford to say no more about that little pile of $70,000 which the ex-President lost by the bankruptcy of Jay Cooke’s bank.

Emlorsements ot the People’s Rem- : edy. ! ' ‘

~ When skilled and c%;lti(}fls medical men give over their own signatures a favorable opinion of the soothing and vitalizing effects of a preparation, the public does not hesitate to believe them. The voluminous and emphatic profesgional testimony in favor of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, as a specific for all disorders of the stomach and bowels, for liver complaint, intermittent fevers, and a thousand ills that wait upon dyspepsia, must convince the most skeptical. Aside, however, from the testimony of the faculty, there is a large mass of evidence fromy patients in every walk of life, all showing that this great preventive and restorative is of inestimable value to the sick and the debilitated. The Bitters are suited to all elimates, and are universally endorsed as a. preventive of disorders caused by miasma and impure water. 15-4 t

A Simple Cure for Drunkenness.

At a festival at a reformatory institution recently a gentleman said of the cure of 'the use of intoxicating drinks: “I overcamé the appetite by a receipe given to me by old Dr. Hatfield, one of those good old physicians who do not have a percentage with a neighboring druggist.
