Atter re- viewing the action taken by the board on a former occasion in relation to the Holmead burying-ground, their recommendation to the District Legisiature, and the indifference shown by that body, he rehearsed in brief the history of burying-grounds in other countries and the | manner of burying the dead; suggested what the topography of cemeteries and their location | hear cities should be to meet the sanitary reqaire- ments, and in con-:lasion submitted resolutions: 1. “That the Holmead cemetery being full be- yond its capacity, having bodies therein buried only two and a halt feet below the surface, its grounds so undrained that in certain plac | ter is reached at the depth of only three or ic feet, its percolating water running through @ populous portion of the city, its immediate neighborbood well filled with inhabited dwel- lings, is a nuisance injurious to health; and that the Board of Health demands from its trustees | | the removal of the bodies interred therein at the earliest period consistent with a work of such magnitude; that the removal of the dead be done ander the supervision of the health officer, and that the grounds now occupied by said cemetery be not used for building dwei- lings un‘il properly inapected and analyzed by the officers of health.” 2. “That the health officer be instructed to inspect the cemeteries in i around the city, report as to their condition, their topography, and their drain- | age, and if any may be considered as dangerous to the health of the peopte.’” . Marbury doubted the anthority of the board to demand the removal of the bodies in Holmead cemetery. There was no doubt as to its be a nuisance, he thought that they had no right todo anything more than request their removal. to ao it would require legislative action. The first resolution was reverted to the com- mittee on ordinances, and the latter adopted. Applications for positions under the board | were received from Messrs. F. S. Mechlin and | Edward Allen; which were ordered to be placed | on file. Communications were receive from the health boards of *Boston an! Louisville, and from Professor J. L.

He puta saucer of alchohol on the stove and touched a match to the liquid ‘While it was blazing he took hold of the saucer to carry it to the bed for the purpose of advanc- ing some operation calculated to obliterate the tooth-ache, when, not making the proper calcu- lation of the temperature of the saucer, he ‘was obliged to let go of it with some precipita- tion. It may be necessary to state here that, the parent in his anxiety to relieve nis offspring ‘ad omitted an elaborate toilet, and was moy- ing about in a primitive attire—consisting wholly of a very short shirt. The moment the saucer dropped the burning liquid spurted from the dish, and catching hold of the capil- Nary substance on the legs of our friend, mount- agt. do. ed up his body likes flash of lightning, and reaching his very luxuriant whiskers almost in- stantancously, burst out intoa cloud of tiame, and instantly dicappeared.

A special despatch to the Philadelphia Press from Pottsville, Pa., January %, says: The committees of the operators and miners met in joint session in the office of the Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company, at thix place, this morning at 10 o'clock, to deliberate upon the question of the basis for 18:4. Mr. B. B. Gowen submitted the following propositions usting wages for this year: First. The basis to be exactly the same in all respects as that of 1873, with the exception that when the price of coal at Port Carbon shall be less than $2.50 per ton, the rate of wages shall decline at the rate of one per cent. for every three cents decline in price below 250 until $225 is reached, when the sum of $2.25 shall be the minimam for 1874. Second. The monthly prices at Port Carbon to be ascer- tained in the same manner as they were in 1875. Mr. Gowen supported this pro} ition with some roost plausible arguments, alluding to the reduction of wages consequent upon the panic, the value to all of @ steady trade, and the ne- foeped of securing for the Schuylkill region its fair share of the coal trade for the year. The operstore at once knuckled down to Mr. Gow- en’s proposition and made it theirs. The com- mittee of the men did not agcept the proposi- tion, and it will have to be voted on by the separate branches of the Miners’ and Laborers’ Benevolent Association, the result of their de- If on that day the operators’ ultimatum is not accepted, all work ceases in the region.

Mr. Beecher said that he bad no objection whatever to the meeting and discus- sing the points of ditference on Congregational lity: but as to the wretched Bowen and Til- on business, he would bave nothing to eay about it; he bad his own views on that subje: he bad ‘made up his mind as to how he would act about it, and would not change his mind or his action; ‘he would talk of it with nobody. | The two—Taft and Beecher—then sought Dr. Buddington, and the three, after friendly sal- utations, moved upou the Church of the Pil gtims in the fellowing order :—Mr. Beecher oc- Cupied the center, supported on the right wing by the pastor of the sister church of Clinton ay- enue, and on the left by the legal peacemaker, ‘The march was beguiled by genial intercourse, and passing citizens who had recently read the newspapers were surprised at the smiling and merry outward signs of a cordial, even joyous alliance. At Dr. Storrs’ study, which adjoins his chureb, no resistance was offered to the in- vading triad. Indeed, the citadel was captured in the absence of the garrison, the attendant announcing that Dr. Storrs had gore out, but would presently return. While awaiting his ar- rival, Dr. Buddington suggested the propriety of prefacing business with prayer. ‘To this Mr. Beecher assented, requesting his reverend bro- ther of the sister church to begin and agreeing to follow. Before Mr. Beecher had tinished his supplication Dr. Storrs entered, and contem- lated the scene with such amazement as may conjectured. His astonishment was not di- minished when the pastor of the Plymouth sis- ter church, with characteristic readiness, began praying directly at him, and in Mr. Beecher’s own words, ‘gave it to him strong.” The con- versation that ensued was friendly, but its result wholly personal, each minister disclaiming any 7, to speak for his pesprecnsion or to pledge his committee. Official action by the aged charches is therefore now in order.—Y. Y. Herald. Capture of Raymond, the Forger. 18 TRACED TO LONDON AND ARRESTED. District Attorney Phelps was informea by cable telegram yesterday of the arrest in Lon- don of Stephen Raymond, a noted forger, who is under indictment here for negotiating traud- ulent bonds of the Buffalo and Erie and New York Cevtral railways. He tled in July last, and nothing was known of his whereabouts un- til a few weeks ago. When Mr. Phelps heard that he was in London, detectives were sent to take him, accompanied by Mr. 8. H. Tilghman, cashier for the private banking establishment of S. N. White, of Wall street, who was heavily victimized bey Raymond's operations. Mr. Tilghman was taken to identify the fugitive. It is charged that he was associated with the band of forgers whosold nearly $500 000 of fraudulent railroad bonds to bankers and banks early last summer. Koberts and Gleason, from whom he is said to have obtained the bonds, are in the Tombs awaiting trial. Four other men who worked with bim are under indictment. Ray- mond placed $70,000 of the bonds on the market. A portion was passed on Mr. White, to whom he was introduced by a gentleman named Rob- erts. He realized about $40,000, which he car- ried with him to London. Raymond was an as. sociate of —_ and George Wade Wilkes, well-known offenders. He served seven years in state prison for defrauding a bank, and after his release he formed a compact with Roberts and Gleason. He is described as thirty-six years of age, of medium size, with @ cast in one of his eyes. He is well educated. He lived with Dr. Biaisdell, of Burdell-Cunningham murder notoriety. When he made bis escape he was accompanied by a Mrs. Bowden. De- tectives traveled in pursuit of him and found him living in Robertson’s Hotel, in London, in nd sty’ He frequented the races, and his money very freely. His capture was effected by Chief Inspector J. Palmer and In- ww, of Scotland Yard. The demand for his extradiction has been sent on by the Sec- retary of State.—N. ¥.

"Wween's Washing. —e What a frightfal sensation that is when you pemed pan got home of a cold Monday night pulled your boots off, to be told that the week's washing is out on the line and must be brought im. Now to do this of adewey eve in the «am: mer, with the delicate perfume of flowers tilling the air,and a brase baud on the next street, is not exactly a hardship; but to do it in the dead of winter, with a chilling breeze blowing, snd the clothes as stif! as @ rolling-pin, is something no man can contemplate without quaking. We don’t quite understand how it is thatfa man in: variably gets his boots oit before the dread sam- mons comes, but the rest of it is plain enough. ‘There is a sort of rebellious feeling in his heart which prompts him to try to entangle his wite in an argument, and failing in this be snatches up the basket, ai out in the yard with it, rapping it it against the sides of the door with as much vigor as if it was not purely accitental if the fond wife is anvway attentive she can hear his well known voice consigning various objects to eternal suffering, long after he has disappeared. There is no levity, jp a line ot frozen clothes. Every is as frigid as the Cardiff giant, and the man who wrenches the pin off and then holds the basket in expectation of seeing the piece drop off the line or its own accord, is too pure and simple | for this world. But our man isn’tof that na- ture. He catches hold of the garment with his chilled hands, and seeks to pull it ot, bat it doesn’t come. ' Then he yanks it upwards and then downwards and then sideways, and when it comes off it maintains the shape it has been ail the afternoon working into, which permits just as readily to enter the ‘basket as t shoved through the key tirst articles he doubles up with his han there is a faint sembla: al packing them awa ter that he smashes them into the basket without any cere and crowds them down with the same care in taking down a fine c handkerchief that he does in capturing « and makes two handkerchiefs of every one When he gets far from the basket he allows th articles to multiply in his arms, so as to sav steps, aud when he gets his arms full of th awkwardand miserable things, whose sharp corners jab him in the neck and face, h toan article that refuses to give w end. He pulls and shakes desperat howling and screaming in his rage, un-il he in- advertently steps om the dragging end of a sheet, and then he comes down flat on the frozen snow. barket, darts back to the refractory member, and taking hold of it, fiercely tugs at it, while he fairly jumps up and down inthe extremity of bis anger and cold. Then it comes unex- peetedly, and with it a part of the next article, and he gocs over again this time on his baci and with violence. With the clothes gathered, he takes the basket up in his livid hands, thas bringing the top articles against his already frozen chin, and thus tortured, propels his life- less limbs into the house. She’ stands ready to tell him to close the door, and is thoughtful enough to ask him if it’s cold work. But if he is a wise man he will mike no auswer. If he is a‘wise man he will silently plant himself in front of the stove, and framing his frozen fea- tures into an implacable frown will preserve that exterior without the faintest moditication until bedtime.— Da Ne Burning Lime—Oyster Sheil and Stone, To the Editors of the American Farmer:—For veral years we burned oyster shells in the open air in this way: We made on the groand tues of large logs, 3% feet apart, end to ent, until the kiln was 16 feet square; then crossed the flues with good as close as we could well lay them, and placed smaller woodon top of them until we had 8 or 10 inches of wood, or i8 of brush; then a layer of shells, say a foot; then # inches of wood and a foot of brush and shells again, and soon in alternate layers, as high as we could pile the shells, of which we made the top layer 15 inches or 2 feet high. We tired about neon and burned for “6 hot th loose shells trom Thi am air slake one lima burned inthe open air vers of coal and limestone, ering the pile with earth. It is a'so some times burned with wood in these parts by mak- ng a pen of logs as for frame house, covering 1S inches of earth. If suitable stone were y alternating y, 1 think it would be an advantage to make the front a South one if pract.cable. One or two arches of stone should be made In the front in which the wood is put for tiring. These arches should not be built tight of course, but strong enough so support the limestone resting on them above, and yet open enough to give free draft to the fire and heat from the burning wood. If the front is built ot stone to the height of ine top of these arches it would be prefera- ble, and then the logs wonld run square above them. All should be covered as far as practica- bie with earth, and the front proper puddled. I do not know the dimensions for a ki!n of a thou- sand bushels of lime, but suppose it would take 30 or 35 cords of wood, and from 4% to 52 hours, to burn the stone. It would probably be an ad vantage to dress the outside of the kiln with ogs, and stone and earth, as deemed neceasary, in the same Way as charcoal burners dress their kilns.

There are two of these oleomarga- rine factories in New York, one in Fifty-sixth street and one in Twenty-ninth street. They predce: daily nineteen thousand pounds, which, with the product of the other factories’ in the vicinity of the metropolis, makes i the yield more than twenty-three tons per day. “The butter ls made from the yellow, tasteless and odoless oil that is obtained from beef suet. This oil 1s placed in churns, with one fifth its weight of sour milk, and churned until an emulsion is formed, anatto being added to give the requir- ed color. Itis then cooled and worked and salted like comon butter. It is estimated that four thousand tons (eight million pounds) of this artificial butter has been consumed in th! country during the last eight months.

Watoues ror Locomorivgs.—For years the Pennsylvania railroads have made a first-cli watch a part of the engine equipment. Ev. engine upon the road has its watch numbered to nd with the number on the engine. The watches are purchased by the com. any and controiled by the proper officers. In the office of each division superintendent hangs a watch- maker's with num! for the engines belonging to that division. When the engine goes out upon a trip, the watch is taken from the hook. When it returns, the watch is replaced, and while in the oftice is ran with the regulator. As@ consequence, all the engines upon the are being run upon a uniform time, and no record has yet been made of an ac- cident resuiti ng from a discrepancy of watches. why don't your mother sew up 3 “*Cause she’s down to the ves- try sewing for the heathen.
