A telegram from Cape Coast Castle says "Captain Firminger haa returned to the river Prah from Becquah and Adanai, where he lias been engaged in investigating the causes of the recent disturbances. He haa, however, been unable to effect an im- provement ia the atate of thlnga. The Adausls were friendly, but the Bsoquahs, numbering about 10.000 strong, refused to allow any Interference. They informed Captain Firminger that they intended to retake the four towns captured from them in the war of 1874, and given by ijord W^ol seley to Adansis. An important engagement waa expeoted to be fought on the 2Ist Inst. A party ef forty-five German traders, sur- prised by the Becquaha, have been put to death, after being norribly tortured. Prison- ers were tortured on both sides. Both the Becquahs and the Adansis expressed great dissatisfaction at the refusal of the governor to intervene. The governor was asked to mediate some months ago, when both sides were willing to accept his good clfioes and had his excellency then consented it is thought that the present trouble might have been averted. It Is expected that the Adanais, being the weaken party, will be driven across the Prah.

If previalon f or the proper ventUatirn of a houae la made at tha tioie ef its construo- tion, very little expanse need be involved hence the impertance of giving tUs matter attention when planning a dwelling. The following is a brief summary of the princi- ples of oorrect ventilatton, whioh ought te be familiar to every ene, whether interest ed In house-building or not â€" 1. For effioient ventilation of aaeh room in a building, two epenlnga are neceaaary, oaefer entrance of freah air, and one for egreaa of foul air. 2 When the f'osh air entera a room warm, aa when fumaoea are used for heat bg, the foul air opening aheuld be at the bottom, aa the oldeat air in the room, and consequently the most impure, will be that which has been In the room the longest, and lias been gradually cooled by oeataot with outside walls and window anrfaoe*. When a loom la heated by stoves, the foul air opening ahenld be near the ceiling. The siza ef openings depends npon the number ef persons to be supplied with air. It may be laid down aa a general role that an opening of twenty-four aquare inohea' apace in both inlet and outiet ia required for each individual in a room. The opeoiDgs 'should be of sufiScIent size to allow a pas- sage of at least three thousand oablo feet of idr per hour without oraating too percepti- ble drafta. Air oannet travel through a room more rapidly than five feet a aeoond without a currenfa being perceptible. A sick- room needs two or tliree times the er- dinary amount of vantilatien. The foal-air epenlnga of rooms shoold connect with heated ventilating shafts. Celd-ab shafts are oneertain ventHaton. They are net to be relied upon. The amount ef draft In the shaft depends upon the height of the shaft and the amount of heat In It, Various methods of heatittg the ventilating abaft maybs adopted. In a balldiog heated by steam, steam-pipes may be employed. In ordinary dwellinga, the waate heat of amoke-pipea or oblmneya maybe utilized fer the pnrpeae. AneU- atove er a gaa-jet niay be naod fer heating amall abafta In dwellioga or a small stove may be used to aocempllsh the same pur- pose in larger ahafts. 5. Boema en diffarent aterlea should not open into the aama ventilating ahaft, aa the upper reoma are Ifrely, under varioua olr- cumstanoes, to receive the foul air from the rooms below. In constructing a dwelling-hoase witii reference to health in the matter of heating and ventilation, we know ef no better plan than to provide an Improved form of fur- nace as a means of snpplying warm, pore air, and a grate fer every room er suite o* roema as a meana of ventilation. In very cold weather, the draft In epen g ratea will be suffioientiy stareng to secure ample venti- lation, if the fines are in inside walls, even without heat bat La spring and fall, a llttie fire will often be needed te create a draft in the grate flue.
