Frost Bites. A correspondent ot
an agricultural paper furnishes tho fol
lowing: I have treated this troublesome
oompluiut very successfully for thirty
years in the following manner; Wash the
hands and feet, if both are affected, in
water as hot as it can bo borne fur a
short time, then dry off and paint the
parts with tincture of iodine. It can bo
applied with a camel's Lair brush, or
with a rag tied on a small stick. A few
applications will give relief in the worst
cases, and euro recent ones. After a
few washings they may be omitted and
the remaining spots painted until
they make a perfect cure.
Another Murder. We learn that
on Friday last, February 13th, the body
of Patrick Long, an Irishman by birth,
was found in tho Moshannon, under
neath the bridge which spans tbat creek
at Osceola. From the facts elicited at
the inquest, it is evident that he was
fouly dealt with on tho night previous,
and was thrown over the end ot the
bridge into the creek, by the perpetrator
of the horrible deed. That hu was
murdered, is evident, from the fact that
his skull on the buck oi his head was
broken iu with some heavy and dull
wbt-pon. As to who committed the
deed, nothing is positively known as yet
but two men have been arrested on sus
picion of being tho parties one of
whom had a quarrel with Long several
days previous. Raftsman' Journul.

Pav Cash. Oh, how hard it is to
pay biils! Everybody LnowJ this. It
is such a pleasant thing, too, to have
money in your pocket, an 1 there U uo
way by which this desirable result can
be secured except by spendiug less tbau
you receive. Nothing assists in this
calculation bo much us puying fjr what
you get, when you get it.
Every tradesman knows that people
buy more iMely on credit than for
cash. When tho pocket-book is drawn
upon every time that a want is to be
satisfied, thero is a true appreciation of
the value of what you give, as well as of
whit you get; but when things are not
paid for at the lime, their is a less ap
preciation of tho cost than of the pur
chase. In housekeeping especially, the cash
system is the best and pleasantest. It
prevents a great deal of cheating, wasto,
and saves the mistress of the house no
and of trouble. Cash customers buy
cheapest and are the most desirable.
Buy for cash.

Our Dog Population.
The dog population of Pennsylvania
will probably not fall much short of a

to tbe extent oi nearly a million dollars
For instance, during 1773, the Com
missioners ol Lycoming county puia
over 81.900 for sheep killed by dogs
This is but a single item, and a small
one too. These dogs cost, at at average
ol 25 cents a week each, over ten mil
lions of dollars, enough to run all our
common schools, pay the Legislature,
fand allow a large margiu lor thieving,)
teed tbe poor and build a new Mate
House. This fact alone has caused our
agricultural societies much solicitudo,
od they should not be censured lor
asking our learned lawmakers at Har
lisburg to pass stringent laws for the
protection ot the sheep trom the hordes
of ravenous curs which infest the land.
In the third place these eurs slay an
nually, through hydrophobia, at least
one hundred persons, which (at 85,000
each tbe average prioe paid by rail
roads for brakemen,) amounts to another
bait million. Here, then, is a direct
expenditure of over tcu millions of dol
lars for dogs, bot to mention tbe fines,
costs and more remote and sentimontal
damages resulting from lawsuits about
dog fights and consequence severance
cf friendships between the owners of
combative eurs. Add to tms tne annual
expenditure in the oities and towns of
the State for odd boots, crockery, paper
weisbts, boot jacks and such ether arti
