During this warm wialher, iced milk has be come a popular beverage, pupcrrcding tea and cofleeto a certain extern. To those who use it wo commend the following nilvier,givni by Dr. Dyce I'uckworth, mid pnblibed in the Jlnpvlnr Science Mi nlhty. Hp says that milk is a food that should not be taken in copious draught. ;e beer or fluids which diflir firm it chemi cally. If wo consider li e use of milk in infancy, lli e pbysiolrgirnl ingestion, thatir, of it, we find that tho mtklng bahc imbibes by little tho nc.t- ral food piovided for it. Kaoh small mouthful s scouted by effort nnd slowly piresental to tho nine mnccus surfnco for the ptluinl dige'tive tngis. Itisibus regularly and gradually re duced to curd, nnd tho stomach is not op pressed witli a lumpi of half-coagubitid milk. The same principle should I o ipgnideil in the ase of adults. Milk should bo slowly taken in mouthful at short intervnls, nnd thus it is igbtly dealt with by tbegaslricjiiici'. If milk bo taken after other food it is almost sure to burden tho slo mach and to cause discomfort and pro longed indigestion, nnd this, for the obvious roaon that there is insufficient digestive ngen- cy to dispose of it. Ard tho better the quality of tho milk the more severe the discomfort will bo under these conditions. During tho existence of small pox in Bloom- burg a large number of residents have bad ro- course to vaccinaticn,frl!e.wlnp the advice given by phi sicinns. There ere in every community some persons who do not believe that vaccina- ion is really a safeguard against small pox and who refuse to submit lo the operation- If there are any such among our readers it may interest and convince ibem lo read the following sin- istics, published by Dr. Iiuehanan,lbo medical officer of the Londoii Local Government Hoard, durirg the priscntrpidemic in Ihe Eng. lish metropolis: "During the pastyeor 1,532 persons of nil ages, died in London, of small pox, and cl ll.oso aza were eemiied io nave been vaccina'cd and C3i nol tohno been vac. cinated, while ibe fncin nbiut vaccination arc not stated in 570 of the case. Estimates made by the Metropolitan Asylums Heard in 18' give the London vaccinated as nineteen times more numerous than Ibe iinvnrcinnated. Ac cording lo ibis, out of the 3 810,000 inbabi ants given in the unrevised census of 1881, 3,020,000 have been vaccinated, and theunvac cinated class numbers 1!)0,000. Applying the mortality of small pox stall ages to theso class es, it is found that the rate of small pwx mor tality for tlio twelvemonth among the vaccina- ted is but ninety per million, while among the unvnccinp.tcd it reaches the enormous figure of 11,350 per million." Mrcit Scaiikd. Our neighbors of Illooins- burg are having a big scare, judging from llio measures iheir authorities nre taking toward off the, spiend of small iiox. In addition to pass'tig an ordinance reqniiing nil citizens who havo not yet heen vaccinated lo t.e to at once, they have closed the churches on Sunday, and 'tis stated scire of Ibe manufactories) closed on weekdays. Iicni'e' nil this, lorches arekipt burning in fiont of places nt night where cases are three wo are told us signnis oi warning, Yet th c lecsl papers affect to wonder at Ihe ex HL'i'erated rumors abroad in neiehborine towns, Danville when assailed bv the disease named, went slightly dafl, but as compared wilh the denisor.s of Pdctmsburg under llio same condi tion of affairs, they wero n self-possessed and sensible community. JJamiilc Jntuligencer, Juslsucb opinions as the above, and people who believe in Ibem, lead to tho spread of small pox. The prompt nnd efficient means adopted by the town authorities, deserve hearty com. mondation. Strange as it will doubtless ap pear lo tho Inlclliijencer, wo pirefer the cnrpiing cntici'ms of outsiders, to the roritinuai.ee ol the disease. Exaggerated rumors always pre ynil, whenever small pox or any other danger ous di'e.ne cxuia In a community, nnd we have no doubt Danvil'o'a uHlietion was greatly mag nilled by careless or malicious go-sips. It may bo woll to say that tho churches wero only clo-icd cm one Sunday and that there has been no co-isiition of work in the manufactories. LEWIS' LAKE.

EniToa Coi.umiiian: Tbero are many things to which the Democratic voters of this county should direct Iheir attention in the approach ing delegate election. I desire to call spuda! attention to two. Firtt. Tho competency nnd fitness in nil re spetts of Ihe candidates asking for tho several official positions. iSrconrf. The political stacding of tho candi dates ns Democrats. Tho first is of much importanco to all citizens iutcested in the county government, and the keeping of its records. It is moro important lo Democratic voters, because they have, in add! lion to the genernl desire for good government, the reputation of Ihiinselvesand tho advance ment of pnrly interests nt stake. The parly having a majoiiiy of voters in tlio rounty, and therefore power to elect efficers, is chargcab'e with nil misconduct in cilice, whclher by offi cials diicctly nominated and elected by it, or elected nrmirnlly by feme factious element or party (Greenback for example) through a dl vision of the votes of Democrats. Thus, nil improper assessments, wrongful ap propriations of money, crreneous records, offi cial negligence nnd other injurious official acts, are injurious to tho Democratic party, and in jurious to the individual voters of Ihe party, who are shamed because of the evil. Tho re sponsibility is upon the majority pnrly to bo conduct its organization that gocd, capiablo and honest ofiiciuls ImU he elected, and when by dissension it allows its ticket to be defeated, in whole or in pari, it will not bo guiltless.

The de feat of the Democratic parly in general elec tions for years past was tho result of bad man agement. The nomination and election to lo cal iffices, of men who woro mere office seek ers in parlies and factions, regardless of princi pie, have brought discredit to the party in Its strongholds, disgraced it in the conduct of ofli cers for personal ends, and frequently by fraudulent menus.
