A -Mr. W. T. Lynn writes to the Loudon
Simulant: "The old Idea that our Lord's
passion and resurrection occurred lu A. I).
(given in most Illbles which have dates In
the margins) was founded on the traditional
belief tltat lie was about thirty-three years on
earth combined with the idea that the date of
His nativity was four years later than it really
was (the actual date of that event being, in
all probability, U. C. 4.) The only real doubt
about the date of tlie resurrection is whether
it was A. 1). 29 or SO. Now, astronomy tells
us that the full moon, which would be Pas
chal in the former year, fell on a Saturday
(April 10,) which is inconsistent with tlie cir
cumstances narrated. Hut In A. D. 30 tltat
full moon was on Thursday, April 0,on which
day the Passover meal was eaten, and our
Lord suffered the next day (In our reckoning,
the same day in tlie Jewish,) on which other
observances connected with the Passover w re
still to be kept. Thls.then, I have very little
doubt, was the true year ; and, If so ,of course
tlie first Kaster was on April H, on which day
we shall I his year celebrate its anniversary."

at the Opera House. Miss Jane Coombs

H. M. Ncml, Ksq,, clerk to the revenue
commission, who was empowered by the
sub-committee to draft a bill embodying the
views of the committee on general licenses,
has completed his work and thu bill was pre
seated to the commission, which met in Phila
delphia, Tuesday. The bill makes some Im
portant changes lu the existing laws. In re
gard to tlie mercantile appraisers it requires
security in four thousand dollars In Phlla.
delphia and Allegheny counties, and in other
counties two thousand dollars. They are to
receive fifty cents out of the amount paid by
eacli dealer. This is a reduction of the fee.
The bill abolishes the advertisement of ap
praisers' lists in the newspapers. All dealers
are made taxable. The lowest consideration
Is two dollars. The tax on the first billiard
and pool table Is reduced from thirty to tif
teen dollars, and on every additional table
from ten to live dollars. Brokers are taxed
on their annual prollts, from twenty dollars
upwards. Amusement licenses aro also re
duced. Auctioneers are required to take out
a license and to pay three per cent, on their
annual prollts. No conlllctiug special laws
relative to peddlers' licenses and the tax on
patent medicines are reported. No change
is made in the appointment of mercantile ap
praisers anywhere.

At tills season of the year, when the prac
tical experience of bad roads brings the sub
ject to the mind of every farmer, a few words
concerning the topic will not prove amiss.
We had intended to give our own views upon
the subject in the Sun it Jlanner this week,
but tlud, in the subjoining paragraph, so
much expressive of our own views Hint the
reader will obtain them, as well as additional
facts and opinions, that must interest and
Instruct. The writer remarks: "The public
roads of a district show the spirit and enter
prise of the people in. the district to a certain
extent, ami all will admit that good public
roads add to the value of the laud us much,
If not more, than anything of equal cost. A
bad road means a small load with great wear
mid tear to wagon and learn, and bad roads
are the complaint generally. Why? First,
they are badly drained, and not enough
work done on them ; second, there is but
little thought given to making roads, and
Die work Is often done late in the fall ; third,
men plow and scrape more than there Is any
need of, and make a narrow, poor road when
they get through. It is cheaper to make a
good, wide road, when tho land will permit,
than a narrow one, from the fact that in
making a wide one yoi simply bring the dirt
from the ditches upon tlie road bed, which
should never be plowed up or disturbed. A
public road should be 35 feet from outside
to outside of tlie ditches. The road bed (that
is the part between the inside of tlie ditches)
should be 25 feet wide. The ditches should
be 5 feet wide and 1 foot deep on the outside,
and deeper, if necessary, with suuicient
grade to draw off the water, otherwise there
will be a bad, muddy ro.id. Now with such
a road tlie best Is solid, and the soil scraped
on top will soon pack and become hard.
There is no danger in being tipped over, and
travel is not obliged to follow in a single rut,
as it must in a narrow road. Dry roads mean
good ditches. To fill up mud holes without
draining Is simply putting in more dirt to
make more mud. Wmtport, Sun it Hanntr.

III former years school directors assumed

ity of the same, that from and after thu

minister such, that they will faithfully
perforin such duties under tlie constitution
and laws of the commonwealth, and that
they will not knowingly receive directly or

due whatsoever for the performance or
non.performance of uny act or duty per.
tattling to the ofllec of school director.
Sec. 2. No person hereafter elected

have just been chosen, is the following i

Editor Coi.vmiiIAN. Frequently 1 have
been asked lliu question of the effects of
Salivary calculus (or tartar) on the teeth.
I propose to answer It through the col
uiiius of your paper. 'I In- Importance of
proper iittcnllou to Ihe cleanliness of the
teeth can hardly be overstated, ami yet few
even of those who pride themselves upon Ihe
care which they bestow upon these oigalts,
give to them the time and labor which their
value would Justify. As a preventative of
diseases of tlie teeth and gilms, lonslant
attention to their thorough cleanliness Is of
unquestionable Importance, for thus not only
is the formation of tartar prevented, but the
removal of particles of food and oilier ex
traneous matters (which lodge about and
ndhere to them, nud which If allowed to re
main would corrupt the accretions of the
mouth anil It rt tutu and lnllame tlie gums) Is
secured.
I he deposit called tartar, which collects
more or less about the leellt of everyone
varies greatly In appearance, quantity mid
character. In different individuals it Is
black, brown, green, yellow,oriicmlv white,
lis presence is more or less hurtful according
lo Its chararter and quantity. In some cases
Its Inllucncu Is exceedingly pernicious
causing the gums to become swollen, In.
limned ami spongy, suppuration occurs about
their margins, followed by their recession
from the necks of the teeth and by the
absorption or waste of tlie sockets.
The gums become so sensitive Unit the
use of a tooth brush Is exceedingly painful
mid because of Hits no elTort is made to keep
tlie mouth clean. The tartar accumulates
rapidly and the result Is the destruction
more or less speedily of the alveolar pro
cesses and the loosening of tlie teeth until
they drop out.
These, however, are not the only results.
The breath becomes fetid j the lluldsof the
mouth are vitiated; Indigestion, loss of appe
tite, affections of tlie eyes, pains in the ears,
headache, neuralgia, andgeneral disturbance
of the health follow.
That derangements of the digestive futict
ions and consequent impairments of the
whole economy may result from a diseased
condition of the mouth, Is too well establish
ed to require argument.
The presence of decayed teeth and roots,
ulcerated or suppurating gums, accumula
tion of tmtar Arc, must necessarily pollute
the saliva, and thus caie Irritation more or
less severe of the mucous membranes of tlie
stomach.
The exhalations from a mouth so diseased
mayjiilso.and no doubt they often do.producc
an Injurious effect upon the bronchial lubes
aui lungs.
These being fnct,il is much to be lamented
that many parents aie so neglectful us lo al
low their children to grow up without
having acquired the habit of keeping tlie
mouth scrupulously clean, paying no atten
tion to the condition of the teeth until an ex
posed nerve speaks with a voice that will not
be silenced, announcing the mischief which
lias been allowed to proceed unchecked.
These accumulations with proper treat-
ment, can be prevented, but lime at tlie pies,
ent will not permit to dwell upon it.
