Public institutions, corporation!,
cietici and associations generally have a
very funny notion about publitbera of
newspapers. They think we ought to
print, puff and publish all for nothing;
that it is free gratis. In other words they
seem astonished if wc ask half price only
for publishing an obituary notice, card of
thanks, tribute of respect, a personal com
munication, or anything else that only in
terests a few persons and not the general
reader. They think it is nothing'toadver
tise and puff gratuitously They forget
that it takrs money to pay the compositor,
to buy ink, type and paper; and lastly,
they sometimes even forget to thank us
when we are generous enough to work for
nothing by gratuitous pulling their busi
ness or serving the public. Did you ever
bear of an association or corporation ever
thanking the publisher for what he had
done? And yet, if a man had to live on
"thanks" there would not be nearly so
much poverty in the world.
The above we copy from "an exchange,'
and give it as our experience. We have
constant applicants who ask us to do such
work "for nothing" notwithstanding u>t
must pay for every type set in this office,
for every; sheet of paper, every drop of
ink, rent, light, fuel, &c., &c. We never
think of obtaining anything from anybody
"for nothing," and without being willing
to render a just equivalent for the same.
We like to get things as cheap as we can,
but we never ask to have anything for
nothing.

For the last two year* Ch-ist MoU has
been victoriou*, but no# Bob is again up
permost, and, of course, we expect a toll

be abolished. With one party it Lto build

been going tor som* year*. Tho election
for managers resulted as follows: D O

We'll bet a cucumber that Centre
Hall can turn out more boy's who smoke
cigars than any other town of its size.
Some of our youngsters are as accomplish
ed in the art as any city danJv that ever
sucked a Havana- Wo know it, for we v
watched'cm doing it, and we're proud of
their accomplishment in a practice which
must be divine for every puff ha* it* slry
irarii tendency. Y'es, our urchins, who
have notyet got over say ing 'dive' for give.
"toot for "took," can bring a2l cent
to a stump as handsomely as Gen.
Grant, and not feel tho least voinity on it.
and they do it with th* most astonishing
nonchalang. Our boys are scienced '
smokers too —we've often watched em
they have all the styles of holding a "to- |
by" between tho lips, that confirmed
smokers, over 2U years of age, in any civ
i!izd country, aver practiced, and we rc
as pleased with their proficiency as our
little fellows are proud of their whiffs.
/You see the toby nicely steadied at an an
gle of 45 degrees between the lips ol the
one, in a horizontal position from the
mouth of another, in the left corner of the ■
mouth ot the third, and in the centro of
the lips of a fourth, and so on through the
various style* of doing it. The style that
we admire most, is the 4o degree style, it is
fancy and shows an air of independence
that every son of this fourth-uf-J uiy coun
try ought to cultivate, and then, in cold
weather, it has a beneficial service in ser
ving to warm the nasal organ—only it re
quires a little more caution a* a few de
grees more of elevation would bring the
hot end of the fiery monster in contact
with the boy's smeller, when his proficien
cy in protanity would be laid bare. Then
again, they can blow at big a volume of
smoke into big people* face*, as folks who
you'd think had bigger mouths This
part of the performance is admirably done
by any cigar smoking boy of Centre Hall.
It don't matter that some of these bey s
can't repeat the ten commandments, that
is atoned for by their ability to smoke ten
cigars between the time they are washed
for breakfast and put to bed again by their
ma's at night. Any boy that can smoke,
of course, is a smart boy, ami the one that
knows how to steady hi* toby between his
Up* at an angle #f 4., is inartor. Why
we have boys,—and we almost forgot to
mention this—who can actually talk to big
t folk* while holding the weed iu their lit-
Ale mouths. Just think of thut! We al
ways thought it was only the politicians
and ignorant college graduate* that could
do that, but we were mistaken, for we've
had the pleasure of seeing theis boys do it.
These boy* sinoke, no doubt from patriotic
motive* too, it brings in revenue to pay
off the war debt.
There is only one thing wanting with
these boys, and this is from negligence on
the part of their dear ma's—they hive no
cigar pockets in the sides of their jacket*
and waniuses like som* of the big smoker*
have —the boy> lack only this one little
matter as •lookers, I)icy are adepts in all
the rest, we can assure the fond purient.
Now if any town can say more for its
"young America," lat us know, ami we'll
send the Reporter one yeui free out of
charity's sake to any little boy whose
training in the art of pufilng a toby lias
been neglected.

Ma WOLFE. 1 would like to state that
in the account givm in the pre,- of my - w

an error. 1 did not pick tin-note up my
self. It was picked up by another gentle
man, and handed to tue without any pre

tallied until I read it, and 1 read it because
1 supposed the gentleman who handed it 1
to me desired I should read it. 1 then vu

MR Davis, So Jar at the motive* that 1*
actuated mo on that day are concerned ar
there is no secrcsy about them. I rose in h,
my isit on that occasion, a* 1 supposed, t .
to occupy but five or ten minute*. I ro-e ■
at twenty minutes of one o'clock. 1 might in
have flnt-hed ail 1 had to say* if 1 had not ea
been interrupted by tho gentleman from tb
Delaware [Mr. Talley], in offering a reso- w
lutlon fixing an afternoon session, and by *
the gentleman front .Union [Mr. Wolfe], I"
who seemed to be exceedingly irritated by d
by some thing* 1 said, an I woo, with the lot

authorised tho provivus day could bu had c *
and before it could be known whether 111
there had been corrupt mean* used,or ut- o'
tempted to be used in seeuringthe pa-iigc lr
of the bill. When the gentleman from f"
Bradford [Mr. Meyer] offered hi* motion : w
to postpone the bill indefinitely, I went t<> 111
him to explain that he had no right, being "
of the majority, to force the minority ton h
direct vote, on that day, under tho circum w

in good faith, [and wire in favor of the!*
principles of it, but none of u wnntcd t" T

to vote until the matter was settled. lie "
saw the propriety of the course I suggest *•
ed and withdrew his motion. It waa im- h
mediately renewed by tho gontlemnn from ft
Cambria [Mr. Henry], and seconded by '•
the gentleman from Union [Mr. Wolfe], it
two gentlemen connected with' g
banks. If tny remark* Irritated the -•
gentleman from Union [Mr. Wolfe], he *
cannot charge them to anything e
hut his own want of generosity p
manifested on that occasion in attempting'
to force us a to a direct n-te, notwith-(t'
standing tho cloud that reted upon the "
bill at the time. When I received the p
note I vvns upon my feet. It was aid by a ii
page upon my desk, and I glanced at it *
hastily. That part of it which alleged ;h
that the gentleman from Union [Mr. "
Wolfe], wa- preparing to call the previ- \
ou-question wa true And I did not pro- l
pose to lie forced or have the minurilyj"
forced to a vote if I < oiil i prevent it. I' "
did speak with the purpose of reaching 1
the hour of adjoiirnnieiit, in order that:'
this might not ha done, I will add, that;'
the intention of thejgeiii ii-tnan from Union '

from Centre (Mr. Orvi'] full opportunity (
to correct any statement I might make. t
I desire to ask him one or two questions; (
' but, previously, 1 desire to suy that in t
stead of it being twenty minutes to one
o'clock when he rose to speak it was twen- ,
ly minutes after twelve o'clock. The
geritleuiuii was about to rise when the
gentleman from Delaware [Mr. Talley] (
offered hi* resolution. This caused the- (
gentleman from Centre [Mr. Or vi*] to sit t
down, and brought to my attention the -
fact that lie was going to spouk. I then (
turned round and said to him, How long
do you want "to apeak? lie,said. Not '
j more than five or (en minutes. I then
said to him that I proposed ut n quarter

A remarkable and #ucceful treatment of
thi#. which I witnessed in I'arit, is so pe- i
culiar and strange, that if it were not b
fore such a trustful audience, bold and
daring a# I am, alien I am sure of tbe
truth, i should net daro to mention the
fact The daughter of a friend of mine
wa* attacked with n fit of hysteria every
morning. I succeeded for a time in break
ing up the fit by the ue of violent mean#
lor a half an hour before the parotytm
waa due. Hut after a time the meant I
uted i einpletcly failed. My friend then
went to a< o a gTinnxil in I'arit, named
Trial, who wa# tar more dating than 1 am,
and was in the habit of treating hysteria
in a very bold and unique way. He u#ed
to take hi# patient*, a# he did thi# lady, up
a ladder after having bandaged their eye#
#4> that they could *ce nothing. Aftar they
had ascended to the height of about 'A)
feet, lie made them walk very carefully
on a plank thai wu# about seven o. eight
inch**# in width. He, of course, vva# a
gymnast, and accustomed to walk there,
#-> that he could easily lead the pern n for
ward. When the young lady hatl reach
ed the middle • f the pUnk, whieh was
pretty long—for it was a large gymnasium
-he aid to hi# patient, "Now. yen are
perfectly afo, nnd there is no p*ibilily
of your fit coming on again." He had
previously assured her that this mean# wa*
infallible; hail referred to hundred of pre
vious cases, and exaggerated hit success
in order to m l on the mind of tho patient.
"Now," an id lie, "ufliT I have left you,
you will not try to lift up the piece of cot
ti>n-wool that is fixi'il on your eye# until
• >ne minute haselapsml .' He stai teil away
nnd left Die patient there in great danger,
as you may imagine, of falling. After a
; minute had pa#ed tba patient 'emovoil
I the bandage and opened her eyes. Fur

i ever ocemred tliwru. II <• ninny p itiunt*

i know the daughter of my frn'iid wa* cer
tainly cured. Tho next liny there vv- no
luted of taking Jier up there. Site liiul
enough of it | Laughter.]
There are many other mean* that may
cure an attack of hysteria. The xreal
point to l>e tememhorcd is, that faith iu
the patient in tliosii east's is the principal
medicine. I'laeing the arms in very lint
water, a# Dr. Cerise has found, will stop
the fit. Other mean*, such as tiio appli
cation of icc on the hack of tho neck w hen
the patient dees not expect it, will also
succeed. A ligaturo tied very tightly
around the limb may stop tho uttack. All
the means of counter-irritation may ho j
tried also. But in those ca-es whore it is
not through tho mind that the uDuck i.-
begun, it must be through u direct influ
ence exerted by the transmission of nerve
force to the cell* that were active, thus
causing an arre-t. Catalepsy may bo
stopped in the same way. Dr. Ring found
that by drawing on tho finger of one of hit
i patient# lie always succeeded in stopping
• ■tie of lifer fits. I have seen one case ot the
I kind myself. Many other menus may be
successfully employed in catalepsy as well
las hysteria.— Dr. Brown-Sequtird'a he*

The corroboration of Mr M Klduanry

hi* evidence, one of bit own wiinctte#. a
