It is a well known fact that a great many
persons cannot be severe or indulge in the
least wit without dipping their pens in—filth•
The Monitor is of this class. By the way how
much did Dr. Helmbold's prescription cost
you?
A little nurse became very indignant, the
other morning, when the milk boy asked her
whether she wanted "infants' milk ?" "No,"
said she, "[ want cow's milk I" And such a
scowl as she gave that innocent boy he will
remember to his dying day.
-Occasionally we shoot a squib at some local
nuisance, and always we hear from half a doz
en sources, the inquiry, "do you mean me ?"
Those to whom we fire seldom take any notice
of it, but some one who feels it winces, and
lays in a statement of his grievances.
Mr. Daugherty, of Petersburg, with his
family, left their house on Tuesday, and when
he returned in the evening, with a boat, he
found all the goods in the lower story floating
around and the watqr up to the windows. A
number of families were obliged to leave their
houses.
The party who sent us a communication in
regard to the beating of a boy ought to know
that we do not insert anything of that kind
unless accompained by the name of a respon
able party. What assurance have we that the
statements are true unless we know who is
the author of them ?
A pig stye across the way from our resi
dence manufactures "stink" enough to supply
two or three squares. We only thing that
could equal it would be a gas tankand it could
not be half as offensive. It is not very pleas
ant to take in a few whiffs of this kind of
thing when you are enjoying a meal.
Our friend W. A. P. alledges a bad case of
domestic Consumption. We would prescribe
cold applications, highly flavored, seasoned
with the bright eyes and sweet smiles of a
favored fair one, to repeated frequently, and
we are confident that in the brief space of a
few months all will be 'merry as a marriage
bell."
Between twelve and one o'clock, Wednes
day morning, a young man named Gorsuch,
watchman at the tunnel at Spruce Creek, this
county, was instantly killed by the fast line
east. Gorsuch was seen sitting on the rail by
the engineer, who gave the ordinary signal of
danger, but the man did rot move, and before
the train could be stopped he was run over
and mangled to an extent that rendered him
unrecognizable. The supposition is that he
fell asleep afer he had taken a position on the
track and that he was in that condition when
struck by the engine. Gorsuch resided at
Spruce Creek and was about twenty-one years
of age.
While the rain was pouring down on last
Tuesday, a country man, who had made a
purchase of some sugar, thinking to preserve
it from the liquefying effects of the rain, pur
chased an umbrella from Henry & Co., and
started for home. In Portstown he met the
devouring element. For quarter of an hour
he worked, at a temporary bridge, along the
fence and mounted it, in a moment it was
swept from beneath him and lie disappeared
"beneath the waves." When he re-appeared
he had reached the bridge. At the south end
of the bridge lie took a skiff and in an instant
it tilted up and the unfortunate men went un
der again. When he came to the surface he
elevated his umbrella, felt the paper which
contained the liquid sugar and struck out
boldly for home. It was a bad day for sugar.

but it slipped into the water, and in attempt
ing to reacts it, he lost his balance and fell over
the breast of the dam, into the water, which
was there about eight or ten feet deep. As he
could not swim he soon sunk to the bottom.—
lie was seats by a couple of boys, who thought
he was diving, but remaining under the water
longer than they thought he should, they gave
the alarm, when several furnace hands ran
to his assistance, but by the time they raised
his body the vital spark had fled.
CO-OPERATIVE LAUNDRY.-11fr. Editor.
We read with much pleasure the article on
Laundries in your paper two weeks ago. We
have heard a number of persons giving very
favorable opinions of the idea. You, sir,
wrote up the "Town Clock" about as "high as a
kite," now go ou and write up the Laundry.
Having given some attention to your idea, we
find village Laundries are already in success
ful operation in many places; and arc very
popular. Having the experience of others to
direct us, our efforts need not be misapplied.
The question is asked, what will the machi
nery, building, &c., cost, and what is the mode,
of operation ? A fair estimate of cost would
be about $lOOO. Forty persons can raise this
amount if each one gives $25; and this num
ber of stockholders would make a trade with
in themselves.
The operation is no mystery—women and
boys do all the work ; who learn, in a few
days, how all the machinery is handled. The
laundry work of Huntingdon, if paid for at the
regular price, will cost at a low estimate $4OO
per week. A steam engine with its score or
two of washing mills, and a boy with a few
women to attend, will do the same amount of
work for one•tenth of this sum. Finishing
can be done either at the Laundry or at the
houses of the company. Washing and dry ;ng
is the thing to get rid of. There are a num
ber who are favorably impressed with the
Laundry idea, and are willing and anxious to
take hold of it. Men, women and children
will hold you, Mr. Editor, in grateful remem
brance if you succeed in driving the smoky,
sloppy, steaming, dreary, cheerless wash-day
from our houses. PROGRESS.
MR. SIMPSON will offer his house, No.
518 Church street, at public sale, on the 3d
inst., at ono o'clock. This is a neat and de
sirable property, being pleasantly located.
Don't fail to attend the sale.
A GREAT FLOOD—MUCH DAMAGE TO
Real and Personal Property—The Broad Top
Rail Road Bridge Partly Destroyed—The River,
Muddy Run and Crooked Creek on a ugh.—Rain
began to fall, very gently, on Monday evening
of last week, about half-past six o'clock, and
continued to fall, throughout the night, with
out cessation, and as morning approached, the
steady patter was changed to a heavy dash at
intervals of every hour, until twelve o'clock.
In the meantime the river and Muddy Run be
gan to rise, Very rapidly, and to threaten a
general destruction of everything that had
penetrated too far over their banks. By two
o'clock the river had risen six or eight feet
and was carrying large quantities of drift upon
its bosom. The Broad Top Bridge became the
centre of attraction as it was thought it would
go every minute. We visited it, and found it
giving from the effects of the terrible weight
which was brought to bear against it. A tres
tle pier beneath the truss bridge was the first
to give way, then large masses of timber accu
mulated along the north trestle approaching
the "truss," the resistance was truly grand,
but at last bench after bench gave way, until
about the one half was carried down the stream•
But the stringers and track continued to hold
up the trestle to its place, where it still re
mains. The north trestle had been similarly
besieged, but it was no go. It stood without
yielding an inch. Great rafts of drift wood
would strike it, but it shook it off and sent it
whirling down the stream like chaff before the
wind. Fortunately the county bridges were
not damaged in the least.
In the meantime, all the gardens in the rear
of Portstown were covered with water, hogs
were hustled out, and pig-styes and fences went
twirling, and snapping, and plunging down the
destructive element. Hundreds of persons had
assembled, on the various bridges, to witness
the old "Blue Juniata" on a bust, and most
grandly did it entertain them. An arm struck
out across the McCahan field to shake hands
with Crocked Creek. They met, embraced,
and jointly assaulted the Agricultural Socie
ty's Fair Ground fence and carried it right
handsomely. Another arm struck into Mc.
Murtrie's field and carried trees and drift innu
merable upon the golden grain. United below
with turbulent Stone Creek, the valley was
covered from the railroad to the shelving
rocks with nothing but one broad expanse of
water. Stone Creek was dammed back, cov
ering all the lots between Second street and
Creek with from three to eight feet of water.
Hill street, cast of the Gas Works, was covered
with at least six feet. The canal was pouring
over into the river, at a hundred places, the
surplus which it could no longer contain. Mud
dy Run bad become a roaring river, and swept
down in front of Fisher & Sons' mill where its
egress was stopped by the canal, and it form
ed into a great artificial lake, swelling up into
the residence of the Wilson heirs three or four
feet, and several feet into the Washington
House. but otherwise doing little or no dam
age.
The rain in the meantime had slackened,
and half the town were passing from point to
point to see the wonder a few hours had
wrought. At seven o'clock the river was at
its highest point, and continued to fall through
out the night, and by seven o'clock on Wed
nesday morning it had receded at least three
feet. Portstown had spent an anxious night,
as fears were entertained that the several dams
up the river might break and subject them to
still worse losses. We have not heard of any
loss of life. Squire Womelsdorf, living in the
valley below the junction of Stone Creek with
the river, lost a large amount of garden truck
and almost his entire crop. Mr. Logan, on
Megurtrie's farm, was equally unfortunate.—
We have heard of very little damage further
down the river.
The principal sufferers, in Portstown, were
James Port, Wm. Hatfield, who was obliged
-to -mayo out or nis noose, Attain natneto,
Morningstar, sr., Jno. Morningstar, jr., Wm.
Fentiruan, Samuel Prough, Thomas White,
John Hasty, Collyer, the painter, Jos. West
brook, Ed. Showalter, Levi Hatfield, George
Hatfield, Jane Costlier, Thomas Westbrook,
(the water was at least three feet in the lat
ter's stable,) John Bunn, David Deniser, Cal
vin Walker, and George Havens. The losses
of these parties consisted principally of the
destruction of their gardens, fences and out
buildings. The gardens, where the wash.was
not too great, may recover. A vast quantity
of filth was washed away, which ought to in
crease the sanitary condition of the town very
much. A few houses suffered in lower Hun
tingdon, in the neighborhood of the Gas
Works, but none seriously. The water rose
about eleven feet in the river. The Broth Top
bridge has been repaired and everything is in
running order. The water was not as high,
by several feet, as it was in 1851, but it was
high enough to arouse the "oldest inhabitant,"
especially if that venerable personage was a
resident of Portstown.

ARRESTED FOR HORSE STEALING—On
the seventeenth instant Samuel Hirst and La
fayette Weaver, of Woodcock Valley, this coun
ty, were arrested, brought to Huntingdon and
committed by Esqurie Murry for trial for the
larcerny of a horse from Mr. Allison Norris on
the sth inst. The parties to the case are all
residents of this county and gentlemen of good
standing, heretofore, in their neighborhoods.
As we understand it, this case is the result of
a horse trade, the story running about as fol
lows Early last fall Mr. Norris and Mr.
Weaver traded horses ; Mr. Weaver believing
himself "cheated" in the trade took the horse
he received from Mr. Norris back to the latter's
barn, hitched him there, and took the horse
be traded Mr. Norris from the premises to his
own stable. Mr. Norris brought suit at Janury
court, recovered the horse taken by Weaver,
and sold the one left by the latter as an es
tray. Mr. Weaver, dissatisfied with the turn
affairs had taken appealed to a lawyer who
counseled him to get possession of the horse
he traded to Mr. Norris. In accordance with
this advice Mr. Weaver and Mr. Hirst on the
night of the seventeenth weal to Mr. Norris'
pasture field and took therefrom a horse (or
rather a mare) which proved to be a black in
stead of a sorrel which orriginally belonged to
Mr. W. Having secured the animal they took
her to Morrison's Cove, Blair county, and sold
or traded her to a Mr. Shoemaker in whose
possession she was found. For this offense
the parties were arrested and bound over as
above stated, but were admitted to bail on the
following day. Such is the story as we gath
er it from parties present at the hearing, but
we hereby caution any who expect to bejurors
against "committing themselves" on the
strength of the above report.—Monitor.
CHILD DROWNED.—A male child, aged
about two years, of Mr. Samuel A. Steel, of
this place, fell, unobserved, into a cistern, on
Tuesday of last week, and drowned before its
absence was discovered. Owing to the heavy
rain during the morning the cistern had filled
up, and as there was no outlet for the surplus
water, save by allowing it to escape over the
top, it was left open for this purpose, and the
little one, no doubt, childlike, unconsciously

TYRONE.—We spent the better part of
last Friday in Tyrone, and through the cour
tesy of the editor of the herald, we were
shown the various places of interest from
which we could, to a great extent, judge of
the enterprise of the place. The banking
house of Lloyd, Caldwell & Co., which con
tains the bank and the postoffice, is a very fine
structure, and the postoffice is the best arrang
ed on the route between Harrisburg and
Pittsburgh and would be a credit to any city
of ten or fifteen thousand inhabitants. Mr.
Plummer, the gentlemanly postmaster, can
thank Mr. Caldwell for his comfortable guar
teis. The building is well arranged through
out and has an air of completeness about it
that characterizes the liberal gentleman that
is at the head of it. Mrs. Walker's Millinery
Store is a very handsome affair, and on a much
larger scale that anything of the kind we have
in Huntingdon. We looked into quite a num
ber of stores and found them well arranged
and their wares attractively displayed. The
open glass fronts are much better designed
than those of Huntingdon and exhibit the
goods to a much better advantage. A jewelry
establishment pleased us very much. It is a
real object of interest and taste and athousand
times ahead of Huntingdon. The Red Hens'
Hall is very tastefully and artistically fitted
up. The frescoing, by a member of the order,
is very well executed. The Steam Tannery of
D. L. Ray, Esq., is a mammoth affair andturns
out a vast quantity of superior leather. We
would undertake to describe it but W. W.
Brown, Esq., of the Republican, preceded us
and he left nothing for us to do. It is one of
the largest establishments of this kind in
Central Pennsylvania. The Cigar Manufac
tory of Pitcher & Co. is a regular Bee-hive
and speaks well for the place. The Neptune
Hose Carriage is a beautiful little machine.
Capt. Brainerd and his boys feel very proud
of it and they ought to. The residence of
D. T. Caldwell, Esq., and the surroundings
are very fine. The architecture is faultless,
and no means have been spared to make
them attractive. Mr. Caldwell appears to be
the life of the place. His taste and generous
disposition cannot help but impress themselves
upon the town for many years to come. It is a
great pity that a number of towns we could
mention are not filled with Caldwells. Prof.
Smeigb has a very neat and cozy residence on
Washingtown Avenue, in fact there are quite
a timber of buildings that belong to modern
architecture that help to adorn the place.
Huntingdon on the other hand is remarkable
for square box houses, that have not the
cozy appearance nor the attractivenes that
characterizes other towns. We hope that
persons building here in the future, who
desire to make their residences attractive,
will visit some of our neighbors and intro
duce a much more showy architecture.
We thank Mr. Brainerd for his attention to
us and we assure him that we will recipro
cate when lie comes this way.

Ma. EDITOR :—Being a constant reader of
your valuable paper, I have never noticed any
communication from "Shaver's Creek Valley ;"
and hence, in order that you may know the
valley still exists, Ihave concluded, (with your
permission) to trouble your readers with some
few remarks about it; for we think it cannot
be surpassed as a grain raising district. "Sha
ver's Creek" was settled in 1791 by a Mr.
Shaver, from whom it derives its name. It
extends from Petersburg to Greenwood Fur
naces, a distance of twenty miles ; and is not
much unlike a triangle in shape. It is abun
dantly watered by Stone and Shaver's Creeks,
with their numerous affluents ; all of which
have excellent facilities for water power. But
we regret that we have no really enterprising
men to make the use that should bemade of these
facilities of nature. The soil is no less diver
sified than the surface of the country. From
the very best of limestone to the most ordina
-17 -.4.e %.1 Au W. L.. A • aua.l Da U. 1.1 Of
which is adapted to agricultural purposes.
The limestone soil is very prolific, and re
munerates our farmers amply for their labors.
Our mineral resources are limited to that of
iron ore; which is of an excellent quality. But
we have only one furnace to consume the vast
amount of mineral wealth. There is quite an
opportunity here for men of capital and energy
enough, to seize it with a determination of
doing something. When you talk to our far
mers of manufactories, or anything requiring
the coveted gold, they push their hands into
their pockets, where lies the almighty dollar,
and say with a sigh—"l am afraid it will not
pay." The geological features of Shaver's
Creek are of the most various kind and in
teresting character. It contains all the old
secondary rock formations, from the lower
limestone up to the carboniferous series, in
regular succession, but so intricately involv
ed by multiplied lines of elevation and de
pression, that a minute and detailed descrip
tion shall not be attempted. It is truly a val
ley of enchanting. beauty; and nature has
furnished it bountifully for us; all taken to
gether presents a highly beautiful, varied and
picturesque scenery. The view from the hills
embrace more pleasing objects than are usu
ally met with in a single prospect. Mountains,
hills, farms, towns and streams are blended
in one, wide and harmonious landscape, over
which the eye may rove for hours and still
discover new beauties. As additional attrac
tions may be mentioned, pure and wholesome
water, a cool and refreshing atmosphere, and
a climate remarkable for its salubrity. After
giving you so brief a description of Shaver's
Creek, we will notice the farmers prospect,
which is really discouraging. They are not
croakers, but the grain is extremely poor ; not
more than one-third of a crop, on au average.
The grass crop, which is now being cut is
equally unpromising, some farms in a manner
will not have any altogether they seem to be
well satisfied. We had intend to give you
some general news, but fearing we will occu
py to much space we will reserve that for
again, as we intended from time to time to
give you the manners, fashions and politics of
this vicinity. More anon. SPARTA.

THE LEWISBURG, CENTRE AND TY
RO. Remnosn.—A correspondent, at Warri
orsmark, writes us as follows in regard to the
letting of this road. Ile says:
"The contracts for the grading of the Lew
isburg, Centre and Tyrone Railroad have been
given to Miller, Hoover and Glasgo, four miles
to each, in the order named, ending at Penn
sylvania Furnace. The work is to commence
on the Ist of July. In fact the work has al
ready commenced. The timber is being cut
off and the line cleared for the contractors. It
runs close to this place, notwithstanding the
numerous reports that we were left out in the
cold. The Company has adopted the central
route, which is the shortest and will develope
the mineral resources of this township, which
are very rich. Parties from Pittsburg and
Danville are already looking after ore. The
road has not been let from Pennsylvania Fur
nace to Boalsburg, a distance of eighteen or
twenty miles, but there is no doubt that this
small gap will be speedily put under contract,
as it is necessary to complete the direct route
to New York, over which the Central desires
to carry the Cumberland and Allegheny coal."

LITERARYNOTICES—What The Graph
ic among English magazines, The Aldine is
among American magazines, the difference in point
of artistic excellence being generally in favor of
The Aldine. It is certainly so in the July number
of the latter, the illustrations of which are of a
more varied character than any hitherto publish
ed. The full-page frontispiece, "Patriotic Educa
tion," by F. Beard, is a spirited relization of a
Fourth of July night. It represents a buxom lit
tle baby, holding a blazing Roman-candle, fasci
nated by, but afraid of, its spouting sparks. Her
father steadies her hand, while her brother looks
on admiringly, with more fire-works, and waits
his turn to show what he can do. Facing this is
"King Witlaf's Drinking Horn," by A. Kappcs,
group of jovial monks who have evidently morti
fied the flesh with the best that their refectory af
fords, and whose thirst appears to bo unquenchable.
Then come two mountain pictures, "View in the
Surenen Pass, Switzerland," and "The Loffler
Peak, Tyrol," and another full-page illustration.
"A Shipwreck on the Coast of Dieppe," after T.
Weber. From John S. Davis we have "Blowing
Hot and Cold," a charming glimpse of child-life,
to which the engraver has not done full justice ;
and from C. E. Townsend, "Puss Asleep," a like
ness of a cat as fine in its way as his famous dog's
head in the March Aldine. The Aldine possesses
one advantage as regards its Literature, which no
other magazine can claim. It is hampered by no
traditions which it must support, and it has laid out
no specialty to which it must adhere; consequently
it is what its editor chosen to make it. 11'e can
never predict from one number what another will
be, except that it will be good, with, most likely
some new feature. The feature of the July number
is Mr. W. L. Alden's "After the Comet." It claims
to he a lecture read before the New York Histori
cal Society in 1732, and to be a veritable record of
a great catastrophe that befell the earth sixty years
before. We smile at the notion, of course, but as
we read on the verisimilitude of this record, and
its circumstantiality of details, puzzle and startle
ns. When did all this happen ? we ask, for surely
it must be true. The hoax is as clever as anything
that Poe ever wrote. In the shape of fiction there
is an agreeable story, “En Miniature," a transla
tion from the German of Elize Polko, by Mrs. M.
A. P. Humphreys ; "In the Garden," a chatty lit
tle sketch by Betsy Drew; and the "The Scissor
Family." by Lolly Dink's Mother. From Charles
Dawson Shanley we have a pleasant paper on
"Trout Fishing;" from Julian Hawthorne a char
acteristic essay on "Shadows," and from Miss E.
B. Leonard, a womanly plea on "Woman in Art—
Rosa Bonlieur." The editorials are as bright and
fresh as ever, "Patriotism and Powder," being as.
sensible as it is seasonable, and "Puss Asleep,'
and "December and May," models of light chatty
writting. Mr. Henry Morford contributes a strik
ing poem. "Two Queens in Westminster;" Mr.
W. W. Bailey, au airy little lyric, "Thistle Down,"
and Henry Richards an unrhymed and apparently
faithful version of "Two Gazels of Haim" The
subscription price is $5.00 per annum, which in
cludes a superb Oil Chromo, and the publishers
are James Sutton & Co.. 23 Liberty Street, N. Y.
Scribner's Monthly opens with an article on
West Point, from the pen and pencil of Benson J.
Loosing. It is historical, voraphical,aneedotal,
and statistical. The third is also the concluding
part of "Draxy Miller's Dowry," a thoroughly
American story, by Saxe Holm. This author's
name is new, but if he (or she?) will write a novel
anything as good, Scribner it Co. may be able to
sell 20,000 copies of it. Charles Dudley Warner
gives the seventh of his racy "Back Log Studies"
—racy and truthful. Mrs. Peterselia has an in
teresting paper, with illustrations, upon spiders.
W. C. Wilkinson closes with a third paper—his
criticism on Professor Lowell's Prose. When will
the critic produce any even half SO good ? There
is a lively paper by Fanny Howell on "Woman as
a Smuggler and Woman as a Detective." In "the
pleasant," chatty articles on "Home and Society,"
is on summer drinks, in which (page 375) it is
said: 'Terry is a delicious beverage made from
cherries." The fact is, however, that Perry is
made from pears, precisely as cider is made from
apples, and is produced in the counties of Here
ford, Worcester, Gloucester, and Devon, where the
best English cider is made. The only liquor from
cherries is produced, not by fermentation, but by
distiilatibn, and is called Kireelienteasser. It is
made in Germany, chiefly in the Black Forrest, is
very alcoholic, and is highly charged with byciroci
anie acid from the kernals of the fruit.

Nia..—Advertising alone does not produce suc
cess. The thing which is advertised must
have intrinsic merit, or else large advertising
will eventually do it more harm than good. If
you have anything which you know to be
good, advertise it thoroughly, and you will be
sure to succeed ; if it is poor, don't praise it,
for people will soon discover you are lying.
Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON ROUTE,
which runs to three great regions in the West :
Ist, To Omaha, connecting with the great Pa
cific Roads. d, To Lincoln,the capital of Ne
braska, Platte, filled with R. R. lands and home
steads. 3d, To St. Joseph, Kansas City and all
Kansas points.
The roads are splendidly built, have the
best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform
and coupler, and the safety air brake (to pre
vent the loss of life that is every where else
happening) ; Pullman's sleepers, Pullman din
ing cars, large and powerful engines (to make
quick time and good connections), and are in
a word the best equipped roads in the West.
So that if you desire to go safely, surely,
q_ickly and comfortably to any point in
Southern lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, or on the
Pacific Roads, be sure that you go "By Way of

HON. IVm. B. LEAFS, of Huntingdon
county, Pa., who has owned land within our
city limits since 1857, paid us a visit last
week. Be informs us he has bad surveyed
and laid out some 54 lots of various sizes, a
portion of which front on Ohio and Michigan
avenues, between Fifth street and Broadway.
Ohio avenue forms the northern boundary of
his property. On the east are the improved
properties of C. B. Longwood, Mrs. Voulk and
others ; and at the south is that of Dr. Jani
son. Broadway passes quite near this prop
erty, on the west, and is being rapidly graded
and built up with very fine private residences.
These lots are admirably located in a rapidly
improving district of the city, and afford a
good opportunity to persons wishing to secure
good locations for building. They are now
offered for sale, and those who call upon A. A.
Higinbotham, Esq., the agent of Mr. Leas, will
be shown a plat of the whole property as
divided into lots, and be able to select such
as will best suit them.—Learenworth Commer

How IT COMES.—Many persons sup
pose that a large paper, with three times the
reading matter contained in the old Journal
and American, costs no more to publish it than
the latter, because the subscription price re
mains the same. This is a mistake. It costs
at least one-half more, and this extra cost
must be made up on advertising, but thep rices
for advertising are no higher, and there is
but little, if any more, advertising, conse
quently we must charge for many things that
were formerly published gratuitously. Will
politicians and those who want to make money
out of politics or secure political honors, re
member this when we present our bills for
personal advertising? The man who wants
to make money out of politics has as much
right to pay the printer as the man who wants
to make money out of dry-goods, grocer
ies, kc. tf.
ONE CENT POSTAL CARDS.—The new
postal bill, which became a law just before
the session closed, makes some changes in the
existing postal regulations which are of gener
al interest. The most important is the author
ization of one cent postal cards for correspon
dence or printed circulars, similar to those
which were introduced in Great Britian nearly
two years ago, and are now in use in nearly
all European countries. The house provided
in the bill for cards, with paper flap, to cover
and conceal the writings. The Senate chang
ed this to an open card. In the conference
committee the style of the ciffd was left to the
discretion of the Postmaster General, who
prefers the open card, and will order that kind
only to be manufactured. The face of the card
will bear a one•cent stamp, and will be pro
vided with lines for the address, and the back
will be ruled for the letter. The price of th e
card and stamp will be only one cent. It will
probably be three or four weeks before they
will be ready for sale, as the plates for print
ing have yet to be prepared.
The postage on circulars, newspapers and
other transient printed matter, which, under
the old law was two cents for every four ounces
or less, is now one cent for every two ounces or
less ; small circulars, which formerly cost two
cents to mail, can now be sent for one cent—
an important reduction to business men who
use the mails largely to advertise their busi
ness. The change is now in force, the law
being immediate in its effects.
CASTORIA—a substitute for Castor Oil
a family physic which is pleasant to take and
does not distress or gripe, but is sure to operate
when all other remedies have failed. It is a
purely vegetable preparation, containing neith
er Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol, the result
of fifteen years experimenting by Doctor Sam
uel Pitcher. It is perfectly harmless and far
more effective than Pills, Narcotic Syrups or
Castor Oil. By soothing the system it pro
cures natural sleep, and is particularly adapt
ed to crying or teething children. It kills
Worms, cures Stomach, Aches, Constipation,
Flatulency and Derangement of the liver. No
family can afford to be without this article. It
costs but 35 cents—ask your druggist to get
for you, and he will always keep it. july3 4t.
