Suicide .op an Insane Man.—A cor- respondent of the Harrisburg Patriot, j writing from Millerstown, 'perry county, ;;i December 7, furnishes, that paper with S tile following particulars of a suicide in ij that vicinity: ijs On the night of the 12th of November, i banc;Himes left his home in, Uillers ■ lowu during a fit of insanity produced ” ■ y ,(he too frequent use of intoxicating ’.Jj drinks, since which time nothing had' | been heard of his whereabouts. This ,i morning, while two boys were skating on the canal at the lower end of town, they discovered his body under the ice. A Jury was empauneled, who rendered a verdict that Isaac Himes had come to [bis death by deliberately drownieg him [self on the 12tb|of November, 1872. The nlecensed was a’paiuter by trade. His age (Was about forty years. His family oon is/sied. of a boy aged six years. I Celery as Medicine.—The Doylcs- Mown Democrat , in Us last issue, says [Celery is In season, and it is asserted of [it that it is one of the most potent antl | nervine remedies known. Until recent ly, It was said of oelery that it possessed | no medicinal qualities, biitA writer In a [leading plctoral asserts that be has r'knowu "many men, and women, too, |who, from various causes, have become Isomuch affected With mn'VousnetM, that Iwhen they stretched out their hands Itliey shook like aspen leaves on a windy [day, who by a dally moderate use of the | blanched foot stalks,-or the celery leaves !ai a salhd, became as strong ,aiid steady jlu llmba as pthor people. jCjijlv? I others so very nervous that the least (an noyance put them In a state 1 of nervous agitation, who.wero lu nlmost constant perplexity and Tear, and'who were ef fectually cured by a daily use of celery.” It is said to be a cure for palpitation of the heart also. 1 Paid Locals.—The following sensible artloie 'ivel.lake from one of our exchan ges, audheurtily endorse every line it contains. It Is true to (be .letter, and should be carefully read, especially by thosej who are everlastingly bothering tha printer for gratuitous locals 1 : 1 ■ ; j There seems to bo a-good-deal of tul?r | conception In regard’-to the use oftiia a local columns of newspapers as advert!*- I lug agencies. The proprietor of a news ■ taper depondalargely on the profits of I Ida advertising columns forsupport., The I subscription rarely pays the cost"of the I papsr. The advertising oolumne oot*tl- I lute the publisher's stock in trade—tbs I commodity whloh'he sells to the public lat stipulated prices—Just as the. merchant sells his'goods.' And yet publishers ate constantly ashed to insert gratuitously locals, notices and advertisements In aid of money-making enterprises. With Just as much propriety might, the merobant’. ho asked to donate goods from his ooun lor in aid of thoso enterprises—a favor that few would think of asking. The! sooner the public get a correct under standing of this matter, the better. All local news of general interest, wo are glad to publish ; but we sell Che right of advertising private business, and at fixed Prices—whether this advertising be in “Id of-lectures, concerts, exhibitions, or ordinary business enterprise. Tbe wot H'at the enterprise baa a religious or moral bearing, does not give it claim.for gratuitous advertising, any more than' it does on the merchant or mechanic for’ u donation oi his goods or products.. If see tit to contribute to these enter prises, we prdfer to’do it ns other people do—iu money—demanding pay for that "bleb wo sell.

Fire.— At an early hour (about ten o’clock) on Monday night last, a fire broke out in the large stable belonging to Mr. Robert Given, immediately In the rear of his fine residence and banking house, West High street. Our firemen, with their three fine steamers, were soon on hand, and managed the Ora remarkably well by confining it to the stable alorjp. The stable being brick with a tin roof, the fire was entirely In the Inside. The wood-work, therefore, of the building, was consumed, but the walls are Istlll good, and the building can be repaired. The night was intensely cold, and the firomeu Buffared fearfully.

We learn from the Committee! having the maiter.in charge,/that the.course tickets have been pretty well taken up, and but ■a few remain unsold; We advise per sons wishing comfortable seats for the course, to secure them at once, or they will be out. This enterprise should commend itself J to'every property-holder in our borough.

We owe much to our fire department—more es-; peoially during the cold,; dreary winter mouths— for their services in case of the! fiery element visiting bur property. . Dedicated to Tattlers. Ever y, community is cursed by the presence of a class of people who make it their busi ness to attend to everybody's affairs but; their own. Such people are the poorest specimens of humanity which exists! upon this blighted earth. It is well* known that almost every person is some times disposed to speak evil of others, and tattling is a sin from which very few can claim-to be exempt. Bat the objentof this present article is to speak of that distinct class of tattlers who make tale bearing the constant business of their lives. They pry into the private affairs of every family in the neighbor hood ; they kbow the exact state of one (neighbor's faults and no blunder or mis*: 'demeanor ever escapes their watchful ness. They are well posted upon every thing connected with courtship and mat rimony, and know who are going to, marry and to whom, and can guess the exaht time by every movement of par ties suspected of matrimonial intentions, and if.there, is the slightest chance to. ,create a disturbance,.excite Jealousy, or j ."break up a.match,*? they take advan ■ tugy of It, add do all in their power to keep people in a state of constant vexa tion. They glide quietly from lady to geuilemau, from mother to daughter, from father to son, and into the ears of all. they pour their Jbitter whispers of slander and abuse, and at the same time pretend to be the most sincere friends of those they talk to. Their nauseous pills of slander are sugar coated with smiles and with words of friendship. . Tattlers are confined- to no particular class, and they operate in all. We find them among the rich and poor •—.“upper ten" and "lower million" in the church and.out of it. They are peo ,ple who have no higher ambitiou-thun to be well informed in regard to otijer peo ple’s private business, to retail scandal to their neighbors, and to exult in fien dish triumphs over the wounded leelings add bruised hearts of their innocent vie R ival Insurance Company ofLiv- Elti’oOL.—The | annual ‘ meeting of the shareholders of the Royal Insurance Company was held at Liverpool Eng., on; tl}? 2d ult. The ,chairman of the Company, C. Turner, Esq., M. P.| pre sided on the ocqasioh. The annual re port showed that, the .receipts of dr.e pre miums for the year bad amounted to 12s lid, ($3,480,305), and .the idsib's hy fire',' Including Chicago losses; to £384,000 8a 6d, ($1,920,300). Alter pro- viding fob unexpired liabilities, jio., tha net profit for the year amounted to £OB - ($344,355.) The business of the year showed an Increase of £185,425 In tire premiums alone ($927,125.) A very large'proportion of this vastln cniaie of business, in one year, has been produced in thp United B(atos, where the Company is rapidly extending Its bußlheesland’/grawlng daily la popular favur. The Are reserve fund of the Royal now faippanta to iMSbVIGG ($2,4-i2,!ldOJ. This places" the Company amongst the most secure and solvent Are companies of the world. The total, assets of the ! Company are now £2,290,023 Os Bd, (sll— to' meet Its' life and Are liabili ties. Tho chairman in his speech mov- ing the adoption of the report, referred ICo .the progress of the Company in Amer ica In complimentary 'terms, and ex pressed bis belief that the people of - the iUn 1 ted.States wore patronizing 11 iat com■ pany, and others front Groat Britaih, be cause they had been found prompt in settling all claims arising from loss by Are—even in such extensive losses as those of Chicago. The entire position of tbat company places it in the front 'aid of insurance organizations; and while the huslhssa of tfie year 1871 must be highly gratifying to the United States agents of the company, we have no doubt tbey Will still further increase their business during ’the current year, and appear in even a still more favorable, position in tho next annual report.
