COLL - MBIA, PA NOTIONS, &c., There is no malady which causes so large a mortality as consumption. Statistics show that, throughout the civilized world, an average of one death in six, every six in the lists of mortality, may be attributed to its agency. Though our own town shows a smaller average front this scourge, yet it is cotnputed that even hero it is the muse of one death in every tell. It was formerly considered an incurable disease, and was often left hopelessly to run its fatal course unchecked ; but modern investigation and science have proved that the tubercular de posit, to which all its dread results may be traced; --fl,equerillY't,Alatinisti- F,uitable treatment. This is further proved by post tnorteut examinations, w•heredeath has occurred from other causes, in which the lungs, scarred and puckered, attested the healthy closing of two and et-en three large tubercular cavities. Few are aware how much the prevention and even cure of this dread disease depends upon their own efihrts. An eminent American citizen has recently declared that, with proper precau tions by any one now in health, consump tion will be well nigh an impossibility, even though hereditary influences may pre dispose him to it, and that even those who are already under its grasp may 'ha ve hope of arresting Its ravage.. The plain and simple principle, which in this case is the essence of all-wise treatment, is to raise the physical system to the Rightet possible vigor. In company with this one of the best curatives and preventives is to expand and strengthen the lungs themselves by deep inspirations of breathing in of pure air. These inspirations should be made as slowly its possible through a small tuba Or with the mouth nearly closed, nod with the shoulders thrown back and downwards. When the lungs or eln'-k is filled, the air should be as slowly and gradually breathed out. By continual practice it will be found easy to take long and deep inspirations, and the chest itself will become permanent ly expanded, so as give the lungs fuller play. Where strength has begun to de cline, the efforts wust he proportionally milder. As the air at first enters the lower part of the lungs it only fills the apex tatter a long and sustained eflort, and hence. the necessity of making the inspiration as slow its possible. Six tittles a day in the open air is not to much for this exercise. Indeed, the great advantage of mild or dry climate to consumptives is the possibility of phasing so much Of the time out of doors. Much is justly said of the pure and bracing air of Minnesota, hut those who go tiler a for tang diseases should reinenibei• that only as they breathe the pure outside air habitually eall it prove beneficial. A lady whit tubular deposits and severe though went there some time since, and a month spent in the oteli littry Way brou_tht her no improvement, She then joined It a sniping party of ladies and genttenten, who :4:need is an open wagon, and slept in tents at Mein. After three days' exposure to this open air she manifestly improved, and, though frequent ly exposed in the evening, took no cold. The continuance of this mode of life re stored her health and so strengthened her constitution that in two months she could sleep with impunity while the air was blow ing freely across her. Many similar, and evert more remarkable instances took place among the young men of oar artily in the late war, many of whom enlisted against the advice of their friends, and re turned with greatly improved physical con stitutions. The exercise thus induced is most essential to the desired cot'. Abundauce of nutritous and wholesome food, including fatty articles, is essential in the arrest of consumption. Most of those who have such tendencies reject fat meat, but its place may be supplied with butter, milk or cream. Restriction in diet in these closes is highly injurious. The dress is also a matter bearing strongly on the health of the lungs. Woolen fabrics worn next to the skin, and warm covering for the extremities are all important. So also is the shape of the garment, which shold allow full play to the muscles. Relief from care and anxiety as far its it can be secured, is important, but oven where this is impossible attention to the other requisites, so simple as to be with in the power of every intelligent person, will in many eases prevent end in most in cipient eases arrest the progress of this most distressing of all maladies. PRICES MEER Tim Gardener's Mont/ay says that if the people of the United States all care to be come successful grope growers they must recognize the fact that the roots of the grape vjno can scarcely be kept too dry, and that Or very best way to accomplish this on flat land is to raise the soil above the nat ural level. c elerted `l,),octrtt.

Woman Suffrage—Whitt it Means— Opposition to the Present Legal ,Marriage System. The Chicagoan, a woman's organ, pub lished in the City of „Easy Divorce, thus frankly explains what, the woman suffrage movement means: "The genius of the so-called woman's movement is not generally comprehended. It means women's complete enfranchise meitt and emancipation from the control of her masculine master. It means the dis severance of her present dependent relation to man and the establishment of her rights as a seperate anti independent individual being, laden with the privileges and re sponsibilities that inhere in her as the mother of immortal beings. It means the recognition of her supreme right to the di rection nnd control of affairs relating to her affections] and sexual nature; that she will cease to be the mere instrument of umn's pleasure and the Inediiim of transmitting his 0'32P4.20 posterity: It' mesas the abol islinient of numerous usages and fashions that • foster and feed men's passions 'until they have contol of his being, requiring the continuous sacrifice of woman on the altar of lust. it means that the selection of com panions in the most sacred relation of the sexes shall not be the exclusive prerogative or man—if, indeed, as physiological laws mad comparison would seem t a indicate, the first right to woo be not surrendered to woman. It means the acknowledgment of woman's sovereignly in the parental real m; and that in all cases of difference in mat ters or mutual interest and Maternal au thority shall be first and dominant. • Such is the ultimate of the present move ment in behalf of woman, and only to this will it content east. Whether it be sooner or later depends on the wisdom, the courage and the strength of its advocates. It is plain that unassisted woman cannot speedily accomplish the work. Repressed and dwarfed by false teachings and worse customs through the ages it is wonderful that she should have wisdom, courage, or strength even to take an humble partontach inure to inaugurate the grand work of in statement in the high places from which the might of titan has held her. Site is un tutored in the school of external life; deli cate, weak, sensitive to the extremest ten sion and susceptible to the influence of every wind Or false dootrine and sentiment; jealous of her sister hood, and only a few of her sex, comparatively, umierstanding the falseness and degradation of her position. The chivalrous ones of the now dominant sex must uphold and assist the brave woman who have already declared fur in dependence. Thousands of other women will rush to the front as soon as the vast work of this revolution shall have been fairly commenced. Women must demand her rights in the line we have indicated or her ettorts toward the improvement of her condition will be a bortive, or at least only partially success ful. No hall way measures will avail. Thu revolution must be complete. This the women of the broadest views, who are in the vanguard of the movement, clearly understand ; and it is their wisest policy to follow the lead of principle and use no holt r4s the favor and assistaiwe of men, who other- Wise would spurn them. Demand all, and they will gel More 01110 by asking kaily the hillier that which they k - now they should have. The sootier the issue is joined, and the position of the respective parties in this "irrepressible conflict" is clearly and fully understood, the sootier will the grand tri umph be accomplished, for triumph will surely come, though the struggle may be at the best bitter and protracted." On this platform does the Chicagoan es pouse the cause of woman, and throws into the scale all the strength and influence it possesses. We hereby warn all who are favorably inclined to '• woman suffrage," that, in Its granting, the knife is placed at the throat of the present legal marriage sys tem. Those who would preserve this by-s -tet. iovioloto, as the keystone of the arch of social safety, should understand this. Our Printing-0111re Experience.

(We supposed lie had had a. geed breakfast 4 After uur introduc tion, be told us that wo could walk about town until noon and take a look at things, after which ho Would see what, be could do in the way of making a printer out of us.

The first day, and the second, too, we got as tired as the mischief in both legs, but we resolved to stick to it, and we have.

These are some of the thiugs our " boss" tells us, and we are going to try and follow his,advice.--Caodiridge (Md.) llerald. • Nor FOR Jos,—Among some revival songs recently published in England, is one by N 1 Miura Weaver, the noted lay preach er, the first verse of which is us follows : I've give toy neart to Jesus, And mean to keep It sol If the devil Wants to have It all, tell littli—"N of for Joe," Make Your Will. A man has no right to act in disregard to the fact that all individual human life is uncertain ; that accident if not disease may hurry any one of us out of the world at an unexpected moment. There are few who, in anticipation of death, would not wish to direct us to the disposal of property left be hind. The law does indeed make wise and just provisions, of general principles, for ordinary cases, distributing the property in equitable proportion among the natural heirs. But even if one would prefer to make precisely the legal distribution, is there no choice as to who will be executor? Make your will, and you can appoint your known and tried friend, so that your estate will be carefully settled and made the most ef; die without a will, and souse one may be made administrator whom you would by no means choose, and whose incapacity or dis honesty may waste the estate. Every man, therefore, who has any prop erty whatever, be he okkoeyoung, , should make his will without twenty-fora• hours' delay ; for he knoweth not" what a day will bring forth." The idle sopersition, that death will be hastened by making a will, surely can not operate with men of comtnon sense. To be ready for death in every re spect (and no one is thus ready, who has not made his will) must operate rather to prolong titan to abridge life, since it removes a burden of care and anxiety. In all ordinary cases a man can write his own will with safety. The wills which pro duce la watt its are usually made by lawyers. Write down in plain English, as you would tell it to a neighbor, what you wish done with your property after death, using the legal title of all institutions which you cle sire to remember in it, and after declaring this to be your last will and testatnent. sign it in the presence of three witnesses ( with out reading it it you choose) who should ltin X their signature to a sentence stating that they sign it in the presence of the tes tator and of one another.

With his eye fixed upon the highest point, and with an upward gesture that seemed to be directed to the loftiest attitude orate heavenly places, he said : "And Where, my brethren, shall we seat the great Apostle of the Gentiles?—where, I say, shall we place the Apostle Paul?"

Judge Barrett, of the Court of Common Pleas, special term, has just rendered an important decision in relation to to forged cheek, which materially differs front former decisions in analogous cases. It appears that a swindler .bought front the Ridgely National Bank of Springfield, 111., a genu ine bill of exchange for b 20.20 on the Nation al Park Bank of this city. The name or the fictitious payee, the words and figures "Twenty 20-100," and the name of the drawer were erased by :acids. The draft was then filled up by in serting other names, and the amount of $6400 tilled in. The swindler then went to Nashville, Tennessee, where the bill wits accepted by the Third National Bank or that place, who indorsed it to the Fourth National Bank of this city. The latterpre sented it to the National Park Bank, who innocently accepted the draft. Upon dis covering the fraud, the National Park Bank demand repayment of the Fourth National Bank. The court decides that tho latter is responsible to the Park Bank, and that a subsequent action may he brought against the Nashville bank which first ac cepted the forged draft.—N. Y. Pull. Improvement in the New York Ju eary. The New York Judiciary is looking up. Three mouths ago it seemed beneath Ow contempt of all hottest men. The pulpit and the press and the people vied in their denulleillfilMS Or it. New, whether it be the result of a natural reaction front the lowest ebb, whether the sting of the press or the lash of the pulpit or the contempt of honest men has effected the change, it Is certain that there is all improvement. At least two New York Judges have girded themselves tbr it determined tight with oriole. Recor der Ifackett and Judge Bernard. although their lives are daily threatened by bullies and assassins, are cntitreing the sternest penalties of the law in manner that deserves and receives admiration. The name of Judge no longer "stinks," to use Beecher's strong expression, and there are hopes th a t, the moral atmosphere of New York uatty be a little purified without the old of Vigilance Committees. We Fade. extract the following beautiful and truthful illustration from an exchange: As the trials of lite thicken, and the dreams of other days fade, one by one in the deep vista of disappointed hope, the heart grows wean• of the struggle, and we begin to real ize our insignificance. Those who have climbed to the pinaele of fame, or revel in luxury and wealth, go to the grave at Ms; with the poor mendicant who bugs by the wayside, and like hitn are soon forgotten.

They passed away as a vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of beauty as;w•heu the Creator commanded her to be. And so shall It be when we are gone. The heavens will be as bright over our grave as they are now around our path; the world will have the same attraction for off.springs yet un born that she had once for ourselves, and that She has now for our children. $2,00 Per Year, in Advance; $2,50 if not Paid in At."nee. Al Singularly Affecting; Slur} When the war broke out, says the Toledo Commercial, there lived in Cincinnati an holiest, industrious, and happy German faintly. The husband and father enlisted in the army in response to one of the first calls tin• men, and served faithfully during many long and weary nine( ha without visit ing his home. His conduct in the army was such as to meet with the approbation of his superiors, and he was finally promoted to a captaincy. Just before the butt), .or Gettysburg he obtained leave of absence for the purpose of visiting home, and Wroto to his devoted wife that he would certainly be home on the following Thusday, requesting her to be sure and meet hint at the train. The next day the army started in pursuit of Lee, who was marching into Pennsylva nia, and the gallant German Captain, in stead of going home, went with his com rades in pursuit of the invader. Ire wan in the hottest of that terrible light at Gettys burg, and when the ainoke of•batC.e clear, ed away and the dead were gathered for burial upon that consecrated ground, the German Captain was counted among the slain. The news of his death reached his home in Cincinnati, since which thine the devoted wife has been crazy, and still ex pects her husband on the next train, and by day and night—in all kinds of weather— stands in the middle of the crossing in front of her house, looking in every direction for the approach of him who will never come again. Often she will call on the Mayor and other city authorities to have officers detailed to go and watch "the train, — to see if her hus band is not coming. This strange conduct has lasted for almost six years, and the grieland trouble of the poor woman have been so great that she has turned prema turely gray, and although under thirty years of age, has the appearance or a very old person. The AhNurdity of Drinking.. It has become a sort of popular—almost national—faith that it is not possible to lie truly happy unl e ss you drink. A mongeer tain classes—and they are by no means ex elusively the lowest—drink is the beginning and end of everything. The very 1120110 of li q uor is held to be eynonymous with enjoy ment, and the dearer the liquor the more it is priz.,.d and coveted. Yet every man who is not a downright drunkard, is well aware that the pleasui es of drinking are, beyond IL certain point, a mockery, a delusion, and a snare. I put it to any one who hits stood half the night at a liar or sat half the night• in it club 15011 n, drinking, smoking and bandying reckless talk, it the enjoy mein or such an I•Vellifig has been anything like that of a few quiet. hours at home with a book or newspaper? The evil influence of tavern pleasures on health is too obvious to be denied by tiny one, and the illusory nature of the pleasures themselves would be undeniable also, it the persons who in dulge in them did not deceive themselVan and put the truth out or sight.

The Shoe (tad bcather Reporter says hog's lard is admirably adapted to secure to leath er both pliability and impermeability to water; train oil, after it, dries up, renders the leather brittle. Hog's lard renders the loather perfectly pliant, and no water can penetrate it. It is especially suitable for greasing boots and shoes, but in the summer season an eighth part of tallow should be melted with it. ft -should be laid on when in a melted state, but no warmer than one's linger dipped in the mass can bear. When it is first applied to bout or shoe, the leather should be preyiouhly soaked in water, that it :Way swell up, so that the pores can open well and thoroughly absorb the lard. The liquid lard should be smeared over, (to be water-proof,) at, least three or four times, and sole leather oftener still, After ward the lard remaining visible on the out side should be wiped ot with a rag. By this means you have a water-proof boot or shoe, without the annoyance caused by most stuffs of penetrating the leather and greas ing the stockings. An occasional coating of hog's lard is also to be recommended for patent leather boot; or shoes, as it pre vents the leather frf.in cracking, and if It be not rubbed in too strongly, the leather will just as well after the grease has been applied.
