SOMETHING FOR LADIES TO READ : The
New York Ledger says that no one can walk
through the fashionable portions of that city,
attend any place of amusement, or go to any
evening party, without becoming aware of
the horrible fact that many women, of whom
better things might be expected, have fallen
into the pernicious habit of applying to their
skins the enamels which are sold in all parts
of the land, under various attractive names.
The same remark may be applied to Lancas
ter and otht r cities and towns.
Not only faded faces, but countenances so
young, plump and pretty in outline that they
must in their natural cc:Mahlon be attractive,
are lacqured over with an unnatural polish
of porcelain, which produces an effect such as
one might imagine if a china doll were afflict
ed with consumption.
This practice is as pernicious as it is dis
gusting—the seeds of death or paralysis being
hidden in evl a fttractive pot and jar of those
mixtures, w 'ire supposed to be not only
innocent, but' so to possess the virtues of the
undiscovered fountain of perpetual youth.
Some who use them will suddenly have a
severe illness; and receiving a private warn
ing from the family physician, will cease the
use of the clause of their disorder, and recover
ing, go through life with an extremely - bad
complexion, as a reminder of their folly.
Others will drop suddenly, with their fea
tures twisted to one side, and perhaps depriv
ed of the use of their limbs. Others will die
outright, no one guessing why. The effect on
any particular person cannot be calculated.
What one suffers paralysis from, may kill
another outright. The only safety is in_ hav
ing nothing to do with any of these baleful
" preparations."
WE direct attention to the advertisement of
Messrs. Myers & Rathfon, in another column.
They have laid in their stook of Spring and
Summer Goods, and are prepared to All orders
with dispatch.

a widow, minor children or parents, in the
order named, of any soldier who shall have
died after being honorably discharged, shall

to which such soldier would be entitled if
living. All claims for bounty under the act
of July, 1866, shall be void unless presented

whether it be manly and honorable. or ungen
tlemanly and ignorantly discourteous, made its
way, held its own ; and established the well
merited reputation so universally extended to
the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. Nor is
it necessary in introducing the NY heeler A Wil

speak in any way disparagingly of others. We
claim to have A FIRST CLASS SEWING MA
CHINE, complete, (with no single extra at- !
tachments to buy after purchasing.) the best in

In taking into consideration the unequalled '
