THE following sensible suggestion from the Iluntingdon Hews is applicable to this town, and especially at this time : " The most deserving poor are often the very last to make known their condi tion, and not unfrequently a false delica cy prevenb3,them from appealing for aid when they are really suffering from bun ,.,oert and cold, Our people, generally, know the families and persons who would be likely to want attention, and they should not be backward in looking after them. It should be proper for each church to look after its own members. help rendered in tnis way is often more readily and cheerfully received."

CORRESPONDENT suggests that the following notice from the American Agri cultur TO, for December, may throw some light upon the letter published in the Itn ronrial of Nov. 30, in, regard to the death of a Mr. roci ELi. : "THAT DANGEROUS HOTEL, which was formerly 'in New York, ap pears to have moved over toward sun doln. Persons going to Nevada City, Cal., should be very careful in the choice of their hotel, as there is one at which peoplc.die so suddenly, that they have not even time to tell where their friend live, or what shall be done with their baggage. A - few _years ago we described the hotel dodge, but as it will be new to many we relate a recent case. 4 A gentleman in Cy lon, Wis., received a letter as follows : "Neva.la City, Sept. 16, 18:6. W. 0., Esq , Dear Sir: On the 19th of last lnentb, a gentletnan stopped at my hotel, registering his name (we give only ini tials) as D. F. G. Two days ago he DILI) vEItY st:DDENLY of apoplexy (how very precise). Not k6wing anything of his relatives, I ex amined his trunk, and found it to contain a very tine gold watch and chain, two sliver mounted revolvers, agold ring, and many other valuables. 1 also found some papers adoress.'ed to W. G., Cyfon, On seeing this; and supposing you to be home 'dative, I concluded to write to you, - as the trunk is a very valuable one, and 'Sou are evidently'the proper person to have it. I would 'also say that. Mr. G. owes me a balance of ..:20.50, for board bill, etc. Please remit to me the above amount.'by registered letter,-with instruc tions to what point you want the trunk shipped, and I will forward it to you at once. !Address, 'l'. A. LArmitur, Neva da Nevada county. California." The Wisconsin gentleman Who received the above, having a relative in California, did not wish 'to ignore the matter alto gether, but took the precaution to place the letter in the bands of a business man in Nevada, who of course found it to ho bare-faced attempt at swindling, and that great-numbers of similar letters had been sent hut all over the country. The insti gator of the scheme is well known in Ne vada, as a person who formerly had a "lott„lrs." with its headquarters in that place. Thc.thing is so tralisparent, that the mere exposure of it is tqlicient, to de- ; ter seusiblepershns front sending montt3; in iesponse to such letters; as for persons of the other kind nothing will deter them. It is now live or six years since one COLLIN WATER was sending out letters flout New York, that were almost word ftir wurd like the above. It is a little short-sighted in these would-be swindlers, not to know that the -dist question of a relative who received such a letter, would Lt , " What have they done w ith the body:'" If buried there 'were charges, and a trunkful of valuables would hut be sent off on the mere payment of a bOard bill. We have. first anti last, seen a num ber of these letters, and had that io every ea.-e, the person who died soddenly, has a ,vi.luitb:e gold watch and chain, silver-, mounted revolvers, gold ring," etc. This leads to an i!eportant deduction._ If you ould avoid sudden death, don't travel • with valuables in your trunk.
