Chian 'Up.
An exchange well remarks : "The oppres.
sive peat should - remind us that If we would
avoid, as far asinus lies, sickness, we must see
to it that there Is no breeds of sickness allowed
in our house. The newspapers grow tired of
walling upon the people to look to the condition
of their cellars and alleys. The appeals are in
vain so long as each one who reads them closes
his paper with the satisfaction that they do not
refer to him, and the hope that his neighbor.
ri ill take them to heart and clean up."
Spasmodic Temperance
The Towanda Rein has the following, which
is quite-significant jest begin an important
election in that county :
"What in the namt of humanity has become
of all that formidable array of temperance men
and womenof a few short weeks ago? At the
close of May term of Court there was not a
tar-room or saloon in Towanda open. How is
t now ? Shame on such professions. They
ace dispelled worldly selfishness like the dew
before a morning sun. Where is that preten
tious committee? Perhaps political aspirations
are of greater importance than the temperance
cause. We opine it is with some folks."
Susquehanna County Democrats.
The Democratic Convention of Susquehanna

the duty of every Democrat and Liberal of

ered in Lancaster on the 4th of July, the occa
sion being the unveiling of a soldier's monu

union of all portions of the nation in sympa•

monutneuf should subserve the purpose of keep
ing alive in 'he minds of the people the memo
ries of our fraternal strife, other than those
which necessarily accompanied the natural
feeling of grief at the death of those who fell
in the conflict, he urged the unportanze of the
whole nation burying the animosities of the

Settling of a Coal Mine.
A Icilkesbarre dispatch of the 91st ult., says:
Last Saturday evening, between the hours of 9
and lb o'clock, an extensive cave occurred in
the Enterprise Colliery, north of this city. The
miners discovered signs of the coming care,and
made their escape, and bail been out but a few
moments when the crash came In their hurry
they left the nudes, 25 in number, behind, but
went back after them when the ground had
ceased settling. They had seem eded in rescu
ing all, but another mire occurred,nnil cut them
off from the main opening, and they had to
make an exit through a safety opening. The
next morning the engineer, Mr. Carey, entered
the mine with a lamp, when the gas, which bad
been driven into that part by the cave, explod
ed, bruising hint severely. The surface shows a
number of cracks or 11s:sures, but none of the
h o uses, of which a numher are built over the
mine, are perceptibly Injured. An area of eight
or ten acres is included in the cave, but it has
ail settled evenly and the damage outside is
very slight. Inside of the mine it is quite seri
ou::, and will entail a loss upon the operators.—
The lowest vein worked is twelve feet thick,
and is about 350 feet from the surface. The up
per one is a nine feet vein, and has never been
worked. It cannot yet be told whether this lat
ter vein can be worked hereafter.
Qualification of Voters
The new constitution requires that every vo
ter shall have been a citizen of the United
States at least one month ; a resident of the .
State one year, (or if be shall have been a qual
ified voter and removed therefrom and return. f I

lion district at least two months, immediately I
preceding the election ; if 2 years of age or
or upwardsdre shall have paid within two years
a State or csultts tax, which shall have bean
assessed at least two months and paid at least
one month before the election. City, ward,
borough and township officers will be elected
on the third Tuesday of February ; the general
election will.be held on the Tuesday following
the first Monday in November. Under this law I.
all assessments of State and county 'MILS
should be made before the 2tl of September,
, and paid before the of October, as the gen
I.eral election this year takes place on Tuesday,
November 3d. Itsstssors, therefore, should im
mediatety attend to this important duty ; and
Ithe Democrats of every ward, township and
borough would do well to organize and appoint
committees to see that every Democratic voter
rs assmsed in time. Voters should also be prop
erty registered; although this matter is not so
pressing as the assessment, for the constitution
provides that "no elector shall be deprived of
the privilege of voting by reason of his name
{ not being registered."
How to Beep Moths oat of Carpets.
An exchange says : One can never be quite
sure that their carpets arc not being consumed
by moths, except for a few weeks after taking
than up and thoroughly cleaned unless some
thing is used :o prevent their growth or to de
stroy them. This often necessitates the taking
up and cleaning of a carpet that otherwise
would not need the renovation. With an ln•
groin or Lowell, this needless labor may be sav
ed by laying down a damp cloth, and over it
thoroughly rubbing the edges with a hot Shit
iron ; this will kilt the moths, it any have ac
cumulated. But with the tapestry, Brussels or
velvet, the ironing is not effectual ; beside it in
jures the carpet. Much hard work can be sav
ed, however, by removing the tacks, one side at
a time, rolling bade, and examining the edges.
If there are any moths, they must be brushed
off and burned ; and to effectually destroy the
life of all deposits, the edges of the carpet must
be ironed, as before stated, but on the wrong
side. The edge of the carpet lining should be
thoroughly lookeel . to, and the exposed edge of
the door washed, and while damp, sprinkled
with salt. It the carpet is to be folded under
Many place, sprinkle salt between the folds,and
see whet the Ilpor is well covered with salt for
an inch or two tinder the edge of the carpet all
around. If salt were always put under the
edges of Carpets before tacking them down,
moths would have but slight chance to trouble
them.

Qur ideas about girls are very mixed.
We think they are like perpetual motion, not

Just out of girls, and have not thought much
about them,but if we had any surplus ones,who
showed symptoms of being strong minded, we
would purchase a few Texas mustangs and let
the girls break thein'to the saddle The chances
are that we would have no girls to worry us,and
be able to state whether girls made good mater
ial for cremation purposes. Girls are sometimes
very handy to have round the house, and the
most approved way of keeping them there is
to hide their shots and stockings. One of the
most astorishinz wings known of in regard to
girls is their peculiar appetite.
If a goodlooking young man happens to be
at the same table with them, their appetite will
be more delicate then a canary bird's, whereas

A Problem
Here is a problem which we rec.-commend to
the schoolboys who are now in their vacations
and have nothing better to do than to prove
how much their studies during the past winter
have profited them ; "If a cornet that comes
no nearer to the earth than two million miles—
say a little less than eight times the distance of
the moon from our planet—can do so much
mischief as has been done by this one, what
might not have happezed if, as was at one
time promised, it had wrapped us about with
its tail ?" For, if we do not slander our pres
ent visitor, it has set Chicago on are, and has
made New Yorkers perspire enough to put
her out : it has turned Theodore Triton's bead,
and made even Ilavemeyer confess that discre
tion is the better part of mulishness ; it has
made the penny-wise people of Masstahusetts
say "dam" again,and the pound. foolish people
of our city shut up Tray, Blanche, and Sweet

is that we have no street commissioner any
longer to keep our city dirty, the streets now
being swept ns clean as if a police commission

spect our comet, not having been able to do
enough of its own proper mischieChas usurped
a power that the great poet has quoted ascribes
to the sun•in clips, who, "with fear of change
perplexes monarchs." We. thought we were
well rid of the spedepayment difficulty, but it
cannot bare escaped observation that, since
the comet has come nearer, the fear of small
change has been Perplexing our monarch in

Important to Pensioners-
The pension lawi have been so amended by,
the act approved June 18,1874, that, from and
after the 4th day of June last, all persons who,
while in the military or naval service of the
United States, and is the line of duty, wem so
permanently and totally disabled as to require' l
the regular presence, aid and attendance of an
other person, by the loss of the sight of both
eyes, or-by less of sight of one eye, the sight of
the other having been previously lost, or by the
loss of both hands, or by any other injury re
sulting in total and permanent helplessness are
entitled to.a pension of fitly dollars per month;
and this i 3 in lieu of a pension of thirty-one
dollars and twenty-fire rents per month grant
