An Unpleasant Rumor.
Our readers will remember that about the
time of the mystenous disappearance of Mr.
M. L. Truesdell, of Liberty, this county, and
who has never been heard from since, there
was found the charred remains of a person,
where a barn bad been burned, near Athens,
Bradford co., Pa. Friends of Mr. Truesdell,
were telegraphed for, and went there to solve
the mystery if possible but nothing satisfacto
ry was obtained. We copy the following late
reference to it trout the Bradford Reporter :
"An unpleasant rumor is afloat in regard to a
murder said to have been committed in :Athens,
some tithe since. It will be remembered that a
barn was burned near the village early last
Spring, and the remains of a human being
found in the ruins. No clue to the mystery•
was ever discovered, but in a quarrel among
the members of Charles Day's family last week,
a daughter charged her father with having
something to do with the affair. We have not
heard the particulars, and sincerely trust that
there may be no truth in the report."

It is a mistake to suppose that labor is an
unpleasant eondit it life, It is a mutter of
experience that there is more contentment in
attending to any kind of occupation than there
is in haiking for some occupation. Attend,
therefore, to your business, and regard your
business as being worthy or ail your attention.
Worklogn.en are opt to consider that their oc
cupations alone are laborious; but in thst mat
ter they are mistaken. Labor of mind is gen;
entity even more fatiguing than physical labor.
It is erronerous to suppose that others do not
work as well as we do, simply because their
work is different from ours. Labor is the enrth
ly of man, and until the nature of
man is changed, the want of something to do
will produce all the horrors of ennui. Gamb
ling and other reprehensible dissipations are .
all owing to the 'fact that human nature
cannot support a state of idleness. ' To live
without purpose is to lead a very restless life.

Historical Chart,
We have latch - had the pleasure of examm
ing Lyman's Ili:Omit:al Chart, a work which
we believe is destined ti take a prominent place
in our schools and libraries as an almost indis
peindbfe aid in the study 01 history. The plan
is novel and striking. It presents the world's
history by centuries, and contains all the prom
inent events of the civil, religious, and literary
history of the world, from the earliest times to
the psi-sent day. It brings the lye to the aid of
the mind by the use of a chart, In which time
is represented as a stream, flowing a certain
alloted space each century; different contempo
rary nations arc represented by different colored
streams flowing paralel ; when n nation begins,
the stream begins : when one nation conqueres
another, the stream sweeps around, blots it
out, and moves on, wider than belore. The
eveas are ail written down in tho s' ream just
when they took place, those more prominent
in larger type, those less prominent in smaller
type. The date of the century is given in large
figures at the top of each page, and the date in
that century or each event recorded; is placed
just before the event. Thus the renter has
spread out under his eyes the history of a cen
tury, and in such shape that at u glance the
mind trkes In the general aspect of the wbole
period, the lei:litre importance of each nation,
the particular history of each, and the content
puranututs history 01 all, and the mind imbibes
r.nd retains the facts which are given both to the
eye and the thought. 'I be chart is really a sue
eessful eflort arbistorical object teaching."
here arc a few examples of what is said in
its favor;
Rev. S. Robinson, D. D.,well known through
out the United States ao a leading historian,
says: "I tsould recommend •Lyinan's
lod Chart' front a ee main knotrirdve of its ha
tacusarable inciso . rNacr in acquiring distinct con
ceptions of history, by methods which years of
reading could not supply' I ant persuaded that
in one month a more competent knon ledge of
history can be gal red by its inspection that in
oar peer by any course of rending."
Prof. Calvin E. Stowe, 1). D., of Andover
Seminary, says "It affords the .same advant
age to the study of History thr4: maps do to
the study of Geography. and tAda only to be
known to be nolversady regarded as equally
indispensible."
Prof. C. a•clovelmo), of Philadelphia. says :
"flaying some years ego felt the need of some
aid to the rye in teaching history, in orier to
give an enlarged, general, and connected view
of the history of the world, I imported one or
two Historical Charts from England, but they
did not answer my expectabots, and I threw
them aside. But in Mr. Lyman's Chart I feel
that I have the very WO I have hMg wished ;
anti 1 have believed it to be a sober truth that
more correct knowledge and more clear concep

of history tan be galded from the study of this

Let others give a fancy sketch,
In roseate colors dyed,
My truthful reminiscences

'Twits in a famed New England State,
Wl:ere teachers still abound ;
I took , my first certificate, and went to
boarding round.
With courage strong for one so young
(My age was scarce fourteen.
But you must know that Yankee girls
Are never very green,)
With couarge strong and heart elate,
1 tread the untried ground—
Th- teaching part was pleasant work,
But 0 the hoarding round !
Tu Mrs. Smith I first applied—
She wished to put It off ;
iler 'helps' had left, and little sis
Had got the whooping cough.
The Mallorys were cleaning house,
But Iles. Jouts, I found,
Was always ready to receive
The Teacher boarding round.
The Browns were very• clever folks
(AS easy people are,)
They heaped my plate and wondered why
I did not eat my share.
I went to bed hut not to sleep,
For soon, alas I I found
Teachers were not the only race
Who lived by boarding round.
Those sun-dried dinners, mile long Walks
Through dust and mud and ram,
That heavy satchel tuggeeto school,
And then lugged back again..
Such were the stern realities
Which on my pathway frowned,
Some fire and twenty years ago,
When 1 went boar.!ing round.

When custom tnade the laws,
I blyM for that community
Who would defend thy cause.
Let all who with the galling chain
Ilaur hitherto been bound,
Ex&aim with one united voice,
We'll never wore board round.
Diptheria,
Dr. Ellsba Harris: registrar of vital statistics,
New York, states that diptheria now prevails
its about half the cities with which his bureau
is in correspendence In the Unite,) States, prov
ing more fatal in interior towns than In large
cities. In view of this ftwt the Board of Health
of New York has devoted considerable atten
tion to this subject- At the last meeting of
that body it adopted att interesting and impor
tant report of the Sanitary Commlttm,refernng
to this matter.
The repot t speaks of the mode of attack.—
Diptherie Is caused by the inoculation el the
air passages with the diphtheritic polson,which
from this point infects the whole system. The
local inflanettion is extended with the forma
tion of membrane (exudation.) The fever and
general symptoms are the result of thin local
infection. Diphtheria is, therefore, a contagious
disease, (not, perhaps, as markedly so as scar
let fever.) induced by contact with objects and
persons infected. It may he diffused by the ex
halations of the sick anti the air surrounding
them, or directly by the exudation, as in the act
pf kissing, coughing, spitting,- sneezing, or by
the Infected articles used, es towels, napkins,
handkerchiefs, &c.
The poison clings with great tenacity to cer,
Min pinny, rooms and houses, where it rosy
occasion cases alter a lapse of months. In or
dinary attacks :he poison begins to clef the mo
ment it lodges upon the tissues, hut, like a vac
cination. causes slight sensible effects for from
two to live days. Then there is marked pros
tration,drynesrs of the throat, and pricking pain
to swallowing. The throat becomes red, and
patches of white exudation appear. The glands
or the neck swell. In mild cases these symp
toms subside on the third or fourth day after
their appearance. If more severe, these symp
toms may be prolonged and the fever increases,
the- local indamation spreads, and exudation
rapidly follows.
Diphtheria attacks by preference children be
tween the ages of 1 and 10 years, the greatest
mortality being in the second, third and fourth
yearsq children of feeble constitutions, and
those weakened by previous sickness, and those
suffering from catarrh, cronp and other forms
of throat affections. All classes arc liable to
attacks of diphtheria where it is prevailing, but
those suffer most eveiely who live upon low
wet ground, in houses with imperfect drainage,
or surroundsd by offensive matter, in damp
rooms/mil cellars, in overcrowded and illy ven
tilated apartments. Diphtheria is not affected
by either snow or rain, cold or heat or dmuth.
The precautions. suggested are cleanliness in
and around the dwelling, anti pure air in. living
mid sleeping rooms are of the utmost import
ance wherever any contagions disease is pre
vailing,as cleanliness tends both to prevent and
mitigate it. Every kind and source of filth
around and in the house should be thoroughly
removed. Cellars and tool areas should be
cleansed and disinfected ; drains should be put
in perfect order, dirty walls, and ceilings should
to lane-washed, and every occupied room
should be thoroughly ventilated. Apartments
which have been occupied by persons sick with
diphtheria should be cleansed with disinfect
ants, ceiling.; lime-washed, and woodwork
painted, the carpets, bedelothing, upholstered
furniture, ac., expoSed many days to fresh air,
and the rooms exposed to currents of fresh air
for at least one week before reoccupation.
No child should tie allowed to kiss strange
children, nor those suffering from sore throat
(the disgusting custom of compelling children
to kiss every visitor is a well-contrived method
of propagating other grave diseases titan diph
theria,) nor should it child steep with or be con
fined to rooms occupied by, or use artielss,such
as toys, takes in the mouth, handkerchiefs,etc.,
belonging to children having sure throat,croup
or catarrh. it the weather should be cold, the
child should be warmly clad in , flannels. When
dl litheria is in the house or lu the family, the
well children should be scrupulously, kept ilpart
from the sick, iti dry; well aired rooms, anti ev
ery possible source of infection through the air,
by personal contact whit the sick, and by arti
cles used abtiift,thom, or in their rooms should
be rigidly goarded. • •
Every ankh of sore thrnaccrottP tftudeittarib
should be attended to at once. "Thu feeble should
have invigorating food and treatment. The sick
should be rigidly isolated in well aired (the sir
being entirely changed at, least hourly,) well
lighted rooms, the outflow of air being,„ as far

Spider is the Simla
A short time since a young lady, a resident
ot Brookville, Pa., experienced a creeping sen
sation in her nose after she had retired to the
night, and all efforts to remove the annoyance
were without the desired eflect,the difficulty re •
undoing for several days, merely changin; to a
location further up in the nostril. Al length
it seemed to pass down into the throat, causing
a choking sensation. Immediately alter its dis
appearance the victim experienced acute pains
in tit stomach, and called medical assistance
in vain, the only thing that gave her any relief
being copious doses of brandy, which failed to
produce any of the usual effects. Finally se
ven: vomiting ensued, and after one whole
night's suffering, and the patient giving up
hopes of life, the cause of the trouble was re
move,', and an examination found it to be a
small particle of blood and matter, in the cen
ter of which was a common-sized black spider.
Evidently the brandy saved the young lady's
lite.
How to Admit Bonelicial Air
In nearly all small dwelling houses ventila
tion is allowed to take care of itself, and while
the occupants are not confined to one room,bnt .
move from one room to another, the ciculation
of air caused by the opening of doors is suffici
ent to keep up a supply of fresh air. During
sickness, however, and at nights, there is noth
ing left but a Ilobsen's choice between foul air
and a dangerous draught A recent author
treating of philosophy for practical use sug
gests a method of avoiding both. A piece of
wood three inchas high and exactly as long as
the breadth of the window is to be prepared.—
When venttlat ilMen Is required raiso the sash,
put the strip of wood on the sill and draw the
sash down closely upon It. If the window is
well fitted there will be no draught at,the low
er part of the sash, but between the upper bar
and the lower bar of upper sash there will be
an opening through which a perpendicular
cm rent of air may enter or pass out of the room
but not he felt us a draught such as 'would be
created by simply raising or lowering thosash.,
Don't Abuse the old Horse.
If the faithful servant that has worked for
von so many years is not quite as strong or fleet
ns in years gone, perhaps he Is worth as much
to you as to anybody. Good cam and generous
feeding will make even an old horse more val
uable dem If starved anti (Mined. If your bus
intss requires younger and smarter horse flesh;
keep the old one for the women and children
to drive. Old acquaintances are eater than the
new ones. If you cannot keep both give the
old one to some old thrmer who you know will
be kind to him, with the promise that ho shall
not trade' him Ml' to some brutal master, but
will keep him as long ai he is worth keeping,
and then kindly lay him :may where ho will
be beyond the reach of hunger, cold and pain.
Many. an old horse if he knew his situation,
would thank his owner to take away lift, as a
burden too heavy to bear. We have got Into
the habit of being too careless and too cruel to
old horses in this country. We owe it to them
as our servants, ns well as to ourselves as hu
man beings, that we see to it that our horses
are nut necessarily abased or neglected as soon
as they begin to show signs of old age.
