the editorial cliuir. When clunya like
this occur in ntwspapcr-i.it has long been
the custom for the incowiug occupant
of the chair editorial to present to the
readers of the paper hia views, together
with promises of the great thing that
he will do in the future, etc. However,
it It nut necessary (or us to do either o f
dicsa things, for eur readers are not al
together unacquuiuted with m, and in
the year and a half of our previous ac.
.pamtance, the views, of the paper were
well known, aud the object of the pub
lisher fully kUted, yet we well know
that the paper needs the free and fall
support of its friends, and without their,
support and good wishes the most un
tiring industry of the publisher, will
be useless.
The principles of the ADToCATKjwil
be strictly Republican, yet while endeav
or to make it an organ of this party, we
will only do so by a calm, considerate,
presentation of our views, on all topic
that may interest our readers, avoiding
i ll bitter personalities and unjust criti
cism. We intend rather to issue a sheet
'.hut will support Republicanism, and
,it the tanie time I of such a nature
that our Democratic friends will take it
because we try to present our views iu
the light of principle and not oT ridicule.
Ajratu, we shall eudeavor to make the
Advocate the local paper of the county,
and ill older to carry out our design iu
tliis direction we ask I'uui our friends

arc uot in readiness for the pres3, so the
facts are stated wo will arrange them,
and uuy of ouv iriends who will send us
items ol' local interest will plate us uti
der obligations to them for so doing.
In conclusion, we vat the matter with
our friends, feeling thai the Advocate
can be made one of the best local papers
in the country, and be established on a
firm basis, besides he.lpiug to develope

Rc7 to Vote. The Constitutional
Convention has deteisiined to prevent
fraud at elections and has adopted to
Mint end, the following method:
' All electious of tho citizens shall bo
Ly ballot; every ballot voted shall he
uumbeied in '.he order iu which it is re
deived, and the number recorded by the
electiou officer opposite the name of the
elector who presents tho ballot. Each
elector shall endorse his name upon his
ballot or cause it to be indorsed thereou,
or attested by another "elector of the dis
riet who shall not be au election officer
ttiid the oath prescribed for the election
ollieers shall require seerecy as to the
contents of eyery ballot east at the elec
tion. 2egrms at Washington. The
present session of Congiess promises to
be a fruitful one in reforms. Inde
pendent of tke abolition of the franking
privilege there is now a fair prospect
that a stinging rebuke will be adminis
tered to two of the worst practices of
the nineteenth century; viz: the pur
chase of Senatorial seats and the sale of
Congressional and Senatorial votes.
Last week, it will be recollected,
that the Caldwell investigating Com
mittee reported thut that worthy was
not duly elected a 4 Senator by the
Kansas Legislature. The iufereuee is
thut money has been used. The duty
of the Senate, therefore, is clear. That
body has suffered in popular estimation
from the prevalence of a belief that
eouie of its members owe their seats to
corrupt influences, rather than to a leg
islative appreciation of their virtues aud
talents, aud it is a source of some con
solation for honest men that corruption
caunot, iu all instances, be omnipotent.
Tho action of the Juredit Mobilier Com
mittee, will have reached but lame and
impotent conclusions if in the pro
tracted investigation, somethiug more
than a rebuke is not administered to the
many members of the National Legis
lature who have been shown to Lave
"itching palms." Bat, be this as it
may, something at leust will ba gained
if Congress pronounces an emphatic
protest agaiust a system that has & de
moralized many representatives, and
cost our people millions of treasure.

Tho Boom BUI.
Ihero is one question belore the legisla
ture of Pennsylvania which will sorve
as a touchstone ti tet the honesty of
every member of that body. That is
tho bill proposing to reduce the cliurges
made by the boomcoinpuuy at Williams
port. By diQurent acts of assembly tho
special privileges conferred upon tho
corporators of this monopoly have been
increased lrom time to time, until a few
'men have been put in a position which
enables them to collect au enormous tui,
levied upon oue of the most important
industries of tho Cotnuioowoalth. If
there were some existing reason,
giounded on public necessity, by which
such legislation could be justified, the
owners ot the boem would cava an ex
cuse fot their exhorbitant exactions. If
they have been induced to expend large
sums of money without being repaid for
their outlay, they might have some
show of right when they appeared bo
fore the legislature to resist sueb legisla
tion as is calculated to lift a burthen
from capital and labor. But (he exor
bitant charges of this monopoly can not
be justified upon any other plea than
that which is embraced iu
"The good old rule, the simple plan,
That he may get who bus the power,
A ii J be may keep who can."
Under folse representations, and, as
is generally believed, by the use of im
proper agencies, the charges which the
corporators of this boom company were
authorized to make ha been increased
from fifty ceuts to oue dollar and a
quarter upon every thousaud feet f
lumber passed through and delivered to
the mills at Williamsport. That this
lar;:o increase was not necessary is
shown by the fact that tho whole cost
vf tho enterprise could have been very
easily paid and a large annual profit de
rived lrom the charge of titty cents per
thousand feet, which was the limit set
when the charter was grauted,
Last year the tux levied aud collected
by this monopoly amounted to the ex
horbitant sum of ?;175.000; and this
burthen is laid upou the shoulders of
the many for the benefit ol the few.
Every mau who wields an axe in the
pine forests upou the head waters of the
Susquehanna leels the i fleet of this ex
action iu a reduction of his wages:
every carpenter who suovei-a plane has
to pay tribute to this monopoly; every
person who uses luiubet finds the Meas
ure which he receives lor a civen sutu
of money shortened, in order that the
revenue unjustly exacted by a few mo
nopolists, at the city of Williamsport,
uiiy he increased. .
It seems strango that any legislature
should hesitate for a moment ajhea a
oil! is offered which will relieve the pro
ducers aud the consumers of a great
staple from au uujust and iuiquitious
burthen. One would naturally suppose
that every member of the legislature
would make haste to record his vote for
the repeal of such special privileges as
the corporators ol this Boom company
have uuaighteously beeu permitted' to
possess themselves of.
Such would no doubt be the case, but
for the fact that the most potent means
ot corruption will be freely used to pre
vent justice from being done. Last
winter the owners of mill at Williams
port weut before the Legislature with a
statement showing most clearly how
they were beiug robbed, and how all
engaged in the production and con
snajption of lumber were be
iug heavily taxed for the benefit ot a
handful of mercenary monopolists. The
facts set forth were clear and convincing;
the bill presented proposed to loan the
corporators of the boom company a
large profit all that was demanded was
such a reasonable deduction as would
give a proper degree of relief toian
overburdened industry. Correct prin
ciples of political ecouoaiy, public jus
tice, proper respect for tho rights of
producers and consumers, all uuited in
demanding a reduction of the exhorbit
anc boom charges; but to every consid
eration that could be urged a mujnrity of
the members turned a cleat ear. In
vain was the justice ot the measure
urged; iu vain were members appealed
to in behalf of the constituents who
were iuteiested iu the cheapeuiug of
lumber. A personage named i'eter
llerdic, one of .tho men chiefly inter
ested in keeping the boom charges up
to tho highest figure, visited Harris
burg, uud he managed somehow to con
trol tho votes of a majority of the mem
bers of the Lower House, Rumor says
that u special ring was formed lor the
occasion, and that each member of the
riug received so much money lor voting
direufly ugainst the interests of his con
stituents. We say this was a rumor
but it was a rumor so well substantiated
that no oue who possessed the means
necessary for making up an opinion had
uuy doubt about its trutli.
And, now, the same struggle has be
gun again. The lumbermen are present
at Harrisburg, with a perfectly lair and
just bill. They propose to leave to the
owners of a boom a 7ery large profit,
aud they ouly ask that the producers
and the consumers of one of the staple
productions ot Pennsylvania shall be
relieved from improper burdens. If the
members of the legislature vote as right
and justice would dictate, they will sup
port the bill which the lumbermen have
introduced. If they regard the iuterest
of their constituents they will do sot
Tbey can have no good reason for stand
ing with tho monopolists. Every man
who dots so will subjoct himself to the
suspicion of being bought and tho
suspicion will not bo a violent one. Let
the list of ayes and nays be . closely
scanned, and let every Ulan who votes as
Peter llerdic way diotate be set down as
having beon bribed to vote against what
is right, and in favor of laying a burden
upon everv producer and consumer ot
lumber in Eastern Pennsylvania. Lan

Mr. Ferkins and tho Horse.
Mr. Stiver, who owued a horse, went
away one day and asked Perkins to look
after it. Porkius did so. After feed
ing him he thought it the correct . thing
to take him nut and exorcise him, lie
tells tho result:
Ho exercised mo befote ho gotthrough
with it. He went around a few times in
a circle, then he stopped suddenly ,spread
out his fore legs and looked at me.
Then ho leaned forward a littlo and
hoisted both his hind legs, and threw
about two coal bods ot mud over s line
full of clothes -Mrs. Perkins had just
hung out,
Thrt excellent lady had .taken a posi
tion at the window, and whenever the
evolutions of the awful beast permitted,
I caught a glance at her features. She
appeared to be very much interested in
the proceedings, but the instant the mud
flew sho disappeared from the window,
and a momeut later sho appeared on the
stoop with a long poker in her hand,
and fire enough iu her eye to beat it
red hot.
Just fhen Stiver's horso stood up on
his bind legs, and tried to hug ma with
the others. This scared me. A horse,
uever shows his strength to suoh sn ad
vantage as when he is coming down on
you like a frantic pile driver. I instant
ly dodged and the cold sweat fatrly
boiled out of me. It frightened Mrs.
Perkins dreadfully.
"Why, you old fool," said she, "why
don't jon get rid of him?"
"How can I?" said I in desperation.
"Why, there's a thousand ways,'.'
said she. ,
This is just like a woman; how diff
erently a statesman would have answered
Hut I could think of only two ways
to disposo of the beast. I could cither
swallow him where he stood, aitd then
set down on him, or I oould . craw1-fu-side
of him and kick him to death.
Put 1 wns saved either of these, ex
pedients by his comiug toward ujo so
abruptly that I dropped the rope in
terror, aud then he turned about and
kicked me full of mud, shot for the
guto, ripping the clothes lines in two
and went off down tho street at a horri
ble gallop with two of Mrs. Perkins'
garments, which he hastily snatohed

a very picturesque manner

Heat op Rooms The purchase of a
thcrmoncter will make paying returns
in health. The grtat tendency iu win
ter is to keep rooms too warm. The
folindatiou of pneumonia, pleurisy and
pulmonary consumption is frequently
laid in over-heated, ill-ventilated apart
ments. The inmates become accustom
ed to breathe hot, close air; the system
is toned down and relaxed, and a slight
exposure to cold and wet results in
serious.illnc-ss.
"S
ome years since says a
medical
writer, "we called, ono winter eveuing,
on a friend, whom we found in a cosy
sitting room,' with a large fire, a low
ceiliu and the heat ranging about the
eighties. She was suffering with a se
vere cold, but could give no account ol
how she took it. A month later she
was prostrated with pneumonia, and
she and her sister died within a week of
each other, and were buried in the same
grave. The intelligent use of a ther
moneter would doubtless have saved
both of those valuable lives."
The mercury in the tube should never
be permitted to stand above seventy.
If that temperature is. not sufficient to
give warmth it is an indication that the
person does not take sufficient exercise,
and the cure fr it is more miles aud
more flannel. In the coldest weather,
wheu tho ground is like stoue under the
feel, wheu there is no drip from the
eaves, and when snow lies on the roof's,
rooms should be ventilated.
Pure air should be admitted through
the open doors and windows, so that the
oxygon consumed by flame aud respira
tion may be replaced, und the effete and
poisonous matter thrown off by tho body
thoruoghly driven away. As one of
our best writers on household soience
remarks, ventilation is a question of
money.
Valublb Lead. It is said that a
load of bullion came through from the
Coloruda Silver Regions as lead on to
Philadelphia. At Wetmore sidiug on
the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad the
car that this metal was loaded ou got
jammed aud the ue(al was buried
ip the snow. Another car was procured,
and the metal reloaded aud sent east
ward. Shortly after, a peremptory order
came from the President that seven
bars of lead was missing and they must
be got. After considerable digging in
the snow, five of the pigs were recov
ered and sent on. Then another order
came, "the other two bars must be
found," and found they were after much
delay and hard work. The men won
dered why they wero so particular about
a few pigs of lead. Hut they found out
shortly after that they were not lead,
but silver, valued at $5,000 a bar, being
sent to the Philadelphia mint for coinage
aud were carried in this way, so as to
mislead thieves along tho road, who
undoubtedly would have pilferred the
car to some extent had they knowtw the
value of its cargo. Corry Telegraph.

physiological journal condems the prac

supposed, in this advanced ago of civi

the practice is . sufficiently common in
some seoious of the country, to call
forth a decided romoflstranca. Besides
being a brutal method of punishment, it
is daBgerous. The passage ot the ear is
closed by a thin membrane, especially
adapted to be influenced by every im

If any ono designed to break or over
strain the membrane, he could scarcely
devise a more ofTcctive means than tu
wring tho hand suddenly and forcibly
down upon the passage of the ear, no
possibility for its escape but by the mcm
braue giving away. Many child too are
made deaf in this way.
