DsrEmus (lAB.—loor several weeks past,
the citizens of PottstOwn have had much
trouble with their gas, the article furnished
i
being insufficient n_quantity, as well as de•
fective in quality. Upon several occasions
recently, the town has, in consequence, been
wrapped in darkness as early as 8 o'clock in
the evening. It is alleged that the troublq
has originated from a recent change in the
management of the gas works. The diffi
culty will be obviated as soon , as the - new gas
works, now being' construated, 'are ready f'Or
use, which will be about the Ist of January
next.

ADULTERATED Viiitcoaii...—We'eantion the
public against the use of adulterated vinegar.
The heavy,government tax on alcohol has
raised the price so much thavresort is - had
to a cheaper, substaneet to give. the, required
acidity to vinegar. Tor , th is purpose, sul
phuric, nitric and hyarnehlorie acids are all
used I though sulphuric acid, as the cheapest
and - sourest thing that can be found, is chiefly
used. This, however, is very destructive to .
pickles and whatever placed in it for pre•
nervation, and very injurious to the health
of those who use the vinegar made of it. A
gallon of the stuff called vinegar can ho wade
for a ceht or two from sulphuric acid arid
water, with some colored water. To detect
the presence of sulphuric acid, take a small
quantity of the vinegar in a clear glass and
drop a few drops of the chloride of barium
into it, or the nitrate tot' baryta. If the liquid
presents a cloudy aPpearance, there is ant.
phuric acid in it, and It should be returned
to the manufacturer or turned into into the
gutter.

Business Collet/01.
Ma.EDlTOlii—There is nothing that should
engage the attention of parents • more than
the education of young people, and particu
larly young gentlemen. They .should bo
brought up to habits of industry economy,
and a strict observance of the Sabbath, They
should be taught to employ every moment,
of time in something that is useful. Very'
many young men save up a few hundred dol.
tars, by hard work, to be usedin educating
themselves.. 'They look around for a pioDer
school, and see an advertisement of some
Winces college, which promises largely.—
Not having an extended acquaintance with
the . world,.the youth believes all that he sees
in the advertisementoind posts off - to the col
lege. I would have you understand that I
would not say one word againit business
colleges if it were not that the young man is
deceived and cheated—his money taken from
him without a proper equivalent,' When the
young man arrives titYthe college, first
deobtion is in the price of board. o finds
that ho has to pay from one to three dollars
more for board a week than was advertised.
He makes np his mind to the board in View
of' the "splendid business education ho is to
receive." Ho goes to the college and sees
an old dry goods box,which has been thrown
away, used as a desk or counter. Ho makes
the acquaintance .of the professor, who is
generally some brainless fellow with tufts of
whiikera on each side of his face. He is
talked to in a very learned way by this
would-be professor, about the advantages ho
will receive hero, and how easy it will lie for
him to get a situation upon the certificate
whieli this college will give, &c., &e. The
young man-is kept under a state of excite•
mont for six weeks or three months, and
then graduates and receives his Certificate,
with a seal or something else attached.
The young man then return to his home
to slow his certificate, or, else goes out into
the *orld immediately in search of a situa
tion. If the former, his friends who do not
know that the certificate is worthless, are
pleased, and if thelatter, the young man is
told by the person from whom employment
is asked that his education and, certificate
are of no account, audit he has not sonie7
thing more to offer ho cannot be employed.
,The young man, not at all abashed, goes to
another house, and meets with a similar re
ception. This is too much. He asks him.
sell' "have I been 'cheated ?" Is not my
business education received at worth
something? Have I been cheated out of my
hard-earned money and received nothing?
Did not Prof. toll me that his certifi
cate was worth to •me $— ? Did ho de
ceive me? I will make another effort; it
cannot be that my ',night hopes of the future
are to be dashed to pieces in this way." So,
the young man makes, another effort, meets
with another rebuke, end is at last compelled
to return home to his friends in sorrow and
shame, cheated in the most villainous man
ner.
• Such are the results of such deeeption
upon young men, and the man or melt who
Would be guilty of such conduct is worse
than the highwayman. The latter robs a
man of his money and goods / while the busi
ness college not only takes his goods and his
money, but all his bright anticipations of the
future.

RELIEVED OF Hu WATolt.—Last:ovening,
a young man from the country, went into a
"den"somewhere in this city,to halo "some
fun." He soon became acquainted with one
- of the "fair inmates," and spent hid money
as though he pickethit up in the streets. Af
ter he had been there for some time, he be
came "tipsy." Ho finally found that one of
said inmates made herself - so familiar as to
reach into his pocket and "lift his watch."
She examined it, and thought it was
splendid. He kept an "eye On her," but
somehow his companion slipped out of the
back Aoor, taking the watch with her. Ile
followed, and searched, but his "darling!'
was gone. This morning he cane to . .the
Mayor's office and made complaint,but as lie
had no money left,he could not get a warrant
An officer, however, accompanied him to his
place of "joy and bliss," and recovered said
watch.

EARLY Hooss.—lt has been suggested that
one of the reforms of society in which the
female clubs can lend powerful aid, is the
observance_of'early hours social gather

'season for which is now co mencing, the
Idaneing does not begin much before ten
oreloek, and consequeutly the evening is
prolonged until, four or are o'clock in the
mcirning. Hence, on the next day, the pr*.
ticipants what should be an amusing re
laxation are entirely unfit for ,business, or
even for the lighter tasks of home. Head
aches, general depression and unstrung

Tut PARTIOULARS of the recent Explosion
of_ the powder ,mill of David Beveridge, in
Schtiylkill-eounty, re said to be as follows:
A few days ago the powder mill of David
Beveridge, on the Little Schuylkill, about
three miles from Tamaqua, was blown up,
The,foreman had ascended to the top of the
perpMacular shaft connected- with the
machinery, for the . putvse of tightening the
wedges around an tro:, 'ring which, held the
gudgeon of the shaft. These wedges were
of wood, but ho very foolishly attempted to
drive them with an iron hammer: In so do
iag he missed the wedge. and hit the iron
ring, striking fire, which communicated to
the charcoal' dust. HO first attempted to di :
tinguish - the fire with.his hands ; but findink
this impossible, ho jumped down to make his
escape, but had scarcely reached the floor
when the mill blew up. He was Niery badly
burned about the face and hands ; William
Mace, Isaac Mummy and John 0. Marlin
were- also badly burned. The mill, which
was one of the kind known as "stamping"
mills, and the glaze-house, were blowf: to
atoms:'
