The Daily savs that its reported a new. pnper
wUl eoon bo started In Caketown, by J. Adam
Cake, Esq., who is the owner of the defunct
Morning Ezprtu office, formerly published iti
thi. place. If Mr. Cake only knew what a glo
rious thing it Is to publish a "live newspaper,"
and how the subscription money is flowing into
an office, and the immense fortune there is iu
publishing a paper, ho would have started his
paper long ago. It has frequently puzzled n
that there are not more new papers started, as it
is the prevailing idea that there is more monev
to be made II- the business than In any other,
with less labor. Judging from the backward
ness of some in paying up, we are convinced
that they Imagine that there is no cxpesu at
tached to the business, and that the paper don't
eosl anything, and that its ail income without
auy outlay. We should like to see some .r
those deluded persons cmliark in the hii-incs a
while and then give ns their experience. We
wish Mr. Cake succes. iu his enterprise, a he is
certainly entitled to a fortune, which he will un
doubtedly make.
Tnn Snow Stoum. The whoie of last week
was seasonable and delightful weather. Farm
and gardeu work was it-ing pushed with vigor.
Sunday was us warm neatly ns oruiuuy sum
mer weather, but as eveniug came ou it became
colder and contiuued throughout Monday.
Early on Tuesday morning it begau snowing aud
continued during the entile day. At this place
about six iuehes or snow Icii. Thi? snow storm
appears to have beeu pretty general in the north
ern and eastern part of the State. At Poltsville
there were nine inches of snow ; at Mahauoy
Piauc one Toot and a half is repor ed ; at Milton
oue loot ; at Serautou. Wilkcsbarre. Mauch
Chunk and other points all report from six iuc'aes
to one foot of snow. This has materially in
terferred with farming operations for a short
time. Wc do not apprehend, however, any dam
age to the fruit or Vines, unless there should be a
change to extreme coid.
As spring opens measures should ba adopted
to repair the gates at tho fence around the pub
lic Square, ou Market street. Last season the
gates were left ajar, and cows were allowed to
gather during the day and night, which gave it
Ihe appearance of a cow txm instead of a public
park. We are satisfied that a large majority of
the citizeus are anxious to have Ihe park com
pleted as it was designed to be, aud kept in de
cent order. Iu order to keep the gates closed,
heavy irou posts should bo erected to hang the
gates on so they will swing shut themselves.
The posts on wh ch they are attached now are
entirely too light, and can never l maCe firm
or kept from sagging or breaking. Let the
council procure heavy posls and they will find It
more economical than by keeping the old posts.
and the gates will be closed aud the park kept In
a condition that will bring credi'. npou tne town.
Since the bridge has beeu swept away between
this place and Northumberland lately, a bridge
across the river at this place to the Snyder coun
ty side is freely lalKed of. We hojic that such
steps will be taken at once to complete t lie enter
prise. There is noiniug we kuow or at present
that would yield as good a percentage on money
Invested as in a bridge as is suggested. The di
rector of the Northumberland bridge allege
that ttieir stock yielded 12 per cent. If that is
the case, a bridge across the rivet here will yield
at least 29 per cent, oa money invested. Besides,
the people generally, ou both sides o! the river,
ill be greatly benefitted by it. Both the pro
ducer aud cousuruers or farm products, raised
in that rich agricultural di.-trk-t or Suydcr aud
Union counties, will be benefitted, as it will
make Sunbury the head ol' the market which
can then be easily reached, and the bestol pi ice
obtained Tor Iheir produce. The j-eople on this
side of the river would be benefitted by having
those product brought right to their doors. We
are Informed that the directors of the Northum
berland bridge do not intend rebuilding and pro
pose to establish a rope ferry. If such is the
case, any oue will readily sec the necessity of a
bridge, aud wc hope it will be built ai ouce.
The Sunbury Poor House, established lately,
is now in fall operation, and already proves a
great saving to the borough treasury. The
hou-e is kept iu good order by the matron, Mrs.
Logan, and the inmates are well pleased with
their condition, aud we heard several buaEl of
their One apartments iu thai iustitriiou. Before
iuuugutating the Poor House system, there were
no less than forty pauper kept by the borough ;
of this number but eight have consented to be
come inmates. Those who refuse to go to the
Poor lioure do not receive any aij from the bo
rough, and the Overseers of the Poor are nol
very anxious lo have .my more applicants if ii
can be avoided.
A Spelling Bee at Nouthumiierlanp. We
are requested to state that a "spelling bee" will
take place iu the lowu bail, at Northumberland,
on this (Friday) evening, and ou to-morrow,
(balurday) evening, uuder ihe auspices or the
Free Reading Room and Library Association and
the Northumberland Cornet Band. Much
aiuuseiucut may be expected on this occasion,
as the audience will be entertained wilh excellent
music besides the amusing scene o( a spelling
match. The proceeds will be appropriated to a
worthy object We vcuture to say there wiil be
a crowded house.
Oca young friends or Noilhuinberlaud, having
oiganized u Free Keadiug Room iu that place,
last fa.l, have employed the loug wiuti-r hours
in a useful way, by gaining knowledge instead
ol lounging about saloont, us is too frequently
the case. Now they begin to reap er.jnymeiit iu
a highly cultured way, by holding exhibitions ol
a nature that is calculated to benefit them dur
ing life. The citizens of that piace cannot give
too much encouragement In keeping up such a
laudable enterprise or the young folks, as such
an organization is calculated aud wiil lc or vast
bcucfit lo the whole community. We wish our
yonng fi lends every success In their enterprise iu
the pursuit or knowledge, and may they realize
a reward far beyond lheir cxpectatioDS.

We notice a communication iu tic Daily ol
Wednesday Inst, in reference to buildiig a bridge
across the river at this place, iu whicl the writer
attempts In ridicule our neighbors of Northum
berland. This part of his cotumuuicrtiou is en
tirely uncalled ror, aud shows Hie sane indiscre
tion in hi remarks about our neighbor that he
alleges some ol the citizens of Northiiuberlaiid
have indulged in against our town. I' "au uct
or Divine Providence" removed ther bridge,
they are entitled lo our most hearlfeit sympathy
for lheir misfortune, instead of ridiule. Wc
arc acquainted with a number of prsous in
Northumberland who feel an interest ii the ad
vancement of Ihi town, and who vouid, no
doubt,' readily invest their capital iu a bridge
across the river ut this place. If tie bridge
company are unable to build their brid;c it is an
unlortunate affair, as both bridges are u-cesury,
and would prove a convenience to bothplaccs.
We arc gratified to learn that John I. Smith,

Toe Late Freshet at Moxtandon. Our
neighboring village Montandon has been a great
sufferer from tho flood. The embankment on
the west side necessary to grade the P. & E.
railroad forms a barricade through which water
cannot pass, leaving the conformation of the
ground on which the town is built iu the shape
of a bowl. During the thaw, the waler poured
into this bowl completely covering the irreater
portion f the ground to a depth of from one to
ten feet. Nearly the entire length ol the princi
pal street had lo be navigated by rafts for scv
cral days. A culvert beneath the track at or
near the public road crossing would have draw.i
the water off in a short time, but people on the
west side objected to it, because it would have
damaged their real estate, as the body of water
was immense. About one hundred meu were
set to work on Saturday by the railroad company,
in conjunction with the citizens of the lit tic Ve
nice, and a drain was dug on the cast side lead
Ing to a natural outlet some distance down the
railroad. This gave the requisite relief. Or
course the cellars were all filled and many of the
first floors had been flooded to the depth or sev
eral feet, leaving, a deposit of mud and debris
Very annoviug to such tidy housekeepers as
Montandon can boast of. What is aiso deplora

fested hereafter by chilis and fevers, so often the

Daily of Friday.
A decision has been rendered, by tin- United
States Supreme Court, at Wushingtou, on an
appeal rrom a decision in the Court below, a
verdict In favor of a Life Insuraucc Company
which rernsed to pay a policy, tha application
ror which contained untruthful answers. The
allegation was made that the so-called untruths
were unintentional" and unimportant, yet the
Court affirmed the binding rorce of the contract,
which could be vitiated by answers thai were in
correct, whether they were material to the risk
involved or not. The decision is final, and is, no
doubt, correct. But a question arises which
ought to be legally tested. It is that companies
which accept payment or premium on policies
which they know to be invalid, or have reason
to believe to be, are guilty or swindling, and
liable to a pcualty tor it. It i oT course, proper
that Life Iusurance Companies should protect
themselves; hut iu doing this, tl:cy should not,
by Intricate quest ious not material to the risk
taken, involve parties who may nol give atten
tion lo the legal bearing or a multitude or ques
tions, or stutuoeuls of agreement. Life In
surance is supposed lo be a mutual arrangement,
involving the interests or company aud patron;
and should be no more complex than i. absolute

In Suubury, Pa., on Tuesday morning, April

At a regular meeting of Susquehanna Coui
inaiidery, No. 'J, held April 8th, 1S75, at Sun

tions were adopted :
Whekeas, It has pleased Almighty God, iu

The People's Common Sense .Medical Adviser,
in plain English, or Medicine Simplified ; lly K.
V. PiekcE, M. D., Counsellor-iu-Chicf of the
H:ard of Physicians and Surgeons, at the World's
DisiH'tisary, HuUalo, N. V. Theubove Work a
book of about nine hundred large pages, pro
fusely illustrated with Wood Engravings unit
Colored plates, and well and strongly bound
will be sent, post paid, to any address, for One
Dollar and Fifty Cents making it the cheapest
hook ever oirered to the American People. Other
books treating of domestic medicine, of like si:
uud style of binding, and not nearly as weil il
lustrated, w ith no colored plates, and some r
them containing no piescriptions and making
known no means of self-cure for the diseases
whieh they discuss, tell from three dollars and a
half to live dollars. Were Dr. Pierce's Work uot
published by the author, priuted aud bound with
his own machinery, and were it soid through
agents, as other like works arc, the price of it
would have to be not less than four dollars. For
when the publisher pays the uuthor a fair price
for his production, then adds a profit to his in
vestment large enough to satisfy himself and com
pensate him, not only for his labor, but also for
the ilsk of pecunlaiy loss which he assumes in
taking the chances of the enterprise proving a
success, and when the Stute, County and can
vassing agent has each received his profit, they
have added lo the expense of u boo!;, that origi
nally cost about 1.-3, so much that the people
have to pay not le-s than $-l.0U for it. The
People's Medical Adviser, on the contrary, is
placed within the pecuniary reach of all classes
by the uuthor, who adopts the plan of tho
Grangers, dispensing with middle men and giv
ing the benefit or their profits to the people, of
feiing his book nt u price little above actual cost
of publication. That those desiring the b'Kik
may run no risk of losing their money in send
ing"it through the inniis, the author advertises
that monev 'addressed to him nt HuUalo, N. Y.,
and inclosed in registered letters, may he at his
risk or loss. The author's large correspondence
with the jH-ople upon medical matters, whieh we
are credibly informed, frequently exceeds three
hundred letters a day, and requires several train
ed and skillful medical assistants and short
lutud reporter to enable him to entertain aud
answer them, ns well as his largs daily dealings
with diseases at the World's Dispensary, appear
to have peculiarly fitted him for writing the
Work, by rendering him very familiar with the
every day medical needs of the people. He en
deavors in this Work to answer nil the numerous
questions relating to health and disease that have
been addressed lo him by the eopl! from all
parts of the land, and heuce it contains impor
t mt information for the youugand old, mnle and
female, single aud married, uowhere else lo be
found. All the most prevalent diseases of both
sexes are also plainly and fully considered and
means of self cure made known. Unlike other
works on Domestic Mcdicine.it includes the sub
jects of Biology. Cerebral Physiology, Hygiene,
Temperaments, Marriage. Reproduction, etc., all
of which nre treated In an original and interest
ing manner. It is a compendium ot Anatomical,
Physiological and Medical Science, and embodies
the latest discoveries in each department.
