stroyed by fire. The origin of the fire is
unknown, though it is believed that the
burning was the work of an incendiary,
as "threats to burn" have been rife tor
some time, on the ground that the building

After. Dinner Nats. Many persons
are in the habit ot sleeping for half an
hour or an hour immediately alter dinner.
Ten minutes' sleep before dinner is worth
more than an hour after. It rests and re
freshes and prepares the system for vigo
rous digestion. If sleep w taken alter din
ner it should be in a sitting posture, as the
horizontal position is unfavorable to health
ful digestion. Let those who need rest
and sleep during the dav take it before
dinner instead of after, and they will soon
find that they will feel belter and that
their digestion will be improved thcreby.-EtehaTige.

How to Raise Plums. In "Well's Il
lustrated Annual" for-1875, we find the
following secret in regard tix successful
plum raising :
"There is a secret about plum railing.
We have discovered it ia traveling; over
the country. We never visited a large
plum orchard in our life that we did not
find plenty of fruit. And we never vis
ited any place with tight or ten trees, and
found a good crop of the fruit. Now,
these facts set us to thinking? and tli3 re
sult of our thoughts is this : that it is very
easy to have all the plums you want to eat
and sell. The secret connected with plum
raising is to plant plenty of trees, so as to
give fruit to the curculio and to yourself
also. If you plant fifty or a hundred trees,
you will have fruit enough for everybody.
tvery sucu orcuarci mat ws nave ever
visited had plenty of ripe fruit. Some
even complained that the curculio did not
thin out the fruit enough that the trees
were overloaded. So w e say to our read
ers, if you plant plums nt all, plant fifty
or one hundred trees then you will be
sure to have all the fruit you w ant, and it
is one f.t the most profitable crops raised."
Strangled by a Cat. That a cat will
suck a child's breath has been ofler claim
ed but it has generally been counted an cld
time superstition unworthy of attention at
this age of the world. Wc have, how
ever, an incident in point, substantiated
by the best authority, which will show
that such cases do hapjicn, and ser,-e as a
warning to mothers against allowing their
babies to be left alone with a cat. A te w
days ago the wife of captain J. Boyd Epy,
Ot Epsyviile, left her baby boy lying in
the crib while she busied herself about her
household duties, Her attention was at
tracted shortly after by the child making
a strong noise, and on toing to his crib
found their cat with its mouth and no-e
pressed into the babe's mouth, and his
pairs on cither side of the child's head.
The little fellow was doing his utmost to
extricate himself, but w ithout avail, and
but for the fortunate appearance of his
mother would probably have strangled to
death. It was with considerable dii'.icul
ty that the cat was removed. Mr. Espy,
who is known as one of the most rispecta
ble citizens, luruishcs these facts, and
vouches for their correctness. Vvnrn-itvt-tille
Courier.
, I.N commenting upon the failure of a
newspajicr manager, the St. Louis Civic
tells a plain truth in the following words:
"The business of journalism will continue
to lie an inviting field for experiments to
those w ho have a large amount of egotism.
A man, who, having edijed a newspaper j
until ne was lorty, snoiua suuuf -aiy an
nounce himself as a lawyer, would be re
garded as a fool by the legal profess: on;
and yet wc often hear of lawyers of forty
making sudden pretensions to journalism.
There is an idea that -the business of edit
ing rapuiresnoapprcntict'ship: that editors
come forth from law offices, and colleges
fully armed for the profession, like Pallas
trom the brow of Jove. I is a mistake;
there is not in America to-day a smile
journalist of national refutation w ho has
not devoted more tunc and moreha.d work
to his profession than, with equal fitness
and application, would have made him a
great lawyei or a good doctor. And yet
ninety out of every hundred men you meet
on the street will hesitate about carry inx
a hod or making a pair of shoes, w hereas
there will probably not be one in the hun
dred who can't, according to his own
judgment, edit any newspaper in thecoun-
try better than tt is edilevl, no matter in
what manner or by whom."
For the SHMiieraet II tu alii.)
Some wiseacre, in the editorial columns
of the Meyersdalc Yalley Independent, oc
casionally lectures our County Commis
sioners on the rate of taxation they have
adopted. He is not content w ith the re
duction of two mills on the dollar, and
thinks a reduction of four mills would be
the proper thing. He says there is "a sur
plus of fourteen thousand dollars in the
treasury and in uncollected taxes." Does
he nut know that these outstanding taxes
are not tangible ; that a similar amount is
always uncollectible? How happy all
persons in business would be it they could
iruiniuiiy count as eosn their bad debts.
Our commissioners would willingly
exempt, every man in Somerset County
trom taxation it they could keep up its
creuit ami maintain tiie administration ot
justice w ithout it. They are discreet men
and have affixed such a rate as w ill not be
oppressive and yet be sufficient to defray
necessary expenses. 1 he writer of this is
not old, and ytt he remembers when he
sold county orders at 25 percent, discount,
and had to take payment in store-goods at
that. Such sacrifices of that which should
hava been as good as wheat were common
at one time, Ioes the writer in the Inde-
pendfntVwish this state of affairs to occur
again? AS".
Pofsirle Effects of the Cold Term.
The Boston Journal remarks : The ef
fect of this cold period on vegetation be
gins already to excite the atteition ot ag
riculturalists. Less degrees of add than
have been attained this winter have some
times proved very disastrous. It is to lie
observed, however, that the mere contin
uance of the cold period is of little im
portance as compared with the lowest de
gree reached. Even that is more iniuri-
ous from the suddenness of its coming and
the circumstances attending it, than trom
the simple effect of the cold. It w ill be
remembered that one of our winters a few
years ago was nnprecedtutly destructive
to trees and shrubs, particularly ever
green's, although the cold was no greater
than is often experienced. The ground
was bare, the cold storms were accompa
nied with icy winds ; and there were other
causes of injury which have not been
well understood by experts to this day.
There is good reason to hope, therefore,
that the prevailing cold season, in New
England at least, notwithstanding its al
most unexampled prolongation and inten
sity, may not prove especially injurious to
vegetation. The ground is everywhere
well covered with snow, the cold has come
on gradually and remained with great
steadiness, and the air has been dry.
Peach, Plum and cherry trees mav sutler.
but the hardier trees and grass will proba
bly come out uninjured.

Uiaki-sthebloi.nl run cold in one's vi ins?,
transpired in Belfast township, this coun
ty, on l::-t Sabbath afternoon, the 14th tnt.,
by which three innocent little- children's
lives were sacrificed by the criminal ueg-Iijp-nce
of their thoughtiesi parents. Wc
have from reliable authority the following
particulars of the snd affair: On Saturday
about three o'clock, Daniel B. Mellutt and
w ife left their house, taking their young
baby with them, but leaving their three
other children in the hui'.se the oldest ol
width was only about five years of age.
Before departing, th'-y li'-d the young'-st,
that was unable to walk, in a chair before
the blazing lire on the hearth, secured the
windows and locked the door. About an
hour afterwards a Mr. Sipes-, a neighbor,
remarked a peculiar smell in the air, but
not being aide to trace its origin. In: pro
ceeded in his work of feeding his stock, to
lie interrupted shortly alter by noticing
(ttr.se smoke proceeding from Mr. Mellott's
residence. Ou hastening to the .-cents ho
was compelled to break down the door,
r.ml on the instant the kou.-c w3 in Hamcs,
and all efforts to be ot assistance to the vic
tims within were futile. The theory of
the lira is that a spark was ejected l'rrni
the fire and lodged on the clothing of the
child that was placed before it, and the
blav from its clothing coir.mur.icitinz it
self v i.h other infl.uum.ible material near
by. The charred bones of the other two
children were found ui the extreme corner
of the room where they had crept, iastiue
tivulv, lomvndn. Itorril.lc tlervtli as lonir. as
possible. This is deplorable, look at it
whichever way we may. However cul
pable the negligence oi' the parents, no
pen cm portray their unutterable anguija
to find nothing left of their children but a
handful of ttshe? that even the w inds could
sport with: their own heads without shel
ter, and the looks and actions of their
neighbors such as to keep before them the
aw ful fact that they were the indirect au
thors of the dire calamity. We regret to
siy that the parents have been warned of
the dangers of leaving theirchiidren alone
in a room w here fire was burnin-, not only
by threats of proseciition by their neigh
bors, but by the children themselves on a
previous occasion carrying live coals from
the fire place to the window and almost

Bonorr.u Election. The following
is the vote cast for the different officers in
this borough, on Tuesday, lGth inst. :
Singular Occtrkence. On Sunday
morning a week since, sayt lb a 2Sewvilie
i-far of last week, Mr. Drawbaugh, living
near Blosersville, observing a hound lying
in one of his fields on the enow, went over
to him, to discover if possible the reason
for hia occupying so inhospitable quarters
as an open field. Upon examination he
found a dead fox lying beside the dogand
the dog's feet so worn and tender as to
disable Lira from even standing up. The
dog proved entirely strange in the neigh
borhood, and Mr. D's conclusion was that
be had brousbt the tbz from a Ion; dis-
hince and failed to catch his game until he
caught it in the place where lie was touno.
