advantage, and while money,ln Philadelphia and

Clipping Driving Linrses is not a barbarous
practice, but In many cases is a necessity.. An
experienced livery stable keeper' of our acquain
tance a few years ago bad several horses that,
after the most careful driving, would 'lnvariably
be brought into the stable with not 4 dry hair on
them. The usual hard rubbing and warm blanket-,
lag were resorted to to dry thew or, but without
accomplishing the desired end tmaeritues within a
couple of days. One of the horses, particularly,
Lacing an extraordinarily heavy Goat became sick,
refused to eat, and was soon unfit fur use. As it
was a very valuable animal, the gentleman was
very anxious to restore him to health, but the ef
forts of experienced veterinary surgeons were fruit
less. A " clipper" happening Into the stable one
day, and hearing of the circumstances, suggested
clipping. The proprietor did not bepeve In It, but
consented to It as a last resort. The horse was
soon made slick and slim, and was driven out the
• Fiume aft9rnoon to shake the dust out. When he
• was returned to the • stable he was "as good as
• new," he partook of a hearty supper, and so con
vinced the proprietor of the wisdom of removing
heavy coats from driving horses, that the others
Were immediately put under the shears, and the
trio showed signs of better health than they had
enjoyed before, and every winter since then have
undergone the barbarous practice of clipping, and
have shown themselves the hardiest horses in
twenty-four. •

NEW Yon): correspondent has made the
frightful discovery ghat the. fine-looking sponges
peddled around the streets are' second-handed af
fairs, and that they were once In use et hospitals.
To what they were applied in these establishments
It Is unnecessary to state. This explains why the
articles are sold so cheaply by the peddler. The
correspondent may be mistaken, but the mere sus
picion should cause people everywhere when they
want a sponge to go to a first-chess drug store and
pay a fair price for it.
• CAUTION CONCERNING COUNTERFEITO.—D.
Is reported that a most dangerous counterfeit R 5
treasury note is in circulation. It is said that the
easiest mode of detection is by the green ornamen
tal engmvinklength-wise, which in the counterfeit
Is of a paler color, and consequently has a brighter
look than the dark green of the original. Been
under the microscope, the engraving of the coun
terfeit is coarser than the original, and there arc
some misplacements or omissions, but to the naked
eye it presents a genuine appearance.
EFFICACY OF ONIONS.— A writer Bays:
" We are troubled often with severe coughs, the
result of colds of long standing, which may turn
to consumption or premature death. Hard coughs
cause sleepless nights by constant irritation of the
throat, and a strong effort to throw off offensive
matter from the lungs. The remedy proposed has
often been tried, and is simply to. take Into the
stomach before retiring for the night, a piece of
raw onion after chewing. • This esculent in an
uncooked state is very healing, and collects the
water from the lungs and throat, causing immedi
ate relief to the patient."

which says "Every person, firm, or company
having a place of business where money le loaned
or advanced mum hnr,a, I—anon, hills of

should buy himself a towntget that paid for

—u little here and a little them will in due time
produce you a home of your own, and place you

ATROCIOuS ADULTERATIONS.—AIRITIIIRg as
iris the 'Onthiing:exposition of frauds, its continued
development appears more confounding, and Is
awakening the most intense indignation. Another
extensly6 examination into the character of goods
sold nt a large number of grocery -stores in New
York city, discloses, beside short weight, adultem-
Dons of the following character: Ground Java
coffee contains roasted bread crumbs, peas and rye,
chicory, burnt sugar and coffee essence. Ground
cinnamon was adulterated with tapioca, ground
Mace With pulverized crackers, ground cloves with
spices of all kinds, from willch the essential oil
had been extracted. Tea contained willow leaves,
genuine broken leaves agglutinated by some arti
fice, damaged leavesand tea dust. The green tea
was colored with a powder supposed to be Prus
sian blue, and the sugar was moistened with water
to the extent oflo per cent. In a neighboringeity
not necessary to name, some "ground coffee"
(Rio) purchased at-one of the stores in this city
has been analyzed by u competent person, and
found to contain—Coffee, 25 percent., dried peas,
15 per cent.; sweet potatoes, 40 per cent.; chickory,
20 per cent. Ye who are desirous of using all the
above mentioned ingredients and calling the com
pound by the name of "coffee," are at perfect lib
erty to do so. We certainly do not object.
AN IMPORTANT RAILROSDPROJECT. —Ever
since the di orris J.: Essex has been merged into
the Delaware, Lackawanna E Western Railroad
Company, the consolidation has been making vig
orous
efforts to Increase its power and Influence
among railroad corporations, by Increasing its
facilities and means of transporting passengers,
coal and freight front the Northern portion of
Pennsylvania to-the city of New York. The or
ganization of this Company . is one of the most
thorough and powerful, and It has unlimited means
at, its command. All of the forces under its control
are being brought to work, and it will undoubtedly
become a dangerous rival to other New York
roads. As an instance of the progressive, we
might say aggressive, spirit of this Company, we
learn front Pollen's Register that they intend,
without delay, to put down a third rail of narrow
gunge between Scranton and Nov Hampton, a
distance of 83 miles. New Hampton Is a station
on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and hence
the Lackawanna Company can find ready access
over the former road to Jersey City. At Wash-
Ington it connects with the Morris &,--Eleacs
road, affinding an outlet to Hoboken. By these
connections the Lackawan n a Company will have
two good markets for the shipment of their coal,
via . Jersey City and Hoboken. This Company
will doubtless become a great power, and will be
a strong opponent, which other corporations must
handle carefully. The business of the other roads
named is established on sucli a firm 111140; how
ever, that the Lackawanna Company will not be
apt to disturb it. Let there be h generous co-ope
ration among them all to Increase their facilities
and advantages for the public good, instead of that
spiteful rivalry which in many instances has been
the cause of financial ruin to other railroad corpo
rations.
NORTHAUTTON COUNTY JAIL.—WC take the
following remarks on the jail now being built In
Easton from the report of Hon. Mahlon Dickerson;
win - ) has been appointed Prison Inspector by Gov.
Geary. He has been on it tour of inspection
through the State:—
The citizens of Northampton county seem to he
fully awake to the necessity of providing a secure
and at the same time a comfortable prison for the
punishment and reform of their convicts.
To this end they secured the services of Mr. Ed
ward lamb an architect, who has made prison
construction a specialty. Ills design for the prison
of Northampton county stamps him as a proficient
In his profession, and is a gentleman who under
stands what kind of a building is required in order
to carry out perfectly the system of prison disci
pline peculiar to the State of Pennsylvania.
This prison is being erected in the town of Eas
ton, upon elevated,ground adjoining the court
house. It differs in some respects front any of the
recently erected comity prisons, yet the main fea
tures of the Pennsylvania system are observed, and
in the minor details many improvements are intro
duced. The cell corridor, instead of extending out
Irons the keeper's residence, as in oilier prisons, is
placed at right angles across the main entrance or
passage. By this arrangement the kitchen, bak
ery, infirmary, manufactory, store room,and other
offices are brought in close juxtaposition with the
cell building, instead of being placed at the end of
Yr: fA r s r eir fi l foul air Mica, instead of being fin;
are of cast iron glazed on the inside. The corridor
is one hundred and seventy feet long, fifteen feet
wide, and thirty feet high, open front the tleor to
the arched ceiling, and w holly unobstructed.
The entire building is fire proof, not only in the
cell wing, but In the keeper's residence and offices.
The stairs and galleries surrounding the upper tier
of cells are of iron, so arranged as not to obstruct
the light or air. The ventilation, sewerage and the
mode adopted for the warming of this building are
as near perfection as has been arrived at in build
ings of this character. A very important feature
In this prison, is the introduction of an infirmary;
for, though t he cells arc large enough for the treat
ment of ordinary doses of sickness, yet hospital
room is desirable hi the treatment of some diseases,
especially when the attendance of a nurse is ne
cessary.
Altogether this may be taken as the model for
county prisons, but this is even yet susceptible of
further improvement, which ' no doubt, will he
made in the next one erected in a county where
the authorities manifest the same Interest in the
matter as those of Northampton county evidently
do.

EASTON, PA., January 17, 1869.
The week just passed has been marked by relig
ions Interest more than any thing else. The meet
legs of the week of prayer were so largely attbnad
and with so much solemnity, that at the urgent
request of the laity of the churches they have been
continued. The Brainerd, 3d Lutheran, Reformed
and First Presbyterian churches have been crowded
night a Rei night by deeply serious audiences, large
ly composed of young men. Everything else hash
been held In subservience to this. Even Nasby, on
Wednesday &ening, proved a complete failure—
only a one-third audience attending, while the
Brainard Church could not hold the number who
sought Its meeting. It lips hewmany years since
as much religious interest has marked this place.
The College opened with Its complement of stu
dents on Timsadny. Dr. Cotten, the President,
intends to spend a year with his family lu European
travel.
The newspapers of Bethlehem and Easton are
having a war about the school teachers of the .re
spective places. A good many bad words aroused
and much dirt thrown at each other.
"Three ladles are lecturing in Paris," the papers
state. The difference between those three ladles
and the 3,000,000 married ladies of America is this,
that the former do publicly that which the latter
retire behind a curtain to perform.
Another poor man called to his account. Baron
Rothschild has settled his affairs In this world and
gone out of it, fortunately leaving behind a little
sum of meaty—a beggarly ft 250,000,000—t0 be
divided among the Rofla%rhildren.

INTERLACICEN, MWITZERLAN 13, 1868.
It was a gloomy, cloudy, dark, hazy morning
when the monk hostef the Ithone Inn launched
us forth into the world with the first two lines of
n rather tavernly-sounding benediction uporbour
heads, n breakfast of boiled chickens in our grim
ache, and a lot of hard-boiled eggs in our " um
brella." The first gray streaks of dhy were Just
stealing upon the yet sleeping world, as he no
companied us to the door, bolding a smell tallow
candle in his hand, the light of which flitted from
one side of the narrow vale to the other, like a
tim Id ghost'stcaling away toils retreat among the
dark, deep crevices of the glacier which lay white
and ghastly' in the grey light of morn. The dark
outlineifof the ridges on the glaziers' sides looked
sombre and shadow-like against the pate white
which lay like a long flowing trail of a ladies'
dress, in width the many crevices were the folds.
We were bound lor Interlacken, with nq favor

considered it my duty, Its a stranger, to receive
Lll6 unpliiasant foreboding with all duo gray . ity ,
which I did.
A steady walk of two and it half hours brought
us to the Grimsel Hospice, the wildest and most
sterlla spot I had yet seen, and is . 6000 feet above
the sea. A picture of wild and savage desolation
surrounds the traveler on every side. The
broken rocks, scarcely varied by patches of snow
and ice, with now and then small clumps of moss
or grass springing up out °film crevices.

Tile Hospice, situated In n stony hollow, seven
hundred feet below The summit, Is is rude stone
building with a rough exterior. It was formerly
used as a conventicle establishment, nod until
some time after the Reformation was designed to
steel er travelers who travel from necessity ; but
It is non• turned into a hotel, where as high us
two hundred persons, from nearly all parts of the
globe, sit down to dinner at ono time. It is a
strange sight, indeed, to see inn wild, dreary place
so many travelers and hear so many different
tongues spoken.
Atone end of this basin Is a small earn, On
whoSe borders a considerable amount of pent is
dug. It was here that one of the most remarlmble
skirmishes in the annals of the campaign of 170
took Place, between the French and Austrians, Ili
which the latter were driven, with some loss, over
the Obergesteln into the valley of tile Rhone.
It was 5 of the clock when we arrived here,
and as sunset was to see us at Meyringen, Ave
passed directly on our way, taking the path which
leads towards the Strahlesk, instead of the one
through the vale of the Hann, which, although
the nearest and safest, Is not so interesting. We
followed the path for some tine when, turning to
the right, we were soon struggling over stones
and snow in the direction of the Laufer Aar gla
cier, the cradle of the river Aar,where we obtain
ed n most singular view of wild Alpine scenery.

formed a small lake on the bosom of the glacier,
and the bits of lee which hail thinliled from the
height into it; looked like miniature icebergs,
and I could not but imagine myself to be an Es
imlinaux in his native wilds.
We were soon upon the glacier, which we cross
ed, and ascended the steep ridge of rock which
forms the boundary between the Looter Aar and
Gauti glacier. We kept along the ridge to the
right milli near its middle, and keeping along
this, we crime to the passage of the ridge. The
ascent over rocks and loose shingle to the sum

extremely narrow one. On reaching tine summit
we beheld heavy black clouds uniting In the via

never forget tine thrill of mingled fear ahil
tire t MO passed through . me when my guide called
my attention to the clouds, and the fact that a
heavy storm was brewing below us. Dark, Im
penetrable, :heavy masses, moving silently, but
with a swift, fleeting motion at our feet, like an
angry ocean, and a clear blue city over our heads -
Nor was It long befog the hill', distant rumbling
of thunder announced to us that the Morin hail
commenced. The storm-burthened clouds dash-
mountains reminded me of the surging waves of
a troubled sea breaking upon a rocky strand.. One
lung, vivid flash of lightning, stretching from side
to side, so close to us that I imagined I could feel
It, darting into the hill below me, accompanied
by nd eafen Int: clap of thunder which reverberated
among the mountains above the clouds, seemed
to rend the very mountain on which we stood, in .
twain. The ball had fairly opened, The scene as
I witnessed It is simply indescribable. It was
grand, sublime, fearful, and I revel in the thought
that if I bring nothing else with me in my wan
derings among the Alps, the remembran c e that I
have been above a storm, enjoying a delightful
the world below was being
drenched with raln,would besufficient. I watch
ed the storm-laden clouds moving slowly around
the brow of a peak towards the scene of conflict,
as though going to battle. A flash, a loud peal,
and they would mingle in the fearful tumult. As
the clouds had discharged their water, they would
slowly rise above the others, break into small
fragments and disappear, while others, laden
with water and electricity, would dash headlong
Into the fray. You must know that this storm
was scarce fifty feet below us. Take a grain of
powder and ignite it upon a piece of white paper,
and you will see the fire spread in every direc
tion. Just so did the lightning, which is Just as
dangerous' and destructive above as below the
clouds. It has not unfrequently happened that
men and cattle have been struck while in the
mountains above the storm. You will, therefore,
have to excuse our crouching down behind n
knolLaud only rising to our feet as each peal
was over. After a while a silence followed, and
at intorvals see could plainly hear the midi of
swollen mountain streams below us. Boon, too
soon for me, the storm woo over, when we com
menced the descent, which is an extremely steep
and slippery path over hard frozen tinms and lee,
which we found NO diffietlit to walk upon the*
twice we were compelled to sit fiat down and
slide down backwards fur twenty yardslO a time,
using our Alpine sticks as poles to regulate our
speed. Joseph, the guide, unfortunately in at
tempting to rise to his feet, slipped and fell en
our umbrella," breaking the eggs, &e., and doing
other damage. Taking a path lending through
the Umbach Valley, we soon struck the road
leading front Hof to Meyringen, where we arrived
at six o'clock. All along the valley the marks of
the rain were visible in small pools and swollen
streams, while the roads were soft and covered
with mud washed down from the mountains, so
that for a time they were impassable.
The valley of the Hash from Hof to Meyringen,
where it opens Into a large basin-like dale, Is ex
ceedingly grand. The path runs by the side of
the Aar river, which Is led through an artificial
canal to prevent the water doing mischief during
a flood. The mountains risingabruptlyon either
side, suddenly diverge into n large basin-like
gorge, which reminds one as he passes along nice
going through the handle of a dipper and enter
ing the bowl of it. This valley Is the frequent
resort of artists, as the Whitt:Thorn, the Willhorn,
and the wild peaks of Engelhoeriter forin n moun
tain group, and afford picturesque subjects for
the pencil. From the millet. Of nearly every
mountain waterfalls de seen dangling like long
blowing ribbons. The beautiful. iteichenistell,
descending in a succession of leaps front a height
of over two thousand feet, swollen by the reeent
rains, made a most fearful noise .as we heard It
ti luring down against the rocks. Meyringen
is situated on the right bank of the Aar, slot is a
most excellent specimen of a Swiss village. The
almost innumernblecasoades sweeping down into
the valley; the precipitous and .darkly-wooded
shies of the mountnins surrounding it, now out
then overt ipped by snow pealts, render the scene
enchanting. On a rock to the right of the town,
rise the mouldering walls of the Castle of Hest',
in grand contrast with the scene around,
A hard walk of two hours brought us to the
town of Mena, on the Lake of Orison, where tile
celebrated wood-carvings are made. I now some
most exquisite spectmens of workmanship here.
One of the annual wrestling festivals was just
over, anti the little tewn was alive with peasants
in their curious, but pretty end graceful costumes.
The women, especially, here, have the reputation
of being the prettiest in this section of Switzer
land. To we them in their black velvet bodices,
reaching almost to the throat, with flowing white
sleeves, starched yellow petticoat*" and their
round plaided hats stuck saucily on one side of
the head, which is covered with thick, glossy
hair, falling in long, loose tresses down over the
neck and shoulders produces a fine offect.
It was already dark, yet„ through the dusk I
could see the white drifting fall of the Mesh:tell
tumbling down into the lake In long; heavy
tress-like sheets through the dark forests of force
green turfy knolls and densely covered slopes
gave to It the appearance of a park scene. It is
one of the prettiest waterfalls, and as the night
shut It out of view, I heard in the stillness anti
'darkness of the night Its melodious Tilling. The
sound was grand, and I longed to see its tinter-
Welted waters under thetiaxxling light of the sun,
but I was comp,elled to leave it with She slight

make the following statement for the benefit of
those who pre suffering from Scrofula and other
Chronic Diseases. My wife had been suffering for
several years from tumors or swellings on her neck
which after a time would gather and discharge
matter, leaving a running sore. She bad been
treated for more than a year by most eminent
physicians without receiving any permanent ben
efit, her disease becoming worse, until elm had five
of these running sores on her neck, when I em

sores on her neck to heal, and all her .unpleasant_
and disagreeable symptoms gradually to disap

about four months. I feel perfectly justified,
