Washington'e Birthday.—lt may have been

the thanks of everybody for assisting in dispelling
the general gloom, for they are an excellent and
enterprising corps of drummers. The banks were'
all closed, and those who went there to pay n note

birth-day, we don't know which, come up Hamil

George woo born in 1732, and if he had not died
would have been one hundred and sixty-seven
years old man Republican. Time was when the
anniversary of his birth was eagerly:seized upon by
men of all parties as au excuse for a spree, a
parade or n general Jollification, but politics have
retrograded to the last century and anything done
to perpetuate the memory of this great man, Is ne
cessarily distasteful to a large body of men who
rejoice in the name of Democracy. Why 1 Be
cause all of Washingston's cherished principles
have rolled through this country like an Immense
ball through snow, Increasing daily In size, until
the Democracy are wiped entirely from political
power.. Washington's Farewell Address implored
the people to beware of disintegration nod elvish
the Union ; the Democracy preach against this

It centtalization of power. Washington

swamp our Government and soon put-us under the
rule of a monarch. Thus we have Washington's
netter-dying precepts battling over against Dem

CRAZED PEOPLE AND \Van•.—llail's Journa l
of Health says that ,more than one-fourth of all
the inmates of lunatic asylums are from the fam
ilies of farmers and merchants, not wholly because
they constitute the largest class of the community ;
so many of the former, not because the occupation
:self is not.healthful, but for want of mentalcul
and their ignorance and inattention to the
of their being; of the latter, because they
grow up as the "elite" of the communities In
which they live, but later on become so often bank
rupt, the mind fails in the attempt to grapple with
the difficulties of their changed condition. 111
health is the most prominent cause of insanity, in
duced by insufficient exercise, intemperance, over
eating, and yielding to trouble, care and mental
anxiety : the always certain remedy against these
being a more general cultivation of out-door activ
ities, a general attention to stirring business, giv
ing preference to those occupations which are con
genial, absorbing and encouragingly remunerative.

Plant," which is alleged to grow spontaneously In
the tropical regions of Brazil. By Its use "pure
and excellent butter" can be made at a cost of
fifteen or twenty cents perpound. It is sold in
one dollar rackele,• each containing enough to
make fifty pounds di* butter. The way they do It
Is to take one pound of good butter, one pint of
milk, and •a small quantity of the "extract."
These are mixed or churned together, and the re
sult Is more than two pounds of "delicious fres%

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
HAnntentrna, February 12, 1869.
To (8. &rusk and House of Representatives of the
Conunormaith of Pennsylvania :
GENTLMIEN.—Uouse bill No. ii, entitled An Act
to repeal an act regulating the salary of the Treas
urer of Lehigh county, approved the 16th day of
March, A. 0. 1867, is herewith returned without
approval.
The effect of this bill, though not apparant from
the title, would bo to Increase the salary of the
county. treasurer of Lehigh county. His present
compensation Is about two thousand dollars per
annum; and the duties of the office, as I am cred
ibly informed, do not require one-tenth of his time.
Prior 101667, the county treasurer received a higher
salary; but the taxpayers complained, and caused
the act of 16th of March, 1867, to be passed. They
now complain of the proposed repeal; and sundry
well-written and numerously-signed communica
tions are before me, vigorously protesting against
the approval of the bill. As the present compen
sation appears to be reasonable, and no public
interest would be subserved by the proposed in
crease;l have concluded to comply with the request
of the taxpayers and citizens, and therefore return
the bill without my approval
Tui: DIVISION ON SOUTH BETHLEHEM.—
The bill authorizing the division of South Bethle
hem has passed both Houses of the Legislature,
has received the signature of Governor Geary, and
has therefore become a law, going into effect im
mediately. The Governor hesitated a long time
before he could be prevailed upon to giVe his sitar
non to the 1411. ilk objections were, however, of
a purely technical and legal nature, there being a
doubt in the Governor's mind as to whether the
power of enacting such a law was lodged in the
Courts or in the Legisisture./An opinion was
given by a lending Meer of this Stoic, inclining to
the latter view, whereupon the Governor signed

more important details, such as the lines of divi

made before the Spring elections, at which time
the several ward officers will be elected. The peo

Hon. George H. Goundie for his efforts in urging
the bill to Its final passage and sanction by the
Governor—Timex.
CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.—The taking
Of testimony in the contested Congressional elec
tion
for the Vth district closed by limitation of
time on Wednesday last, the 17th inst. No more
evidence can be taken on either side until afterthe
meeting of the Forty-first Congress, on the 4th of
March, and then only when authority to do. so is
granted by a vote of the House of Representatives.
This will probably be obtained by Mr. Taylor.
The examination on the part of Taylor was con
tinued hi the 25th ward on Monday of last week,
before Notary ,Public Waxier of Germantown,
Edward M. Paxson appearing for the contestant
and C. W. Carrigan for Dr. Reading. Forty or
fifty witnesses were examined, their testimony
going to, establish the irregular'and fraudulent
character of the election as conducted In some
parts of that ward. The sitting did 'not continue
beyond that day. Some testimony was also taken
in behalf of Reading in the early part of the week.
The net result of the examinations, so far as can
be ascertained, Is to leave the situation of affairs
much as they were in the beginning. The correct
majority for Reading, retu media October, was 101
votes. Both sides have proved is number of illegal
votes, the number thus far being about equal—so
that Reading's apparent majority:ls yet somewhere
about 100. Mr. Taylor, however, claims that lie
has not yet brought forward the strongest features
of hid case, and he Is quite sure that, if time Is

LETTERS PROM THE PEOPLE
=
Mows. Editors :—Why Is It that a city boasting
of the energy and enterprise of Allentown, should
have Its principle thoroughfare In such a disgrace
ful condition as at present ? Every other town of
equal size and pretensionS has at least one street,
in which you can drive without sinking six or
eight inches Into the mud, and which predestrians
can cross without going over shoe-top In filth.—
Certainly the people of Allentown can appreciate
cleanliness. Hamilton street was Macadamized
last sutnmer;at great expense. Would It not be
wise, to serape up the road collections of nearly a
year and cart them away. There are boles, too,
W'hich should be filled with broken stones nt once.
Whose business is It to see to these things I Ifihe
authorities do not give It their attention, the busi
ness men of the street should do it for them.
ALLENTOWN; Feb. 10, 18110. A MEUCIIINT
rl=l
Mews. Ealitors:—ln order that the voters of
this city may vote Intelligently on the question of
purchasing the Water Works of the present Com
pany, more light is needed. The writer of this,
at least, needs more knowledge of the situation,
and in attempting to converse on the subject, It Is
evident that others also are In the same Incompe
tent condition.
It would be well, Messrs. Editors, if some one,
who is posted on the history and relations of the
Water Company, would give to the public the exact
condition of the question. Iles the city now any
claim, or right in the matter? Is it wholly volun
tary with the Company to furnish the city with
water or not? Is the project of selling founded
on a desire to sell at a speculation price 1. What
would the city have to lay? What is the condi
tion of the works—the machinery fur raising the
water-4ho reservoirs—the mains—the pipes to?
If the machinery is about worn out—lf the mains
arc too small—or if they are laid within reach of
frost—or are In a bad condition, the city might
make a losing bargain by purchasing the present
works at any price.
Besides, It Is a question with some, whether
better water might not be had from other springs,
or creeks. Our present water Is" hard. It Is not
the best for drinking, cooking or washing, because
of the large amount of lime whiel Is held In solu
tion. Soft and good water, It Is thought, might be
obtained from some elevation south of the city, so
that the raising, machinery could be dispensed
with. Or, If machinery is Indispensable, it . might
be good policy, after all; to obtainpure, soft
Is not the spring north of the Poor House, (Hel
frich's), higher than the city?
I write for the purpose of eliciting InforMation.
Thei'question Is one In which the people of this city
have a vital interest, and It is vary desirable for
them to understand it thoroughly. IA us had
light.

The Reading Eagle has decreased the
of its columns and the size of Its paper. As
the matter from this little daily is put into the Ga

will not continue to spoil the appearanee of their
excellent weekly.

110 W THEY TAI.K-TO PICKPOCKETS IN NEW JER
BEY.—AI Jersey City, on Friday last, a pickpocket
WRB brought up in the Hudson county Court for
sentence, and the Judge talked to kiln in the fol
lowing good old-fashioned style :
We are satisfied you belong too gang'of thieves.
The Court are also satisfied that at the time you
picked the oem's pocket you were not alone. The
Court are also satisfied it is the same old game
that Is played by persons such as you are, getting
Into ontuibuses;cars, and so on. It is not very oft
en that we get hold of Just such a customer ns you
are. AS a rule, persons of your profession gene
rally seek some other territory besides this forthat
kind of business. The Court wants them to con-
tinue to do It, too, somewhere else besides here.
They trill probably have to get out of New York
pretty soon the way the Judges over there
are punishing for crimes now ; it Is right,
too. The Court do not mean they shall come over
here, If we can help it; nt least, if they do, they
came over here with great risk. There Is only
one thing that makes the Court hesitate at all in
these cases. Between you and the officer sonic
understanding Wag come to lit regard to the ob
taining and delivery of the watch. But there Is
too much of this thing going on—thieves stealing
bonds, money, picking poekets,ete., and then bar
gaining for the return of the property, by which
means they sometimes save themselves front the
State prison, and make some money. There is a
great deal of that business going on In New York,
as can he seen by looking at the advertisements in
the newspapers. This bargaining with thieves
may do very well for the purpose of getting pri
vate property hack, but it is serious so far as the
public are concerned. A man on whom a crime
Is committed ought to divulge it, and not cotnpro
mise with a thief, and au officer should make no
such arrangements with a robber. The Court had
fixed to send you to the State Prison for five years,
but considering this In your favor,.the sentence is
that you be confined at hard labor in State Prison
for four years.

It is with a grateful feeling that I feel able to
make the following statement for the benefit of
those who are suffering front Scrofula and other
Chronic Diseases. My wife had been suffering for
several vents from tumors or swellings on her neck
which after a time would gather and discharge
matter, leaving a running sore. She had been
treated for more than a year by most eminent
physicians without receiving any permanent ben
efit, her disease becoming worse, until she had live
of these running sores on her neck, when I em
ployed Dr. 11. D. Longaker, under whose treat
ment she commenced to Improve very fast, the
sores on her neck to heal, and all her unpleasant
and disagreeable symptoms gradually to disap
pear, until her health was restored, which was in
about four months. IRC perfectly instilled,
after having tried the treatment of other physi
cians, in recommending all those who are suffer
ing from Scrofula or .Chronic Diseases to Dr.
Longaker for medical treatment, with a firm be
lief that they will be satisfied, benehtted-and cured
thereby, as my wife has been.
