Ile cats ground glass and partakes of quicksilver from the back of mirrors but without. arlY effect. Allentown Passenger Railway.—Cars will leave the depot corner of Ninth and Munition etrecte at 7 and 8.18 a. m., to ran to the Lehigh and Bnequehatina Depot to meet the new trains which commenced running on that road on Mon day. great Reduction.—Our enterprising manu facturer of woolen goods, 'Mr. Henry Gabriel, In consequence of the overAtocklug of the market, will retail eassimeres, flaline'lB, carpets, etc., at wiMiesrde prices.

Hunsberger, have been appointed a committee by Pest No. 13, Grand Army of the Republic, to make arrangenteuta for decorating soldiers' graves, on Sunday, May 30th. Reported Recapture.—The reported recap ture of Azer, the forger, who escaped from our county jail some weeks since, Is untrue. The re port probably originated from tlie fact that the Commissioners received a dispatch from Mount Bethel asking what; reward was offered for A zer. The reward advertised is $lOO. Clean Up.—Mayth; Good has glvem public notice of his intention to enforce the several ordi nances of the city relating to the cleaning of streets, alleys, lanes and cellars, and to remove from the cellars, streets, alleys, lanes, gutters and lots, all garbage,ebbish, coal ashes, cinders, and other nuisances inlukons to the public health. Minairay.—The practice of leaving horses stand unhitched In the streets is reprehensible. Yesterday a horse standing at the northwest corner of Sixth and Hamilton streets lett very sud denly and ran into ail awning pOst on the oppo site corner fortunately doing no other datuage than breaking, the shafts of the wagon. Notice to Sobecrib . era.—Our subscribers are requested to remember that we have purchased the subscription books of TILE REGISTER office and set tlement of all back as well as advance subscriptions must be made at this office.

The Reduction Still Goes On.—As the time approaches for the drawing of the Good -4111 Gift Enterprise the numherof tickets In the hands of the managers decreases rapidly, and will not now• amount to two hundred. These can all be dls- posed of In a, few days and those Intending to em bark In this enterprise, unless they take Time by the forelock, *ill be deprived of the opportunity to secure a Mize. Therefore make no delay but buy tickets at once. Afire old Coin.—On Thursday night ,thF house of Peter Weikel, on Seventh street, adjoin ing the Allentown National Bank, was entered by a burglar, who It is supposed was In search of about two thousand dollars worth of old coin which was kept In the dining room, but which was lately deposited In bank. Nothing was known of the entrance until morning, when the servant entering the dining room discovered it In rather a disorder ly condition, but the only thing missinika small box containing thirty cents, not a very reward for the avaricious gentleman's labors. GoM Neuis for Coluototera of Gaa.—There Id no longer any neeepelty for people being subJect to gas-making monopolies. Every housekeeper should call at C. W. Stutter's, Walnut street, corner of Penn, and witness the workings of Stratton's Portable Air Gus Machine. Go, whether you want to purchase or not. No charge for showing the apparatus as it works itself and requires little or no attention. It Is the cheapest thing out, and lu many cases will more than pay its cost the first year from the saving in the cost of gas. Persons residing beyond the precincts of gas companies should not for a moment think of beinrwithout it. . A Beerleas Sunday —Long were the faces and deep were the imprecations of the lager-loving Alleutonlaps last Sunday because tkair favorite beverage was denied them. During last week, at the request of some of the citizens of Lehigh, we are informed, Judge Longaker instructed the con stables of the county to prevent the sale of spirit one and malt liquors on Simdays, and promptly at twelve &clock on Saturday night the deyotees of the exlllerating Said were informed that lager would not be sold until Monday morning. Slowly and sorrowfully the little groups who had been enjoying a social glass wended their way home ward, there to ponder on the calamity that had overtaken them, and to submit, with their charac teristic grace, to the inexorable decree of Fate—or. the Court. Burglary. During Tuesday night week sonic person or persons entered the dwelling of Mr. Joins Klein, South Seventh street below Wal nut, and stole therefrom all the. meat of three large hogs, which the owner had prepared for the summer season, and a gold watch. It appears that on Tuesday the family missed one of the keys to the back door, and supposing that one of the boarders had the key in his possession paid no particular attention to the loss, but the fact of the house being robbed creates an opinion that sonic evil disposed person stole it with the intention of simplifyiug his burglahous operations. The meat was kept in barrels on the third floor of the house and the watch in a bureau drawer on a second floor room. How the scoundrels managed to carry off these articles without alarming the inmates of the•house is rather mysterious. The value of the articles stolen Is about one hundred and fifty dol. Mrs.—News. Many Things.—The Bethlehem mica says the Allentown post-office is worth $4,000. The Blue Book says 52400. Job Work done at the REGISTER office will rival New York work both In Style and PRICE.

A third ratl will be Immediately laid to Elmira, and eventually to Buffalo which will make a coal route to the lakes further west than the I). L. &W. route. In thisconnection we understand that the Lehigh Valley road will come into direct competition with the D. L. & W. road, and there seems to be good cause for congratula tion on this project, as while It Is a narrow gague route to the west from this Immediate vicinity, It will also make a route not controlled entirely by one corporation, and will therefore give our Ind!- ' vidual operators a chance to throw their coal Into the Western market, and by making a lively com petition in that section Increase the demand here. And a demand being made, there would be good prices, and certainly no occasion for these rumors In retard to strikes.—Scranton A./publican.

WElonnro CATTLE sty MEAsunE.--An ex cbaugdglves the following rules for approximat ing the weight of live stock b,y measurement. Perhaps some of our readers will be disposed to try them and give us the result. If the dressed weight of a live animal can be nearly approxima ted by them, they will prove of real value to the buyers and sellers of stock. The girth is the cir cumference of the animal Just behind the shoulder blades. The length is the distance from the shoul der blades; The superficial feet are obtained by multiplying the girth by the length. If less than one foot in girth, multiply superficial feet by eight. If less than three, and more than one, multiply superficial feet by eleven. If less than five, and more than three, multiply superficial feet by six teen. If less than seven, and tnorethan five, mul tiply superficial feet by twenty-five. If less than nine, and more than seven, multiply superficial feet by thirty-three. If less than eleven, and more than nine, multiply superficial feet by forty-two. .:Example : Suppose the girth of a bullock to be six feet three inches, length five feet six inches ; the superficial area will then be thirty-four; and, in aceordance with the preceding rules, the weight will be seven hundred and eighty-two pounds. Example : Suppose a pig to measure to girth two feet, and in length one foot and nine inches. There would then be three and n half feet, which multiplied by eleven, gives thirty-eight and a half pounds as the weight of the animal. BOGUS ADVERTISING MEDIUMB.—Thero are thousands upon thousands of merchants in this ' enterprising country today who do not advertise, but have tried the experiment at some time. Al though It has proved an advantage to every one and a fortune to many who have tried It, there arc men without number who would as soon throw money into the street as pay for an advertlsethent. They have tried advertising, they say, and they reaped no benefit from it. It doesn't pay. And why not? Because they have overlooktd the legitimate channel of commuulcation with the public, the columns of first-class newspapers, and gone into some' novelty, something gotten up to " take in" just such people as avoid newspapers. This class of men subscribe for a thousand envel opes with ten cards printed ou the buck, and they say "That is a good advertisement," and expect an immediate rush of customers after the first envelope Is sent by mall. They forget that nearly all the correspondence of merchants is with other merchants at a distance, and that the envelope is thrown %to the waste basket as soon as the letter is opened. Besides, It takes probably a year be fore the ten thousand envelopes are used and the advertisement sent into ten thousand hands, while any weekly newspaper will send the same card into fifty to a hundred thousand households during the your for the same price. Then some one conceives the Idea of a frame with painted cards arranged very attractively. It. Is pat up in a depot, and strangers returning home read what business men say therein, and say,'" If I had known It I should have gone there," but forget all about it when they again visit the town. To dry goods merchants .particularly these me diums are worse than useless, while the columns of almost any newspaper, however small its circu lation, are Worth many lithos their cost; at the class of purchasers to be galnod are the ladles, nine out of every ten of whom read all the adver tisements that appear la tho family paper.

It is with a guileful feeling that I feel able to make the following statement 'for the benefit of those who are 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 had berm treated for more than a year by most eminent physicians without receiving any permanent ben efit, her disease becoming worse, until she bad live of these running sores on her neck, when I em ployed Dr. H. D. Longaker, under whose treat ment she commenced to Improve very fast, the sores nn her neck to heal, and all her unpleasant and disagreeable symptoms gradually to distil , ' pear, until her health was restored, which was in about four months. I feel perfectly Justified, after having tried the treatment of other physi cians, In recommending nil those who are suffer ing frosts Scrofula or Chronic Diseases to Dr. Longaker for medical treatment, with a. Lire be lief that they will be satisfied, benctitted and cured thereby, as my wife has been. [Signed.] JAMES BARNER. Dr. 11. D.
