To-Both')Eus.—The flimsy character of the
partitions In most American modern built houses,
or at least these fur sale, is a mutter of coin non
notoriety. The French understand this matter
better, or at least adopt a better method. Instead
of light lath for these thin partitions, they use
slant pieces of oak as thick as garden palings, *
which they flail firmly on each side of the poll
tieo, and till the spaces between with rubble and
plaster of" !'aria. The partition Is then coated
with plaster. This makes a firm, warm and dur
able inside wall or partition.'

ingenuity In the manufacture of a small loom for
the purpose of weaving miniature carpets. The
materials for the posts, sides, stays, treadles, &e.,
were obtained by pulling down an old shelf which
hung In the corner of the cell. The shuttle is made
front a piece of hard wood broken or a pair of
shoetnaker'3 clanips.the headlets are made of shoe
maket's twine with eyelets of leather, his warp Is
made of the same kind of twine as the headlets,
and plenty of different colored rags tire at hand
for his weft or filling. It cost the boy two weeks'
labor with Lis old knife to accomplish the task, of
which he seems very proud. The carpet he weaves
is about a foot in Width.

SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS.
—There arrived at the Merchant's Hotel, this

man, who was barn in Lehigh county three.quar
tern of a century ago. Ills family moved to West
Penn township, this county, when he was three
years of , age, In which place he has resided ever
shice—n period of seventy-two years. In all this,
of course, there is nothing remarkable. Bur It Is
a little surprising that he should grow up to this
advanced age without ever having seen or ridden
00 a railroad car, or visiting Pottsville, the capi
tal of the county, until last Friday: lie Was Liston
ished ut what he saw In our borough, and partic
ularly so at the gas lights. Ile couldn't Imagine
how those Iron candles could be made to emit such
a brilliant light. While the old gentleman was
amaz,d at what he saw around him, he little
thought what allying curiosity he himself was as
the great throng of people poured into the Mer
chant's Ilotel during the evening to see the man
seVentyAlve years old who had never before seen
a railroad car, a gas light, or been in Pottsville .
He was, indeed, the greatest curloSity In town, be

Saturday Eventay.—lst, An
_Address, by M. N.
Bernhard, of A Beni own ; 2d, An Address, by Rev.
S. A. Leinbach, o f coolay.
THE Judge has informed the Grand Jury
that `! whatever abuses exist, if any, should there
be reasonable ground of suspicion for them, should
be Investigated by the Grand Jury." We do not
think this is the kind of investigation the people
desire. If the Judge 'bad Instructed the Grand
Jury that, if they found reasonable grounds for
suspicion that the accounts of the County had not
been properly and systematically kept,they should
authorize the Court to appoint a committee to
investigate the County affairs, then we should ex
pect the Court to uppoint a committee of skilled
accountants who would be competent to go back
for years and examine all the vouchers and all the
accounts of the county. This would be a very ex
pensive job If It was done by the Grand Jury, as it
would occupy a considerable length of time, and,
too, the question arises are there any number of
the mem b ers of the Grand Jury who are compe
bAit to go through the accounts ? A committee of
experts, composed of three Republicans and two
Democrats would give better satisfaction. They
would be sworn and they could not, therefore,
safely make any report which could not be sus—
tained by the facts, and the preponderance of lit
publicans on the committee would deprive any—
body of the chance to say that a job of whitewash—
ing had been done, should the committee fail to
discover any dishonest intention in the committing
of the errors which have been reported by the
Auditors.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Columbia, June 10,1866.
Stu: I have made full and satisfactory test of
the spectacles procured from you, and I have the
pleasure to say that the glasses are betteradapted
to my eyes than any I have ever used. The Len
ity with which you ratted the glnsees to my eyes
furnished me conclusive evidence of your scientific
skill in Optics mud sour thorough experience as
nu Ocull,t.
Your attainments in your professiotventitic you
to the confidence, patronage and gratitude of the
public. I have the honor to be.
Very respectfully yours,
JANIES L. Otto,
Governor of SJUth Carolina.
Dr. If. Bernhardt, Charlatan, S. C.
PROVIDENCE, PA., Dec. 5, 1868
" Yesterday afternoon I casually dropped Into
the rooms of Dr. Bernhardt, at the Wyoming
House, Scranton. I was surprised to find the
multiplicity of instruments and glasses wherewith
the Doctor remedies the infirmities and defects 01
the eye. A patient, unable with the naked eye
hardly to distinguish a wagon passing in the street,
also called. By ildjusting on, of his selected
glasses to her eye, she could read a sign across the
street with such case as to astonish and delight
her. I have been familiar with the Lackawanna
Valley and Its medical men for the greater part
of a century,but I have no knowledge of any Ocu
list or Optician ever visiting it before who was half
so well qualified to remedy the defects of the hu
man eye upon correct, successful principles as this
really ingenious gentleman. Ills method of pre
serving and improving this all important organ,
Is based on such plain, practical common sense,as
to be readily appreciated and applied. I can
cheerfully"corn mend him to all as worthy of the
large patronage and consideration accorded him."

A T.T.ENTOWN, April 81h 1871
To tho Editor of the CHRONIC.
My attention has been called to,the fact that a
person representing himself to be Dr. Morris
Bernhardt, the Oculist and Optician, has been
traveling through this county and imposing upon
the people by pretending to sell glasses of superior
quality, and to select them by extiaordlnary pro
fessional skill. I desire to caution the public
against this swindler. I haver.o peddlers travel
ing anywhere in my interest and do not leave the
office on professional business in which I give no
tice that lam located. Tho person referred to
Ilan been doing business in the vicinity of the Le
high Mountain, and has been showing my hand
bills to effect his purpose. Mr. Solomon Mory and
Mr. Gotthard Mory, residing in Saucon township,
and persons whose names I have not obtained,
have been victimized by this sharper. I trust that
after this exposure, the character of this pretender
will be estimated at its proper standard. Reputa
tion to a professional man Is like a Jewel beyond
all price, and having been endorsed by the lead
ing savants and the professional men in this coun
try and Europe, I feel it my right to protest most
earnestly against this Imposter who thus seeks to
injure a professional reputation based upon the
careful study and research of years.
I hereby Mter a reward of tt2s fur the arrest and
conviction of this man who has been swindling
the public by these false pretences.

Bethlehem Correspondence.
I.lr:TaLaucm, March 7, 1872
A gloomy, rainy day makes It disagreeable to
go outside, so quietness reigns supreme In this
town. On Saturday the town was very lively fur
once. That liveliness was immensely appreciated
by the business men hereabouts. A considerable
portion of Main street Is to be renovated in city
style. Carts and cellar diggers are busy as bees
all day long. There are to be erected some six or
eight fronts, between the Sun hotel and Market
street. Otherwise there arc not many new build
ings under way as yet. Rumor has It that a young
man connected with the railroad here, Is among
the missing, caused by domestic Infelicities. lie
may return ; if not, his grass-widowed wife will
possibly have ample time to ponder the causes of
his desertion at leisure.
We see by the Thnes that the question of County
Superintendency of Common Schools isengrossing
a considerable space in that Journal. Mr. Walker,
the present lecumbent, is out In a three-column
article urging his claims for a third term. Being
not personally well acquainted with. Mr. Walker,
the present official, yet, I think he has given tol
erable satisfaction during his term of office. I
have not clearly learned who his competitorsare,or
what degree of opposition there will be. One
point Is made, It scums—at least Mr. Walker re
buts the eaton—which is rotation after two terms.
A long array of'counties is cited to show the con
trary rule throughout the Slate.
The best real argument for a plurality of terms
however seems to be the long known fact that
ofilcials die but do not often resign. Some teach
ers with whom I had conversation lately, seem to
thiuklhat a Superintendent very lougin office be
comes entirely too theoretical, getting further and
further away from actual practical teaching. But
above all looms up still the unsettled question : Is
the office of much good ?
Salem Lutheran Church Is to be considerably
enlarged or fundamentally rebuilt, the building
being entirely too small to accommodate all its
members. For some time there was a movement
on foot to separate Into an English and German
congregation, and to build a new edifice for the
one party, but no division could thus be effected
except for the outgoing seceders to go away empty
handed ; hence the other alternative resolved on.
And this we think decidedly the best policy. The
constant dly slon of churches into sickly little beg
ging congregations le certainly of but little good
to any place, while large, strong, wealthy and
milted organizations artrable to get along and to
assist their deserving poor in secular affairs. But
your correspondent will not dictate.
News Is scarce; our town le quiet. This often
reminds me of the farmer who got a new tenant,
and upon being congratulated upon having such
a" steady" man In bla employ, answered-very
earnestly, " Steady 1 yes, he is only too 'featly.'
So our town Is often only too quiet. Nano.
