Letter From Ori'ntal.
Ds!CTt.JunUtaCo., Fa., April 20, 187?.
Mr. Editor : It is a ood while ago since
1 trespassed upon yonr columns the last
time, and as my iuteations at least, are in -mnt,
I hope anotuer little trespass will
not be looked upon as having been eommit.
Ud oith a felonious or ma'.ictous intent.
As you have never traveled through the
eastern portion of this county, I would
bore suggee that you '-harness up" some
da and come around hero to see the sights
round Oriei x. You would, of course,
not tv much real wraith and attiueuce, as
e are too r-rwita Irora Wall Street; but
foe all that, fcc have sumo real nice farms
hi Suwjuebanua township, aud some peas
ants under whose root's xuientnient is the
order ol the day. Among the niodel im
(mvemeuu ol this township allow mo to
nieution the residence, store-room and ho.
trl ail in one building of Mr. Jacob Wei
scr, on the bants r the Pennsylvania ca
nal; the farm build ii.gs and grist mill of
Hon. Jonathan Welter ; the large aud well
tiuisbed residence of Simon Miller, lately
erected on what used to be the David Meis
r property, b'lt more recently Henry Letter'!-.
AUo the brick grist bull of Freuer
k Meiser, opposile 'Jrieutai post office, in
Snyder county, all ol which are ornaments
to the community, aud manifest tbe go-a-bad-ativeness
of some of our citizens
We might mention many more creditable
improvements, but on account of space w ill
postpone.
Crops look promising, and if nothing in
terferes we may expect an abundant harvest.
The first ot April brought about its usual
numbers of changes. Emanuel Long re
moved to Pfouts's Valley, Perry county,
haviug exchanged farms with his brother,
ii-njamin Long. Beujaimn now lives on
the Emanuel farm. Augusta Dinger, mer
chsnt, moved from Oriental, formerly Amos
Miller store stand, to Aliue, Snyder couj
iv. Mr. E. G. Sweatier, formerly of Mc
Kees Falls, succeeds Mr. Dinger in the
mercantile business, having bought the
' property at guardians sale for f 1SK6.
Abel Sheaffer sold his larm, formerly Ja
cob Hare's, and pUclK-I his tcntinDodje
county, Nebraska. John Batman, of Nor
thumberland county, succeeds Mr. ShearTur.
Mr. S. H. Khoads, an able auctioneer of
Liverpool, went into possession of the farm
upon which John Baioes died a few years
ago.
A number of youn men went west; hoi
they may prosper.
Mr. Andrew Kerstettw, near Went's
mill, lost his wife a few weeks ago, aged
about 50 years Shs died of dropsy. She
was the oldest daughter of Luke Marks, ol
Monroe township.
The past w inter was a very severe one
f- r the poorer class of people, thrro has
been a great deal of suffering, and, contra
ry to all predictions, we scarcely know ol a
nt.gie cae of theft that has been commit
ted this winter. People would not only
d.:ny themselves the comforts, bnt even the
necessaries of life, rather than steL Let
that slanderous phrae "poor, bnl honest,"
e -changed or forgotten. I believe the
jor and suflering have more credit upeu
tle records rjf beaven, for abstaining from
depredations during all their sufferings, than
soma ol their mors) fortunate neighbors
have, who, by their oppressions, axe to a
great extent responsible for these sufferings;
although the latter may eAra engafer ia u
tiety for the time beinp. More hereafter.

Mirrurroww, Apr"! 21, 1878.
Uilw Misi-Dits Em: On Friday
rening last I had tha pleascra, in company
with tha genial Conc;y Bnpemtedont, of
visiting tha Pine Grove Literary Society in
Beale township.
At an early hour tbs school house was
crowded by a very respectable aud attantive
audience. The aociety waa called to order
by tha praiiftnt, Mr. D. B. Mc Williams
After roll call end reading of minutes tbe
programme was taken np. Soma excellent
music anl tsw declaaiauona followed, af
ter which a debate, tbe great event of the
wvening was announced.
The question was, Resolved, That Ihe
County Superintendeney is indispensable to
the success of the Common Schools.
The first debater on the affirmative was
Mr. Robert Clark, an active teacher of Beale
township. His arguments were read from
manuscript and, cs a eonseqnence, wars) sot
so well delivered as if they had beea spoken
wilhont. However, there wera many solid
and indisputable arguments given in favor
of tbe SuDerrVendency.
lie waa followed by Mr. D. B. Mc Williams
in tbe negative, who gave many reasons lor
why the Superintendeney should be abol
ished, not tha least of which waa that their
election ia acmetimes controlled by tw'itics.
His hits at the different Superintendents of
the county were humorous and enjoyable
Mr. J. T. Sterrett, on Hie affirmative, an.
awered the arrnments of tha former speak'
or, sod npheld Ore causa of tha Knperin-
tendencr with considerable seal.
But 'Squire Keed tnade&e speech of tha
eveninc. in a manner thai abowad boW ua
tmffled be waa at the weighty argument of
the affirmative. Ho commenced by saying
that the arguments of the other aide remind
d him of what an old lady once said of her
eM calico dress. It waa beautiful for rtg
area and variety, but wry ttia." This waa
followed by a roar of laughter, which greet.
d him again and again, aa be continnea
with great gravity and caustic burner to at
taea the Superintendeney,. declaring it en
tirely unnecessary.
Hr. Clark's mm - w
. rcu was spoken
Without notes, and was the best arguraenu-
l,ILPe?h,0f tbe etDin bdt HUx-t
Minor ' ngtie had Utah tX jadee
by storm.
McWi-Jiuns ai3 feeed oh the negative
and Stewart On the affirmative, made excel
lent speeches again, when the subject was
gir-n into the hands of tbe Judges, and a
I ler of vocal music waa rendered while
they deliberated.
The judges decided In favor of the nega
t i ve. The debate Was spirited, and a credit
to the Society. Many doubtful points were
md by the negative; but as the resolution
was constructed the? had certain! th.
vsntage. It won Id be harder to pnve that
the Superintendeney is indispensable Uai
to prove that w are belter with it than
without it. All seemed to agree that the
present incumbent of the office had per-
lOTinea ms duties well and there were bo
reHections on persons.
Ol course the County Superintendent and
your rcsrur were called upon to talk.

i-atraren wihi their wives and husband?
M't- i
hen the first ot the party to arrive were
nopostcea at fata door, be took it as no more
Uian an ordinary visit, bnt when still other
liildren arrived he began to suspect con
cert of action, and exhibited the emotion
nsturaUat this evidence of filial remera
brance. J
Aftrr congratulations and wishes lor many
returns of the happy occasion, a couple of
hours v.ere pleasantly spent in conversation,
interspersed with music, when the party
sat down to and did justice to a bountiful
dinner, for which preparations had been
quietly made.
The afternoon passed all too quickly in
the same pleasant manner as the previous
hours, aud at tea be was made the recipient
ol a rustic rocking chair, accompanied by
cushion, foot stool and pipe to add to the
comfort of his future.
Mr. Burrhh'ald was uuited in marriage
early in life to Jane, daughter of Patri-k
McKennan whoreided nearly on the spt
where his present bouse stands and ti
getber for nearly 40 years they trod the
patlwty of life when death took her from
his side.
So patient, so faithful, so kindly, so careful.
So qmetly keeping her soul.
The angels ! blessing with tender caressing
Around her in benison stolo.
With sweet benedictions the memory lingers
O'er love that was fine as the dew,
The wife aud the mother no green mold can
cover.
Or bury a friendship so true.
Their offspring numbered twelve, five of
whom are dead and seven living. Litxie,

In the evening hour when each took leave

point on the right side of his belly, t't it
was deemed proper to have an examination

It appeara that on the right side of the how

form the lower curve there is a projection,
the projection has an opening into it, bnt
the opening ia not deep. The verdict of
the doctors, in substance is, that a lemon
or orange seed waa diverted out of the in

mentioned, and that the aeed lay there till
nature formed a hard substance around it,

Going Courtiilg'.
"One of the chief compensations of a
woman's life U found in the fact that ahe
dont have to go a courting." It mast be
confessed that ia these days the modern
belle does her share of the wooing ; bat ahe
does not have to dress np In a stiff collar
and a pair of twots a size loo small for her
and walk np to the cannon's month of her
inamorata's family, consisting of rather,
mother, grandmother, a maiden aunt and
perhaps a dozen broth ors and sisters, and
inquire, in a trembling voice :
Is Miss Arabella at home 1"
Whcneverja man goes a courting every
body seems to know all abont it. His de
meanor tells the observant spectator the bu
siness be is intvnt upon. He might aa well
placard himself, "I'm going courting."
Everybody ia cognizant of it, and looks
knowingly, and asks him if tbe "Northern
lights wera bright Isst night about one
o'clock, and how the market is for kerosene
at Daddy Brown's," and a score of other
quest ions out of place.
We know a young man who is deeply and
we trust successfully engaged in going
courting, aud our warmest sympathies have
been extended toward him. When Sunday
afternoon arrives it is plain that something
is about to happen. He is fidgetty and non
comuiuuicative, and cannot sit in one place
half a minute at a time. Be is continually
interviewing his watch and com mug it
with tbe old eight-day, c(.fS a-abaped clock
in the corner. He looks in tbe glass fro.
queutly, and draws his forward locks bark
and then forward, and combs fiem np andl
pata them down, and is unsatisfied with the
uffect throughout.
The smell of bay runs and berg amot is
apparent. When he shakes his handker
chief, musk is perceptible. His boots shine
like mirrors, and there is a faint smell of
card anion seeds in his breath when he
yawns. He smooths bis budding mustache
with affectionate pats, and leel his Invisible
tide whiskers coulinnslly to make sure they
are there, a fact which ia not established to
out&ide observers by sense of sight. He
tries on his neckties without finding just the
tiling he wants. Then he haa spasms of
brushing his coat that commence with vio
lence and but until one grows nerveus for
far the broad cloth will not be able to stand
the friction.
He declines soup ttat day fordinuer. He
says it is because be is not hungry, but we
know it is because there are onions in it,
and onions, as every one knows, do not
sweeten one's breath to any great extent.
If spoken to suddenly he starts aud
blushes aud looks as guilty as if he sere
stealing something, and directly il one does
not speak to him he goes back to the de
lightful occupation of staring at nothing.
and waiting for tbe hour to creep around
to seven."
The Cucumber.
The cucumber grattlh the festal board
Enshrouded in condiments rare,
And theepicure gleefully rubbeth his paunch
At the sight of the treasure there.
The doctor uiileih a sad-like smite
And givetii a crocodile grcan,
And the maible man goelh out the while
And polisheth up a atone.
The undertaker mourntully asks.
What aill his measure be I"
And the sexton marketh a spot reserved"
All under the sillow tree.
'Tis hard tho times and 'tis scarce thecash
And so with a zestfui joy
We welcome watt to the fitful fruit
That giveth the folks employ.
St. Louu Glob
Hie Uses of the Lemon.
Few people know the value of lemon
j'W'-e. A piece of lemon Donna upon a
corn will cure it in a few days ; it should
be lenewed night and morning. A free use
of the lemon juice and sugar will always
relieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in
tbe spring, but if they wuuld eat a lemon
before breakfast every day for a week with
or without sugar, as they like they would
find it bettor than any medicine. Lemon
juice, used according to this receipt, will
sometimes cure consumption : Put a dozen
lemons into cold water and slowly bring to
a boil ; boil slowly until the lemons are soft
then squeeze until all the juice is extracted;
add sugar to your taste and drink. In this
way, one dozen lemons a day. If they
cause pain, lessen tbe quantity and use only
fiv or six a day, until yon are better, and
then begin again with a dozen a day. Af
ter using five or six dozen the patient wil
begin to'gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold
on to the lemons, and still nse them very
freely for several weeks more. Another
use for lemons is for a refreshing drink in
snmmer, or in sickness at any time. Pre
pare as directed above and add sngar and
wat-r. But in order to have this keep well,
after boiling the lemons sqneese and strain
carefully ; then to every half pint of juice
add one pound of loaf or crushed sugar,
boil aud stir a few minutes, more until the
sugar is dissolved, skim carefully and boU
tie. Tou will get more juice from tbe lem
ons by boiling them, and tbe preparation
keeps better.'
Simple Remedy for Diphtheria.
A few year ago, when diphtheria was ra
ging in England, a gentleman accompanied
the celebrated Dr. Field en hie rounds to
witness the so-called "wonderful cures"
which he performed, while the patients of
others were dropping on all sides. Tbe
remedy, to be so rapid, must be simple. AU
he took with him waa powder of sulphur
and a quill, and with these he cured every
patient without exception. He put a toa-
spoonful of flour of brimstone into a wine
glass of water, and stirred it with his fin
gers, instead of a spoon, as the sulphur
does not resdily amalgamate with water.
When the sulphur was well mixed be gave
it as a gargle, and In ten minutes the pa
tient waa oat ol danger. Brimstone kills
every species of fungus in a man, beast and
plants in a few minutes. Instead of spitting
out the gargle, be recommended the swat
lowing of it. In extreme cases, in which
be had beea called just in the nick of time,
whew tbe fungus waa too nearly closing to
allow the gargling, be blew the sulphur
through a quill into tbe throat, and after
the fungus had aTjunk to allow it, then tbe
gargling. He never lost a patient from dip
theria. If a patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal, put it on a shovel and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of floor of brimstone at a
tune upon it, let the sufferer Inhale it, hold
ing the head over It, and the fangua will
die.

B JAME3 D. McCABE,
There has long been a great and univer
sally.lvlt want of a History of the World
suitable for general use. This want is now
being supplied by the National Publishing
Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., Chicago, III., St.
Louis, Mo., and Dayton, Ohio, whe have is
sued a handsome volume, entitled "The
Pictorial Uittory of tho World," by James
D. McCabe, a well-known historical writer.
This work will, undoubtedly, take rank as a
Standard Histcry. It is the most valuable
book that has been published in this coun
try for many years. It contains a separate
and admirably written history of every na
tion of ancient and modern times, and is
full of valuable information concerning
them, presented in popular style, and in a
manner that will enable the reader to refer
instant'y to any snbject upon which Infor
mation is desired. The book is a complete
treasury of history, and there is not a ques
tion that can be asked concerning any his
toncal subject, but an answer to it can be
found in this work. The author does not
content himself with a mere dry statement
of facts, bnt sketches the life and manners
of the various nations of which he treats,
in life-like colors, and presents to the read
er the causes which led to the prosperity
and decay of the great powers of the world.
He shows us the various great men the
warriors, statesmen, poets, sages, and ora
tors of ancient and modern tirrea, and
makes them familiar to the reader; he ex
plains the secret motives of their actions,
and points oat the lessons which is a full
Hillary of fas latt War between Riutim end
Tnrkey.
This is the only complete History of the
World in print, and it should be read by
every intelligent person. We are constant
ly called upon to discuss the great questions
of history, and tbe wars and quarrel of
the ml ions of the old world require us to
be continually refreshing our historical
knowledge. This work offers the best
means of obtaining the information the
people need. It is compact, easy of refer
ence, and strictly seen rate, and presents to
tbe resder a mass of information respect
ing ancient, medinval and modern history
not to be found in any ouer book.
It is comprised in one large royal octavo
volume of 11SO double eolutnu pages,
magnificently embellished with over &&Q
flue engravings illustrative of the events
recorded in the narrative, embracing battles
and other historical scenes ; portraits of tlje
great mew of ancient and modem tiroes i
views of the principal Cities of tbe world.
and of noted places and public "buildings,
executed by tbe best artists and engravers
of Europe and America. "'
The engravings in this book are genuine
works of art, and were made at a rost of
over 935,000' The great Bomber and
high character of these engravings make
thia tbe moat valuable art publication of tbe
eentary.
We cannot too highly praise the numer
ous and beautiful portraits of historical
person agea with which it abounds.

of which has conferred su evealasting bless

Queen City skirt suspenders for supporting
ladies' skirts, the most desirable and bene
ficial article ever invented for the relief of
women, many of whom have suffered years
of miserable health caused solely by carry,
ing tbe weight of a number of skirts, com
pletely dragging them down. Something
to support Udies' clothing is absolutely
necessary. These suspenders are recom
mended by oar leading physicians to all la
dies and yonng girls. Every lady should
have them. They are sold only through la
dy agena. A splendid opportunity ia offer
