VANLIK.MARK'S tobacco, and has also purchasd
the latler's horse.
LKNGTII OK LIKK.—The following table
is one that is used by London insurance com
panies, showing the length of life at various
ages. It lias been the result of careful caleu
lation, and seldom and prematuae deaths, as
well as lives unusually extended occasionally
occur, hut this is a table of average expectan
cy of life of an ordinary man or woman. A
person one year old may expect to live thir
ty-nine years longer; of ten years, fffty-one;
of twenty years, forty one: thirty years,
thirty-four: forty vcars, twenty-eight; fifty
years, twenty one; cf sixty years, fourteen;
of seventy years nine, of eighty rears, four.
Our readers will easily gather from the above
tabulated statement the number of vcars to
which their lives, according to the law of av
erages may reasonably be expected to ex
tend.
The lons standing suit against the Packer
estate is once more engrossing attention in
Carhoti county. On Wednesday, September
7, the case was brought up in Argument
Court in Munch Chunk. Hon. S. S. Dreher,
of Stroud-burg, is the President Judge, and
Associate Judges Leonard and Moensden are
on the bench. The counsel for the plaintiffs
are F. Carroll Brewster, Esq., Hon. J. W.
Campbell and Judge William A. Porter, of
Philadelphia. The counsel for tlie estate
are Ferman Shepard, Esq., George W. Biddle
and George Biddle, of Philadelphia. It is
well understood that the claims of the plain
tiff involve a vast amount of money, and are
founded on a contract said to have been en
tered int 25 v ars ago. in which it is a'-
ledg -d that Judge Asa Packer agreed to pay
to Noble, Ilemmet & Co., a two-tenths por
tion of the capital stock of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. The claim amounts to 52.500 f '.000
The arguments are now being made and will
continue for some days.- Easton Express.
HYGIKNIC VALUK OK MlßTH.— Mirth ha
nn hygienic value that can hardly he overra
ted while our social life remains what the sla
very of vices and dogmas has made it. Joy
has been called the sunshine of the heart, yet
the same sun that calls forth the flowers of a
plant is also needed to expand its lives and
ripen its fruits; and without the stimulus of
cxlnlerating pastimes perfect bodily health is
as impossible or moral and mental vigor.
And, as sure as a succession of uniform
crops will exhaust the best soil, the daily rep
etition of a monotonous occupation will wear
out lie best man. Body and mind require
an occasional change of employment, or else
a liberal supply of fertilizing recreations,
and this requirement is a factor whose omKs
i >n often foils the arithmetic of our political
economists.
To the creatures of the wilderness affliction
comes generally in the forms of impending
danger—famine and persistent persecution;
and under such circumstances the modifica
tions of the vital process seem to operate
against its long continuance; well-wishing
Nature sees her purpose defeated, and the
vital energv flags, the sap of life runs to seed.
On the same principle an existence of joyous
drudgery seems to drain thespringsof health,
oven at an age when they can draw upon the
largest inner resources; hope too often baf
fled, at last withdraws her aid; the tongue
may be attuned to chanting hymns of consola
tion, but the heart can not be deceived, and
with its sinking pulse the strength of I f-ebbs
away. Nine-tenths of our city children are
literally starving for lack of recreation, and
uot the means of life, but its object, civiliza
tion has defrauded tliein of; they feel a want
which bread can only aggravate, for only
hunger helps them to forget the misery of
ennui. Their pallor is the sallow hue of a
cellar plant; they would be healthier if they
were happier. I would undertake to cure a
sickly child with fun and rye bread sooner
than with tidbits and tedium.

CALKINS' EMBROCATING EMUL
SION.—J. F. Calkins has been traveling in
the interest of Dr. G. L. Stevens, ol the city of
Cleveland, Ohio, anil in the past three years has vis
ited all the cities and principle towns of our State.
His business has brought him in acquaintance with
many of the most eminent and talented Physicians
in the State, and in his intercourse with them has
gathered a number of valuable prescriptions from
which he has compounded an article he calls Calk
kins' Embrocating Emulsion, used as a lotion.
Many of the citizens of Towanda and surrounding
towns by its use are recommending it as a valuable
treatment for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, local and
chronic pains, back, bead or tooth ache, criek in
neck or back, sprains, bruises, sore throat, quinsy,
burns; &c. Price 25 cents per bottle- Druggists
supplied on liberal terms.
A gentleman in town says, it is the host thing for
burns I ever had in my house.
A lady in Wilksbarre was cured of qViinsy in its
first stages by it when her physician said it could
not be stoppecd.
A young man in Monroe had a severe attack of
Pleurisy the Embrocating Emulsion stopped it at
once. A lady in East Troy says it cured her of In
flammatory Rheumatism with which she was afflic
ted for more than a year, having kept her bed for
weeks at a time.
A lady in Monroe Township sprained her ankle
so severely that she was obliged to keep her foot on
a pillow, by the use of the Embrocating Emulsion
in three days she was doing her house work, and
was at once cured. An old citizen of Ithaca was
afflicted with a pain in his side. He could find
nothing to relieve him. He wns induced to use the
Embrocating Emulsion and writes: F. J. Calkins,
dear sir: Two applications of the Embrocating
Emulsion stopped the pain. I was afflicted with
Itching piles. It also stopped them. It is vcrv
valuable. Signed, J'. Case.
One gentleman who was suffering with a severe
back ache caused by lying in bed for a long time
with sickness was t effectually relieved by three ap
plications of the Embrocating Emulsion.
A lady in our Town who had used the article
said Mr. Calkins ought to make a fortune out of
the Embrocating Emulsion.
A number of Physicians are using it.
The names ol all the above cases can be given
and many more cases added. Try it.
