Mr. Ingram: Permit me through your
useful paper, which has heretofore appro-
priated some space to local matters, to say
word about BLooMsBURG, and refer to
some little matters which think are want.
ing to improve its appearance, g. add TO the
health of its citizens. There are few villa
ges more beautifully located than Blooms
burg, and very few, imagine, of the same
size and population, in which more busi-
ness is transacted. But what matters the
delightful situation, unless the hand of art
be employed i'll giving a cheerful and neat
aspect TO its streets and dwellings. There
are but few, very few dwellings, whose
fronts have been touched with the brush of
painter; and but few also who have the
advantage ofpavements. This, certainly,
is sheer neglect in the owners; for while
these Improvements would enhance the
value of the property, and give the charac-
ter of beauty to the village in which they
are constructed, they would also add per-
mauency to the buildings, and afford in
creased comfort and convenience to their
inmates. The cost would be trining to
each owner of property, when compared
with the advantages; and | sincerely hope
that this gentle hint may have the desired
efect,-that our streets may be cleansed of
wood-ples and rubbish-the dwellings
painted-pavements constructed--and the
appearance of the village and the health of
its citizens become theme of admiration
to travellers.

THE BANKs-THE PEOPLE.

The recent refusal of the Banks to re-
deem their bills with specie has not only
opened the eyes Of the community to the
dangerous character of such monied mon
opolies, but has excited distrust amongst
all classes that will eventually render their
issues an unacceptable nuisance. This has
been the effect in our own neighbourhood.
Many farmers positively refuse to take the
notes ofany Bank; and where they cannot
obtain specie for their commodities they
prefer taking the individual note of the pur-
chaser. The reason is obvious. The
Banks, in suspending specie payments,
have violated their moral obligations, ile-
gally abused the confidence ahd operated
against the interests of community, and by
their unjust and oppressive measures have
forfeited all claims upon the peoples good
feelings and wishes. We apprehend that
this prejudice will not be of short duration;
Tor insult, in many instances, has been ad-
ued to lnJury, and retrbutive justice has
been doomed by the aggrieved. The next
Legislature ofPennsylvania will act upon the
Banking system; and if we are not much in
error in Judging of 'the signs of the tines
there will be reformation accomplished
which will prevent recurrence of such
breaches of faith. Those few Banks, whose
Directors have exhibited their solvency,
by piedging their private estates for all the
debts and liabilities of the Bank, may OBJ
tain grace until their present charters ex.
pire; but the residue will fall sacrifice to
their own corrupt and stubborn course of
policy, and be permitted to settle up their
affairs as soon as possible.

A CRYING sHAME---A western paper as
serts "that there are in the city of New
York, seventy-thousand unmarried fema-
les" Surely the Matrimonial Bank has
not broken, and refused to take up its notes!
Perhaps the fault rests with the clergymen,
who probably insist on having specie for
their services. If this be the case, they had
better take what they can get, rather than
suffer 50 many thousand maidens to stand
with tears in their eyes, signing for their
spouses. Such state of things cannot eX-
ist long. Government must speedily adopt
some remedy, or there will be insurrection.
One half the girls are already pouting their
pretty lips, and looking treason. a. a breath

Congress will if required, undoubtedly pass
the following bill, which would set matters
at rest.
"a Bill providing for the relief of 10000
spinsiers of the city of New York, and other
purposes"
Be 1t enacted, &c. That on and after the
date of the passage of this bill, all clergymen
are hereby required to marry, and duly fas-
ten in the bonds of Hymen, withoutfee or
charge, any maiden or maidens of said city
who may make application therefor, &c.
No representative would be base enough
to oppose its passage, as if the bill should
be lost, what would these seventy thousand
poor maidens do. Heigho.

TEA AND COFFEE.

Every housewife knows how to make
herb tea The herbs are put in cup or
dish, hot water turned upon them, and they
are suffered 10 steep-why not boil Be-
cause a large portion Of medicinal virtues,
and the principle Of flavor, the most volatile
property they contain, is dssipated by boil
nr, aud the virtues Of the tea lost. In the
process . boiling and fermentation, the nat
ural flavor aud aroma of the choicest vege-
liable productions are dissipated or changed.
Yet though every woman knows how TO
make herb tea, lew seem 10 know how TO
make green or black tea, or coffee or
knowing, do not reduce their knowledge Ia
practice. A mistaken economy, TO get all
Inc strength, induces them generally, 10
boil the latter well, and often the former |;
and the consequence is, that instead OF a
grateful, refreshing beverage, they'give us
n dull acrid or nsipid substitute ,tretainihg
nothing pleasant but the color or heat. The
aroma, which gives to the liquor its value,
and which should be recognized by the
nose as well as the palate, is gone-wth
the steam, and with it much Of the flavor.
They not only boil out the strength, but they
waste it..
Now, without intending to Infringe upof
The prerogatves Of the good vile, we
do advise, that she will make her green ant
black as she docs her herb tea, without boil
ing and that she will only leach her cot
fee, by putting it, when recently burnt, and
fresh ground into a strainer, fitted TO the
Top of her coffee-pot, and turning upon it as
much boiling water as would suffice in the
old mode. We can assure our fair read
ers, from reason as well as experience, that
this is the best way, not only TO crafty the
taste, but to promote economy. Less tea
and coffee are required in The sleeping and
teaching, than in the boiling process, and
the beverage obtained by The mode recoHI-
mended, is more tonic, eXhlerallng and
pleasant.
