ADVICE.

Neai's Gazette, noticing the frequent accidents
oy hre, offers these sensible hints: at almost
seems as VI caution in this respect, were words
.hroWn away; but yet parents should be earnest
~ ADVISED so to clothe their children, in woollens
or otherwise, that such frightful accidents may
Dc prevented; while all should be ,aught that
when the dress does take fire. the safest course to
ne pursued is instantly to lie down, when the
flames advance slowly and are easily extinguish-
ca. When children or any other persons are
mus In peril, losing all selfpossession, as is usu-
ally the case, throw them down, if necessary to
use iorcible means, and roll them in the carpet,
or wrap them tightly in coat, a blanket, or in
any thing that may be at hand but on TO ac-
count suffer them to run screaming about, increas.
ing the hre at every motion, and perhaps inhaling
name. Nor must they be permitted to stand e.
rect-doa0n i'stant!y!-thai is the first thing to
De done; and when down, q cloth of any kind
VIII serve as an eXtinguisher. If that is not
within reach, it can be done as last resort with
the hands alone, though not without injury Still,
however, this is not to be regarded with life at
stake. But, above all in such cases, be calm
and composed. Do not give way to panic, whe-
sher the danger assas you or another for this
species of frmness is more at the command of
the Will than is generally supposed and if people
were taught this truth, as well as to be ashamed
OF losing selt-possesson, there would be much
less OF fnghtful accident. Check the first impul-
ses to wild excitement, and the rest is compara
lively easy.''

REDUCTION OF TOLLS!

We are gratifed to announce to our readers
that the Board of Directors of the James River
and kanawha Company, at its late merln. in
Richmond, resolved upon a further reduction Of
tolls upon several leading articles, as follows !:
Upon Flour and Wheat, from p cts. per ton per
mile to cents; upon Tobacco Of all kinds. from
81 TO cents; upon Stems from % to , cents !;
and upon Salt FROM to 3 cents. The effect OF
the reduction made last Spring has been. we are
glad to hear, an augmentation of the revenue of
the Company, and we have no doubt it will be
farther increased by the recent action OF the
Board.
The revenue Of the Company for the year end
ing on the LIST of November, 1914, was $4,000.
The reduction Of tolls last Spring was equivalent
to about Is per cent. of the entire tonnage. New
ertheless, the revenue OF the present fiscal year,
ending on the LIST of November last, was $780,
600, being an increase of SO 900 upon the prece-
ding year, and showing that there has been a
very considerable increase of tonnage upon the
line.-Lynch6urg Yirgimian.

A PARAGRAPH FOR THE LADIES

:. A writer from New York, speaking of the La
dies fashions, in that City, remarks that Bon
nets have changed from the utra-coa-scuttle
shape, to the sugar-dipper school of outline; and
that the amount of ornament by which they are
overwhelmed is positively barbarous TO give
an idea to lady readers, of Broadway bonnet at
this present writing, he describes il as follows:
"a bonnet of purple velvet, trimmed inside with
orange and lilac flowers, or nends of ribbon, or
both lntermixed-broad satin ribbon on the ont
side, heavy with flowers, and tremendous droop-
ing feather surmounng all, and streaming in the
wind like pennant of Commodore's shin I:
dresses, scarfs, &c. all "to match.'' There is
quite mixture and rivalry Of the white and red,
the green, the yellow, the blue, the scarlet, the
orown' the azure, the cherry-colored, &c. &C.;
and he remarks "Washngton Irving's idea that
women have one fashion they never chanpe-the
fashion Of looking as much as possible like but
terhy--is here fully verified.

BRANDRETH'S PILLS.

NRGIN OF EVERY DISEASE, AND THE
q MEANS OF CURE.-In the year 1875, lie Row
clearly demonstrated that every disease originated
from impure or ndigcsted particles, becoming mixed
with the blood and fluids And also, that every
disease, was only necessary open the natural out
lets OF the body, and allow them remain open by
which means the blood and other fluids would release
themselves from these undgcsed impure PARTICLES
and state OF health would be certain to cnsuc.
The Royal Institute OF France awarded to him for this
discovery the Gold Medal of the Institute.
This is historical fact.
All which the Brandrcth Vegetable Universal Pills
profess to do is TO carry this principle and

ALBANY AND BOSTON RAILROAD.

We learn from the Albany Atlas that the trade
on this road is unusually active. 1t says:
"Extra freight trains of twenty and thirty cars
are dispatched day and night, but still the large
mass of freight in the warehouses does not seem
to diminish. There is now more flour, &c. a
waiting shipment than will probably be sent away
for weeks after the canal closes. This is no fault
of the directors, for it is known far and near that
this is the model road of the country, presenting
the greatest possible facilities for the despatch Of
BUSINESS
At the other extreme of the canal, the receipts
are also Unprecedented. At Buffalo, for the last
week, we hear they exceeded those of any pre-
vious week.
