DRUoaIsTs AND PHYSICIANS, ATTENTION
-A.case of premature death of a child four
years old occasioned by carelessness on the
part of physician and Apothecary, occurred
in Philadelphia on Monday. The mother
called in the family physician, DR.. Neil, who
prescribed oil resini" and wormseed oil. II
was sent to drug store to be prepared, bu'
in stead of " oil resini," " oil rosemary was
given, which dsordered and int1amed the
stomach, and brought on congestion OF the
brain from which the child died. The per
feet tom foolery ofwriting prescriptions is here
exhibited. The sworn seed-oil, was writ

what does "Resini" mean the readers inquiries
why simply "Caster oil'' that's all, ant
why not write it so!

How Governor Johnston Stands
Even with His Opponents.

The Pennsylvania Statesman-a Lo-
cofoco paper in Philadelphia-has an ar
ticle in its issue of the 18th of June,
which is styled "Seasonable Suggestion"
We make an extract below, and CON-
mend it to the attention of those brain
less Locofocos who talk about giving
Bigler and the Loeofoco ticket major
ity of ten, fifteen and twenty thousand in
the State.
The Statesman says such result Is
" utterly impracticable"-that a" such
boasts indicate anything but sound judg-
ment"- the "adolescent orator might
weave such calculations into his tinged
declamations"-that the superficial pol
itician might cudgel his arithmetic for
anticipated majorities," but that the
sound, sober, penetrakive mind will seek
for more secure data from which to ar
que and to act" 1t says "the party
must work to ensure even Mr.. Bigler's
safety" although his " ready eloquence,
popular manners, accurate information,
decision of character and promptness OF
action render him invinsible." This last
is irony of the most exquisite character.
Mr.. Bigler is clever amaible man, but
to talk about his ready eloquence, aceu-
rate information, decision of character
and promptness of action" IS little less
than farcical However we excuse the
Statesman. 1t intends to be sincere ana
is influenced in its opinions by feelings
of undue personal friendship.
The paper however hates Gov. John
ston most cordially. 1t has not forgot.
ten the good he has done the State, and
the superiority of his administration over
that of his Locofoco predecessors. This
it will never forget. 1t however speaks
thus of Gov. Johnston's ability:
"In Gov. Johnston, Mr.. Bigler will ind
'foeman worthy of his steel;' an active, eneF'
getic, untiring competitor, who, perfectly IN,
doctrinated in all the mysteries OF politics, and
a thorough adept in all their practical applica-
tion 10 every combination of circumstances,
will elicit all his powers OF eloquence, and all
his resources of address and energy. We have
had the most satisfactory evidence of bis IN
fuence with the masses. During the last
Gubernatorial compaign, the party was list
lessly dreaming of what was deemed an old
fashioned majority which was to exceed e
ven that given to Gen. Jackson; But Gov
Johnston was wide awake, traverslng tns
whole State, addressing the people in eVeey
hamlet and village, familiarizing himself wltO
the wants and prejud;ces Irrespective sections
and perfecting that grand scheme ofpOltlc,l
strategy, which excited our surprise and ad'
miration when it was too late to repair InS
injury. And he is ready and girded- for tnS
work again, and only awaits his nominate"
to enter the breach"

The Salt Lake.

The Dead Sea has beeen considered as the
greatest curiosity ofits kind in the world and
as connected with its Biblical story, fearful
interest does indeed hang around it; but we
have scarcely less remarkable phenomenon
in this country in the Salt Lake. Lieut.
Gunnison, of the Typographical Engineers,
who has been employed for long time past
on the survey of the Great Basin in which
the Salt Lake is situated, speaks of the lake
as an object of the greatest curiosity. The
water is about one-third salt, yielding that a.
mount on boiling. Its density is considerably
greater than that of the Dead Sea. One can
hardly get his whole body below the surface.
In sitting position the head and shoulders
will remain above water, such is the strength
of the brine, and on coming to the shore the
body is covered over with an incrusta-
ton on of salt in fine crystals. The most
surprising thing about it is the fact that
during the summer season the lake throws
on shore an abundance of salt, while in the
winter season it throws up glauber salt in
large quantities. The reason of this is left
to the scientific to Judge, and also what be-
comes of the enormous amount of fresh water
poured into it by three or four large rivers
Jordan, Bear and Weber-as there is no vis-
ible outlet

Sensible views.

The following views expressed by the Wash
ington Recorder in regard TO mixed judicial
ticket comedies SO fully with our own that
we publish them as ours: On the Supreme
Bench, as at present constituted, there is but
one Whig-known distinctively as such
Judge Chambers. Judge Coulter, however,
is SO little ola partizan, that Wings could
cheerfully support him. Now, had the DEM
ocratic Convention nominated Chambers and
Coulter, the Wings could, with much pro-
priety, reciprocate by nominating Gibson and
some other one of the democratic nominees
This would have secured the unanimous cleo
ton of four of the FIVE judges, leaving the
choice of the fifth to be decided on political
grounds. But the Democratic Convention
has seen fit to do nothing ofthe kind. They
have nominated full party ticket, upon par
ty grounds; and each of the nominees who
accepts the nomination, stands forth as par
ty candidate This, es we look at it, exclude
them, from Whig nomination.
| We do not mean to say that it should ex-
clude them from the support of such Wings
as feel disposed to vote for them. We would
have every individual left untrammeled IN
| his choice Let all who want to vote for
Gibson, do so. But the Democratic Conven-
ton, in making a full party nomination, has
| left us no alternative but to do the same
That mixed ticket was the most desirable,
under the circumstances, we admit; but 1t
/ takes two parties to make such ticket prop
erly and when one party refuses to do 1t, 1t
| would be suicidal in the other to attempt 1t.
| In view of these considerations, we cannot
help expressing surprise at the course OF
some eastern Wings in laboring to procure
the nomination of the Wing Convention for
Judge Gibson. He is an able jurist, we
know but Judge Coulter is justly regarded
to be his equal, and the Whg party of this
State contains scores of men equal in judi
cial ability to any of the other Democratic
nominees.
Another of our Whig contemporaries, IN al
luding to the same subject, says 1t has been
suggested to us, and we have seen the same
in some Wing papers, that the true policy OF
the Wing party is to nominate mixed tick
ct; that is, part Wing and part Democratic.
We do not think so. Should that be done,
many of those of the Democratic party who
are dissatisfied with the nomination Of Judges
Campbell and Lewis, will simply exchange
these names for the Democratic nominees OF
the Wing ticket. and should we by any pos
sibility, fail to elect the whole, the Democrat.
ic portion only will succeed, and so far as oul
party is concerned, we will not be the gain
ers.

Delaware and CObb's Gap Rail.
road

The following extracts of letter, in
relation to the survey of the Delaware
and Cobb's Gap Rail Road, we copy
from the Sussex Register of the 2lst inst,
which viii no doubt interest our readers.
"Mr. McNeal, the En-
gineer, on the Delaware and Cobb's Gap
Rail Road, has reached the Delaware
Water G Gap, and makes the distance from
Scranton, (the terminus of the Lacka-
wanna and Western Rail Road to the
Water Gap, Al miles; and as Scranton
lies three miles down the Lackawanna
Valley, the coal fields are reached at 80
miles. This is several miles less than
any one predicted.
undertand that Mr.. McNeal has as
certained that the Northern route (that
is, north of the High Knob, is impracti-
cable; or, at least, the summit is so high,
that it makes very heavy grade to get
down to the Delaware. The present sur
vey is down Brodhead's Creek. He is
now making other surveys up the branch
IS of Brodhead's Greek, so as to fix the
best possible location between the Della
ware Water Gap and the Coal fields.
The Directors of the Belvidere Della
ware r. r. Co. have decided toput utimmedi-
ately the road under contract from Lam
bertyille to Frenchtown-16 miles furth-
er up the river-and perhaps to Easton.
1t is their intention, | am informed, to
extend their road to the Delaware Wa
ter Gap, and when the Sussex and War
rem Road is built from Chester, the COM
nunication will becomplete between New
burgh, Philadelphia, &c. uia those routes.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania have
changed the name of the " Legget's Gap
Rail Road" to the " Lackawanna and
Western Rail Road" which is more ap-
propriate. There are about twelve miles
of the track of this road completed, and
the locomotives arc running that distance,
CARRYING up iron and chairs from the
Rolling Mill Every day half mile of
the iron track is laid, so that the road
is advancing west at the rate of three
mile per week"

now engaged in running another route,
passing east Of the High Knob and thence
up the west branch of the Wallenpau-
pack.

Decision Of popular Interest.-The Su-
preme Court have decided, Mr.. Justice Cham
bers delivering the opinion, that debtor In
tending to claim the 1900 exempt from sale
by execution out of his real estate, under the
act Of April, l649, must give notice of his
intention, before the inquisition and sale,
or he cannot come in for the money at
the distribution. The act contemplates
the debtor shall get the 300 dollars exempt
property at an appraisement, where prac-
ticable; and the right to demand money
out of the proceeds of sale, is only last re-
sort. when the property does not admit of di-
vision. The failure to give notice of the
claim TO the Sheriff who is the agent of the
judgement creditors, before the sale of tho
realty, will bar the claim of the debtor to the
fund. Miller's appeal for Cumberland. De-

Keeping the Teeth Clean.

At meeting of the American Academy,
December 1S49, paper was read by Dr. II.
]. Bowditch, on the animal and vegetable
parasites infesting the teeth, with the effects
of. different agents in causing their removal
and destruction. Microscopical examinations
had been made of the matter deposited on the
teeth and gums of more than forty individu-
ais. selected from all classes of society, IN ev-
cry variety of bodily condition; and In nearly
every case animal and vegetable parasitles In
great numbers had been discovered. Of the
animal parasites, there were three or four
species, and of the vegetable one or two In
fact the only persons whose mouths were
found to be completely free from them cleans
ed their teeth four times daily, using soap
once. One of those individuals also passed
thread between the teeth to cleanse them
more efectually. In all cases the number OF
the parasites was greater in proportion to
the neglect of cleanliness. The effect of the
application of various agents was also no.
ticed. Tobacco juice and smoke did not i'm
pair their vitality in the least. The same
was also true of chlorine tooth wash, of pull
yerised bark, of soda ammonia; and various
other detergents The application of soap,
however, appeared to destroy them instantly
We may hence infer that it is the best and
most proper specific for cleansing the teeth
In all cases where it has been tried, it re-
ceives unqualified commentator. 1t may al
SO be proper to add that none but the purest
white soap free from all discolorations should
be used

MeIanchoI. and Fatal Accident.

The "Warrcn Journal" says that Horace
Kleinhans, son of Widow Eve Kleinhans
of Belvidere, aged about % years, met with
an accident in Pike Co, Pa, on the 18th inst.
which caused his death in few hours. In
company with an elder brother, he left this
county last spring to pursue the tanning and
currying business in Pike county. At the
time of the accident he was some four miles
from their works, overseeing a number of
hands telling timber and peeling bark. A
large tree was about falling and he, as he
supposed, was out of the way of harm, but as
it fell it swept against another tree, breaking
off dead limb and throwing it directly to-
wards him with great force, which struck
him on the head, fracturing his skull and 9TH
erwise injuring him, causing his death as "a
bove stated. His remains were brought to
this town on Sunday last, and were inferred
on the following day. His funeral was at
tended by large number of weeping and
sympathising relatives and friends, including
the Order of Odd Fellows, which he was
worthy member, lie was a young man of
good character and promise, without an en-
emy within the large circle of his acquaint-
ance. s.

LEWIS AND CAMPBELL.-The LeJoisburg
Chronicle, edited by II. c. Hicock, a member
of the Union county Bar, and active Locofoco,
says "Judge Lewis is learned and capable i;
but his thirst for notoriety leads him occasion
ally to run bootless tilt against the author
tiles, and indulge in disquisitions more fanci-
full than sound. The only objection we have
to Judge Campbell is that, so far as we have
been able to ascertain, he is almost wholly
destitute of the requisite qualifications for the
high post to which he aspires. His vote in
this region will be very slim"

Sharp Business Transaction.

A female Rogue.-A few days since, Ia
dy, having every appearance of respectability
about her, stopped into Stewards fashionable
dry goods store in Broadway, New York, and
purchased shawl, priced at four hundred
dollars, and presented a $1,000 bill on the
Bank of America, to pay for it. The clerk
being suspicious of the bill, stepped to the
Bank, and inquired of the Cashier, who pro-
nounced it genuine. The change was accor-
dinghy given her, and she took the purchased
shawl, and had proceeded as far as the door,
when she stepped back, and remarked that
she had not better take it until she had con-
suited her husband. The $1,000 bill Sas then
handed her, and she returned the shawl and
the change she had received, and left the
store. Presently she came back, and she had
concluded to take it, and laying down $1,000
note, received again her change, took the
cashmere under her arm, and disappeared
After the lady had gone, it was discovered
that she had changed the bill and in place of
the genuine note, had put off upon the clerk
a counterfeit upon the same bank-leaving
Mr.. Stewart minus a valuable shawl and six
hundred dollars in money.-N. HaUcn Jour

Currant Bushes.

Having noticed that our currant bushes
may as well be made trees as shrubs, have
concluded to tell you how have seen it done.
In the Spring of 1881 my father commenced
a garden, and among other things set cut
tings for currant bushes. | determined to
make an experiment on one ofthese cuttings,
and as soon as it grew pinched off all the
leaves except the top tuft, which | let grow.
The cutting was about IA inches high, and
during the Summer the sprout from the top OF
this grew perhaps 10 inches. The next
Spring | pinched off all the leaves to about
half way up to the first years growth, SO as
to leave the lowest limbs about three feet
from the ground. 1t branched well and be-
came nice little dwarf tree. When it came
to bear fruit it was more productive than any
bush in the garden, and the fruit larger; ii
was less infected by spiders and other insects;
hens could not pick off the fruit, and weeds
were more easily kept from about the roots,
and it was an ornament instead of blemish.
