corn meal and one-third rye meal, not rye

We could 60 on long time pointing
out the errors of living in which economy
is lost sight Of, if we thought the wished
for effect would be produced. We urge
all to think of what we have said, and that
one of the best things that can be done
for the poor is to teach them practical
economy in everyday life.
No charitable societies have ever done
so muck good to the poor by a distribution
of food, as they could do by printing and
putting into the hands Of every family
tract containing practical lessons of econ
omy in the art of living we'll and living
cheap-an ar. that would prevent waste
of food, and lessen the expense Of first
purchases would increase the nutritious
qualities, while it would add immensely to
to the table enjoyment Of every family.
In great majority Of cases it may be
set down as an incontroyertiblc fact that
want comes of waste, and waste comes of
want of knowledge Of the properties of
different articles of food, and how to COM
bine them so as to produce the most ben
efcial effect.
1t may be set down as another incon-
,rovertible fact, that no class Of people can
want food and remain virtuous. Their
degeneracy, both physically and morally,
is certain. 1t is our religious duty, then,
to study and teach economy in food, and
the art of living better and cheaper more
in accordance with the principles that pro-
mote health, vigor, intellectual capacity,
comfort, happiness and morality Of the
human family.
How much good would come Of it if we
should practice upon the text that forms
the tide of this article! Let those who
read aud think, first set the example the
uuthinking will follow, and their children
will rise up and call them blessed.
Observation-Disclosures township, in this
county, polled its vote unanimously for the
Democratic candidate. The vote stood Al TO
nothing, throughout. About twenty voters did
not go 10 the polls. all Of whom, We are inior-
med, are Democrats.
The above is from the Lycoming Gazette
of the oath ult, to which l would add that
,ce are informed that there are five or six
voters in the said township ready to make
oath that they voted for Caldwell and NJ
Ghec That their votes we're lost ihro' any
asSp af tie j board Ct bnt
they were lost thro' the incapacity of the
said officers, is highly probable, if We may
Judge from the following facts:
The oath of John Stinebaucb, inspector,
is not subscribed by him, but by Matthias
Boyer; oath of Adam Richard, ,inspeetor,by
Matthias Bier; oaths of Jacob Richard and
Thos b. Simpson, clerks, by Matthias Bier;
and oath of Matthias Bier, judgc,b Aadam
Richard. The names Of Aadam Richard,
Adam Richard, Matthias Boyer, and Ma
thias Bier are in the same handwriting in
the signatures and filling up of the printed
oaths The name John Stinebauch, in the
filling up, and the dates, Oct Q, 1855, are
in different and much inferior writing.
1t appears, thus, that Matthias Boyer OF
Matthias Bier signed all The oaths but his
own-that Adam Richard signed Bier's-
and the Bastress election is nullity.
The charitable conclusion is that board
of such blundercrs mi ght naturally conclude
that they were to return merely the votes
on the Democratic side. ExLEX.
peA-The Jersey Shore Tedette has the
foregoing, which certainly throws into the
shade all the stories about raw election
officers, we have read in long time. 1t
occurred up in Lycoming, too, where they
somewhat pride themselves on supposed
superiority over old Union but nowhere
in Union or Snyder counties, could such
an Election Board as that, be constituted.
"PRINTERs CAN READ ANYTHING."-
The above remark is often made BY cor
respondents and advertisers, as an excuse
for halfspelliug words, abbrevia;ing tech
nicalities, and slovenly, unreadable wri-
ting generally. There i, no doubt that
printers are better decipherers Of bad
manuscript than any other class of persons,
but when, for instance, a merchant writes
that he has received five barrels BTs., ten
CHS, ten pounds CLs., it is difficult to
tell whether the merchant really means
boots, biscuits, or butternuts; chalk, cheese,
or churns cloves, clocks, or clans.
THE CRANBERRY CURE FOR ERYs1PE- |
LAs.-The New Haven Pdl3ddianl records
another case of the cure of Erysipelas by
the simple application of raw cranberries
pounded fine. The patient was lady,
one side of whose face had become so
swollen and infamed that the eye become
closed and the pain excessive. A pou!tice
of cranberries was applied, and, after sew.
eral changes, the pain ceased, the infam-
maticn subsided, and in the course of a
couple of days every yestige Of the dis.
ease had disappeared.
