The ammonia seems to counteract all the
poison which causes Scarlatina, and also
acts upon the system by diminishing the
frequency, and, at the same time, increas-

children die from these diseases in this
country, this remedy deserves fair trial.

Obituary of an old Printer.

GEoHGE MILLER, who recently died IN But
faloe township, was in his 65th year, and not
about 20, as was stated. Asvery many among
our readers will remember his smiling lace
while 50 long a resident of New Berlin, we
may mention that he was the first German
printer. and the first Bookbinder, in Union
county. He learned his trade with Mr.Wyeth,
workmen. the late Chief Justice OF Pennsy!-
vania Ellis Lewis. John Drelsbach, once a
Member Of the Legislature from this county,
and now perhaps the oldes; preacher of the
Evangelical Association, or Albright Metho
dists, was the means Of getting Mr. Miller 10
New Berlin, 10 conduct their infant book es-
adjustment. Their printing materials had
been bought by men not printers, at poor
bargain, and although 4 Hymn Book was
printed on writing paper. and some other
work executed the enterprise was not sue
cesstul. The materials were bought by Mr..
Genlzel. of Alronsburg, and used by him
there Mr.. Miller then started German pa
per IN New Berlin. The Association, with
the wise and timely aid of Mr.. Miller, subse-
quently revived its paper and book establish
ment, which became prosperous, and enlarged
It's operations, until its removal 10 Cleaveland,
where Henry Miller, son of George, removed
with it. Among the numerous works execu-
ted al New Berlin, was German edition OF
the Bible, 5000 copies, from stereotype plates.
The elder Mr.. Miller spent his last days, at
ease among his friends in New Berlin and in
BufialCe.

THE CHRONICLE.
The two Faces of Democracy.
MONDAY. FER. II, 1859.

Just now, throughout Pennsylvania, the
leading professed Democratic papers are
joining the Republicans in demanding the
establishment of the old Wing principle
Protective Tariff sufficient for the wants
of an economical government. This is
Democracy-''na,ionar' Democracy
PENNSYLVANIA. The only Democratic
paper we exchange with, in New YORK
STATE, is the Corning Democraf. That
paper, Of Jan. 10, 1859, has the following
commencement Of the leading article under
the Editorial head:
Protection English, and not imerlcan...rcderai
and not Democratic
The theory of our government is entirely
opposed To the whole system of Protective
Tariff, while the English governmental is found
ed on a system of Protection. The crown
protects the mobiles, and the mobiles protect the
crown, and aHis psrfyruaed t5r The JeHcft n iie
peoph. In this country, the people are the
government, the source of power for the pur
pose of protecting themselves; 10 secure 10
each and every one equal rights. This Is the
foundation on which we must stand as a ma
ton. II is the very essence Of our government.
\ Protective tariff creates privileged classes,
at the expense of others. Ii creates an order
or class Of nobility"
So, you see, just cross the line of the
State, and the Tariff is denounced by the
Democrats as British, Federal, and every
thing bad-not bit of Americsnism or
Of Democracy about it. A national
party, truly!
The same paper has long article
about Cuba, commencing in just about the
spirit which We may imagine Blackboard
or Capt. Kidd exhibited, haranguing their
desperate crews, as some ship hove IN
sight which they intended to board, rob.
and scutte-but which, also, they feared,
might carry too many men and guns for
them. Lie and bluster-rlb aud plum
dcr-was the practice of the Buccareers-
is the motto Of the Cuba taking party:
"Thc Cuha Question:"
at is really refreshing 10 see the Govern
menl al d>hIhGtuh moving 10 accom- push
something for the benefit of the nation and for
the good IF mankind IN general Upon the
question o! the acquisition Of Cuba, the Dem
ocrayc party Is unit. There may be some
difference Of opinion as 10 the best mode of
accImplishing The object, yet that the policy
ui the party will be to obtain Cnba, there Is
/ not doubt. All the minor, sectional, ana
/ PERSONAL issues will be lost sight of. The
4 old Democratic spirit IS being aroused, and
,he masses are coming forward as they did IN
/ he campaign Of the Lone Star. The OPpo-
'uon Is breaking up aud falling 10 pieces
some are inclined to go for the measure, and
a! this opPoriune moment 10 become Demo-

RESTORATION OF AMPUTATED FINGER.
Some weeks ago, q. W. MCully, of
Beccaria township, C!oarfeld county, cut
one of his fingers off with an axe, and af-
ter going to the house, returned to the
wood yard, where the accident happened,
picked up the part Of the finger which had
been cut of, and after cleaning off the dirt
which adhered to it, replaced it on the flu
ger, and bound it on. 1t is now healing
rapidly. The cutoff finger having united
firmly, it will be almost as useful as if
nothing had occurred to it. This fact
might be worth remembering By persons
who may have the misfortune to meet with
i similar accident.

ASEcpoTE OF DANIEL WEBSTER
The Boston (Mass,) Courier, says MIR.
Webster married the woman he loved, and
the twenty years which he lived with her
brought him to the meridian Of his great
ness. An anecdote is current on this sub
iect, which is not recorded in the books
Mr.. Webster was becoming intimate with
Miss Grace Fletcher, when the skein of
silk getting in knot, Mr.. Webster assls-
ted in uurayeling the snarl-then looking
up to Miss Grace, he said, 1--WE have un-
tied knot, don't you think we could tie
one ?D Grace was d little embarrassed,
said not a word, but in the course OF a
few minutes she tied knot In piece OF
tame and handed it to Mr.. Webster. Thi.
piece of tape, the thread of his domestic
ioys, was found, after the death OF Mr.
Webster, preserved as one OF his most
precious relics.

Profession. vs.. Practice.

When Millard Fillmore was President
Of the Urited States, the expenses Of gov
ernment were Thirty Eight Millions Of
Dollars. Then great howl went through
the country, charging him with extrava-
gance, and his cabinet with fraud and cor
ruption. Among those who were fore
most in this assault, was james BuchaHan,
who wrote letter on the subject, dated
Wheatland, Feb. %, 1851. Here is an
extract, which shows how eloquently
plain Lancaster county farmer can plead
for economy:
I'VE must inscrbe upon our banners
sound regard for the reserved rights OF the
States, a strict construction of the Constltu-
tion, denial TO Congress of all powers not
clearly granted by that instrument, and rig
I'll tc0HOmy IN public expenditures. These eA-
pendiures have now reached the enormous
sun. Of fhy millions Of dollars per Gnaum, and
unless arrested in their advance by the strong
arm of the Democracy OF the country, may, an
tie course Of a tttc years, reach one hu''dr'd
millions. The appropriation Of money 10 ac-
complish great national objects sanctioned
by the Constitution, ought 10 be on scale
commensurate with our power and resources
as a nation; but Its expenditure ought 10 De
conducted under the guidance of enlightened
economy and strict responsibility. am con-
WINGED that our expenses ought 10 be con>Ii-
erably reduced beiO,C the present standard, not
only without detriment, but with positive ad-
vantage both TO the Government and the pee
pie.
With sentiments of the highest respect,
remain your friend and fellow citizen,
JAMES BUcHASAy.
Mr.. Buchanan is now President of the
United States, and an examination of his
accounts shows that instead of Thirty
Eight Millions, it requires Ninety Mil
lions per annum, which he has lately asked
to increase to One Hundred and T,centy-
Fire million Of dollars! The expense of
Fillmore's administration was made up of
claims growing out Of the Mexican war
but, in time of profound peace, this ex-
pense is increased to an enormous sum.
The exhibition of such extravaganza, can
not fail to startle the prudent and econ
omical portion Of the people-nor can 1t
fail either to have its influence on business.
Need we wonder that the treasury is drain
ed, and that the public credit is waning
under such an administration? Where it
will end, is more than human foresight
can predict; and what will be its infu-
ence, the future must exhibit In the |
midst of this extravagance, too, We have |
the specious cry Of retrenchment BY in
creasiag the rates Of postage. Gravsly has
taxation will be necessary, unless Con-
gress should be imbued with the necessity |
of curbing the extravaganza of the execu-
tive and his cabinet officers.
