to appeal to the civil courts to obtain relief
from the pecuniary results OF the sentence OF

"The bishop has long ago had in his pos

Simple Cure for Creup.-We find in the
Journal OF health the following simple reme-
dy for this dangerous disease. Those who
have passed nights Of agony at the bedside
of loved children, will treasure it up as
valuable piece of information
If a child is taken with Group, apply cold
water-ice water if possible--suddenly and
freely to the neck and chest with sponge.
The breathing will instantly be relieved
much as it can, then wipe it dry, cover it up
warm, and soon a quiet slumber will relieve
the parents anxiety, and lead the heart in
thankfulness to the power which has given
to the pure gushing fountain such medical
qualities.

Union of q Man and Wife after 4Sepo-
ration of AZ Years.-A man and wife have
recently been united in Iowa, after separa-
ton of forty-seven years. Mrs. Crull recent
ly applied for bounty-land warrant, as a
reward for the service of her husband during
the war of 1872. He had enlisted while on a
visit to Philadelphia, and was reported to
have been killed in an engagement near Lake
Champlain. Messrs. Shepard & Overton, of
Burlington, Iowa, her lawyers, ascertained
that MI. Crull himself had entered land
warrant for lands in Hancock county, Illino is
and it was eventually shown that he was liv-
ing in Jefferson county,N. Y. The Burling-
ton Hawkeye says:
1t seems that soon after the elistment OF
Mr.. Crull, Mrs. Crull, finding it difficult to
support herself and her two small children,
one babe, removed to another part of the
State, and there hearing that her husband
was killed, made no further efforts to learn
of him; and he, after his discharge, returned
to the town where he formerly resided, and
was there told that his wife and children had
moved away, and since died. Believing him.
self alone in the world, he left forever his
old residents and associates, and took up his
abode in jefferson county, N. Y, where he
has since resided, ever cherishing in fond re-
membrance his now, to him, forever lost fam
lily. After years OF hard toll and successful
effort, and the marriage of her only daught
er, Mr.. Crull, in company with her son and
son-in-law, moved, to this State, and settled
in Wappello, Louisa county, where she has
since resided in the family of her daughter.
A few days since MIR. Crull arrived in Wap-
pello, eager to see her whom he had mourn
ed as dead, and once again behold his child
rem. But what chance forty-seven years
had brought aboutl A formal introduction
was needed to acquaint those who should
have spent their lives together.

Editorial Discipline and Departments
One of the funniest things we have lately
crossed in the fsSea of Reading" is what
purport to be set of rules for the guidance
of editors and other knights OF the quill, got
ten up by the general "agent of the associ.
ated press. In the preface he says that rigid
discipline is as essential to an editorial as
military corps, and observes truly that it is
only by correct departments that editors can
secure ''public confidence and resp ect."-
Here is his rules for the government of the
editorial corps
Every editer must be cireumspect in his
department, erect and manly in his car
riage, (if he have one,) and scrupuelously
discreet in his language and acts.
He must be firm but courteous in accept
ing drinks and declining articles.
He must lOiter about places where intoxi-
eating drinks are keptfor sale, and frequent
such places in the discharge OF his duty.
He must avoid all intimacy or familiarity
with dissolute or viscious persons, except in
purely business connection.
He must, when on duty, wear an office
coat and an official aspect.
He must be eccentric and professional in
appearance.
"He must, inform himself as to what is going
on, especially in private circles, and report
all that he learns, at least, while going a.
bout town.
He must walk with lounging gait, and
when sat rest" he must not lean against
lamposts or ratings.
he must not converse with common citi-
zens unless to pump them.
He must never. under any circumstances
use vulgar, profane or ungrammatical Ian
guage, If he can helpit.
Members OF the force, on meeting each
other, will Immediately effer to stand treat.

STREET IMPRovEMENTs.-Not hing is scarce
ly more deserving of commentator than the
spirit of Improvement which seems to &C.
tuate the Street Committee of the City
Council of Portsmouth.
Various sections of the diHerents streets
have been undergoing improvements for
several months; and they are generally kept
clean and well graded. We now notice
workmen engaged in repairing the street at
the intersection of High and Water streets,
which was really needed.
The general good condition of the public
thoroughfares of our sister city is doubtless
the cause of all classes of b er citizens, which
has never been better than at present. Out
of population of about eleven thousand,
there have been but ten or twelve deaths
this month.
This is good report, and we trust we
shall never have any ether kind to make

Our OF PLAoE.-We are informed by one
of the Engineers of the Norfolk County
Ferry, that certain persons have engaged in
rather a mischievous sport. He says that
one evening last week as the boat of which
he had charge was entering the dock on the
other side of the river, these men pulled the
gong connection which tells him to "stop,"
''back" or "come ahead" The Engineer
acted according to the direction, and the
consequences were near being serious, as
there was large crowd on board, and the
Navy Yard men were on the wharf waiting
for the boat, and some of the crowd came
nea- falling overheard. II the boat had not
been fast to the wharf at the time, no one
could tell how many may have met watery
grave. Now, we do not suppose that the
persons referred to intended any harm, for
we suppose it originated in a spirit OF mis-
chievousness and frolic; yet such sport is al
together out of place. and we hope it will
be desisted from hereafter.
