A Valuable Secret.

The unpleasant odor produced by perspiration
is frequently the source of vexation to gentlemen
and ladies, some of whom are as subject to its
excess as their fellow mortals of another color
Nothing is simpler than the removal of this odor
at much less expense and much more effectually
than by the application of such costly perfumes
as are in use 1t is only necessary to procue
some of the compound spirits of ammonia, and
place about two tablespoonful in basin of wa
ter. Washing the face, hands and arms with
this leaves the skin clear, fresh and sweet as one
could wish.

A Fight.

A desperate encouLter-at-arms came off at
the corner Of York and Franklin Streets about
eleven o'clock Saturday night last between some
niggers " and some brick yards" It was a
fair fight being alternately niger on brick yard,
brick yard on niger and vice versa, and wound
up with brick yard knocking niger down, and
niger knocking brick yard down, a shaking of
hands, drink, and an offer of nights lodging
in town house. On the Sabbath following we
learn two of the ringleaders in the affair of Sat-
urday night met on some neutral and classic
ground in the rear of the Public School House
and there hada contest for the championship.
The niger came off with his ribs stove in " and
few Intellectual blows about the head while
brickyard more lucky, received nothing more
than lefthander in the region of the victualling
apparatus. The parties thus far have escaped
"durance vile" but It's no criterion of what may
be done hereafter with such characters

Music.

Mr.. Louis Wallis, the gentlemen who is now
engaged in bringing together class of pupils
to be instructed in playing the flute and violin,
comes to us well recommended as a teacher, hay
ing been engaged in teaching music for the past
sixteen years. AS a composer he will take a
place in the foremost rank We have listened
at times to some of his productions, and if we
are competent judges, we can vouch for their
heart touching melodies. Wehope Mr.. W. will
receive encouragement which will be peeuuiarily
beneficial to him, and we doubt not but the pu-
pills will be well rewarded. His lessons COM
mences to-day.

New School House.

The new public school building of Dolington,
Bucks Co., Pa, is now nearly completed This
will be a great convenience as it is calculated
for graded school with two or more teachers
There are upwards of 100 scholars in the dis

Peaches are bringing good prices in New

from as far south as Georgia, but the supply is

Fire.

The dwelling house of Mr.. David Traugar
situate about three miles from this place on the
road leading to New Brunwick was partially
consumed by fire on Monday last Mr.. Trau-
gers household effects were saved with. the ex-
ception of quantity of winter clothing. The
whole building would have been consumed but
for the exertions of the men employed in a brick
yard short distance from the place.
The building was insured in the Mutual In

Severe Blow.

Severe Blow.
Mr. VIM Dale, of Phillipsburg while walking
the streets of Belvidere, on Friday last, in COM
pany with our townsman, Mr. VIM v Cooley,
was struck in the eye with an apple, with such
force as to instantly knock him down Where
the apple came from is mystery, but it is sup
posed to have been thrown by some one using a
slender stick, as is the custom among the boys,
it being known that they can be thrown to o
greater distance by this means than with the arm
alone.

Mosquitoes.

1t is well known, fact that oil of Pennyroyal,
rubbed on the face, hands and parts exposed, is
preventative for the bite of gnats and mosquitoes
1t should be properly diluted with some sort of
spirits, as if used in its concentrated state, it
will cause the skin to smart for a while. The
preparation seems to be highly offensive to the
gnat and mosquito, and they leave in disgust.
