Several new members were received
There had been no property taken from
any of the members until the evening
preceding the meeting, when the
house of Mr.. ] d. Stryker had been
entered and some silver ware taken to
the amount of some thirty dollars -
The President and Directors were di-
rected to offer a reward of ten dollars
for the recovery of the property and
apprehension of the thief.

world to proclaim in staring capitals,
A Gold Nine an Bucks County. -
Well, the gold has actually been dug
out and l have seen it and anybody
who is curious to see specimen OF 1t
will find the article in the cabinet OF
the Mint. More than that it will take
quite row of figures to state the
quantity. This gold is contained in a
lead ore or galena from New Britain
township, along the North Branch
creek within three miles of Doyles
town and was sent to us by Dr. G.,
7. Harvey, of your Borough Such
ores always contain some silver, though
rarely enough to pay the cost of seper-
ating. In this case there proved to
be less than FIVE ounces to the ten.
But now for the gold. Mr. Eckfeldt
took FIVE ounces, troy, of the galena
and found in it, visible to the naked
eye, as it hoated in acid, genuine re-
siduum of gold which, when anuealed
and weighed on one Of our fine balan-
ces, was found to be one twenty-five
hundreths of a grain ; that is to say
one part in 6,22O,OOO parts or not
quite ten cents worth in ton. We
thought this worth putting in the cabi-
net of curiosities visited by some 3d.
900 persons Yearly as an instance of
the wonderful dissemination of gold,
and of the refinement of assaying.

Wonderful Cure of Deafness.

We take great pleasure in giving
the need of praise due to marked
triumph of genuine skill, and for this
reason refer in terms of commendation
to miraculous cure performed by
Mad. Duboyce during her stay in this
place. Within a few days she has re-
stored Mr.. T. Balderson, of New Hope,
Bucks Co., Pa, who has been deaf for
"a years, to perfect hearing. We
have conversed with Mr. B. since his
restoration, and that gentlemaninforms
us that his deafness was brought on
by scarlet fever contracted when he
was about three years OLD, since which
time he has been gradually losing not
only his hearing but his power of speech
and vision. He likewise informs us
that since the first application made
by Mad. Duboyce he has improved and
now considers himself cured. This is
but one of the numerous cases this ac-
complished Doctress is curing from day
to day, but we give this as falling uu-
der our own observation. Any skep-
tically disposed persons can he con-
vinced of the truth of what we assert
by calling upon Mr.. Balderson at his
home. We advise any who are af-
ficted with diseases Of the eye or ear,
to call upon Madame Duboyee, who
is still staying at Moore's Hotel, in
this place.

The Newspaper.

The value Of a newspaper is very
well expressed in the following article,
clipped from one of our exchanges, and
we recommend our readers, if they
know of any one who doesn't take a
paper, to call their attention to it -
"There is no book so instructive as
the newspaper; no knowledge so ne
cessary to be acquired as that which
may be cleaned from its columns. 1t
is not only the vehicle of the cheapest,
but the most innocent and least cloy-
ing source of pleasure and happiness.
A newspaper in family is sure every
week to be the means of interesting,
informing, or pleasing almost every
member Of the family, especially where
they live in the country. In the course
of year, well conducted paper con-
veys information on almost every SUBJ
ject, or at least excites curiosity and
inquiry on all subjects To know
what is nearest to us in time and space,
is most necessary, most pleasing, and
most instructive and this kind Of
knowledge can only be obtained from
newspapers. We would venture to
affirm that there never was, and never
will be, in country situation, an ig-
norant family who take a newspaper,
as it is impossible that family should
not become in tine well informed, pro-
vided they live sufficiently secluded to
be thrown upon the paper as source
of amusement The dullest child who
hates book will, in rainy weather,
steal up newspaper, read a marriage
notice and an advertisement or two,
and put it down.. The next time prob
ably he will become bolder, and get
through a horrible murder. Soon
he will read short tales of fiction then
just before election time, he begins to
peep into politics, and even TO read
political speeches. Last of all he at
tacks foreign news By this time bis
curiosity on most subjects is excited,
and overcome his aversion and fear Of
books, and he is lured on to become a
reading and well informed man. 1t is
strange that any family, as measure
of economy, should be without news
paper Children see the world cheap
ly at home, in newspaper, without
the danger of bad association, or the
expense of travel"
