che HunterdOn County Militia.

For some weeks past the Brigade
Board of Hunterdon County persuant
to Jaw, and by order from the State
Department have been untiring in their
efforts in organizing the Militia In the
County and placing them on proper
= ST loo5ing, TO be in readiness in case
their services were needed. Although
by some, whether through aversion to
drill, or whether they could make a
little popularity out of this opp osition
that might serve good purpose on a
future occasion. tho call of Gen. Ser.
geaut was responded to pretty gener-
ally through the County. Consider
ing the fact that general training
has of late years been much neglec-
ted, the militia made a pretty fair
show. Those Wao were at all deS-
posed to drill and assist the officers oil
the Brigade to carry out the law,
shouldered q gnn or stick as 10 years
gone by, when j. was considered fan,
and when there was not so good q
prospect that their service would be
needed, further than only to play sol.
der
Several Of the Counties In the
State have paid little or no attention
to the law on this subject. We think
tits to the honor and credit of Hun,
terdon, that she has complied with it
and goes to show that she Is always
ready to obay them, and that We ar,
loyal and law abiding citizens.

ness that of Italy. The fields arc
robed with a rich emerald carpet the

branches gracefully to the verdure-la-

from the fervency Of the midday sun.
From every tree-top aud bush the
merry MARBLE of birds is heard the
cattle in the meadows, while cropping
the sweet grass, low joyfully whilst
enjoying their feast June, the har-
binger of Summer; glorious June,
arrayed in all her gorgeous panoply,
bowling meath the weight o early

STARS AND srRIpKs FoRI
An Item FOX business Men.

Oar merchants and mechanics, and
all classes Of business men, who desire
to retain, and, if possible, increase their
business in these panic stricked times,
should advertise largely and persist
emily. They make grand mistake in
helping to produce the very stagna-
ton they deplore, by Withholding their
advertisements from the public jour
mails, and relapsiug into do-nothing
apathy, until something shall turn up,
TO their advantage. They will be
likely to find, however, that the
community will not dig them out of
the graves into which they have bu-
ried themselves, but will bestow their
custom upon those who ara alive and
continue to let the people know that
they are pr epared to serve them as
heretofore, with a larger varie y Of
better goo DIS at prices in accodance

Hints ON washing the Hands.

Some philosophy" ia usefnlin even
SO simple matter as washing the
hands if any one doubts it let her,
with a microscope, examine the sur
face to be cleansed by water, and she
will be interested, and perhaps shocked
at the discoveries made. Instead OF
o smooth surface of skin, presenting
when unwashed, dingy appearance,
there will be seer a rough, corrugated
surface, with de5p irregular furrows'
in which the foreign particles are de-
posted like earth among the rough paw
! ing stones Of a street. IF they
lay loosely, it would be an easy
mat er.. to dislodge them with a
little cold water; but the pores, the
waste pipes Of the body, are continu-
ally discharging into these open drains
perspiration and oil, which, by evap-
Grafton, become cement to hold the
particles of dust, &c. and to remove
them requires both chemical and me-
chanical action. Warm water softeus
this cement, expands the burrows, and
makes the skin pliable, so that by rub
bing the soil is disturbed and partially
removed. But c. emistry must aid y
little before the process is complete
and soap is added, the alkali of which
unites with the oily matters, and the
whole is then easily disposed of.
The wash cloth is useful, because
its threads or ibres works down among
the furrows like SO many little brooms,
sweeping them out; hence it should
be soft and pliable.. Flannel is pref
cradle to cotton for this purpose, and
sponge is best of all. Rough coarse
cloths are Objectionable, as they abrade
the skin and leave it rough and more
easily filed with dust than before
Harsh, stongly alkaline soap should
be avoided for the same reason it ex-
tracts all the oil from the upper layer
of the skin and makes it "chap or
crack. Where sponge is not OBJ
tainable, q very neat and serviceable
wash cloth may be knit of soft cotton

coarse wooden needles; knitting back
and forth as carriers are knit A nit

stand. A wash rag will not be toler-
ated by tidy housekeeper. If cloths
are used let them be neatly henmed,
and scrupulously clean. Applying a
little vinegar and water to the hands
and face, after the use of soap, and
rinsing off the vinegar with clean wa
ter, is a capital process to prevent
chapping or roughness. The acid
neutralizes the alkali of the soap, and
keeps it from destroying the skin.
Try this frequently, especially on wash

acid is excellent for the face after sha-
