The Times.

In these times, says the Bordentown
| IN. J.) Register, we hardly think of
hunting up local item or writing a
local editorial. We are all absorbed
in the war, and all our minds are
busy thinking of some way by which
the diSloyalists may be compelled to
speedily return to allegiance. Even
our usually active Borough begins to
show signs of being effected by "hard
times though not to that extent we
hear others complaining of. Our
merchants say that they are not
selling so many goods as HERETOFORE
orr mechanics complain Of being
thrown out Of employment and that
they can get nothing TO do at their
respective trades the laborer asserts
his willingness TO work, bnt finds it
impossible to get any one to hire him;
and the poor and needy state that
their fag0rs come from bGt very few.
What is TO be done 70 think of
accommodating monev in these times is
entirely out Of tae question. II we
can make elihood, that Is, have
house to shelter 8, common clothes
to wear, and wholesome food to eat,
we should all be contented
And now let US speak word Of
admonition to portions at least of our
citizens. Cold winter is approach
ing, bat at u distance FROM those III
moderate circumstances to avoid saf-
fering 1t is foolishness and very
wrong for them to use extravagantly
the little money they may have dur
ing the SIMMER for unnecessary or
fancy clothing, nick-nacks, or for lux
uries to eat. All will be needed, and
more, too, when winter comes. Then
the pinching necessities of hunger aud
the bitter GOODNESS of the wind will
make the unprepared feel tie effects
OF squandering the Summers surplus.
There doubtless will be less work than
there is now, and, it may possibly be,
less means TO pay for what shall be
done. If every poor man with family
would begin to save, by hook or crook
a trife Of their earnings now, ahG dis
pense with luxuries, and not purchase
this piece of ribbon and that yard of
lace, but put them into fund till they
amounted to a sufficient sum to pur-
chase barrel of -four, and stow it
away for the winter, next Spring its
beneficial effects might be calculated
When that is safely in the chamber,
see next to having q quarter of beef,
sailed, by It's side ; and by its side
have a half or whole hog and about
ten bushels of potatoes. This will,
in great measure, suffice for the COM
fort of the inner man, bat it must be
remembered something must be done
to keep the chilly WIND out Of the
house. IF it can be managed so as
to have a cord of wood or ton of
coal in the cellar, the winter can be
passed without the slightest fear of
suffering, and defiance may be hurled
in the face Of hard times" and at the
stern necessities of civil var. We
advise poor men TO save their money
or to lay it out in provisions for the
coming winter

The RIFLED CANNON UNION. p
This mammoth piece of ordinance,
now lying on the wharf near Fortress
Monroe, is, it is said, to be mounted
on the deck Of the Minnesota. 1t
carries a $50 pound shot, and is sup
posed to be the most destructive wea-
pom ever mounted. Neither its range
or initial velocity is as great as some
other guns, yet the weight of the
shot win be such as to sink any ship
and ultimately destroy almost any
fortifcation. The projectiles for the
gun have not yet arrived.

THE COMET. Comet which
has recently attracted 50 much atten-
ton on this side of the Atlantic, was
visible in England, Mr.. j. R Hind,
the English astromer, in a letter to
the London Times, Of July 5th, thinks
that is not only possible, but probable
that, on the Both, of June the earth
passed through the tail Of the comet,
at a distance Of perhaps two-thirds of
its length from the nucleus. He adds,
that upon that date he observed, in
the evening, peculiar phosphores-
cence or illumination of the sky, which
he attributed then to an auroral glare,
but which he suggests might posi-
bly, be owing nearness of the comets
tail If similar illumination of the
heavens" he concludes, has been
remarked generally on the earth's
surface it will be significant fact. :"
In few more nights the comet will
be imperceptible to the naked eye.
It is cow far away and dull, and
scarcely noticed in the sky.

GET AN EARLY BREAKFAST. "A bad
custom is prevalent in many families,
especially among farmers. of working
an hour or 40 before breakfast, atten-
ding to "chores,' hoeing in the garden
cutting wood, moving, ecf This is
convenient on many accounts, but it
is not conducive to health. The pre-
yelent opinion is that the morning air
is the purest, and most healthful and
bracing but the contrary is the fact
At an hour of the day is the air
more filed with damp, fogs, and
miasms, than Mt about sunri,e. The
heat Of the sun gradually dissipates
these external influences rs the day
advances. An early meal braces up
the system against these external in
fluences. Every one knows the Ian.
guor and faintness often experienced
for the first hour in the morning, and
that this is increased by exercise and
want of food. We do not agree with
the boarding school regime which pre-
scribes along walk before breakfast,
as means Of promoting health.
Probably the best custom would be
to furnish every member Of the family,
especially those who labor out of doors
with simple cup of warm coffee we'll
