equipped and ready for active service. 1t is
with pleasure siat we state that Lieut.. Thos.
q. Snyder, of this county, has been appointed
Quartermaster of the Regiment. Tom is
clever, jovial fellow-posseSscd of good bust

the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, below
Philadelphia. We wish them success.

after Mrs. c. holding to her dress-and, as the
two passed the bucket OF hot water. the child
released its hold on Its mothers dress, and
fell backwards into the bucket, upsetting the |
water and scalding itself so severely that it |
died on the following afternoon.

cases fatal, the of common salt is recon-

ing, noon and night. We dissolved a large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in about
haif tumbler full of cold water. With this

the entire winter, we were not on ly free from
the usual coughs and colds to which, so far
as our memory extends, we have always been.
