Monday morning, went to Faneuil Hall,
which was cold, sat in draft of air until
his turn came to speak; " but my hands
and feet were ice, my lungs on fire. In
this condition, had to 60 and spend three
hours in the court room" He died in les
than week from this checking of the per.
spiration. 1t was enough to kill any
man.
Professor Mitchell, the gallant soldier
and the most eloquent astronomical lectur-
rer that has ever lived, while in state OF
perspiration, in yellow fever, the certain
sign of recovery, left his bed, went into
another room, became chilled in a moment
and died the same night.
If while perspiring, or while something
warmer than usual, from exercise or a
heated room, there is a sudden exposure in
stiffness, to still, cold air, or to a raw,
damp atmosphere, or to draft, whether
at an open window or door, or street cor,
ner, an inevitable result is violent and
instantaneous closing of the pores of the
skin, by which waste and impure matters,
which were making their way out of the
system, are compelled to seek an exit
through some weaker part, not the natll.
raj one, and harm to that part is the re.
suit. The idea is presented by saying
that the cold is settled in that part. Tic

A lady was about getting into a small
boat to cross the Delaware; but wishing
first to get an orange at fruit stand, she
ran up the bank of the river, and on he1

a little wind Oh the water, and the cloth

her lungs, and within the year she, died Of

there was such, an extensive decay that
the yellow matter was scooped out by the

Multitudes of women loose health and
life every year in one of two ways; by
busying themselves in warm kitchen un.
til weary, and then throwing themselve:
on bed or sofa, without covering, and
perhaps in room without fire. or by re-
moving the outer clothing, and perhaps
changing the dress for a more common
one, as soon as they enter the house after 8
walk or a shopping. The rule should be-
invariably to 60 at once to a warm room
and keep Oh all the clothing at least five
or ten minutes, until the forehead is per-
fectly dry. In all weathers, if you have
to walk or ride on any occasion, do the

the glass from the lips for half 4 minute,
and then take another swallow. and 50 on.
1t will be found that in this way it be-
comes disagrceablc after few mouthtulls.

In Group, water. as cold as ice can

All intiammations, internal and exter-
nal, are probably reduced by the applica-
ton of ice or ice-water, because it is con-

away the extra heat, and also dimini>hes

Refrigerators, constructed to have the

If ice is put in milk or on butter. and
these are not used at the time, they loose
their freshness and become sour and stale

WASHINGTON FAIR.-The Washington
county (Pa.) fair closed yesterday. The
attendance was very large on Thursday,
but yesterday the town was densely
crowded. The train on the Hempfeld
Road from this city was literally packed
with people before it reached Washing
ton, but Captain MCoy, the urbane Con-
ductor, managed to store them all away
and convey them safely to Washington.
The Fair was decided success, at least
so far as drawing a crowd was concerned,
as every country lass, and her beau, with
in ten miles of the town, were there
The display of stock, agricultural nipple
ments, fruits, fancy articles, &c, was
tolerably good

A HANDSOME DWELLING Among the
many improvements made in our city
during the past year, the new dwelling
house of Mr. j. n Vance, OH Main street,
above the Bridge Corner, is by far the
finest and most costly. The house is
now about completed and presents a
neat and highly creditable appearance,
being handsomely furnished throughout.
The main building is forty by forty-eight
feet in diameter, and the rear building
twenty by thirty-six feet. There are
twelve rooms, large parlor and spa
cious hall, all we'll laid out and taste
fully arranged The grounds in front
of the dwelling, which are enclosed by a
neat and costly fence, Will be immedi-
ately cleared off and placed in order for
the reception of grass, shrubbery, trees,
etc, and the billy slope in the rear of
the house will be terrased and filed
with trees, etc The dwelling and sur
rounding grounds, cost about twenty
five thousand dollars The residence is
a handsome and convenient one and
will add greatly to the good appearance
of that section of the city.

two years Of age) was alive and kicking

NEGRO SHoT.-A shooting afray oc-
Cured in Washington, Pa, yesterday af-
ternoon, in which negro named James
Bryan was shot by aiman named Michael
Hall. Hall was walking up Main street,
near the Mansion House, in that town,
when the negro made some insulting re-
mark; Hall struck at the negro, but
missed him and fell to the ground; the
negro kicked Hall in the face while he
was lying on the side walk; Hall got up,
drew his revolver and fred upon the
darkey. The bali entered the negro's
leg, producing severe and probable dan
gerous wound. Hall was arrested and
placed in Jail, where he remained when
we left.

HAD THEIR HATS STOLEN "A few even
iugs since, two young gentleman-one
military officer and the other an NJ. D.,
went out to pay their respects to some
of their young lady friends. They wend-
ed their way to a residence on Main
street, rang the bell and were ushered
into the parlor-leaving their hats hang
ing on the hat rack The evening passed
by in social chatting, many topics were
discussed, and very pleasant and agree
able time was enjoyed by all present.
But the best of friends must part. At
reasonable hour, considering the circum-
stanccs) the gentlemen arose to depart
or their homes They walked ont into
the hall to get their hats; but 10 and be-
hold, when they reached the hat rack
they found, to their sorrow, that some
daring rogue had entered the house ana
appropriated them to their own use. The
gentlemen were in a terrible plight
the young folks aroused the old folks and
made known the fact that robbery
had taken place, and that the men were
minus hats Unfortunately for the Wis
itors there was but one gentleman in the
family, 1.-The man of the house." and con-
sequently there was but a light stock of
hats in the dwelling. The ladies came
to the rescue, after many suggestions
had bean made, and rendered their hats
to the hatless visitors. The offer was
accepted, the men took the ladies' hats
and left for their respective place of
abode. The next morning a darkey
might have been seen vending his way
to the Main street residence, having un-
der each arm ladies' hat-a fine little
"Capitola," and one of the more modern
style, commonly known as flat"

RELIGIOUS CoNvENTIoN.--We have
received copy of call for National
Religious Convention, which will con
vene in the city of Cleveland on We'd
nesday next, to which delegates from
this city are invited The meeting has
its origin in a spontaneous desire in m a.
uy Christians, the country over, to bring
home the benefits of genuine religion in
its everyday joys and eternal hopes more
rapidly TO the masses yet unreached by
the Gospel. The remarkable success Of
the Christian Commission in the army !;
the ready acceptance with which frank,
earnest and undenominational labors for
the spiritual good of the soldiers were
met the evident blessing of God on these
etfo.ts dictated by Christian love, have
raised the question whether some of the
same labor, put forth in the same spirit,
in behalf of our common Christianity,
for the millions of our countrymen yet
unreached by pure religion, might not
be attended by the same blessing and
fruit. One result of our national expert
ence of divine discipline, has been a
deepening seriousness in all minds
Truths are welcomed now by all men,
which few years ago were evaded or re-
sisted Religion has evidently great
mart to act in the vital restoration of
true unity in the land The separate ef-
forts of different denominations will be
faithfully made, no doubt But is there
not possible an outgoing of Christian
love, invitation and entreaty in the
name of all believers, which shall crown
every other good work, and swell i'm
mensely the harvest of present and eter-
nal joy
