SOLDIERS DIseH HARGE pApEitS 1T will be
remembered that we have tre,. leutly refer
red to tie attempt to set up sye;em of
huckstering in soldiers discharge papers,
and that we denounced the swindles prac
ticed In the matter of these discharges.
The purchase of them, is We believe, no
longer Attempted but various imposters.
,are traversing the country claiming to be
agents of the State, for the purpose of col
lecting them, in order to secure additional
bounties for veteran soldiers. In many
cases soldiers have parted with these, to
them, Invaluable documents, without even
taking a receipt, and they are therefore lost.
1t may as well be said here and now, that
no such agents have been appointed, and
those who represent themselves to be so are
swindlers Acain we advise soldiers to keep
their discharge papers in their own hands.
ECoNoMY.-The necessity of economizing
necessary articles of food have advanced to
an enormous price, and wearing apparel is
generally in proportion. Americans will
have to learn that they eat too much, and
dress too fine, as a class, and perhaps it
will be useful lesson The wonderful re-
sources of the country, and the rapidlty
with which fortunes are accumulated, have
generated spirit of extravaganza through
all classes, Persons of quite limited means
try to emulate the example Of their more
opulent neighbors. Many persons who
should attend to their own households hire
help, have increased the costliness of their
dress, and the abundance of their tables,
until such climax has been reached that
a reaction must take place. Retrenchmcnt
is necessary. ami the soOner that it takes
place the better The wise will heed the
warning, lest the evil day viii oyertake them
when least prepared.

and the two clubs went into the field and
the game was commenced, Capital Club
having the first innings. II began TO rain

very excellent playing was done by both
Clubs, but the bad state OF the weather
prevented the players Of either club from
displaying their best skill The game was
a spirited one, and was closely contested,
although quite heavy score was made.
During the first innings Of the Washington
Club the ball was probably In the worst

LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR.-By an advertise

Mr.. L. d. f. Armstrong, of Detroit. will
soon be in this place to affix Copper Strip
Lightning Conductors to the State build
ings in this city, and will receive orders
Tor church editices and private buildings.
We have made some examination in refer
ence to the merits Of this Conductor, and
the testimony Of scientific men is unani-
nous that, as a protection, it Is very far
superior to the old iron Conductor. These
Copper Conductors are attached directly to
the building. ,rittOut DlSUlatiOn, and they
are not liable TO get loose, as are the iron

FEMALE PuYsI,IANs.- The idea col female
doctoring, a a profession, is of this gene
ration an Outgrowth OF the great principle
announced 10y Lucy stone and her strong
minded associates, that it is right for a
woman TO do whatever she can DO well.
Women are trying their hands at medicine.
and the public will ultimately decide wheth-
er they can doctor we'll. or, if they can.
whether men cannot do the same thing bet
ter. So far the women have attained a
measure Of success. In the eastern States,
where all kinds of Iadicalism are supposed
to grow spontaneously. we have the impress
sion that this Kind Of doctors are on the
gain: and We have before US an address at
the 10th session of the Female Medical Col
lege OF Pennsylvania, by which it appears
that the College is fifteen years old. has
given Is diplomas. and nearly four times rs
many more ladies have matriculated and
and attended the lectures. The course OF
study lasts for three years

Tue WEATHER. For two weeks past the
weather, for the greater part Of the time,
il has been moderately cool, with very lit
lie sun, and plenty Of drizzlins rains, Ill
yersided by occasionally fright smart
showers. II has been impossible to make
hay without having il damaged, and stan
ling grass and grain have been badly
lodged 10y the rain and the wind. We hear
Il said that wheat has sprouted and begun
10 grow; but 10 what extent statements OF
OF this kind may be true we have not been
able 10 learn. such statements are usually
much exaggerated. Potatoes will he Il
great crop. if the growth of the tubers cor
respond with the tops; and corn every
where Is of good color, and looks promis-
ne. The yield Of oats will also be large.
