Names of Places.

Bro. Badcock of the New Brunswick k
Frcdonian, gives the following informa-
ton about the names of some places in
Warren county, n. j., beginning with
Manunka Chunk:
This station is named after a noted In
dian Hill in the immediate vicinity. The
name should be spelled Penungauchung,
the original and correct autobiography hav-
ing been corrupted into the meaningless
words Manunka Chunk!
Pahaquarry, the present name of the
township in New Jersey on the opposite
side of the Delaware from the Kittatinny y
House, was named after an Indian village
situated on what is now Andrew Ribble's
farm, the true autobiography of which was
idhauqualong!
What is now know as AAldnluchy II
Warren county. is a corruption upon tht
Indian word AHan,uchyhokkin
Thus do the original and often expires
sive aboriginal names disappear from
the memory and the record.
Kitotinny is the Indian namc OF a
mountain, or rather series of them, anC
means no end-the Indians doubtless sup
posing there was no end to the range o
mountains to which they attached the
name.

The Cholera.

There seems to be good reason to be-
lieve that the cholera is fairly established
in New York and its vicinity. During
the week ending on Friday evening last,
seventy five cases were reported in that
city. Of these, upon examination, four
teen were declared genuine, and OF them
eight proved fatal-a very large per cent
age of mortality. In Brooklyn there were
nineteen deaths, from the same disease,
between the 9Th and the goth. In all
these instances the victims were said to
be living in the worst possible condition
to ward away the visits of the pestilence
The sanitary condition of New York can
not be very satisfactory. The deaths last
week reached the enormous number of
one thousand and eighty-three, being
about do1ble the usual summer rate OF
mortality. On Harts Island among the
army recruits, it is said that the deaths
have been many, SO much that quite a
panic exists upon the subject. In Phil
adelphia the return of the Board Of
Health shows an increase in the number
of deaths, as is natural in consequence Of
the oppressively hot weather of the week,
which produced many deaths from sun
stroke and exhaustion, but our condition
in sanitary point of view is much better
than that of our neighbor, and if we keep
our streets clean aud are prudent in our
conduct we may hope to escape the worst
influences Of the scourge.-Laquirer.

We have neglected, heretofore, to no
tice the many valuable and elegant i'm
provements which are going on in oul

Mr.. John Kern is also pushing ahead
the three story addition to the house pur-
chased by him of Mr.. Samuel Emery, on
Elizabeth-st. near the Pocono; adjoining
Or. Jackson's residence This improve
ment is also of brick, and will be finished
for two private residences. When compile
ted it will prove quite an addition and
ornament to that end Of the town, and
monument of Mr.. Kern's liberality and
enterprise.
Mr.. Charles B. Keller, is also pushing
ahead his new building on the lot pur-
chased by him of James III. Walton, Esq.

a Few Facts for Ladies.

1t is seldom that cosmetic commands
by its intrinsic merit a universal popular
ity. During the past ten years hun
dred bogus preparations for the skin have
been foisted into the market BY all Of the
tricks of advertising, and every attem pit
has been made to secure for them the
patronage Of ladies' The device of claim
ing European origin has been extensive
ly used by the cosmetic manufacturers
and they have often charged an exorbi-
tant price for their articles, for the pur-
pose of making them appear valuable
In direct opposition to this mode of doing
business has the Enamel Of America"
been introduced to the notice of the la
dies OF this country. The proprietors Of
the "Enamep were satisfied with good
probt on their preparation, and conse-
quently have not been compelled to re-
duce its price in order to secure patron,
ronage. A visit to the store of Dreher
& Brother will convice the most fastid
ious that the enamel of America" is
really preparation worthy of trial at
least.

The Atlantic Cable.

1t will be seen from intelligence IN
print this morning that the Great Eastern
has once more started on her important
mission in connection with the laying oi
the Atlantic Cable. The auspices have
been all cheering The splice of the ca
bic had been completed without difficulty
i35 miles had been laid, and the signals
were perfect throughout. 1t would be
premature, however, to predict success
from these things. Last year the cir
cumstances attending the start of the
mammoth ship on her important voyage
were equally favorable, and yet the entrr.
prise came to grief. But the conditions
under which the attempt to lay the cable
is renewed this year differ from those Of
the previous attempts, and it is in that
differ rence we see ground for hope that
this ii me success will crown the persever
ngelorts of those engaged in this mighty
undertaking. The lessons ofcxpcrience
taught by past failures, have been turned
TO profitable account, and every provision
which hnman foresight could make a.
gainst failnre has been adopted. Should
the anticipations of those now engaged in
laying the cable be realized, we may ex.
pect to receive exciting news from New.
fou ndland before the end of the present
weekly. Y. Tribune.
