CENTRAL HOTEL, PATTEss0y.--This
long and tsvorably known Ho.el has been
purchased by Caleb Parker, Esq. He
il.s had it improved, Iepaiuted aud re.
furnished throughout. 1t is now one Of

a sale room under the old Union hotel,
where he is prepared to furnish our citl-
zeus with good Beef every Tuesday.
Thursday and Saturday mornings. Mr.
Thomas having adopted the cash system.
is prepared to sell beef little cheaper
than can be purchased elsewhere.
CATERPILLAR We hear complaint
made by many of our is;n,ers that the
catterpiIiars nre extremely plenty aud do
inc rhc fruit trees in jury. 4 gentleman
from the country says he used coal oil,
and met with perfect success in destroy
ing them. He used a small oil can tied
fast to the end o. pole, AMI saturated
the nests with coal oil, and in few min
u,es the pests were entirely destroyed.
BOARD OF HEALTH We understand
our city fathers" intend forming Board
of Health in our borough. This is com
mendable, and We suggest to our neigh
Lors across the river and our friends
throughout the country that they DO like
wise, as both boroushs are badly in need
Of some sanitary measures in orGer that
the citizens will be compelled 20 clean up
their premises-torci5iy il not peacibly.
and the only way 10 accomplish hi, end
is 20 appoint Board and Invest them
With the necessary power to compel ODE
dicncc TO their orders. We fear that the
step iakcn by our Town Council will
prove ineGeetuaI unless ei,ey ,.-~a-~a Or
dinance creating Board OF Health.
