life have occurred from neglect of this pre-.
caution.
These precautions faithfully observed will
protect those who are called to take care of
the sick, and will prevent the spread of the
disease. There is no danger in approaching
the sick, provided none of the poison OF
the eyacuations is introduced into the sys-
tenn, and accordingly II has been observed
IN former epidcmics, that nurses and physi-
cians are not more liable than others, to take
the disease. There is, therefore, no good
reason why those who are called ON to adj
minister to the sick, should fear 10 obey the
dictates OF duty and humanity, especially if
the proper precautions are taken.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS TO DE OBSERVED DUR
ING THE PREVALENCE OF CHOLERA.
Each person ought to continue his usual
uiet, taking care TO avoid the Use of unripe
irult and other indigestible articles of food.
The immOderate use of ardent spirits has
been found to predispose TO the disease.
They have no power to guard against an
attack Of cholera, and should be used spar
lngly, If at all. AS general rule, it is most
safe to abstain from their use.
Exposure TO cold and to night air should
be avoided as far as possible Woolen flan-
mel worn next the skin, affords the best pro
lection against cold.
no medicine which, If taken by a person in
health, will guard against an attack of chol-
era. 1t is not only useless, hut highly dan
gerous to have recourse TO the medicines
sold as Cholera Preventives,
During the existence of cholera diarrhea
very generally prevails Although we do
not think ii correct to say that this is the
first stage Of cholera, yet it is true that most
of the cases of cholera are preceded by this
diarrhea, and that any person laboring under
it is thereby rendered more likely to an at
tack of cholera. Hence diarrhea occurring
at such time, requires more care than is
called for under ordinary circumstances.
The safest course ior any one who has
diarrhea while cholera prevails, is to dis
continue work at once, and go directly 10
bed We do not recommend any medicine
as suitable to such cases. because we are sat
isiied that more harm will he done by the
indiscriminate use Of any remedy, than by
waiting till medical advice can be had

THE BENCH AND THE BAR

A correspondent from Sussex County,
writes to us as follows, in regard to the Court
just adjourned, at Georgetown. We cheer
fully give place 10 it in our columns to-day.
There is no State in the Union that has more
cause to feel proud of its Judiciary than
Delaware. A Bench so beloved by both Bar
and people cannot be otherwise than poten-
tial in calming the elements of dscord in
these times of civil oommoton and distrust.
To the firm, digniiied and courteous de-
meanor of the Bench of Delaware, we at
tribute much OF the order and loyalty which
characterized our little State during the days
of war and treason. A State, the integrity
and uprightness of whose Judges commend
them so largely to the popular esteem and
love, need have no fear for the entire vindi-
cation of its laws and the preservation of
justice:
1--WE stepped into the Superior Court room
few days since and had the pleasure OF
seeing a full bench, Chief Justice Gilpin
presiding, and Judges Wootten, Houston and
Wales, Associates
Whilst listening TO a charge of the Court
and remarking the speedy manner in which
business was dispatched, the query arose as
to whether they were properly appreciated
by those whose interests they so carefully
guard. The salaries they receive might be
satisfactory answer did we not know the
popular feeling and from that knowledge we
can say they are appreciated. l believe
am correct In saying that the Bench and Bar
were never on better terms, but know am
correct in stating that our Court here is in
good favor = decidedly popular with the
Masses
They are all equally agreeable upon the
Bench or in private society, kindly benign
ant, free from haughtiness or arrogance-yet
dignitied as Judges should be; fearless and
determined in their opinions Of right which
their thorough judicial cast of mind enables
them to attain, they are equally careful OF
the rights of others and of all.
Learned in the law, terse and severe 10.
gicians-pure and upright men form Bench
of which every Delawarean should feel
proud, for it possesses intellccts and quail
ties which would adorn the Supreme Bench
of our land
We always hail with pleasure the Spring
time and the Autumn which bring them al
together. SUSSEX"

THE SPRING CAMPAIGN The spring cam
paign is fairly open. Accident insurance has
already become household word through
out all the Northern States, and is rapidly
growing in favor in the Southern States, in
which it has been but recently introduced
1t is popular, because il meets real public
need, and is cheap. Hundreds have receiv-
ed the benefits of policy in the Travellers
of Hartford; in many cases the relief fur
nished by this Company has saved widows
and children from want and destitution
Accident insurance nds an experimental
now is reality 1t has been tried and not
found wanting.
The Travellers of Hartford claims to be
the oidcs latgest, and most reliable accident
insurance company in this country. In
making this claim, We utter no idle boast,
hut can provo each Of our statements. The
payment Of over $4,000 in losses within
twenty months, and cash surplus OF over
100000 on hand, show that we have both
the ability and the disposition to fulfill every
contract of insurance to the very letter.
Two years ago, April 1sl, the first policy
of insurance against accidents was issued by
the Travellers of Hartford. Since then, up
wards of $4,000 policies have been written
by this Company, and our large business is
steadily increasing. We thank our agents
from Canada to Texas, from Maine to Colo
ado, for their cooperation, ,and-iudglng the
future by the past-shall expect still better
things of them. Let the spring campaign
he lively one. f. A. Van Trump, State

lie Is GONE TO PoT.--A tailor of Samar-
cand, living near the gate leading to the
burying place, had by his shop board an
earthen pot hanging on nail, into which he
threw little stone when any corpse was
carried by, and at the end of every morning
he counted the contents of the pot, in order
to ascertain the number of the deceased.
AT length the tailor died himself, and some
time after, one that was unacqusinted with
his death, observing his shop to be deserted,
inquired what had become of him, when one
of the deceased's neighbors replied, "Thc
fellow Is gone to the pot, as well as the rest. "
