asa-Hon. Thomas H. Burrowes, Of Ian
caster, Superintendent of Soldiers Orphans
ofthe State Of Pennsylvania, is very desirous
of establishing Soldiers Orphan School in
this county, but up to the present writing he
has been unable to procure a suitable build
ing. Such a school is regarded as almost a
matter of necessity in this region. There are
very many orphans in this county thatrequire
the immediate advantage of one of these
schools. Is there no suitable building to be
had in the county, within FIVE or six miles Of
the railroad, which could be applied to this
purpose2

HAEGNAN's S DAY-Governor Curtin has put
an end to the superstitous practice too prev
alent in this country, Of ordering public exc
cutions to be made on Friday, which day Of
the week is therefore kept in bad repute, as
'Hangman's Day" A short time ago he
ordered criminal to be executed on some
other day, Monday, if we are not mistaken.
He has Just issued another death warrant for
an execution in Lycoming county, naming
Tuesday as the day for the completion Of the
sentence. If the Governors OF other States
would combine to discountenance the peculiar
practice Of choosing Fridays for executions,
in a few years the ancient superstition which
assigns bad luck to that day, would be alto
gether forgotten.
How TO DO Up SHIRT BosoMs.-We have
often heard ladies express a desire to know
by what process the fine gloss observed on
new linens, shirt bosoms, etc, is produced,
and in order to crafty them, we submit the
following receipt for mrking Gum Arabic
Starch Take two OF. 6ne white Gum Ara
hic powder, put it into a pitcher, and pour on
q pint or more Of boiling water-aceording
10 the strength you desire-and then having
covered it let it set all night In the morn
ing pour carefully from the dregs, into bot.
tle, cork it and keep it for use. A table
spoonful of gum water stirred into pint Of
starch, madein the usual manner, viii give to
either white or printed lawns look Of new
ness; which nothing else can restore them
after washing. Much diluted, it is also good
for thin muslin and bobinet.--E Exchange
