WE take pleasure IN calling the attention Of
our readers to the card of Henry Taylor, who
has it seems made Portland his home, and we
trust will not have any cause to regret uniting
his fortunes with our business men and that
he will have fair share of patronage in the
line of business which he intends pursuing.
Inc central locality of the stores occupied by
him (being quite near Middle street and oppo-
site the Union street side of the Famouth)
Will induce, we hope, our Portland and other
friends to call on him when in want of his SER
vices or money on collateral (Which is in de-
mand just now.)

says on Thursday last Mr.. John OBrien of
Moose River started from the settlement to
return across the Attean and Haleb ponds,
some 20 miles. Monday, parties with whom
he had previously arranged, proceeded to meet
him at the head OF Attean pond; where, not
finding him, they crossed the Garry to Haleb
pond, where they found his birch canoe, pad
die and coat. On going to the farm he had
not been seen, and doubt exists that he was
drowned. Parties are now engaged in drag
ging for the body. MIR. O'Brien was about So

IHE latest fashionable wedding described in
the New York papers was that of Miss Nellie
Lansing, of New York, and Mr.. Herbert G.
Crane, of Philadelphia. The lady possesses
among other accomplishments that of being a
skllltul skatist In consequence of the recent
death, in Paris, of the brides aunt, and as Mr.
Crane lost $4,000 on the late International
rowing match, the marriage was conducted
very quietly and without any fuss, futter or
confusion. The engagement ring cost the trifle
of $25OO, and was rare specimen of the jew
oilers art. Among the wedding cards was one
bearing the inscription 'No presents will be

was lined with white satin quilted. Large
pearl beads encircled the neck of the bride,
and ornaments of pearl were suspended from
her ears and clasped her wrists The bridegroom
was attired in the English costume. He wore
a Prince Arthur coat, light trowsers, high OK

TIE robbery of the safe of the Dorchester
Insurance Company on Thursday night was a
bold operation. The burglars gained entrance
to the building through large window in the
back room. They came fully prepared to make
clean thing of their job, bringing with them
some very finely manufactured BURGLARS, tools
consisting of jmmies, iackscrews, bits, chisels,
powder, fuse, &c. After entering they pro-
ceeded at once to erect tripod frame in front
OF the safe door, which they used as brace or
lever Tor their bit. They then bored hole
ABOUT two and half inches in diameter
through the door near the lock. Through this
they inserted a jackscrew, heading it against
tho inner door. By means of this powerful
purchase they sprung the lock, fairly twisting
OF the brass bolt, which is piece of metal
four inches wide and an inch in thickness
FMS done they had no further laborious work
10 perform. They then commenced to ego
through the drawers and boxes and turned
out more than 1000 papers in sealed packages,
winch they broke open. This vault has al
ways been considered one of the best in the
country, and could not have beer forced save
Dy professional thieves. Their work done,
they evidently made a hurried escape, leaving

towns papers, in an adjoining yard, minus its

says she thought she heard voices in the build

window where the burglars entered, but after

How to Breathe.

THERE is one rule to be observed in
taking exercise by walking-the very best
form in which it can be taken by the able
bodied of all ages-and that is. never allow
the action of respiration to be carried on
through the mouth. The nasal passages
are clearly the medium through which
respiration was designed by our Creator
to be carried on. "God breathed into
mans nostrils the breath of life" previous
to his becoming living creature. The
difference in the exhaustion of strength by
a long walk with The mouth firmly closed,
and respiration carried through the nos
trils instead of through the mouth, is in
conceivable to those who have never tried
the experiment And indeed this mis-
chievOus and really unnatural habit of
carrying on the work of inspiration and
expiration through the mouth instead of
through the nasal passages is the true
origin of almost all the diseases of the
throat and lungs, as congestion, asthma,
bronchitis, and even consumption itself.
That excessive perspiration to which some
individuals are so liable in their sleep !;
which is so weakening to the body, is
solely the effect of such persons sleeping
with their mouths unclOscd. And the
same unpleasant and exhaustive re-
suits are occasioned to the animal system
from walking with the mouth open, instead
of, when not engaged in conversation, pre-
serving the lips in state of firm but quiet
compression. AS the heart and velocity of
the blood through the lungs depend al
most entirely upon the quantity of the at
mOspheric air inhaled with each inspira-
ton, and it is unavoidable that it should
be taken in volume, by the mouth, while
it can only be supplied in moderate quanti-
ties and just in sufficient proportion to
serve the purpose of healthy, respirative
action while supplied through the nostrils,
it is clear that the body must be much
lighter and cooler, and also the breathing
is much freer and easier when the latter
course rather than the former one is
adopted Children ought never to be
allowed to stand with their mouths open;
for besides the vacant appearance it gives
to the countenance, it is the certain pre-
cursor of colds, coughs and sore throats.-

Hints to HOusekeepers.

FROM my reading of some of the best
authorities on the subjects here referred
to, / have come to the following con-
clusion: Vessels intended to contain liquor
of higher temperature, should be con-
structed of materials which are the worst
radiators of heat. Thus, tea urns and tea
pots are best adapted for their purpose
when constructed of polished metal, and
worst when constructed,,of black porcelain.
A black porcelain tea pot is the worst
conceivable material for that vessel, for
both its materials and color are good
radiators of heat, and the liquid contained
i'm it cools with the greatest possible
rapidity. On the other hand, bright
metal tea pot is best adapted for the
purpose, because il is the worst radiator of
heat, and therefore cools as slowly as pos
sible. A polished silver or brass tea urn
is better adapted to retain the heat of the
water than one of dull brown color
such as is most commonly used. A tin
kettle retains the heat of water boiled in
it more effectually if it be kept clean and
polished, than if Il be allowed to collect
The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1869-11-11

the smoke and SCOT to which it is exposed
from the action of the fire. When coated
with this its surface becomes rough and
black, and is powerful radiator of heat.
A close stove, intended to warm apart
ments, should not have a polished sur
face, for in that case it is one of the worst
radiators of heat, and nothing could be
contrived less fit for the purpose to which
it is applied. On the other hand, a rough,
unpublished surface of cast iron is favor
able to radiation, and fire in such a
stove will always produce a most power
full effect.-C0r. Germantown I6leqrdph.

knew how often the physician is COM
PEELED to gaze upon it. The secret potations
of the drawing-roOm are not less disas-
trous in their consequences than the more
vulgar carousals of the drinking saloon or
the bar-room. Tobacco and whisky are
now doing harm enough in almost every
community, without women abandoning
themselves to the same malign influence.
Beware of the bottle, no matter under
what shape it may seek admission into the
household! The only safe tonics are to
be found in regular hours, good exercise,
simple fare, and needful proportion of
sleep. The truth is as old as the hills,
but it is not superfious to enforce it once
more, when city life and quackery COM
bined are destroying the energy and vi
vacity of youth, and bringing down gray
heads in sorrow to the grave.-Neo York
