The Census of 1870.

The ninth census of the United States
will be taken, under the provisions Of the
act of May 23d, 1850, on the first Of
June next The assistants are paid as
follows Two cents for every name
taken fifteen cents for every productive
establishment industry two cents for every
dead person; and two per cent, of the
gross amount OF names enumerated, for
social statistics and ten cents per mile
for travel. 1t will be seen by the forego-
ing that the compensation allowed an
assistant or enumerator, provided the
district allotted to him shall not contain
less than 10000 persons, will be about
5000 or more
The United States Marshal is forbidden
by law to accept any bribe or considera-
tion for an appointment Of assistants, and
is liable to fine of 81 900 should he be
convicted of so doing.
The law provides that each assistant,
after qualifying, shall perform his duties
by personal visit to each dwelling house,
and to each family in his subdivision,
and shall ascertain by inquiries made by
some member of each family, if any one
can be found capable of giving the infor
mation--but if not, then of the agent of
such family the name Of each member
thereof, the age and place of birth Of each,
sex, color, ETC., and shall also visit person
ally the farms, mills, shops, mines, or
other places respecting which information
is required; and when such information
is obtained and entered in his blanks,
then his memoranda shall be read to the
person furnishing the facts for revision.
There is a penalty of thirty dollars for
refusing to furnish the required iuforma-
tion to the assistant.

Operations OF Judge Lynch.

On the I'd inst, a general meeting of
the citizens of Helena, Mon. Ter, was
called to take action in the case of two
men charged with robbery and attempted
murder.
The meeting then selected a committee
of twenty-four persons to try the case,
and upon coming before the committee
the prisoners confess their crime, from
which itappears that the robbery and mur-
der of Mr.. LenEart were deliberately
planned by them. AT two p. N. the
Committee reported that both the prison
ers were guilty, and sentenced them to be
hanged at half past four, and at that hour
over three thousand persons were congre-
gated at the hangman's tree.
At five p. NJ. the wagon on which the
prisoners stood, with ropes about their
necks was driven from under them, and
frontier Justice was satisfied. The citizens
meeting was not vigilance committee
and the whole affair was conducted in a
quiet but determined manner, and nc
one questions the justice both of the trial
and verdict.

A fortnight later Commissioner Whitley,
hearing of the transaction, set detective
Nettleship on the track of Scrimshaw,

his person SEC, 900 worth Of stolen French

What "POrt Wine" is Made of.

Some parties in Stonington, Connecti-
cut, have recently been prosecuted for
selling adulterated wines and liquors.
Samples of their stuff were submitted
to Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, the
State Chemist, and the following is the
result of his analysis of what was sold
for port wine: the liquor was turbid,
heavily laden with sugar or molasses and
some coloring matter; containing 2l per
cent. of alcohol; over 10 per cent. of SUI
gar of moasses about 100 grains of sui
phuric acid to the gallon, part of it free,
as oil Of vitriol, and part combined in
alum oxide of lead, or litharge, in pois-
onous quantities Of about 40 grains to the
gallon. The alcohol had an acid taste, ,and
the coloring matter an offensive odor.-
The liquor was stronger Of lead than
most water poisoned by it.

Bagn When diseases of the throat pre-
vail, and particularly dry, hacking
cough, which is not only distressing to
ourselves, but to our friends and those
with whom we ale brought into contact,
those thus afflicted may be benefited by
the following remedy given by u CORE
spondent:
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common salt
We commenced by using it three times a
day, morning, noon and night. We dis
solved a large teaspoonful of common salt
in about half a tumblerful of cold water.
With this we gargled the throat most
thoroughly before meal time. The re-
suit has been that through the entire win
ter we were not only free from the usual
coughs and colds to which, as far as our
memory extends, we have always been
subject, but the dry, hacking cough has
entirely disappeared, We attribute it en-
tirely to salt gargle, and do most cordially
recommend it to those of our readers who
are subject to disease of the throat.
Many persons who have not tried the
salt gargle have the impression that it is
unpleasant. Such is not the case. On
the contrary, it is pleasant, and after a
few days use no person who loves a nice
clean mouth, and good sharpener of the
appetite, will abandon it.

NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A.
Tuesday,, Nay 10, 1870.

THE committee on pensions have re-
ported adversely on the petition Of Mrs.
Lincoln for pension, and yet the gener-
al impression in Washington appears to
be that the pension will be granted. If
the members feel that the amount asked
for can be spared, it stems to us that
the country would be acting more justly
to increase the pensions Of the manned
soldiers who depend upon the pittance
received from the government for their
daily bread, rather than to pay pension
to one who according to testimony offered
is worth sufficient to live comfortably
Pensioning person worth $50, 900 while
some starve on a monthly pittance Of
$500, is not exactly the thing for re-
publican government to do and from tes-
timony offered to the senate committee,
it was proved that Mrs. Lincoln possessed
property variously estimated to be worth
from thirty to seventy thousand dollars.
Under these circumstances we do not think
she has any claim for pension.

cannot abide the storm without hinching
lies down by the wayside to be overlooked
or forgotten.
