ALMOST A FATAL MIsTAKE.-A
Mrs. Croft, residing east of Berlin,
while mixing up buckwheat cakes one
day last week, used arsenic instead of
soda, and did not discover the mistake
until after the eatiPg of the cakes,
when the entire family was suddenly
taken ili. Medical aid was at once
summoned. aud, at hast accounts, the
family were supposed TO beout oidan-
ger. We have not been informed
whether The poison WAS kept lying a
bout tie house. or whether it was
bought for soda. bat ia either case il
should serve "a warning to house
Keepers ard those usually selling these
articles. .SomerSet DtBl0crat.
WAR AGAINST THE CREDIT SYs-
TEu.-Tke merchants aud dealers of
Somerset county have published card
in which they announce their inten-
tfon of eventually ahoIishing the cred
it system entirely" and give notice
that hereafter they will strictly adhere
To the following rules:
''No goods sold on longer cedit than
six months.
That interest at the rate of 10 per
cent. will be added to all accounts run
ming over due.
All running accounts will be consld-
cred due and payable July lst and Jan
uary Ist of each year.
That we will not sell on credit the ar
ticles of -four, grain, butter, eggs and
bacon"
IL merchants and dealers would
strictly adhere To rules like the above
il would be far better for the buyer aud
setter, Experience teaches every one
that long credits are ruinous and a
curse alike to producer and consul
mer. Pay : you go." Is the true
Philosophers stone.
\ PARTING WoRD.-We have
grown tired Of printing duns in this
shape. Our friends in arrears are
proof against all su.h missiles. We
nave, therefore, concluded to try diff
fereut plan, of which due notice Is
hereby given. We are now sending TO
each delinquent subscriber d statement
Of his account. with the proposition
that if it be paid by Feb. 10, 1870, a
certain deduction will be made. Ii not
paid by that time, faH rates riH be
charged, payment enforced by tar, and
tie piper discontinued Ia all caSes Of
mare than one gears GrreTdge. Cp-
wards of ten thousand d01iars of unpaid
subscriptions aud advertising have ac-
cumuIated on our books during the
last five years. This is a load We can
not carry any longer. Will our friends
assist us in tightening it, or must we
summon to our al that vexatious and
detestable instrumentality, The Lar?
