THE losses sustained by individuals who neg
lcct to insure in reliable companies, is immense,
and many families who are in comfortable cir
cumstances could often be saved from total ruin
if they would attend to insurance in time against
that monster destroyer-fre. We are happy,
however, to notice that many are using the pre-
caution of late by getting insured in the Peoples.
Fire Insurance Company, Philadelphia, which is
considered safe and reliable. They also insure
life at the lowest rates. Mr.. Gosser, their agent
at this place, is doing a handsome business in
making ont policies in this part of the State.

THE man who boards his money is miser
! The man who spends his money injudiciously is
n spendthrift, and comes to run. The man who
invests his money carefully provides for his pre-
sent wants, and the wants of his family in time
to come, can enjoy his work, his meals his sleep,
and be surrounded by bright and smiling faces.
Most of the latter make their purchases at Wei
mcr'S popular cash store, No. 90, 1Iaupts block,
where business is done strictly on cash principles,
his motto being "Quck Sales and Small Profts.''
You need no cooperative store--why 2 because
your cash protects you-credt ruins you. Good
men, where credit is given, pay the profits on lost
accounts.

A New JAIL.---Our President Judge has re-
in the place of the old delapidated structure now
in use in this place. This is n project which
should long since have attracted the attention of
the people Of this county. The old Jail buildings
are totally unfit - unsafe and unhealthy. A
prisoner has rights which are to be respected,
particularly in regard to health. When incarce-
rated he should at least be provided with healthy
apartments, and not be compelled to risk disease
in the damp, unyentiated cells of our present
county Jail. We commend the movement on the
part of Judge Rockefeller as a measure of human
ity. We need building of modern design, and
its erection should be commenced as soon as pos
sible. The county is able to erect good sub
stantial building. Since the election Of Repub-
lican board of Commissioners, the outstanding
taxes are rapidly being collected and it is proba-
BILE that the whole of the county Indebtedness,
amounting to about thirty thousand dollars, will
be nearly paid Off during the next year with the
amount of tax levied up to this time. With q
small additional tax, probably not more than
that levied for some five years past, when the
county was getting into debt annually, a hand
some Jail, with all the modern conveniences, can
be erected, and the Taxpayer can see where their
money is expended. The experiment Is worth
trial, and we move that our county officers pro-
coed in the matter without delay.

JoHN l.. WATSON, ESQ, is a good Republican
and has proved his faith by his works. On Tues
day last he prepared to assist in the good work
OF conveying his neighbours to the polls in his
buggy While In the act of stepping into his
rigging his horse started suddenly and ran against
a post at the corner OF Rev. s. H. Reid's resi-
dence with such violence rs to throw Mr.. Wat
son over the dash board ana down between the
thills and the front wheel the left side.
In this position, still holding the lines, he was
dragged about twenty yards when he succeeded
in turning the horse on the sidewalk at Capt.
Douglas residence. Mr.. Watson on regaining
his feet discovered that he had received number
ofsevere bruises and abrasions, but not sufficient
to contlnc him to the house, Niltoniasa.

EPIzooT1o.-The dread horse disease which has
appearance in this vicinity. We learn tina. on
Tuesday last several horses were attacked along
the canal on the opposite side Of the river, and
that a number of boats were tied up in conse-
quence. The disease is spreading rapidly along
the Pennsylvania canal, and we may soon ex-
pect that cases will occur on this side of the river.
As this disease is prevailing all over the coun-
try, Suubury and vicinity cannot expect to escape.
And as there are some unmindfu of the Divine
rule, ''A mercful man is mercifu to his beast -
and may persist in working their horses when
sick, we publish the following sensible paragraph
from the MnerS' JouraGl, which suits the case
precisely
"Now that so many horses are sick and unable
to perform any service, we would remind those
who sometimes are classed as being cruel to their
animals that the deprivation of the labor of this
most noble of animals, the horse, is an excellent
time to show their appreciation in proper d-
rection by careful nursing and a determination
in the future to desist from .ll-treatment and
abuse which is often witnessed upon our streets.
To our mind there is no excuse for the indiscrm-
mate and wanton cruelty so often practced upon
the dumb beasts who, In many cases possess
more sagacity and better Judgment than their
hard and cruel taskmasters. We are glad to no.
tice that vigilant watch is being kept over such
abuses all the country, by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Let examples
be made, and we are confident the public will
gratefully approve its action"

A LITTLE sUsrIcIous.-Our neighbor of the
Democrat offers dozen bottles Of wine for sale
since the election, which he says will be sold
cheap. 1t must be a very inferior article when
Democratic editor offers to sell any kind Of H.
quors. There was no occasion, however, to de-
signate the persons who could not purchase it,
unless at full price, as they are not in the habit
of indulging In the cheap piSon which has such
potent influence among Democratic editors, and
their ardent followers.

Posi- OFFICE BUILDING WANTED.-There is
considerable complaint on the part of many OF
our citizens in regard to the Post Office building
in this place. The business within few years
has increased so Rapidly that the accommoda-
tions are entirely too small for our fast growing
borough. The crowd gathering on the arrival OF
the mails, who are compelled to enter and leave
through one door, renders it very unpleasant, and
especially so to females. A post Office building
should at least have two doors, so that the peo-
pie can enter at one and leave through the other.
For the credit and convenience of the town a
more suitable place should be secured, and If the
Post Office Department will not aid in the matter
we hope some of our enterprising citizens will
step in and give us this necessary improvement.
