COUGHS AND COLDS.

There are fsw persons who are aware Of the i'm
portance Of attending 70 cough or a cold at IL
drst appearance. The thousands who die annually
o. mption, were first attacked with a"alight'
cough or cold, which they thought would soon
swear itself on, aud therefore neglected to use
the proper remedies until they bseamc incurahle.
Every day that cough, cold, or any lung dis.
ease is neglected. makes the chances OF cure
more uncertain. We would recommend all suffer
ing from any disease Of the Lungs whatever, to
use liAssoS's ConrouNp SyRur OF TAR. II never
fails in curing the worst eases Of coughs, colds,
hoarsencsr, sore throat, caiarih and asthma It

ing prescribed by some Of the leading physicians
in the Northern and Southern States, and being

AGRICULTURAL ScENE.-On Monday,
the 18th of April we witnessed rare scene
While watching the descending snow fakes from
the sherif's Office window we observed Ex-Goy.
Bigler making garden with his ovorcoat on.
While raking bed he evidently became chilled
and blinded with the sDow, and Strengthening
himself up, shrugged bis shoulders, holding on to
a rake in one hand and with the other buttonng
up his oSerecat and adjusting his mttens. In
romance, the scene might bc termed 'the chilling
effect Of gardening in a snow Storm"

PETITIONS FOR EQUAL EXPERIMENTATION.

The members Of lthe Legislature from this
County--certAinly all those chosen at the recent
election earnestly in favor Of equalzing rep
resentation, and will use their best efforts to go
complish the result at this session. What theS
need, now, is endorsement and help from the
people. They should be encouraged, every day
of the session, by petitions and memorials, ad-
dressed to the Legislature, respectfully, but
firmly asking the redress of the great wrong
now put upon New Castle County.
The petition printed in the COMMERCIAL on
Thursday was carefully drawn, and expresses,
in temperate language, the present situation. It
may well serve az q suggestion of what is needed,
II nothing better is proposed from any quarter,
aud we shall therefore have copies printed, at
once. and the public may obtain them, (free Of
any charge, Of course at the publication office
of the COMMERCIAL. The petition we refer to is
as follows:
"TAxATIoN WITHOUT REPRESENTATION,
Is TYRANNY"
TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELI
AWARE.
The Prayer Of he undersigned, in behalf of more
than Thirty Thousand Distrdnchised People,
earnestly shOtoeth:
That the present apportiontment Of Senators
and Representatives, fixed in the Constitution, for
ty years ago, has become, by the more rapid in-
crease Of population in the County Of New Cas-
tie, grossly disportionate and unequal, the in
habitants Of that county being now more than
double in number those Of either Kent or Sus-
sex Counties and
That, in consequence Of this glsring inequali-
ty your petitioners are now without just or
sufficient voice in the General Assembly, there
by suffering great injury in their rights as cti-
Zens enduring the provisions Of Laws which
they have not their share in framing and sup
porting, without due consent, the burdens Of
public taxation; they therefore,
PETITION YOU TO exercise the authority con-
ssrred by the Constitution and to adopt, as
promptly as possible, such measures as will se-
cure to all the people Of the State, EQUAL REPRE-.
sENTATIoN in both branches of their General As
tembly.

EDITORIAL TOPICS.

The Norristown Herald appeared o n Mon
day in its enlarged form, according to the pre-
Vious announcement which we noticed. Itlooks
very we'll, but we have only received one copy,
this week.
We referred, day or two ago, to two ex-
plosions of range boilers in Cincinnati. Others
are reported from all parts of the country. One
in Harrisburg killed q woman instantly In
Frankford, (PhiladA., } on Thursday, one explo-
ded in the house Of Harvey Quicksall, doing
great damage to the kitchen, and breaking the
thigh Of the servant. All these accidents, 1t
seems, are attributed to one cause the freezing
Of the water pipes. When the water in them
suddenly melts, it rushes into the red hot pipe
and an explosion follows. The obvious moral If
not to let your water pipes freeze, Ia We cod
weather, it is bad economy to lot fires 80 out.
1t is cheaper to keep them going.
The city clock is fast approaching it's fifteen
minutes advance Of correct time. A day or two
ago, same h'Hdering influence seemed to have
discouraged it little, but it is rapidly picking
up the lost distance or what use, can any wis,
man te'', is public clock which lies ?
We print elsewhere roll OF about 25J pu,
pills Of the public schools, who during the tern
of four months just closed were never once eithel
absent or 'tardy." This punctuality procure,
them the honor of being placed on the Roll
which we have great pleasure now in giving tC
tho public. They certainly have well earned
tho diatirc ction
