EXERCISE Give children an abuu.
dance ofoutdoor exercise, fun and lrolic
make them regular in their habits, aud
feed them only upon plain, nourishing
food, and they will seldom, if ever,
complain OF lack Of appetite. But
keep them Over-tasked in school, con
fined closely to the house The rest of the
time, irowning down every attempt at
play; feed them upon rich or high
seasoned food, candies, nuts, ect., allow
them to eat between meals and late
in the evening, and youneed not expect
them to have good appetite'. On the
contrary, you may expect they will be
pale, weak, aud sickly. Don't cram
them with food when they don't want,
or have no appetite for it-such course
is slow murder. If they have no appe-
tites encourage, and, if need be, com
mand them to take exercise in the open
air. DON'T allow them to study too
much, and especially keep them from
reading the exciting light literature
which so much abounds in our book
stores and circulating Libraries. In adj
| ditiOn to securing exercise for the chill
dren as above, change their diet some
what; especially ifthey have been eating
| fine flour, change to coarse or Graham
flour. Sickness is the most expensive
nuisanceon the face Of the globe. There
may be instances where il makes peopl,
or children better, but generally i
makes them selfish, sad, misanthropic
nervous, mean and miserable. The
best way to make children happy ant
good is TO keep them well.-BoStoI

They are an enterprising young firm
lately established in Catawissa and from
the astonishing amount of Dry Goods
they sell il evident that the people
are attracted By their low prices. They
are in constant receipt of fresh goods
from New York. They sell only for
ca sh, giving the buyer every possible
advantage derived from this plan. a

reader of these facts. n4'tf.

. THE question Cf compulsory Cduca-
tion is engaging the attention of the
public, both in an educational and q
moral point of view. In the country as
well as in the cities there are many
children who are growing up in ignOr-
ance and without restraint, making
pests of society and subjects for our
prisons. How this evil Is TO be rene.
died has not been determined. Recent.
ly, a5 one step forward, the names of
the good , Dys and good girls whose
school record shows the greatest attend
uuCe have been published rs an example
for gathers. This is all very well, but
ciilGren who have rich parents, good
roads and but q short distance to travel
to the school house do not encounter
many diilicu ties in showing a record of
attendance. Let the picture bereversed:
publish the names of the parents or
outtGiai whose children fJrsiX months
show the poorest attendance, and the
finger OF public reproacl might eatab
Iish a different schOJl record DJn't
publish the names Of the scholars, be.
cause in very many Instances it is not
their fault. Publish the names OF the
parents, and let us see who they are
and what excuse they have for neglect
ing their duties toward those placed un'
der their charge.

the question of 50 raising the Main
street crossings at Market street as to
do away with the mud hole which it is
now necessary to wade through, in go

As general thing, we read too much,
and think about what we read too lit
tie; the consequence is, that most of the
people we meet know something in
superficial way about almost every
thing,and very little in d thorough way
about anything. Not a tenth part of
what is read is remembered for month
after the book, magazine, or newspaper
is laid aside. Daniel Webster, who
had a rich store of Information on al.
most every subject of general interest,
on being asked how he could remember
so accurately, replied that it had been
his habit for years TO reflect short time
on what he read, and so fix all the facts
and ideas worth remembering in his
mind.

ECCENTRIC legislation is not scarce in
these days but the proposition of the
Temperance convention in Boston, late
ly, is perhaps more than usually out of
the line. This body proposes legisla-
tive enactment, which would virtually
abolish trial by jury. 1t is, that neither
those who sell nor those who drink H.
quor even in moderation shall be eligi.
BILE to serve on juries. OF course the
busy man, or the lazy, would exempt
himself from the duties of a jury by the
absorption of a certain amount of stim
ulating fluid and es juries decreased so
would gin much more abound, An
amendment to this resolution, forbid
ding all judgcs from holding court, who
had ever taken drink, would reduce
legal business to n strictly moral mini.
mum and delight both temperance re-
formers and retail liquor dealers. In
the case of "Gin vs. Jury" the odds
might safely be offered on the plaintiff.
Resolutions
Adopted by the members of the L. S.

WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty
GCd, in his all-wise providence to re-
move from our midst our beloved friend
and class mate, David l. Wcrtman,
therefore'b be it
ReSOlred, That while we meekly sub
nit and humbly bow with resignation
TO His will we must acknowledge that
that His goodness and mercy is past
finding out.
ReSoiaed, That although our brother
is no more with US to teach by his ex-
emplary life, yet we rejoice to know
that "our loss Is his gain" and we have
reason to believe that he is safe in the
bosom of his Father.
ReSOlued, That while we deeply sym
pathize with his mourning friends and
acquaintance, we look to God as the
giVer Of all good for strength and sup
| port in this our sore aillictiOn.
ReSOired, That we accept his God as
| our God that when we shall come tC
cross the Jordan of Death we may say
- did our brother:
"Je-us lover of my soul.
Let me to thy bosom ily."

PROMIssORY Notes We came across
the following in an exchange, which
might be regarded with profit by our
business men. a man drew note
promising to pay one hundred dollars.
He used printed form, but did not
close up the blank devoted to dollars,
and after it passed from his hands and
became negotiable paper, somebody
inserted "and fifty" after the one hun
dred and before the printed word dol
lars making the note read one "hun-
dred and fifty dollars. The note thus
altered got into the hands of an limo.
cent party, who presented it to the
drawer, but payment was refused. Suit
was brought, and the Supreme Court
decided that the maker of the note wos
liable for lis face, because through neg
ligence he had not drawn line between
the written word hundred and the
printed word dollars Any testimony
that the drawer might offer TO establish
the fact that he gave IA note for only
one hundred dollars must go for moth
ing, as "there was nothing on the face
Of the note showing that it had been
altered.o Evidence of an alteration of
the face Of the note would have changed
the case. Let this decision be lesson
to all drawers of promissOry notes. No
one can be too careful in such matters.
| AT the last tenn, the Court intimated
mattec of cnminal practice which it
would be well for officers to notice.
! Where Il special warrant is issued for
the apprehension of offenders, they
must be brought before the justice who
issued the warrant. When the warrant
is general the constable can take his
prisoners before any convenient justice
whom the constable, not the prisoner,
may select, and the prisoner is entitled
to hearing by the justice before whom
the warrant is returned, if he desires it,
or may be bound to appear at court.
Heretofore the prisoner has been &C
customed to select the justice before
whom he would appear, on general
warrant; but that is not legally ailO va
BILE, and it would seem therefore that
the constable more specifically perform,
his duty by returning the prisoner with
the warrant to the justice who Issued
