II appears that one fourth of the five

pectcd to furnish items in the way of

ployed with these dangerous machines
should ever be careful.
The most Unhappy Person in the
world is the Dyspeptic. Everything
looks dark and gloomy he feels "out
Of sorts" with himself and everybody
else. Life is burded to him. This can
all be changed by taking Peruvian Sy-

years standing have been cured by it.

CUT THIS OUT.--Although the season
for puttingup fruit for winter consump-
fion is past- and such advice as the
following will be of no use to our rea-
ders This summer, we would suggest to
our lady readers the propriety of cut
ting out and putting into scrap book
for the purpose, Few people know"
says an exchange, "and thousands do
not know" (logical), that by setting
glass fruit jar on folded towel thor
oughly soaked n'cold water, the fruit
can be poured in boiling hot with no
psore danger of breaking the jar than
II i were tin can"
14rPcople who think they can fur
nisl others with liquor with impunity
hsSe probably not read the following
law ofthis St.te:
"Any person furnishing intoxicating
drinks to any other person, in viola-
tion of any existing law, or the provis-
ions OF this act, shall be held d.civilly re-
sponsibly for every injury to person or
property in consequence of such fur
nishing and any one aggrieved may
recover full damages against such per-
son so furnishing, by action on the
case, instituted in any court having
jurisdiction of such form Of this Com
monwealth."
LOOK OUT FOR HiM.-One of our ex
changes of a recent date, contains the
following: A sharper is travelling
through some parts of the interior du-
ping the honest farmers.-He passes
himself off as United States detect
i've, has his warrants, charges his man
with having passed counterfeit money,
arrests him on the bogus warrant, and
If the party resists, he displeys a pair
of hand cuffs, and threatens to put
them on if the party refuses to gowith
him. After he has succeeded in
frightening the party, he proposes to
compromise for certain sum and let
him go.
INCREASE OF BIRDs.--An exchange
says that the birds are more numerous
this year than they have been for sew
eral years, attributes it TO the wise laws
passed by the legislature against their
wanton destruction.-This is true, and
we hope every person who is found
killing an insectiverous bird will be
fined to the full amount designated by
A. l. -, g., h<a
friends. 1t is fact that before their
wanton destruction commenced fruit
was not attacked by the apple worms,
curculio, and the many other destruc-
tive insects we hear SO much about.
Just in proportion rs the birds increase
in number insects decrease, and we
prefer the one to the other "by long
shot"
How TO PRESERVE DoMEsTIc Re-
EIPEs.---There is astime in the experi-
ence Of every person when the knowl-
edge of domestic remedies for the relief
of many Of the complaints towhich hu-
man flesh is heir has proved a blessing
and perhaps saved valuable life. Every
housekeeper should procure an old ac-
count book or something Of the sort,
and make Of it scrap book for the !
purpose of preserving medical receipts |
as they are from time to time publish
cd in the press of the country. In this
way q valuable collection of useful in
formation may be secured, and the re-
ceipes, If properly classified, can be re-
ferred TO Mt q moments notice. The
recipes published in single newspa-
paper in year, If thus preserved, |
would alone be worth the subscription
price Of the paper.
