REMEMBER IT.-Borax is a usefu
article to have about. A halt pound of
il will drive the cockroaches out OF any
house. A large handful of powder to
ten gallons Of water will effect saving
of fifty per cent. in soap. 1t is an ex-
cellent dentri6ce and the best material
for cleansing the scalp.

From the last census reports, it would
seem that Pennsylvania produces five
and one-halt bushels OF wheat to each
inhabitant, which is very nearly her
rate Of consumption. California pro-
duces twenty-nine and three-fourth
bushels; Nevada forty-three bushels;
Wisconsin twenty-four and one-fourth,
and other States in gradually lesseniug
numbers, down to those which do not
produce enough for their own popula-
ton.

POISONED BY EATING POKE RooT.
MIR. Thos Bissell, of Pleasant, informs
us that on Monday night last, his whole
family were all taken violently sick.
Mr.. Bissell thought it might be poison,
but where it came from none of them
could tell. At last Mr.. Bissell and wife
were taken as the others had been, symp-
toms all similar. 1t was at last cypher-
ed out that in grating the horse-radish
for the table, the little boy had remark
ed about soft root in with the rest. 1t
was grated up; and the mystery solved
1t is bit Of poke root, and MIR. Bissell
is certain that it is deadly poison, and
that people as general thing are not
aware Of it. The family recovered, but
underwent intense agony for some hours,
and were left in state o! great weakness.
Look out for poke root.-[Warren

SENSIBLE TALK.-This is sensible
talk from Ro'oeps Reporter: When
hen lays she cackles. 1t is hen-nature.
When a man gets new stock Of goods,
it is human nature for him to crow over
it, When the hen cackles, people know
that she has laid in some fresh stock,
and feels proud of it. When the mer-
chant opens his new styles, and blows
his. trumpet in the newspapers, people
know that he has something on hand
that is worth advertising. Blow your
own trumpet once in a while. 1t won't
hurt you or the trumpet either.

BUYING UP LUMBER.-Meu have
been buying up lumber along our streams
this spring, paying part in advance and
promising the remainder on delivery.
This is certainly favorable indication
of an abundant harvest for our lumber
men and would seem to evince that
money matters are destined, within few
months, to take change for the better.
For two or three years back numbering
has been an up hill business, but we
sincerely hope that the indication of
good price and short time, will prove
true.

IT is stated that short distance
from Kane, Mexican county, Pa, there
are three earthworks or forts, each
from two to four feet high, and about
one mile apart. They resemble each
other, being all of true circle and
about fifty PAGES across the centre, and
are evidently of great age, as large trees
have grown up their embankments.
One contains from eight to ten small

EASTER SUNDAY.-Next Su nday
April 18th, is Easter Day, or Easter
Sunday. 1t is the second day after
Good Friday and the last day of the
Lenten season. The old custom of col
oring and staining eggs is generally OBJ
served and often remembered with
pleasant recollections.
According to the American Cyclope-
Gia, "Easter is the festival of the resur-
rection Of our Lord, or the Christian
passover. The English nance Easter
and the German Ostern have been sup
posed by some writers to be derived
from the name Of the feast of the Teu-
tonic goddess Ostera (the goddess of
Spring. which was celebrated by the
ancient Sazons in the spring, and for
which the early missionaries substituted
the Christian festival. According 10
Adelung, both the English and German
words are derived from the old Saxon
word Oster, oStend, which signifies rising,
because nature rises anew in the spring.
The ancient churches adopted the rule
which makes Easter day to be always
the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens on or next after March
2lst; and if the full moon happens on
a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday
after by this arrangement Easter may
come as early as March 22d, or as late
as April 25th, ,"-[Warren Mail.

& Good Han Gone.

Died, at lIardyville, A. T., on
Monday, 9th uItimo, Mr.. SAMCEL
TODD. Ho WAS an old resident
of this Territory, and universally
known throughout the Pacific
Coast. His faults were few, his
virtues many. Ever alive to the
necessities Of men, he aided them
Unostentati0usly, with liberality
peculiarly his own. 1t is sad TO
think that we shall never more
Oh earth grasp the hardy palm
Of our honAs friend, or hear the
CHEEKY tones Of his voice again.
But we are c0nsoled with the
thought that his immortal part
has mounted the enpyrean to
holier spheres, and that while the
casket N .uidcra 10 its original
element, his spirit will live
with the nozzle and good Of all
lands ana ages that have burst
their chFysali,les and expanded
ints Heaven.

The Price O. Type.

Messrs. Geo. P. RoweIl & Co.
announce that they have at their
warehouse in New York an as
sortment of type from one Of the
most celebrated fOundries in the
world, that Of Higgins, London,
England, which they sell at 20
per cent. discount from the Am.
erican scale, when ordered in
fonts of 100 pounds and upwards.
They also offer 10 import large
fonts on special orders at greater
discount from the American scale,
and profess to be able TO fill the
largest order in eight weeks from
date of its receipt in New York.
They supply sorts i'll large or
small quantities from their stock
on hand in New York at the Am
erican scale rate. They assert
that if the present duty on type
shall be removed, the price Of
the article, both of home and
foreign manufacture will immedia-
tely fall 10 per cent. below the
present scale. Messrs. Geo, p.
Rowell & co. are known as con-
Quoting the largest advertising
business ever secured by one
house, and are also extensive
dealers in printing material. They
are compelled to import foreign
goods because American founders,
governed by a close corporation
or ring. keep the price vastly too
high, and at the same time make
it an exception to every other
species of merchandise by recOg-
niSzing no wholesale price; the
same amount per pound being
charged to the purchaser Of five
thousand pounds as wotild be paid
by him who wants but fifty.

Military Telegraph Bill Passed.

By a dispatch from Washing
ton, under date of March LIST, we
are informed that the Military
Telegraph Bill has passed author
izing the construction by Govern
ment Of a line, to commence at
San Diego, thence direct to Fort
Yuma, the distributing AMI conse-
quently principal Post; thence via
Maricopa Wells to Prescott, Tue
son, within reach OF other posts in
Arizona Territory. That the Gov
eminent will complete this line
at the earliest possible moment
there is not a doubt. The passage
Of the bill as originally presented,
is sufficient evidence of that fact.
In addition, through the 'inStru-
mentality Of orr Delegate in Con-
gress, Hon. R. G.. Mccormick, an
appropriation of $50, goo was voted
for the purchase ofpoles and wires
for said line.

driven from our determination.
We will enlarge as soon as the
necessary material shall arrive.
