Cheap Hams and Reef!

A couple OF young men came into town on
last Friday, from Philadelphia, stating that
they represented house in said city, by the
name Of j. Vanderslice, Nos pa and 2l7
Front street They stated that their house
had large consignment of ham and dried
beef just previous to the panic, which COM
PEELED them to sell off their stock at reduced
rates in order to meet the demands against
their house. Accordingly they were Offering
their stock of ham at 10 cents and their
smoked beef at y cents per pound The
price being so much below the regular
market price of a good article the most of
our wideawake provision dealers refused to
purchase, fearing that there must be some
thing wrong with the beef and ham, not
withstandiug it appeared on examination to
be all right But we regret to learn that our
friends, Wagner & Rhodes, S. Ovcrfeld, j.
II. Conner, Stroud s. Andre, of this borough,
and Thomas Stemples, Of East Stroudsburg,
were deceived by their plausible statements
and purchased, some OF them, ham, and dried
beef, to an extent which exceeds the de-
nands of the market to-day.
We purchased one ham at Is cents per
pound. Of one Of the above named parties,
and after eating Of it at three meals con-
cludcd that when we needed physic we
would prefer having it in some other shape
than smoked ham.
It would appear that said ham and beef
had been Improperly cured and had in con-
sequence become tainted, but by being
dipped in a solution of carbolic acid, and
probably chloride of lime, and perhaps
some other disinfectants, and wrapped in
paper, the taint was entirely hid, so that no
ordinary test would reveal it, but in day
or two after being unwrapped and cut open,
the faint very clearly manifested itself We
doubt not that this cheap ham and beef can
be purchased to-day considerably below cost

Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Lydia Maria Child
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Louisa NJ. Al
colt and others. Eighty,six delegates
were present. representing organized so
cieties in fourteen States and Territories.

Wyoming and Utah, that it was under
discussion last winter, in 2l State Legis
atures. and received majority vote in
those of Maine, Iowa and Michigan.
Written reports were read from II States

for the ensuing year Lucy Stone, Chair
man Executive Committee. Among the
Vice Presidents at Large are Vice Presi
dent Henry Wilson, Hon. George Wm
Curtis, Senator Sargeant, VIM. Lloyd
Garrison and Col. Higgnson. The Res
olutions adopted are as follows.
Resolced. That the primary aim of the
American Woman Suffrage Association is
to secure the ballot for woman while 1t
includes, 10 its general aim, the establish
mcnt Of her equality Of rights in all direc
tions
ReSOlued, That one half of the adult
population of the United States who are
legally entitled to hold property, who are
assessed for taxes and punishable for
crime, and whose interest iu the Com
monweath is in no respect less than that
Of the other half, should not be deprived
of an equal voice in the government
ResOtced, That a government of the
people must be government composed
equally of men and women, inasmuch as
the equal CO operation Of the sexes is es
seutiaI alike to happy home, refined
society, Christian church and Repub

ResolOed, That our present political
system is not fairly representative, even
Of men, being largely controlled in the
primary meetings by rings of trading
politicians intent on private gain; that
political reform must enlist a more gen

the management of public business and
that this would be greatly promoted by
combining the social sympathy aud co
operation of women in the primary meet
ings, at the polls, and in the halls of lie
gislaton.
Resoi0ed. That we advise the friends
of Woman Suffrage in every locality to
promote the Movement morally and poll
tically, by organizing local societies, for
circulating tracts aud newspapers, for
holding public meetings, and especially
for helping to elect the friends of Suffrase
and to defeat its enemies.
Resol0ed, That the Woman Suffrage
Movement, like every other reform of the
Age, laments the loss and honors the me
mory of its most powerful advocate, John
Stuart Mill.

ss- THE yellow fever continues to rage
with great malignity at Memphis, Tennessee.
The average death rate is 25 per day. Many
of the people have fed from the city, and
the population is reduced from $4,000 to
10000 Great privation exists, but large
sums of money have been collected and
forwarded to relieve it. The heavy frosts
have not stopped the disease. At Shreve
port it seems to be abating, possibly for
want of material. The fever also prevails
at Little Rock, Arkansas, Montgomery,
Alabama and Bainbridge, Georgia, and fears
are felt that it may become general through
the South.

Some provision should be made for the
comfort of the young men who go to church
on Sabbath evening, and wait outside until
services are over to escort their girls home.
These young men are generally of the more

worn, and who feel delicacy in exposing
them to the strong light Of the street lamps
The evenings, furthermore are becoming
cool, which adds to the distress of such poor
