THE CIVIL DISTRICTS.

We propose the following plan Of
government in the civil districts: LIE
nine commissioners be elected in each
district; three, of public schools, as at
present; three, of roads and bridges ;
and three, of the poor. These will
constitute three distinct boards, of
three members each, who shall meet
as often as may be considered neces-
sary and at stated times. Once year
the three boards will be required to
meet in joint convention and levy a
district tax, for che maintenance of
public schools the construction and
repair of district roads and bridges,
and the support of the poor. The rate
of taxation for each of these purposes
must be determined by the joint con-
fvention. The fund thus created shall
be divided according to agreement be-
tween the three boards, and expended
by each board according to the wants
of each ditrict, and under certain re-
strictions to be established by law.
The joint convention might be en-
powered to elect a district clerk,
whose duty, in addition to other func-
lions of his Office, it would be to col
lect the district taxes, and pay them
over to the respective boards. The
district taxes, according to this plan,
might be levied on the basis of assess
ment for State and county purposes.
The rate of taxation, in each district,
would depend, of course, upon the de-
mands for the construction and repair
of roads and bridges, the maintenance
of public schools and the support of
the poor The commissioners elected
by the people of each district would
be the judges of the urgency and ex-
tent of those demands.
There would be no possibility of
the people being oppressed by this sys-
TEN, because it would be entirely under
the direct control of their chosen pub
lie servants, and indirectly, therefore,
under the control of the people them
selves. To whatever extent, then, the
people might wish to improve their
roads, and bridges and public schools,
or minister to the relief of the poor,
to that extent only would they be
taxed.

DpuTHERIA.--In the summer OF 1851,
this disease prevailed through the Chen

a malignant and fatal epidemic; some Of
many families, and in some instances en-
tire families, were swept away by this
fell destroyer. During this time, DR..
Trasks magnetic ointment came into use
as a remedy, and very soon was recog-
nized as an important help in the treat

was relied upon q. the principal remedy.

Sad Suicide.

On yesterday afternoon, Mr.. David Smith
gentleman of about 20 years of age and
for the past forty years a resident of this
place, committed suicide by hanging him.
self in smoke house attached to his res
idence, on east Washington street.
MIR. Smith was, in times past, promi.
nent butcher as well as prominent polti
cal character of our town. For ten OF
more years he has been regarded as ex.
tremely eccentric, if not slightly dement,
ed, and the commission of this act was not
surprising to those who were aware of his
condition.
The family, we understand, had missed
him but short time, when one of it.
members, son, went in search of him
and found him, life extinct, hanging by
the neck from a rope attached to joist ii

Local Option in Pennsylvania.

The West Chester Je6erseaian says -
According to the returns from the differ
ent counties Of the State that vot d on
the License question at the late election,
the majority For License viii be over
10000, which undoubtedly will be largely
increased by the vote Of Philadelphia il
October next
This overwhelming majority clearly de-
monstrates, not that the people wish to
encourage intemperance and the mnny
evils which follow in its train, but that
they disapprove of the passage of sumptu-
airy or any other laws which unnecessarily
restrict the liberty Of the citizen.
What man shall eat, drink or wear.
n'ver could and never can be controlled
by law, for II is exclusively a matter for
the exercise Of individual judgment and
must always meet with the disapprobation
and condemnation of every free people
Whilst we fully appreciate and most hearth
ly endorse the object which the friends of
temperance have in view, we cannot
but feel that the course they pursue to
attain it is not only an erroneous one but
monstrously injurious to the cause.

A SINGULAR RELIGIOUS QUARREL.--
The village of Bethlehem, in Syria, the
birthplace of Christ, is at this time the
scene of disgneeful quarrel between the
Latin and Greek Patriarchs. In the
quaint old church which is supposed to
stand on the spot where stood the Manager
in which Christ was laid at his birth, the
chief Of the Roman Catholics has hung
new tapestry curtain across the ''Grotto of
the Nativity in the place of the one burnt
in 1871, aud which the Ottoman Govern
ment was to have replaced in order to end
the traditional disputes between the Greek
aud Latin Churches, relative to the pro-
prietary rights in said curtains This ac-
ton of the Latin clergy has called out
protest from the Greek, which the Greek
Patriarchs at Jerusalem has addressed to
the Sublime Porte Both parties have
now agreed to refer the question to the
French Ambassador at Constantiuople.

ELoPENENT-Here is very sad end

field, laborcr on the farm of Mr.. Horatio
Griffith. in Howard county, Md, laid a
nice little plan to run away with his en-
ployer's daughter, who was at boarding
school in Montgomery county. They got
off comfortably together and were making
good time in the direction of Washington,
when Mr.. Griffith, accompanied by three
friends, overlook them just about couple
of hours before they had contemplated be-
ing legally united under the shadow of the
Capitol. The would-be husband was help
ed from his buggy, and soundly thrashed,
each one of the party taking hand in
turn, and after satisfying themselves they
replaced him in his buggy and started him
towards Washington city. Mr. Griffith
then took his daughter home.

SPAIN.-It is now stated that many OF
the reports of disturbances and military
insubordination in Spain, copied from
French and English papers, are grossly
exaggerated. Some of them have no foun-
dation in fact This is part of the scheme
adopted by the Monarchists and Bourbons
to prevent the acknowledgement of the
Republic by foreign powers. They declare
that the present government will be short
lived, and hence oppose the recognition
In the meantime, the fact is that Spain is
no more disturbed than any country will
be that is undergoing radical change of
its political system. The Monarchists and
Communists have linked hands in opposi-
ton to Figueras, CASTELAR, and their patri-
otto associates, and this combination is
distracting the country to certain extent.
But the Republican column is progressing
in steady manner, and the Republic will
be a success if its friends do not divide
upon the details of government-PhHa-
