Communicated.
To Ye Clown Fathers" Of ye Whole
some and G0odly Town Of Elkton.

Being a citizen of the town and one that
has always paid his tax, wish to offer
few suggestions to the new Board of Town
Commissioners:
Water will run in q ditch feet deep
when tho bottom Of the ditch has an incli-
nation of six or eight degrees, and conse-
quently it is not absolutely necessary to
pay man for scraping out the ditch; with
out it is your intention to have the water
wash gully that you or your successors
may have chance to pay for filling up
gully again.
l would further suggest that inasmuch
as the season is close at hand, when former
boards in years past begun the grubbing
process for the cultivation of ,ceeds, and mas
much as that process is laborious, op-
pressiye and tiresome. that you gentlemen
procure one of Jacobs hand plows, and if
the ground should be hard to work along
the lanes, by-paths and out of-the-way
hooks and corners, that you authorize the
baiiff to contiscate, or impress stumpy-
tailed mute that for some time past, has
been grazing along High street, hitch the
mule to the hand-plow and let him propel
it. And it would, humbly suggest, be
great improvement on the way things have
heretofore been managed, and at the same
time show your appreciation of the inven-
tive ingenuity of the patentee, if you
would procure for the use of the bailff the
revolving harrow that has been standing
against the Academy fence for some time
(the harrow is said to be failure, but so
much the better, it will illustrate the enter
prise and thrift of the town. Jacob,
venture to say, will be glad to part with
it; and the bailiff can propel it by the aid
of the mule, and if the bailiff should have
mechanical turn of mind he may posi-
bly, discover the cause of the failure in the
harrow and remedy the defect, obtain a
patent for the improvement, and make a
fortune.
| would like to state for the benefit of
the bailitf that, though the utensil is called
a revolving harrow it somehow refuses to
revolve, and is but little better than COM
mon drag harrow.
1t is believed that this mothed of Guilt
waiting weeds, is better-I know it is more
scientiic-than that usually pursued in
this town. l commend it to your serious
attention, let me persuade you to try it,
and if you do, pledge myself to give you
IT in my poaoer-some equally valuable |
about the collection of the !
town tax and many other things OF very
great Importance.

We noticed field of wheat belongin
to J. ]. Abrahams, fully shot, more than
week ago. 1t appears that harvest is
rapidly approaching, Notwithstanding the
backwardness of the weather. Many
favorable reports are made respecting
wheat, but some doubt is expressed re-
garding the supposed favorable prospect
for grass. A party driving from this place
to the Buck" in Lancaster county, a
day OF two since, reports splendid prospect
for both these crops in that vicinity. He
says there is no sorrel there and attributes
it TO the frequent and liberal use of lime.
Sorrel has become terrible nuisance in
this county and if lime will kill it why not
use it more freelys

No Pill in the world ever had anything
like the circulation of AYERS PILLS.
Throughout these States Mexico, and the
Central American republic, down the slopes
of the Andes, and across the pampas of
South America, in negro villages, amid the
fervid wilds of Africa, throughout the
jungles of India, and the steppes of interi-
or Asia, over the continent Of Australia,
and the islands of the Pacific, these PILLS
are known and everywhere used as family
remedies for diseases. With distant ma
tons, their wonderful cures attract more
attention than they do at home; for the
sentiment of wonder takes far deeper
hold on their minds than the results OF a
higher scientific skill with us. The amount
consumed require seventy-five thousand
doses day to supply it. An inspection
of the mandatory showed Us how this
enormous demand is made and sustained.
Added to the oonsummate skill of their
composition, is an extreme care in their
manufacture, which at once secures the
most perfect material and their most ac-
curate combination. The consequence is
power and certainty in controlling disease
which other remedies never attained.

ANTHROPOLOGY.

MIR. EDIToR.-"R has explained one
thing to us. Until his last letter appeared
we could but wonder why person living
at this day, could give vent to such absurd
ideas as he has advanced. His last letter,
however, explains the matter, for he in
forms us that his training in the sciences
is not oery recent; in other words is quite
ancient.
"R" is indeed behind the age-truly he
must have been trained Sin the days of
old lang syne, that remote period when
men spun 6ombastic nothings from their
heads without regard to fact. Perhaps
like Rip Van Wrinkle docs "R" stand for
Rip OR" has just reused up from long,
long slumber and imagines himself to be
in another generation.
His memory must be failing him; for,
certainly, one whose ideas stand so far
back toward the Adamic age, ought to
have written better by his memory of Adam
and our progenetors, than OR" has done.
| notice that he objects to my authorities
though quoted the best now living-and
that he mentions not single one-relying,
we suppose, on his memory. All have to
say is that l will stake my authorities
against his memory-howevcr ancient-any
day.
ar" must widen his ideas as to what a
discussion on Anthropology consists Of
A proper treatment of the subject includes
a view Of it taken from the stand point of
every SCIENCE now known to man. Amy
other method is narrow, weak and short
sighted, and be who enters the contest
without such coordination of the sciences
at his command is sure to make himself an
object of ridicule, after his first puny Of
fort. The latest results in every science
from Theology that treats of God, the
cause of mans origination, to the study of
the smallest particles of unorganized mat
ter, must be brought in-apG more especial
ly a {: recent training in Geography, His
tory, &c." which "R" confesses he has
article sustaining him in the con-
fession.
When he hears Of any more continents
being "hove up" the world would be
glad to learn from him. Perhaps the rea-
son why "R " has succeeded so badly with
the origin of s?GE is, because he has been
of late giving more attention to the study
of the gentler ser; and as he failed so COM
pletely on the other subject, we suggest
that he write us an article on the origin of
Eve. G. A. 3.

LOCAL OPTIoN.-The great advantages
of the temperance rule under the "lecal
option law have been very apparent in
Chester county, SINCE the law went into
effect ON the first of April. The Jail at
West Chester has fewer occupants now
than ever, while there is a remarkable
freedom from fights and brawls in that and
all other towns of the county.
In our own Borough of Oxford drunk
ell man is rare sight and, to our kpewl-
edge, not one has been seen on our streets
since the temperance reign began. Men
who formerly loafed away their time around
the taverns and spent their scanty earnings
at the bar, are no moro seen in their old
haunts but may be- found, if searched for
at some honorable employment. The fear
of some and the cry of others that if the
license was denied the hotels that the gem
eral business of the town would suffer,
grass would grow in Cur streets, cur houses
deserted, ETC., has been proven, as we
knew it was then, the SIMPLEST bosh No
business has suffered except las it should
everywhere, instead of its victims, the
liquor traffic. Indeed, considering the gen
eral dizziness Of the times, all business is
now in tlourishing condition, and in some
respeots far ahead of tho last lew years.
The statement that more liquor would DO
drunk, being sold clandestinely, jagged and
struggled into the community, than while
it was sold with legal sanction, has also
proven utter foolishness.
Such has been our experience under the
temperance rule. aud we know that We ex-
press the sentiments of nine-tenths of the
citizens of this community, at least, when
we hope that the temperance law may long
remain in fell force and virtue.
