STATEMENT OF MRS. TILTON.

To pick up anew the sorrows of the
last ten years, the stings and pains I had
daily schooled myself to bury and for
give, makes this imperative duty, as
called forth by the malicious statement
OF my husband, the saddest act of my
life. Besides, my thought of following
the Master contradicts this act of my
pen, and a sense of the perTersion of my
life faith almost compels me to stand
aside until God himself delivers; yeti see
IN this wanton act an urgent call and

PROF. ADLER, of the Cornell University,
cannot see what the name of the shad
derived from, unless from the German
word schade, signifying something like
our English word scathe"-to iniure or
intfict loss. The shad has been described
contemptueusly as the poor mans fish
and from this association of it with pow
erty the Professor thinks that its name
may have come.

MEDICAL science in Holland claims to
have discovered yet another remedial
power of that benefcent substance,
quinine. German physicians, who have
used it for several years in their practice,
say that quinine is a sovereign cure of
smallpox, if administered in a pure state
and at an early stage Of the disease. 1t
acts as prompt antidote to the poison
of the dread malady, but must be given
in large doses.

A New ORLEANS young woman who
writes pieces for the papers says that
occasionally woman meets man to
whom she says: "On the barren shores
of Time, o my souls kinsman, | have
found in thee my pearl of great price,
and there is nothing more precious out

THE other day young lady in Phila-
delphia became so much embarrassed by
proposal from her lover that, in her
agitation, she swallowed a needle.
Young men cannot be too cautious about
such things They should never make
such propositions to girls until they have
thoroughly examined their mouths to see
whether they have any needles in them or

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepayment on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish.
ed. We have. therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses Of collection incident to the credit sys.
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage
The change determined upon will, therefore
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
or. The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name sciU be entered unlesS the subscrip'
ton is paid for IN advance.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails
with statement Of his account. Many have
responded with remittsnces dscharging their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do SO without
further delay, as after the first of January, 1873,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those VINO have not paid in advance. The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal
ances due and make an advance payment is am

will be dropped.
