SOmr Stomach.

If the food taken into the stomach is not digested
1t decomposes. In the latter case pungent gas is
developed which causes sour eructation, else the
stomach itself secrctes an acid, which, rising up
ward at intervals, stings the outlet sharply These
extremely dsagreeable sensations are attributable
TO Impaired digestion. To get rid of them, or pre-
vent their recurrence, It is only necessary to tone
and regulate the gastric organs with HOstetters

corrective with the idea that the unpleasant symp-
that being the case, they almost invariably culml-
nate, II neglected, In chronic dyspepsia, with its
concomitants of gnawing In the stomach dizzl-
ness, D rverted vision, headache and sleep cssness

wiser TO anticipate their arrival with one or two
doses OF that sure preventive of indigestion and
sirengthener of the alimentary organs.

A Desperate Desire to Retain Control
OF the Levy Court.

The Advertiser, more earnest in its Democratic
effort than at some other times, declares that
"the importance Of electing our Levy Court
Commissioners is such that at all hazards ii must
be done" We italicise the significant and singu-
lar words with which the sentence ends. The
Levy Court must be controlled sat all hazards"
Why? Why must all be risked that that be
saved ? Why must the election of all other can.
ddates, success in all other directions, be haz
arded for this 2
1t is not now easy to answer those questions
fully yet we can reply to them partially, at least
Tho Levy Court is and has been, since in 1870, its
majority became Democratic, powerful engine
in the hands of that party for political work, in
the manipulation of the assessments. The in
dctments found against several of ITS
members, and the partisan hugger-muggering
which was permitted by it to be committed in and
about its jurisdiction. are circumstances only a
little more than two years old, and cannot yet
be forgotten. They indicate what the Levy
Court can do when it chooses, and what it is
doubtless expected to do when it is to be controll-
ed sat all hazards"
Again, it is found that many Republicans have
been left off the assessment, Notwithstanding
the careful canvass made, and the systematic
effort to have all who were entitled to be ASSESS
ed placed on the roll. We have heard of names
which we personally know were broughtinto the
Levy Court, at its session last Spring. and which
were put on the assessment by vote, in
the formal manner prescribed by
law but which are not to be found on the tas
duplicates furnished to the Collectors. To VIVA
extent this il the case will be presently devel
oped, but the instances known probably indicat
larger number not known, and this shows villa
Levy Court can do, tho possession of which il
worth ''a hazards"
The Republicans of New Castle have an excel
lent local ticket, from head to foot, Levy Cour
included. There is not bad or unfit man on it
and it has some names Of exceptional strength
1t must be elected, and elected by round ma
jority. If it is worth 30 much to the Democrat
to have the Sherifs office under the direction o
Mr. Herbert, and the Levy Court "bossed" b,
exCollector Given, that "all hazards" are to b,
taken in that behalf, then it is worth the bost
and most earnest efforts of Republicans to defeat
such hazardous and desperate effort of their OPP

1t is not to be wondered at, therefore, that
there should be so comparatively little domestic
felicity in France, an assertion in which know
run counter to the author of " French Home
Life" that most charming series of essays
which has ever been published on the subject of
French society. Yet while hesitate oven to ex-
press my own opinion in opposition to the far Wild
or experience OF that accomplished writer, can
only say that my view of the question is the one
taken by all the leading novelists and dramat-
lists OF France. If home-life there be really SO
pure and perfect as that writer asserts it to be,
then Dumas, About Sandeau, Feuillot Sardou
and the rest, are shameless slanderers of their
countrywomen. And, 10 far III my own expert
ence goes, can safely venture to DECLARE for
instance, that have never seen any examples
among French spouses of middle age of that
tender and devoted affection, that l0Uer-lOue, to
coin compound word, which one 30 often sees
existing i'll America between married couples
OF many years standing. Tho very epithet
by which French wife calls her husband
"My friend" (lnon dnli'O }, il in itself n proof of
the formal nature OF the tic existing between
them. 1t il hard for an American to imagine
marriage without w0oing-marriage without the
delicious preliminaries of tete-d-tele drives and
long walks, and delightful escortings to and fro,
and stolen kisses, and endless plannlngs and
castle-buildings, INDUCED in during long conf
dental chats which fill up the evenings Of rec
ognized engagement. We have much, socially
speaking, to learn as n nation-our social system
is very defective-but long may it be before we
engraft upon it the pernicious and demoralizing
institution Of the French marriage

How TO Estimate the Profits of a
Farm.

Tho farmer lives in his own house. The use
of the house, which he does not pay for is as
much part of his income as the money which
salaried man pays for rent is of his, and should
be counted az such an estimate on the profit Of
the farm and consumed on the farmers table,
including the vegetables from the garden, the
eggs and milk used in cooking, are as much q
part of his income az the money paid for such
things out of his salary is Of the salared man.
If farmer gives his wife and children a pleasant
ride to town, using his own horse aud wagon
the value of their use is part of his income from
the fam, as truly AZ the money the other man
pays out of his salary for carriage hire is of his
Tho correct rule for estimating the income
from farm is substantially this Give credit for
every article produced, used or expendedin any
way whatever, no matter how small, in value, IA
we'll AZ for cash received for products sold, and
for increase in the value of farm property, and
charge against the farm for interest on capital
invested, and for all expenditures The farmer
that will do this from year to year will not 30
much feel like complaining of the Improbable
ness of farming al compared with other pur-
suits. The fact il that not one in II hundred
farmers take into consideration tho luxury and
comforts of fresh eggs, butter mllks, frita, etc,
that they would have to pay high prices for if
they lived in towns, or do without them.

Fire in Chester County.

DESTRUCTION OF LARGE BARN AND CONTENTS
AN INcENDIARY's WORK.
Thursday night about midnight, says the West
Chester Ne,os, the large stone barn of Mr.. Dam
iel Caslin. in Wost Goshen township, on what il
known 40 the old Hopes Property, was burned
to the ground, together with four valuable hors-
es, all the crops of the past season,
and complete collection of farm
machinery. The dwelling was saved
by free application OF water in buckets.
At one time the house appeared in such danger
to lead to the removal of all the contents into
an ad joining field One of the horses by some
means found his way from the stable, but upon
reaching the adjoining yard fell dead from sulfo-
cation. Only Thursday Mr.. Caslin had just re-
ceived 500 bushels Of potatoes which with the wa
gon were put into the barn, to but increase the
loss, which il variously estimated at from seven
TO ten thousand dollars, and ON which there is
not farthing's worth of insurance. tbs stated
that the hay stored in the building was probably
as great in quantity as lis contained in any one
barn in Chester county, and all the other crops
were proprotonatey large The origin of the
fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendary.
