The Proper Clothing for winter.

The London Sanitary Record of Dec.
26 has the following: 'sThe extreme and
continued severity of the weather has
called public attention to the best means
of combating the fatal influence exercised
by the lowness of the temperature on the
vital powers of the young, the feeble, and
the aged. Many suggestions have been
made for the purpose of keeping up the
amount of vital heat necessary to counter
act the depressing action of the extreme
cold, of which none excel, If they equal,
the sensible advice contained in Mr..
Rawlinson's letters, lately published in
the Times. In these communications he
advocates the employment of warm cloth
ing, SO as TO economic the vital heat
generated in the body, and to prevent its
radiation. He points out the inutility of
warming rooms to an excessive degree,
and at the same time wearing thin cloth
ing, since vital heat is generated in the
body itself, not absorbed from the out
side. It therefore becomes q question
what material is best adapted to retain
the heat, and to prevent its radiation to
the outer air. Experiments conducted
by DIR. Krieger tend to show that flannel
and wooden materials answer this purpose
more fully than any other manufactured
materials. The same series of expert
ments also demonstrate that loose-fitting
&SsAA VCAAA W AS5CP 0H Wt1E411OT
than tight-fitting ones. The reason of
this Is that our clothing not only renders
the air still around us, but it also regu-
iates its temperature by the heat that
leaves our bodies. We heat our gar
ments, and they continually heat the air
passing through the meshes and pores of
the skin. We do not feel the loss of heat
which our clothing undergoes as we
should if the air were to strike our sur
face without having been previously pre-
pared by our dress the differences of
temperature balance themselves within
the material we are clothed in, and of
which the ends of our cutaneous nerves
form no part. Inside our dress our
temperature averages about 75. 81 degrees
Fahrenheit, which is best kept in by
rough, loose wooden textures, while gar
ments of silk and linen should be avoid
ed. All persons, old or young, feeble or
strong, who value the preservation of
their health or their lives, should. as far
as possible, in inclement weather, clothe
themselves in hannels, WOODEN, and fur
garments, eschewing silk and the lighter
materials until the advent of a more
favorable season.

ScHENcK's SEA WEED ToNIC.-Iu the atmosphere

lethargy produced by the heat takes away the de
sire for wholesome food and frequent prespirations
reduce bocily ienergy, particularly those suffering
from the effects Of debilitating diseases In order
to keep a narural healthful activity Of the system
we must resort to artificial means. For this pur
pose Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A
few doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is
invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubt
sd whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by
the drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic fn its nature is to-
tally different from such d:ugs. 1t contains no cor
rosive minerals aclds in fact it assists the regu-
lar operations Of nature, and supplies her decien-
cies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles
the gastric juice that 1t is almos identical with that
uid' The gastric juice lie the naturl solvent which,
n healthy condition of the body, causes the food
to be digested and when this juice is not excreted
in suficient quantities, indigestion, with all its
distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty Of the gastric juice when
the latter is deficient. Schencks Sea Weed Tonic

Under cry Of Republican corruption, ex-

quite as serious nature, some Of which will
be found in an extract from that paper in the

cut down the salaries of its officers, but the
Democratic House has made no effort thus
far to retrench. Added to this is the effort of

The Nashua, New Hampshire, Patriot,
published the sad story of the fate of two
New England college boys who ventured their
fortunes in what the Liberal journals call the
peaceful South, and which they tell us is a
country submitting with unequalled modera-
ton to the iron rule of tyrannical Govern
ment. One became judge in New Orleans,
and was assassnated by the White League to
whom he had given oifense by some of his
judicial decisions His friend went there to
investigate the case, offered 81, 900 for the
arrest and conviction Of the assassins, and was
himself murdered in less than week, and his
body flung into the highway. No inquiry or
punishment followed these atrocious deeds
These two educated young men were of Just
the class of persons which the South wants to
build her up, and which the Democratic
journals tell us she invites. She welcomes,
however, with bloody hands to hospitable
graves. In its essential features their
melancholy story strongly resembles the case
Of tho Zook brothers from Lancaster county,
murdered at Vicksburg, excepting that the
gentleman who went down to arrest the
mnrderers, and did it, was fortune enough to
escape with his life.

MURDER IN BURLINGTON CoUNTY.-A
murder is reported in Pemberton, Burlington
county. Joseph Reed was poking fire when
his son-in-law, named Malsberry, entered the
room, approached from the rear, and play
fully began rubbing the old man ears, which
60 irritated him that he struck at his son-in-
law with the poker, over his shoulder The
point of the iron bar hit Malsberry upon the
temple, and SO stupefied him that he did not
speak again. He walked across the street to
his fathers house, where he fingered until
Sunday morning, when he died. He was
about thirty years of age, produce dealer,
and was widely known and respected. The
result of the fray has had painful effect up
on the aged parent, and he and the entire
family are nearly wild with grief. Reed sur
rendered himself to the authorities Monday.

MORE IsrPUDENT sTILL.

We referred week before last to a bin which
speeding the religious training Of the inmates
OF the REFORM Schools of this State, and de-
nominated it :. An Impudent Demand. .
If that bill was iinpudent, what should be
said Of the bill referred to below We copy
from the Trerfton State Gazette -
''The bill now pending in the House of
Assembly to incorporate 1.-The New Jersey
Catholic Protectory is designed to reach the
same result, in another and n4re complete
manner, rs the bill of last Winter allowing
Catholic priests to give separate religious in
struction to Catholic children in the Reform
School In brief, it provides for q Catholic
Reform School, to be founded and supported
by the State, and to be entirely under Catho-
lie management. The proposition is most
preposterous, and evinces confidence in
their ability to shape the policy Of our State
government on the part Of the Catholics,
which is really amazing. The establishment
and support by the State Of q purely
sectarian Institution is more than the Presby
terians, or Methodists, OF Baptists, or any
other Protestant denomination has asked for.
1t seems strange that the Catholics should ask
for such special privileges. 1t is opposed not
only to the spirit of our government, but to
the emphatic letter of the State Constitution.
That instrument provides that /" There shall
be no establishment of one religious sect, in
preference to another.
But there is special provision of the bill
more obnoxious even than its general pur-
pose. Section eight provides
That the said board of trustees may take
and receive into their care first, children un-
der the age of eighteen years who, by consent
i'll writing of their parents or guardians, may
be entrusted to them for protection or refor-
nation second, children between the ages of
and IL years, who may be committed to
the said corporation as idle, truant, vicious
homeless or delinquent children, by order of
any judge or magistrate in the State of New
Jersey, empowered by law to make such COM
nitment thtsd, children of the like ago who
may DO transferred to,its charge by competent
authority frpns any other asylum or reforma-
tory in the. State.
so that, any Justice of The peace in the
State might commit to the care and spiritual
guidance of this q Catholic Protectory" any
child over the age Of eight years and unde,
is, whom he in his wisdom and aiscernment,
might decide to be idle or "truant" or
vicious" or :. homeless " or delinquent .
We submit that this gives wide and extra
ordinary latitude to the discretion Of our
worthy magistrates throughout the State. 1t
would enable Catholic Justices Of the Peace
to fill up their Protectory very speedily with
the "truant youngsters who throng every
city in the State. In time these youths
might all be pat through the Protectory, and
transformed into good Catholics.
The bill.has aroused very strong opposition
throughout the State, both among Democrats
and Republicans. We do not remember when
the press Of the State has been so unanimous
and SO emphatic in its opposition to a
measure. OF course the illwillneyer pass

A conflict that promises TO have serious re-
suits has broken out between the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads. Itbe-
gan by'a coihplasnt,on the part of President
Garrettsof the Baltimore and Ohio, that the
Saratoga agreement as to charges for West
ern freight and passengers had been violated
by the Pennsylvania ard other roads, to the
injury Of his line. This was answered In an
Indignant manner by Col Scott, and in day
or two the companies began active hostilities
against each other The Pennsylvania refuse
to take the Washington trains of the Balti-
more and Ohio Company over its tracks be-
tween Philadelphia and New York, and all
passengers were thus compelled to take tile
rival Baltimore and Potomac route, which is
managed by Col. Scott Mr. Garrett retaIi-
ated by putting down the passenger fares to
the West, making bis rates to Cincinnati $12,
st. Louis SIT, Chicago Sl2, &c.--a reduction
of about forty per cent. The Pennsylvania
at once made the same reduction. There is
now no exchange of passengers or recognition
of tickets between the two companies, and
the Baltimore people propose to meet the diff
ticulty by a daily line of steamers between
their city and New York, The Philadelphia
Wilnin. ton and Baltimore Company, owning
the only connecting line below Philadelphia,
finds itself in an awkward position, but just
now appears to be at the disposal of Col
Scott The Baltimore and Ohio is determin-
ed to force through another avenue from Bal
timore to New York. and this fact may have
an important bearing on some Of the incom-
plete railroad projects now pending.

The most important testimony Tins far pros
duce in the Beecher trial was that given by
Mrs. Moulton, Friday. This lady swcre that
both Beecher and Mrs Tiltcn had admitted
the main charge to her, that the former had
announced his intention of committing
suicide, and that he had expressed determi-
nation to eight it through She also re-
lated conversations with Mrs. Tilton, at which
the latter said that If she were called before
the church, she would sacrifice her husband,
and deny everything. She excused Mr..
Beecher, and assumed the blame herself,
while Mr.. Beecher insisted that it was all his
fault. On behalf of the defence Mr.. Evarts
drew from the witness the admission that she
had visited the Woodruff, and received visits
from her also, that she had on one occasion
kissed Mr.. Beecher. After hearing the testi-
mony the defendant said that the foundation
of the testimony of Mrs. Moulton was truth,
but that in effect it was a lie.

The local elections held in Pennsylvania last
week resulted in way that is very satsfac-
tory to Republicans. The clear average ma
jority in Philadelphia for magistrates was ov-
er ~, 900, on very light vote, which is con-
siderably better than it was on much larger
vote last November In the cities of Lancas-
ter, Reading and Harrisburg, which are fire.
quently ifnot mostly Democratic, the Repub-
licans elected their municipal officers by conn
paratively large majorties. The same was
tho case In number of other towns. On the
whole it would appear that the Republican
organization is better and stronger than it was
few months ago Many of its members
recognize now, much more clearly than they
did then, the great national disasters that
would result from complete Democratic as
cendancy in the nation They see that such
an event would place the federal government
practically in the hands of the men who in
itiated and led the great rebellion, aud for
this they are not quite prepared. II Congress
aud our public authorities generally will act
with good sense and refrain from political
follies.dnring the next few months, the cleo
tion results of 1876 will be very different from
those of 18H.-Bucks CO. Inteuigencer.
