''DoN'T KISS THE BABY. ''-Tbis adiu-
ration comes from the Scientific Ameri-
can. The danger it finds in kissing babies
is, that diphtheria may be given to the
baby by an adult who has the disease in
such amid form that he Tor more probably
she) treats it only as cold. The Ameri-
can admits that lit would be absurd to
charge the spread of diphth eria entirely to
the practice OF child kissing" but says it
is hard to conceive of any mode of propo-
cation more directly suited to the spread
Of the Infection. 1t is so natural for good
men and good women to kiss bright little
childr en-, and it is o sign OF good will and
affection SO readily understood ~ the
babies, that they might after all suffer more

THE DANGER OF ASYLUMs.-The Rich
mond Dispatch" abiding to the cont st
Of various Virginia towns for the location
of a new asylum, says:
We wish there was less of this sort of
contest among towns. We suspect that if
they know when they are well off they will
steer clear of an asylum, with it's directors
and jobs. We have seen a world Of trouble
growing out of hostile ehques concerning
such institutions. They are always sure
to enlist everybody in a town, including
even the women and children. Take our
advice, and let the asylum alone. 1t will
generate the disease of lunacy in any town
that had ere its establishment been frugal,
serene, AND happy. We particularly warn
our friend Governor McM6LLIN against

READY MoNEY.-We believe there is
more ready money circulating among the
people OF Plttsylvania than in any other
county i'll the State, and, as al, evidence OF
this, we cite an incident: At a large sale
of personal property near this place recent
ly, though credit Of six months was Of
fered on all purchases exceeding twenty
dollars, but two parties of all the purch-
asers would accept the proffered creditand
gave their notes, preferring rather to pay
cash for everything. This is certainly a
hopeful and healthy financial sign.-C71at-

The Southern negro cannot in one Presi-

verified into ii person whom Anglo-Saxons
like to have govern them ; and the South
ern white cannot in one generation be
made to feel that it was a great mistake
that he did not let the negro govern him
sooner. If it had been easy for men of his
race to take this view of the black man,
doubtless the lot OF the latter would have
been much happier but doubtless, too,
TIE American Union would never have
existed to shelter him, for nothing is more

Feb. 9, 1875.
AS the columns of your well known paper
are filed weekly and contain news of diff
ferent parts of the country, ]. would like
to have you say little in regard to this
iourishing little valley of Hardy. The
farmers here are feeding cattle for the
spring market; they are feeding princi-
pally three and four-year Odds. The wheat
looks tine and gives prospect Of a good
crop. The farmers have their ice-houses
filled with ice, and they think they are
ready for the warm weather of the sum-
mer to come; but from the cold weather
which we have had in the last few days, it
doesn't look much like summer. Yester-
day morning the thermometer was four
degrees below zero-cold enough for me.
1t showed all day Sunday, which was very
disagreeable to those who had to be out in
it. After the. snow, it was only about
three inches deep. W. L. F.

The birth of four children at one time
to one mother in Baltimore was mention
ed last week. The event created great in
terest in that city Of which the "Sun'
says:
The babies were visited by hundreds OF
ladies from all parts of the city, and some
who live out of it, A number OF these
came in carriages. AT least score OF
physicians called to see the phenomena OF
nature, one physician coming from Wash
ington and another from Philadelphia
The babies were christened on Wednesday
by Rev. Father Malloy, OF st. johns par
iSh, at the request OF the mother. They
were named respectively Sarah, Mary Kate
| and Jennie, and each was duly labelled to
prevent them from becoming mixed, which
would otherwise be likely to happen as
| they are as much alike as four peas.
| Last evening Miss Sarah walked up and
was invited to take supper, but the ROOM
full of strangers rutfied her temper, and she
| demonstrated TO her audience the sound
ness of her lungs. Miss Kate, Jennie and
| Mary in the meanwhile continued their
nap. Mrs. Hahn was quite ILL.,, but no
doubt is expressed by physicians that she
will recover. and the prospects that the
children will live and thrive are quite
promising. When the announcement was
made at 8 O'Clock last night that the ba-
| bleS refused to receive any more visitors
until this morning, the pavement in front
OF the house WIS crowded with ladies who
went regretfully away.
All who were admitted to see the babies
pald something into the hands OF young
J man stationed to receive contributions to
| the baby fund. Several hundred ladies
| and some men visited the house during the
| lsv j oil ~ 1no of
cents admission, and some voluntarily -iv-
| ing q larger SUN. Among the visitors
| We're some from a distance. AG least a dOZ-
Ell or more physicians went to see for
themselves, and to inquire OF MI. Hahn all
/ about it. Indeed the father seemed to be
| as much an object Of curiosity as the ba-
bies. He is a small. neat, slim. intelligent
little man, not more than five feet tall
The mother is said to be Il woman Of large
size, though she is of course secluded
Her physician, however, report her to be
| doing we'll. The father remained up stairs
in the room with the babies, guarding the
! brood from the too enthusiastic eagernesS
of the ladies in their manifestations to-
wards ''the little dearS'' He has his hands
full "minding the babies, )" but Mrs. Hahn
will soon come around alright again and
then he will be relieved. A nurse was in
attendance helping the little fourfather.
The father of the children says his name
| is John Hahn he is thirty years old, was
born in Germany, but came to this coun-
| try when one year old. Mrs. Hahn is also
| thirty years of age, WAS born i'll the United
| States. She has for several years been in
delicate health, and for the past sig months
has been very i'll. Nh. Hahn is quite an
intelligent man, evidently temperate, and
