NEW YORK.
1876
I776

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year 1t is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives the
first since the war, will be in power at Wash
ington; and the year of the twenty-third elee-
ton of a President of the United States. All
of these events are sure to be of great interest
and Importance, especially the two latter; and
all OF them and everything connected with
them will be fully and freshly reported and
expounded in THE Sun.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago
by The Sun, will sternly and diligently inves-
ugate the corruptions and misdeedS of GRANTS
administration; and will, it is to be hoped
lay the foundation for Il new and better period
in our national history. Of all this The Sun
will contain complete and accurate accounts,
furnishing its readers with early and trustwor
thy information upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty third Presidential election, with.
the preparations for it, will be memorable as|
deciding upon GRANT aspirations for a third
term of power and plumber, and still more as|
deciding who shall be the candidate of the
party of Reform, and as electing that cand-
date. Concerning all these subjects, those Who'll
read THE Sun will have the constant means of
being thoroughly we'll informed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained a cir
culation of over eighty thousand copies, al
ready has its readers in every State and Terri
tory, and we trust that the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. 1t will continue TO be
thorough newspaper. All the general news
of the day will be found in it, condensed when
unimportant, at full length when of moment !
and always, we trust, treated in a clear inter
eSting and instructive manner
1t is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN the
best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns a large a
mount of miscellaneous reading, such us Stories
tales, poems, scientific intelligence and agri- |
culturalinformation, for which are not able v
to make room in our daily edition. The agri-y
cultural department especially is one of its|
prominent features. The fashions are also re-
gularly reported in its columns; and so are the
markets of every kind.
The WEEKLY SUN, eight pages with ffty-six
broad columns is only SI.20 wear, postage
prepaid. As this price barely repays the cost
of the paper, no discount can be made from
this rate TO clubs, agents, Postmasters, or any
one.
The DAILY SUS, large four page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns, gives all the news for
two cents copy. Subscription, postage pre-
paid, 55c. month or $3.50 year. SUNDAY
edition extra, Sl.lO per year. We have no
travelling agents. Address,
dec. 3-6t TIE sun, New York City.

Opposed to Liquor Traffic.

We very much admire the stand taken
by our correspondent, Mr.. HUNT, of the
firm of Hunt & Ward. at Bensyille. All
good men in that neighb ,rhsoti should
give proper encouragement to this firm:
INr Edior.-Dedr Sir: Mv attention has
been called to the list of persons and firms re-
commended by the Grand Jurors of your No
vember Court as suitable persons to have license
to sell liquor, from May next. In that list
see the firm of HUNT 4 Ward, at Bensville, is
recommended. | am one of that firm and must
say that we never made application for any
such recommendation. | am opposed to the
liquor traffic in all its branches, from the dis
tilery to the retailer, and wish it to be so
understood. | suppose the Grand Jurors did
so with kind feeling. and of course | do not
have any unkind feelings towards them,
but think it would be more in keeping with
the intention of the law if they would not re-
commend any but those who apply; and, per-
hops, still better, if they would refuse some of
those. Respectfully yours,
I. B., Nor. 80, 1875. j. ELI HUNT.
Our devil suggests that some thirsty
Grand Juror living in that neighborhood
made the application, having experienced
the inconvenience of not being able to wet
his whistle when at the temperance store
of HUNT & Ward.

Diptheria.

Twenty years ago diptheria, at least by
that name, was almost unknown. To-day,
according to the New York Times, it has
nearly assumed the proportions of an cpl
demic in that city and its neighboring
towns. 1t is also prevailing in other parts
of the land. Although its ravages are
chiefly among the young and feeble, it at
tacks adults as well as children. The dis
ease of the throat is said to differ from all
other forms of sore throat previously
known. 1t is very malignant and often
fatal disease. It was first observed and
described by NJ. Brotonneau, of Tours. in
1918. 1t is characterized By peculiar in
flammation of the mucous membrane of
the throat, or pharynx. accompanied by
the production of false membrane. This
is said to make its appearance in nearly
all cases in the shape of grayish- brown
patches, or as one authority says, in the
form of white spot on the pharynx or
tonsils, from which it extends, producing
at last suffocation. Hence it is of the ut
most importance TO watch closely the
Threats of children who are apparently i'll
with cold and sore throat. Usually fever
and prostration occur in the early stages
of the disease, though in some instances
the false membrane is formed suddenly
and almost without warning. 1t should
be remarked that diptheria, ordinarily. is
not difficult disease to combat when it
is treated in time. If the threats Of all
ing children are frequently examined there
will be little danger that parents will mis-
take incipient diptheria for an ordinary
cold. The New York 7fmss remarks, no
doubt with truth, that scores of children
have died of diptheria who would in all
probability be now alive had the grayish-
brown patches in the throat been discov-
cred at their first appearance, and compe-
tent physician been promptly summoned.
1t seems to be agreed that the disease is
owing in some measure to the neglect of
sanitary measures. Sewer gas, damp eel
lars, and the neighborhood of malarious
marshes, are mentioned among the causes
of its prevalence. Yet all these existed
twenty years ago, when the disease was
rare. 1t may be added that diptheria is
generally believed to be contagious
Whether the cause Of the disease be poi
soned air or polluted water or not, it can
do no harm to avoid the violation of SAM.
tary rules especially as regards defective
drainage and sewer gas.

Port Tobacco, on Tuesday last-St. An

The New York Observer.

This best of family newspapers is as
fresh and interesting, now in its fifty
third year, as ever before; and, indeed,
we think it more 80. Its letters alone are
worth more than the subscription price of
the paper. 1t repudiates all offers of pre-
miums, pictures, &C., and sends to its pa
irons splendid family newspaper of the
largest dimensions, containing all the de-
sirable news religious and secular, and an
endless variety of reading for the young
and old, all of which is pure and good
Every family should have it. For speci
men copies, address S. /. Prime & Co.,

The Third Maryland Revenue District.
President Grant has issued orders for
the consolidation of number of the In
ternal Revenue districts of the country,
including the third and fifth Maryland
districts Robert M. Proud will remain
Collector of the consolidated districts, to
be known as the third, with his head
quarters at Baltimore, as at present. The
third district as now constituted takes in
the city wards from the eighth to the
twentieth. With the fifth added it will
comprise in addition the first, second,
third, fourth, eighth and thirteenth dis
tricts of Baltimore county, with Howard,
Montgomery, Prince Georges, Anne Arun-
del, Calvert, Charles and st. Mary's coun-
ties, the Collector of which is Dr. W. R.
Wilmer, of this county.
Since the consolidation has been or
dered, we understand that flood of re-
monstrances and protests against this ac-
ton has poured in on the Commissioner
\and the President, but thus far without
fect, except in the case of the Lafayette
d1sssieeof Indiana. where General Frank
White has been reinstated.

Tobacco Inspectors.

The Marlboro Gazette says that, sit
has been suggested that a meeting of the
planters of Prince Georges county should
be held before the Governor makes his APP
pointments of Inspectors, to urge upon
him the vital Importance of selecting none
but thoroughly qualified men to fill these
Offices. The present depressed condition
of this trade is in great measure attri-
butabie to the loose practices that have
grown up in some of the warehouses"

We learn that Mr.. JOS S. Lancaster has
extensively gone into the oyster business
at Dill's Pavilion. This season he has
commenced the shocking of oysters on q
vessel anchored in the stream. These
oysters when shucked are shipped to Bal

have contracted to pay Sc cents per gal
has in his employ some twenty or thirty
hands and shucks we imagine at least one

ided colder than before, and Thursday
morning found the ground frozen hard
and the air keen but glorious. 1t has
seemingly been but such short time since
we were in the midst of summer, with all
its luxuries and glories, that we can hard
