Matrimonial Adventures of IA Quack
In Mt. Holly.

The quiet burgh Of Mount Holly has
lately been excited by the peripatetic per-
ordinations of certain venerable and de-
mented quack doctor who visited there
only last week. He happened to drop into
the residence of widow, of quiet and re-
spectacle nature, who was possessed of a
handsome and attractive daughter of ten
der years. Now this medicine man claimed
to be a prophet in all matters of health,
and could foretell any disease before it
made its approach. He carried his med
icines in basket which swung on his arm
and had mysterious and very wise APP
pearance. On entering the house
he accosted the lady of the house
by at once informing her that
she was sick with weak stomach and the
liver complaint. She was 10th to believe
any slch stuff. He insisted that such was
the case, and also that her husband was
sick The lady was amused at this and re-
piled that her husband was all right. The
old gent still claimed that he knew the con-
dtlon of the system without seeing the
person, and said unless they bought bot
tie of his medicine they would surely die
price one dollar per bottle. Finally the
lady told the quack that her husband was
dead! Finding himself beaten at this
game he next tries to win the affections of
the daughter. He approaches the subject
quietly by remarking that he has house
in Rutland, and was after housekeeper.
"Could your daughter go and keep house
for me-"
The mother refers him to the daughter.
He begins his suit by affirming that the
young lady is in bad health, troubled with
dizziness of the brain, and cold feet if
she would so with him he would cure
her, otherwise she must die. She spurned
the offer. In vain did he offer her new
dress every two weeks and all the good
things of life, pressing his suit with great
pathos and eloquence-it was without eff
feet. The poor old man has to give up in
despair and leaves, taking with him, as a
memento of buried hopes and blasted am
billions, pair of new mittens , The
women were glad to be released from his
proposals at so small price.

The Burlington Fire.

The extensive dry house of Bronsons,
Weston, Green Il Co, was destroyed
on Wednesday afternoon about three
o'clock. The fire department got quickly
to the scene and went to work "a soon as it
was possible. The dense smoke which
rolled up in huge volumes troubled them
and the water came slowly and with so
little force that their best endeavors were
almost unavaling. 1t soon became evident
that the dry house could not be saved, and
the only chance for effective work would
be in keeping the flames ont of the lumber
piles north of the fire. The mill on the
south was in no danger on account of the
wind. One by one the fire companies We're
relieved, not a single man of the heroic
workers leaving till ordered to do SO. To-
ward nightfall, says the Sentinel, the dam
ger seemed comparatively slight, and the
tircmen were nearly all let off, though
some were kept through the night, and all
were willing to do their very best. At one
time ten streams were running upon the
fire, and that caused the apparent failing
of water. The insurance upon the prop
erty destroyed amounts to some $4,000.
No satisfactory theory of the origin of
the fire has yet come to light.

self it says:
1.-The whole bill is bad from begin
ming to end in all its thirteen sections,
but the climax is reached in the last
section which authorizes the president
to suspend the habeds corpus In GER
tain exigeneies, in which he is made
the sole judge. His mere discretion,
his irresponsible will, is to be the su-
preme law in four states whenever il
suits his caprice, pleasure or ambition
to make it so. He can arrest any citi-
zens he pleases, shut them up in prison
as long as he pleases without a judicial
warrant, without sworn accuser. with
out particle of evidence which hsisre-
quired to produce, without informing
them of the charges or giving them any
opportunity to prove their innocence.
."The object in this case is to fabri-
cate protest for federal interference
in state without an application from
its government. The pretence of do
meStic violence therefore gives place
to a pretence of invasion, and when
the efforts of two persons are brought
within the definition of an invasion
there never need be any obstacle to
to a federal interference IN state affairs.
A president who is bent on suspend
ing the ha6eas corpus in state must be
very poor in resources if he cannot get
an invasion of two persons mannfac
tured to order in some oneof the neigh
boring states. And as soon as he can
get up such pretext of invasion his
hands are united, because he can send
the army of the United States to repel
an invasion without the consent of the
invaded state.

A very picturesque thing is flea
catching in balmy Florida. Here is
the ordinary method as prescribed by
a lady to a correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun:
"Go to your room," she says, "lock
your door, close your blinds. spread a
large blanket out on the floor, take
your position in the middle of it, with
a basin of water beside you, then re-
move each article of dress, one piece
at time, turn it inside out, and shake
it carefully over the blanket. The
little wretches will drop on and be-
come entangled in the nap of the
blanket, when they can easily be caught
and consigned with appropriate rites
to a watery grave in the basin"
