MARBLE TOP TABLES UNHEALTHY.
1t seems strange that these elegant
articles of furniture should be con-
sidered unhealthy. But the Herald
Of Health says of them:
They are cold, and rapidly absorb
the heat and vitality of the body,
robbing it of its life. We have
heard Of one invalid whom the doc
tor could not cure, till one day he
noticed she used marble stand,
and suspected it had something to
do with her i'll health. So he
forbade her touching it. Soon she
was cured. We know healthy
people who feel the twinges of pain
in a shoulder by sitting near one.
They are handsome, but unhealthy
for all that.

LIME FOR APPLEs.-A successful DO.
mologist of New Jersey writes to the
New York Herald that he once noticed
that tree standing in the immediate vi
cinity of his dwelling had all ut once
put forth with renewed energy and he
was at loss for some time TO define the
cause, On examination he found that a
quantity of lime, which had accidentally
been spilled and rendered worthless by
becoming mixed with the refuse on the
stable floor, had been thrown at the foot
of the tree, and to this, as the principal
cause, he Immediately accredited the re-
vival and renewed qualification of the
tree. Taking the hint from the incident.
he purchased twelve casks Of lime and
applied half abushel to each Of the trees
in his orchard and found that it produ.
ced immediate beneficial effects. Not
the health of the tree only but the quail.

A PLEASANT CoUeH CANpY.-Take
two tumblers. In one place gill of
flaxseed fill the other with broken bits
of slippery elm bark ill both tumblers
with boiling water and leave standing
for two hours. In saucepan place one
and half pound OF brown sugar, strain
into it through muslin all the liquid that
will pour from the two tumblerfnls of
bark and flaxseed. Transfer to the fire,
and stir until the candy seems upon the
point of turning back to sugar. When
this is seen to he the case, pour out in.
stantly and break into small pieces when
cold. This candy is surprisingly pleas
ant to the taste, and is found beneficial,
especially in the case of public speakers
called upon to tax the voice while suffer-
ing from hoarseness.

MAN DROWNED NEAR NEW CAsTLE--NAR-
ROW ESCAPE OF THE "vINDIcAToR"
FROM sINKING-A TUG SUNK.
Deputy Coroner, Richard Groves,
Jr., held an inquest, yesterday, at New
Castle, over the body of John Muir
phey, who was drowned on Sunday
evening, by falling from the steamship
pfndicdt0r while in The Delaware of
that place, The steamer was cut
through by the ice while making for
the wharf, on her passage to Philadel-
|phia. She was in sinking condition
and the crew were engaged in remov-
ing the cargo with boats, when Mur-
phy fell between the ship and boat
and was drowned before he could be
rescued. He was large, and, appar-
emily, very hearty man He was an
Englishman and hailed from New
Y ork, was about 20 years old and un-
married.
The ship belongs to VIM. P. Clyde
d Co., and the agent ordered the man
decently buried The jury rendered a
verdict of accidental drowning"
The VindicatOr had some days be-
fore relieved ship in distress of paIt
OF her cargo, and was therefore sunk
below her "water line" She was 81
feet in the water while her usual depth
was only 1S feet. She had 1000 bales
of cotton on her deck, q portion of
which was removed and after she
was pumped out the hole was patched
and she is now all right.
For time the greatest effort had to
be made to save her from sinking, and
men were paid 81 per hour for work.
There was about six feet of water In
her when the steam pumps were put to
work.
There are large number of vessels
lying at the wharf at New Castle, and
as the river is very full of ice, some Of
them are in great danger of being
crushed or cut through.
/ The tug Hudson, which sunk oppo
| site that place, went down in about Al
feet OF water. There Is no sign of hel
above the water. 1t is supposed she

A FEW WORDS TO FEEBLE AND
DELICATE WOMEN.

BY r. V. PIERCE, M. d., OF the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, n Y.
knowing that you are subject to a great
amount OF suffering, that delicacy on
your part has strong tendency to pro-
long, and the longer it is neglected the
more you have to endure and the more
difficult OF cure your case becomes, us
physician, who is daily consulted by
scores Of your sex, desire to say to you,
that am constantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailments
for months without being benefited in
the least, until they have become per-
fectly discouraged and have almost made
up their minds never to take another
dose OF medicine, nor be tortured by any
further treatment. They had rather die
and have their sufferings ended than to
live and suffer as they have. They say
they are worn out by suffering and are
only made worse by treatment. OF any
thing more discouraging, we certainly
cannot conceive, and were there no more
successful mode of treating such Difficult
ties than that, the principles of which
teach the reducing and depicting of the
vital forces of the system, when the in
dications dictate q treatment directly
the reverse of the one adopted for them,
their cases would be deplorable indeed.
But lady sufferers, there is better and
far more successful plan of treatment for
you; one more in harmony with the laws
and requirements of your system. A
harsh irritating caustic treatment and
strong medicines will never cure you.
If you would use rational means, such
as common sense should dictate to every
intelligent lady, take such medicines as
embody the very best invigorating tonics
and nervines, compounded with special
| reference to your delicate system. Such
a happy combination you will find in my
| Fayorite Prescription which has re-
| ceived the loudest praise from thousands
| Of your sex. Those languid tiresome
| sensations causing you to feel scarcely
| uble to be on your feet or ascend flight
| of stairs, that continual drain that is
| sapping from your system all your for
| mer elasticity and. driving the bloom
| from yonr checks that continual strain
| upon your vital forces that renders you
irritable and fretful, may all be over.
| come and subdued by Il persevering use
| of that marvellous remedy. Irregular
ties and distractions to the proper work
| ings of your systems are relieved by this
| mild and safe means, while periodical
pains, the existance of which is q sure
indication of serious disease that should
not be neglected, readily yield to it, and
| if its use is kept UP for reasonable
| length of time the special cause of thes.
| pains is permanently removed. Furthel
| light on these subjects may be obtainee
from my pamphlet on diseases peculia
to your sex, sent on receipt OF tw'

The Temperance Convention.

A SPECIAL TRAIN TO BE RUN TO DO
vER--THE LADIES' TEMPERANCE UNION
AT WORK.
On Tuesday next, 10th inst, grand
Temperance Convention will be held
at Dover, and a combined appeal will
be made to the State Legislature, for
the passage of the amendatory liquor
license law now before that body.
There being q strong feeling in this
section of the State on the temperance
question, and general desire toattend
the convention, the Ladies'Temperance
Union, of this city, conceived the idea
of running special train to Dover on
that day ,at a low rate of fare. Accord
ingly they requested the appointment
of committees in each church and
each Temperance Lodge of the city, to
ascertain how many persons would be
likely to go on the train. These com
mittees have not yet reported, but by
| their own active exertions the ladies
of the Temperance Union have already
collected considerable sum of money
towards chartering the train, and have
received the personal assurance of j
Taylor Cause, Esq, that he will guar
antee them against any loss which
might result from the venture.
The special train will therefore bt
chartered for next Tuesday, and low
rate of fare charged, probably about
one dollar for the round trip. There
is no doubt but that the convention
will be largely attended, and the Leg
islature be shown practical demon
stration of the interest which is being
awakened in the temperance cause
throughout the State.
