his ofhcIal duties, and, some time AGO.
loaned him fifteen hundred dollars. The
destruction OF the postoffice records, when
they could have easily been saved
aroused suspicion, which led, last We'd
nesday, to the arrest Of Brettinger.
This official at once made full confes-

however, resulted in his defeat and the
election of his opponent, whose name is
Hunt. 1t is not likely that he will hold
any more offices under the General Gov
ernment. Brettinger, the postmaster, is
a native of Pennsylvania, but, like Boil

ger with political perfection. He is also
engaged in the book and stationery busi-

Easy Manners.

Recent events have called public at
tention to the intimate relation of morals
and manners. 1t may be said that there
is no greater peril to morality than much
that Is called merely free and easy man
ners. Young men, and even young wo-
men, permit themselves freedom and
license of manner which, having all the
aspect OF ImpropEiety, may very readily
acquire its substance. Edward addresses
Emily with loud and testing intimacy
of tone and conduct, which might be eX-
pected In the sailor saloons on Water
street or Mapping, but which is repul-
sive and odiOus in.the drawing or
among refined and gentle persons. Ed
ward and Emily would be amazed to be
told that they have not the manners of
a gentleman or of lady, and have the
air of the demimonde. They think that
they are especially CONNIE il taut, and that
above all others they know what is the
rule of high society. But they are
merely vulgar, and have the manners of
those who are worse than merely vulgar.
Coarseness cannot be gilded into refine
ment. The young woman who habitu-
ally calls her young friends Of the other
sex by their Christian names, or who
suffers anything that can be called fa-
miliarity, although it fall short of actual
indecorum, should reflect carefully
" Sir" said lady to a policeman who

personal dignity wishes any man to lay
his hand upon her thoughtlessly or un-
necessarily. Nor will such woman
permit any kind of rudeness in the tone
or manner of men.

Keeping PouIar, in Orchard..

Some farmers make it practice to
keep their poultry in their orchards from
early spring until cold weather sets in,
and they find that it pays. A picket
fence should be built around the orchard
high enough to prevent their flying over,
with suitable building, in one corner of
the yard to shelter them mt night.
Thus situated the poultry will thrive
and prosper, keeping themselves in good
condition, and the increase Of eggs will
be greatly augmented and their useful
ness enhanced to their owners, at least,
on account of the myriads of insects and
worms they destroy, and which will more
than repay the cost and labor of building
the fence. BY keeping them enclosed in
this manner, large number Of fowls
may be retained in the orchard, and the
continual scratching which il done by
them will prove advantageous both to the
soil and trees themselves, - Colonial

Farmers and Rheumnti.m.

Why are farmers so liable to rheuma-
tism? Because they wear wet clothing,
heat and suddenly chill the body, over
eat after very hard work, and because
they DO not keep the skin in a vigorous,
clean and healthy condition. If farmers
would avoid suddenly cooling the body
after great exertion, if they would be
careful not to 90 with wet clothing and
wet feet, and if they would not overeat
when in an exhausted condition, and
bathe daily, using much friction, they
would have less rheumatism. The same
rule applies to others than farmers. The
Turkish bath is the best remedy for rheu-
matism. Science of Health
