The Universal Bath.-Mr. n. X.

lut OulteTSui DttHs-Nll. ~. ~. Nustu-
wick has visited this town with the prince
of baths. 1t combines all the excellencies
of all other baths, with an improvement on
each. Two buckets of water in the g Uni
versal Bath is equal to half a barrel in a
metal trough. 1t is as easily conveyed
from room to room as 4 common cane seat
chair-requiring only two chamber chairs
to support it while being used, and when
not in use, can be set up in any corner, or
behind a door as conveniently as an ironing
board. For comfort, convenience, economy
in water-which is the greatest bother in
using the large metal bath trough-and the
variety of baths that can be taken in the
Universal Bath" it far surpasses any
thing that has ever been invented as
"bath Tub" Twenty five dollars is the
price, which is apt to strike one at first as
being too much for SO simple contrivance,
which is constructed with strong wooden
rim, the shape of an ordinary bath trough,
and a strong vulcaniZed rubber sack, which
is prepared to stand a test of heat s. above
boiling water. The bath. however, will be
found to be cheap in comparison with the
necessary arrangement Of a complete bath
ing establishment, which costs four or five
hundred dollars, requiring an ocean of
water to supply it. For health and clean
liness' sake, and for comfort, every family
ought to have a good bath, and this is the
only one adapted to the use of all, requir-
ing but small quantity of water, no extra
room and little trouble to use.
Mr. Chadwick left his address with us,
and any person who failed to procure one
of these admirable baths while the agent
was in town, can have one sent by express,
by leaving the order at Tile Wing Office,
within few days.

Wickersham Institute.-The report of
the June meeting should have been given
last week, but owing to the remissness of
the party intrusted with forwarding it, it
was delayed. The following abstract of
its contents may yet be interesting:
Wickersham Institute met on June 10th.
President in the chair. Select readings
were given by Misses Howard, Bosee and
Moore, and Mr.. Calhoun. The question
"Should school books be furnished by the

Hanna, Calhoun and others. Suggestions
for making the proceedings of the Institute
of more general literary character were
made by Miss Howard. No new appoint
ments were made.

of new carriage wheels were taken from an
old vehicle which was being repaired at the
shops of the Witworth Bros. The running
gears were standing in the yard in front Of
the shops. The wheels had been given one
coat of paint. They were unscrewed from
the axles, and the nuts and wheels taken
and the axles dropped on the ground.
On the same night, the garden of Mrs
Parker, on Back street, was entered by
eight rows of potatoes growing in the gar
den, were dug up and the esculents carried
away.

Singular Cases Of Insanity.-Last week
we published an account of the case OF
David McConaughey, who had been kept
for several years at kirkbride's hospital
and in New Castle almshouse, by his broth
ers, charged with being insane, which
seems to have been his condition part of
the time. He was declared by jury de
lunatieo inquirendo to be rational, and was
restored to his liberty and property. On
Monday last, the prosecuting brother,
Thomas, and the witness, iona. McCon-
aughey, were conveyed to Kirkbride's hos
pital, both insane.
Some foolish people are found who charge
that this is judgment brought upon them
for the treatment of their brother David.
The unfortunate men are wealthy, having
an interest in the valuable iron ore mines
on Iron Hill, three miles from Elkton.

MISCELLANY.


Mr.. Robert Gwin, our Bailiff, is at work
on the streets, making all necessary repairs.
The heavy rain on Tuesday evening, washed
the streets in many places considerably,
but under Mr.. OWNS supervision they
will soon be all smooth again. We
would thank the brothers and sisters of
Granite Lodge, l. o. G. t., for bestowing
upon your reporter the editorship of The
Granite Mirror, a lively paper of the Lodge.
We feel inadequate to the responsibility
resting upon u.s. but will endeavor to do
the best possible, hoping to be able to edit
it with credit to ourselves and honor to the
Lodge. Notwithstanding the
heavy rain and sharp lightning on Tuesday,
Wednesday was very warm.

Crops of grass are light, but quality good
Clover is a fair crop generally. The recen

which promises to be fair. AS usual, thos
who have the richest soil have the mos

To III. Editor Ert3ijHg Sdr. no doubt
many Of the readers OF THE STAR are glad
to hear something from the City of Fashion
and Pleasure, I Will enumerate in short
space few days experience.
Paris seems To be unusually gay this year.
Many Of the hotels are already overcrowie1,
and at the Grand Hotel tthe headquarters o
Americans hundreds are refused daily for
want Of room. 1t is, however, not astouish-
ing that people should come here at this sea
son of the year, for at no time does Paris
show to better advantage. The temperature
averages from IS TO 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
The trees in the parks mostly all horse

FLOWERS AND ENERGRFENS
IN abundance can be seen all over the city
Tor wherever Frenchman can place q dower
pot or vine to ornament his dwelling ne
will certainly do so. The French, as Won
know, display great taste in everything i'm
the way of OrnamentatiOn. The thousands
ofiittle shops and stores are all fixed nm with
care and neatneSs that at once attracts the
strangers eye. Every article shows TO adj
early morning you can see the ladies (who
universally perform the duties Of clerks here)
hard at work IN sweeping, cleaning, and an
ranging their stores and goods. In fact the
enterprise and industry OF the French women
is something 10 be admired by strangers.
SHOPPING.

complainedi in the newspapers that they have
been overcharged and cheated by Shopkeep-
els in this city, but my own experience has
been entirely 10 The contrary, and believe,
that as general thing, the Paris retailers
are as honest class OF people as you find
anywhere in the world. If a person is taken
IN at any time, il is most likely more or less
his own fault, as in most ali stores the prices
of the goods are plainly marked. and all a
person has to DO is To point at the article ami
