TIE MAINTENANCE OF 1EALTH.-The
maintenance Of health is often more diff
cult than its recovery. Initiated conditions
Of the atmosphere, unhealthy occupations,
extremes of heat or cold, and constant eX-
posure to rough weather, are all so many
pr0vocations of disease. There is but one
sure way of eilectually guarding the system
when thus subjected to influences prejudi-
cal to health, and that is to establish, by
.iudicious tonic and Alternative medication,
vigor of the body and regularity of its func-,
tions. The properties Of an inyigorant and
corrective are happily combined in Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which, at the same
time that it inftlses unwonted vitality into
the system, overcomes all tendency of the
stomach, liver bowels and urinary organs to
deviate from regularity in the discharge of
functions upon which the welfare Of the en-
tire physical organization is dependant.
Health cannot be more etlectually main
tanned than by using the Bitters. jan7-lm

TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

We have frequently called the attention of our
municipal au thorties to the acts of Assembly
approved on the 2Oth of April, 1862 and 2Oth OF
April, 1874. The first of these provides that it
shall be the duty of the school directors of each
town to publish annually statement of moneys
received and expended by them together with
the amount of tax remaining outstanding, and
other facts in regard to their financial manage
mcnt the same to be made public through the
medium of handbills posted in the most frequent
ed places in the district.
The last named act contains the following Ian
guage, and we trust its provisions will be needed
by those concerned. The law may be found on
page GS of the Pamphlet Laws of the Common
wealth for the year referred to:
"The corporate authorities of every munich
pality or district, shall, annually, in the month
of January, prepare and publish in at least two
newspapers of said municipality or of the county
in which the same is situate, if so many be print.
ed therein, a statement showing in detail the
actual Indebtedness, the amount of the funded
debt, the amount of the floating debt thereof, the
valuation of taxable property therein and the
assets of the corporation, with the character and
nature thereof date Of maturity of the respective
forms of funded debt thereof; and a neglect or
failure to do so shall be n misdemcanor, punish

pendence and liberty-the growth of our insti-
tutions, and the lives Of our warriors statesmen,
scholars, inventors and economists. twill con-
tain six hundred pages and over two hundred
embellishments.
The author has quietly worked at this during
the last year. examining every original source
of information available, and Judging from his

well as his knowledge Of general history,we may
expect valuable contribution to the literature

The citizens of Milton raised 1926 to be pre-
sented to the fire companies from distance who
assisted in putting out the recent large conna-
grafton in that borough, 800 of it was sent to
Lewisburg company, whereupon, at meeting
OF the Lewisburg Fire Department, the follow
ing resolution, among others, was passed
Rcsoired That our Chief Engineer be directed
to return said money and request that it be de-
voted to those most deserving who lost their all
by the fire iend.
The money was accordingly returned by Chief
Engineer Bates. This was a very creditable
transaction from the beginning, as it showed
that the Mitonians appreciated the services of
their neighbors, and it also showed that the
Lewisburg iircmen desired no pecunary COM
pcnsation for doing what they regarded as their
duty.

POSTAL CHANGEs-The people of this COM

man, Millard f. Conner route agent, for the
change by which we now receive the New York
and Philadelphia mails at 1853 p. m. Other
changes are proposed which will give us increas-
ed mail facilities, and we hope they will be
adopted The Lackawanna & Bloomsburg road
would also aid the business community much
by giving us two mails day each way, 1t
needs no additional trains, and the increasing
business on their line warrants it,

RECORD Your DEEDs.-For the benefit of
our readers we will just state that there is very
erroneous idea prevailing in the minds of some
persons in relation to the recording of deeds for
real estate. They appear to think that if they
have a deed in their possession for any piece OF
property their title is perfectly safe; but in
many cases this is Il great mistake. There are
laws ON our statute books on this subject, and
hundreds of persons have been put to great trou'
BILE and expense, and not few have lost their
property entirely, by not paying proper atten-
ton to them. If "a person has deed for piece
Of land and is in actual possession OF It, that Is
notice of ownership until the contrary is shown,
but if he is not in possession of it. and his deed
is not recorded within six months after its date,
and the vendor should sell it to another person
who knows nothing about the first deed the sec
ond purchaser would hold it, either by having
his deed recorded first or by getting possession
of the land Again, if a man neglects to have
his deed recorded, not being in possession of the
property, and judgments should be entered up
against the vendor, they would become liens
against the property, and the man who has paid
his money and held this unrecorded deed might
lose his land. And again, deeds are frequently
lost by burning and otherwise, and rendering
great trouble and expense necessary in duplicat'
ing the deed or perfecting the title. Every
GOOD business man sends his title papers to the
Recorders office the first opportunity, and no
LAWYER or judge will permit any deeds of real
estate to be laid away, not even in an iron safe
until they have been recorded, Our advice to
parties holding old deeds which are not recorded
and to all those getting new ones, is to have
them recorded at once, Especially is this nee
essary in towus where fires and robberies are OF
almost daily occurrence, which might and does
freouently sweep away traces of title that are not
preserved ON the public record.

The shoe store of f. M. Knorr was entered
by burglars on Friday night last. 1t is not
known how much was taken. As this is the
second time Mr. Knorr has been robbed it looks
as though the thieves were particular about
what they wear on their feet. They know that
hnorr has ono of the finest assortments in town.
We believe there is no clue to the robbers.

KIDNEY DIFFICULTIEs.-Soeer Port
Grape Wine is one Of the best diuretics
known, it gently acts on the kidneys, stimu-
lating and infuslng in them new vigor and
urges them to throw from the system all the
worn out PARTICLES which if suffered to re-
main would poison the blood and create
disease. Every disease to a certain extent
demands diuretic, every part of the system
must be in working order to maintain health,
and the kidneys especially are the main
avenues for the escape Of the poisons Of the
system. Physicians have, after strict trial
and~due examination, found Speer's Port
Grape Wine to answer the purpose admira-
bly,, and recommend it in cases where a du-
retic is needed. This wine is raised in New
jersey, and sold by druggists generally.
