Worthy of Consideration.

Ar. Editor A more favorable time
than the present could not be desired
to start one or more good debating
societies. There are many new and
complicated ideas and opinions afoat
in the geographical, political and
financial fields Of thought, of which
it is difficult to obtain clear and con-
vincing information, even from those
who are generally looked up ito as
wise people. Especially is this the
case with matters connec ted with ma
tional finance. Instead therefore of
wasting valuable time during the win
ter months, let every one assist to
set on foot what will not only broad
en-, cultivate and instruct the people
of this town, but prove to be excel
lent entertainment. The power of
the press, Mr.. Editor, is potent and
if you, in your excellent paper, will
advocate this measure, l shall con-
slider it an accomplished fact.
Respectfully, X

Great indignation has been lavished
upon the custom-house officials for
their recently intensified vigilance in
examining the trunks of pretentious
feminine voyagers for dutiable silks,
laces and jewelry, when, in fact, those
often unjustly but quite frequently
justly abused servants of the State
should extend the same scrutiny to the
baggage Of the gentlemen. Strict
ness in the latter direction would bring
many so-called leaders of fashion to
pecuniary as we'll as other grief. They
spend the summer abroad and lay
in immense quantities of clothing, un-
derwear and especially gloves, which
in the majority Of cases escape duty
upon landing. Here would be an ex-
cellent chance for the application of
the old saw-"What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, too"

IN MEMORIUM.

When we see q precious blossom,
That we tended with such care,
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our aching hearts despair
Round her little grave we linger
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have persisted
With the flower we cherished SO.
But our hearts that were 80 heavy and
sad
Were made to rejoice and be glad,
And peace without measure we had
When the Holy Comforter came.
Little LULA GAIL MASON entered her
Heavenly Home twenty minutes past two
o'clock, Saturday morning, 2sth of Sep
TENDER, 1878. Calls suferings were in
tense for about thirty hours. The disease
entered our house as stealthily as Group al
ways does in the silence of the night, and
took firm hold on our darling, not relax
ing its hold until it claimed her victim.
1t was truly verified that death loves a
shining mark" for never was there a
more lovely child given to earthly parents
to rear than little GA1L-so lovely, so
amiable, affectionate and obedient. Her
large brown eyes always sparkling with
joy even to the last moment of her life.
Little GAIL was a true lover of Nature
and Natures works Ever since her eyes
have been able to distinguish any object,
flowers have been her greatest delight-of-
ten sitting for hours inspecting them. She
would rather spend her time with flowers
and feathered pets than her toys. Her
whole life was emblemstic of an angel sent
in Disguise by the Almighty. But her mis-
sion is ended, and she rests sweetly-has
escaped the trials and temptations that
would have befallen her pathway had she
tarried awhile longer with us. Her sud-
den death and sweet sleeping away into
another world is lesson to us all that we
know not the hour when our Lord will
cometo call us home. Oh, may We all be
as ready as little GAIL was when the sum-
mons came for her to go home Hence
forth we will always imagine her among
the angelic throng, calling Us to come
thither and be happy with her.
When the weary one we loved
Entered on that rest above
When her words Of love and cheer
Fall no longer on our ear
Hush! be every murmur dumb!-
1t is Dnly till He come.

The YELLOW FEVER UNABArE,

The YELLOW FEVER UNDATED
-RELIEE STILL IN THE FUTURE
A New Orleans dispatch dated We'd
nesday says the obstinacy of the cpl
demic in maintaining the death line
horizontal far beyond the point estab-
lished by the precedent as the initial
of marked decline is the theme of
grave discussion. There is apparent
ly no tendency to observe the law of
periodicity, and as frost cannot be
hoped for before November Is, relief
is yet far in the future.
A later dispatch says nearly fifteen
thousand persons who have returned
from the lake shore watering-places
are being Frustrated almost as fast as
they arrive. A perfect panic pre-
walls.
In the opinion of well-informed OBJ
servers the influx has restored the ep-
idemic to its former status. Over
500 are Frustrated in Carrollton,
and as many more in Gretna and AL
giers. At Barnes Hotel, Mississippi
City, those who died were buried I'm.
cofined. Col. Jack Wharton, who is
authority for this statement, says.
Had we waited to send to New Or.
leans for cofins we would have had
to carry them out in bueksts."

We copy the following from The

as Austin Phelps, D. D., Francis Wayland,

have not been uncared for.
Of their work projected for the coming
season, we have not room to speak in de-

that it is wide in range, including substan-

Pastor Of the Wesleyan Methodist CAurcA at
Ptttston, Luzerne County, Pr.
My Dear Sir-Iaying at various times,
personally and in my own and other i;tmi-
lies, tested the great value of the medicine
called PERUVIAN SYRUP, or Protected
SOLUTION OF PRoToXIDE OF Iron, l most
checrtully recommend it, especially to
those who are suffering from Gyspc;tc
and nervous disorders. AS reliable and
powerful Alternative, it is, think, unsur-
passed; and as tonic free from all the OBJ
jectionabc features OF alcoholic remedies,
it Isl most efficient auxiliary to the tenn
perance cause. One of the greatest hind
RANGES to the temperance reform at present
is, as think, the medical use of alcoholic
stimulants. Whatever may be argued as
to the necessity in certain cases, we have
in the PERUVIAN SYRUP, safe and
efficient substitute for those dangerous
remedies. This testimony is given unso-
licited, with the hope that some who are
not yet acquainted with the valuable prop
critics of the medicine may be induced to
give it trial. Yours truly,
JOHN GREGORY.
