Flagg's Liver Pad men have been the
sensation OF the week with the class of per
sons who delight in "Punch and Indy ;,
shows, and they have been RECALLED nightly
with that exquisite song of the chewing

Such treatment is cruel.
DARING THEFT.--Last Sunday evening
between dark and bed time while DIR. and
Mrs. Ashcraft were temporarily absent
from their house, a thief broke in and car
RED CT as booty the purse of Mrs Ashcraft
containing $50 and two overcoats of the
Doctors. Mrs. A. had been a resident of
the town only two days and that must have
been an unconsionable miscreant who
would thus ego for" bride.
DEATH FROM LoCK-JAw.-We noted TWO
weeks since the injury to "Dan," nine.
year'old son of Peter O'Neal, engineer at
Clayton, cutting off the end of his big toe
OF the right foot while playing with the
turn-table. He was getting along well
enough until Sunday week, when a goat
came into the room where he was. In his
efforts to scare out the animal, he fell and
hurt the wound severely, from the effects
OF which lock;jaw set in, causing his death
the following Wednesday.
| TROUBLED ABOUT IT.-The Lowell. Mass
Courier is greatly troubled over the case of
the woman in Smyrna, recently published
IN Egery Evening, who has just married her
eighth husband, and plaintively asks: ain
the resurrection whose wife will she be p"
Is 1T possible that the Courier's religious
education has been so sadly neglected. as
this query implies2 Let it borrow a Bible
and turn to the twenty-second chapter of
st. Matthew, thirtieth verse, and there
read the answer which the wicked Sad
ducees received from Christ in reply to
precisely the same question: Erery E0en.

Our contemporary is trihe ahead of time.
In copying the article from the TIMES, if
the Eve'y Evening got it right, the state
ment was not that she had married the
eighth time, but expected to. E. T.. should
be little more considerable and not force
matters, With the young and hot blooded,
1t usually takes more than a month to fan

The MosQUITo IN HIS AUTUMN HoME.-It
is now our turn-we mean the people of
the Peninsula-to commiserate the deni.
zsns OF Wilmington, Philadelphia &C., on
their crop OF mosquitoes. 1t is no uicom.
mon thing to see the poor unfortunates
coming out in the morning looking as if
they had sat for the picture of the "Sulphur
Soap" man so familiar in the papers. Thew
can pit one of their civilized MOSQUITOES
against a dozen of our unsophisticated
marsh cousins for downright night deviltry.
Ours give square field fight without much
regard to ambush, while theirs will feicn at
tacks and retreat behind headboardsa and bed
curtains until you are wearied and exhausted
with the contest. They couldn't get trade
OF stock out of us with an offer of heavy
boot IN gallinippers. And now comes the
cry from the hill country of PENNSYLVANIA,
where they have been heretofore EXEMPT,
that their nights are being made miserable
by the blood thirsty mosquitoes. In our
autumn exemption, they certainly are
entitled to our deepest commiseration.
