AN lyvITAr1oN TO oALL AGAIN.


In the presence of very large audience
Prof Gardner. of Connecticut, in accordance
with the call published in our paper of last
week signed by clergymen and others re-
peuted his lecture on the evils of the liquor
traffic, in First Methodist Church on Thurs
dap evening, and carried the assembly with
him from the start. Prof Gardner is one Of
those rare, hearty, convincing speakers not
often met with--the kind tnat come upon a
special duty and never fail in accomplishing
it. His utterances were telling, pointed,
plain. None could hear the man but feel
that his course was pursued in deep, thrill
ing earnest, and his ends gained by ncOntru.
vertible facts and argument. He spoke in
long periods, and those who had the pleas
ure TO hear his wondrous delineation and
rapid, thorough and often amusing illustra-
tion of the theme in hand paused in relief
at the close only to gather breath for the
next start. On the platform with him were
Rev. B. c. Meeker, First Presbyterian Church;
Rev. +. lIumphrics, Primitive Methodist
Tabernacle; and Rev. j. +. Meredith, of
First Methodist Church. In the audience
we noted the leading business men, repres-
entatives of the law and clergy of Tamaqua,
and it was a great audience considering that
the rain and slush made the walking very
unpleasant. Prof. Gardner is a rapid talker
forcible and quick in clinchng home truth
and fact, and should he ever come to Tama-
qua again no church will hold all who would
turn out to greet him. His words have made
deep impression here, and thinking men
say that such lecturers are blessing to any
community. During the delivery OF the
lecture not a person left the room, aud at
the close Prof. Gardner was greeted with
hearty applause. Rev. Mr.. Meredith very
appropriately remarked, 81 thank you for
your abundant applause; let us have it in
the baskets"
most heartily approve of the above
notice, and will say that the occasion was
a brilliant success in audience, matter and
manner. most cordially and cheerfully

How to Deal with Rats.

A writer in the Scientific american
says We clean our premises of these de-
testable vermin by making whitewash
yellow with copperas and covering the
stones and rafters in the cellar with thick
coat of it. In every crevice where rat
might tread, We put the crystals OF the
copperas and scatter the same in the cor
ners Of the floor. The result was per-
feet stampede Of rats and mice. Since
that time not football Of either rats or
mice has been heard about the house.
Every spring n coat Of the yellow wash is
given to the cellar, rs purifyer as we'll
as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dyscntery or fever attacks the family.
Many persons deliberately attract all the
rats in the neighborhood by leaving fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the cellar;
and sometimes even the soap is left open
for their regalcment. Cover up every
thing eatable in the cellar aud pantry and
you will soon starye them out. These
precautions joined to the service Of good
cat will prove as good a rat exterminator
as the chemist can provide. We never
allow rats to be poisoned in our dwelling,
they are so liable to die between the walls
and produce much annoyance.

Redeeming Mutilated Currency.

Whenever national bank or legal
tender note becomes mutilated; whenever
anybody comes into possession Of worn
out note; or whenever by accident any
money Of this character becomes so far
destroyed that it will not pass, the owner
may send il TO the Treasurer of the United
States. The mutilated currency goes to
the redemption division of the Treasur-
er's Office, and there judgment is passed
on it. Of course every precaution is had
against fraud. Quite often woe-begone
piece of a note will be sent in, and after
the crucial test will turn out to be the
relic of counterfeit bill. Sometimes the
affdayits accompanying a fragment of
what was once a greenback are "manufac-
tured.n
One of the most remarkable cases that
has ever come before the redemption di,
vision occurred recently. A Nebraska
backwoodsman dropped his pocketbook
containing one hundred dollars, into the
campfire. Before he could get it out the
heat so acted on it that the book had
shrivelled up into hard burnt ball He
did not attempt to open it, but sent it or
with statement Of the facts. The ball
was cracked, just as hickory nut would
be in order to get at its contents. Inside
were found, intact and undamaged, tn,
twenty and ten-dollar bills that went t
make up the one hundred dollars.
A farmer living in Illinois distrusteG
the banks and always kept his money il
the house or about his person. A shor
time ago he had sll 900 in ready casl
and carried it in his coat pocket. ii,
went to bed, leaving his coat on chair
His wife complained Of the coldness 0
the room, and he got up TO stir the fire
He had been back in bed but short time
when the room was filed with smoke an,
the well-known odor of "some thing burn
ing" Hejumped up TO find his coat pocke
burnt out aud his sll 900 a charred mas.
Fortunately there was enough distinguish
able about the notes to secure him, upo
his sworn and attested affidavits of th
facts, new set complete.
A Tennesseean put S135 into boo
and secrcted his boot. When he wen
back for it he lost his bearings and coul
not find it. Six months afterward
stumbled across the old boot exactly wher
he had left it. The money inside ha
furnished nourishment for cockroache
and other yermin. A handful of smaI
pieces was all that was left to tell the tale
Sending them on to the treasury they wer
examined, and enough identified to Civ
the man $50.

The Aromatic Nutmeg.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which look
like little pear trees, and are generally
over twenty feet high. The fowcrs are
very much like the lily Of the valley.
They are pale yellow and very fragrant
The nutmeg is seed Of the fruit, and ma ce
is the thin covering over this seed. The
fruit is about as large as peach. When
ripe, it breaks open and shows tie little
nut inside. The trees grow on the islands
Of Asia and in tropical America. They
bear fruit for seventy or eighty years,
having ripe fruit upon them at all seasons.
A 6ne tree in Jamaica has over four thou
sand nutmegs on it yearly. The Dutch
used to have all the nutmeg trade, as they
owned the Banda Islands, and conquered
all the other traders and destroyed the
trees. To keep the price up, they once
burned three piles Of nutmegs, each Of
which was as large as church Nature
did not sympathise with such meanness
The nutmeg pigeon, found In all the In
dian Islands, did for the world what the
Dutch determined should not be done
carried these nuts, which are their food
into all the surrounding countries, and
they grew again, and the world received the
benefit.
The Democratic advocate., 1879-06-07

England was once considered a very
cheap country to live in, but it is so no
longer. An American family of three
was found there during the war sustaining
life on a shilling day for food; now Il
would be difficult to do that and not resort
to beggary. How could il be possible for
food to be cheap when most Of it is i'm
ported? House rent is lower than in New
York, but not much if any cheaper than
in the suburbs of New York. Coal
is about $500 the ton Of 1000 pounds
but is really much dearer than that, when
we consider that two tons Of anthracite
would outburn three tons Of bituminous.
There ought to be splendid opening for
American coaland stoves. Meat is higher,
ranging from eighteen to thirty.fve cents
pound. Bread is three cents a pound
aud is inferior in quality. The English
do not know how TO make good bread.
Eggs-mostly like the abarrelp eggs here
ARE thirty to thirty five cents DOZEN
