Advice TO Consumntiycs.

The celebrated physician, DR.. Paul Mem
eyer, gives the following valuable sugges-
tions to persons suffering from lung aiiec-
tions: "The patient must with scrupulous
conscientiOusness insist upon breathing fresh
pure air, and must remember that the air OF
closed rooms is always more or less bad. . .
No man, however uncleanly, would drink
muddy, dirty water. A party which occu-
pies room for hours, breathing the same air,
might be compared to a party of bathers
drinking the water in which they bathe.
The patient must keep the window of his
bedroom open. Night air is fresh without
daylight. In close, crowded rooms, the
patient suffering from lung complaints
breathes consumptively;" BY taking these
precautions and using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases of lung
complaints would be cured in six months.
For cough and irritation of the lungs do not
always indicate the presence eofconsumption
although it may result in that disease, and
If consumption has already become deeply
seated in the system, this is the most efficient
course Of treatment that can be pursued out
side of any institution that provides special
facilities for the treatment of this disease.
DR.. Pierce's celebrated Invalids' Hotel is
such an institution. Send stamp for des-
criptive pamphlet containing also complete
treatise upon consumption, explaining its
causes, nature, and the best methods of treat
ing it, together with valuable hints concern
ing diet, clothing, exercise, etc., for con-
sumptves. Address Faculty of Invalids'
and Tourists Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y.

Druggist md Ph,sicinn

A physician, complaining bitterly about
dull times, went to his druggist to find out
the reason why, at this season OF the year,
his practice was not so extensive as formerly;
also, to find out what inducements his bro
ther medico offered to attract away his pa
tients lie was startled when his druggist
answered as follows: doctor, coughs and
colds are very prevalent, but every one is
purchasing HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUNp
AND TAR, and recovers so rapidly that there
is no necessity for calling in a physician.
Again, the reason that DR.. F., on -th
street, is having so many patients is owing
to the frankness he adopted in prescribing
in every case of Coughs, Colds, ETC., bottle
of HALE's HONEY OF HOREHoUND AND TAR,
and finding it successful, he had concluded
in future that all his patients, when troub-
led with any disease of the lungs, shall i'm
mediately commence taking HALE's HONEY
OF lIOREHOUND AND TAR"
The druggists advice was snapped, and
the almost discouraged physician now con-
sidered a successful practitioner. His claims
are based upon the virtues of the medicine
he adopts, which in all cases is HALE's Hon
Ely OF HOREHoUND AND TAR. Sold by all
druggists, Large size much the cheapest.

Another HTisnomer Case.

A young gentleman from the upper end
of the county pranced into the ADVOCATE
office a few days ago with an unreceipted
bill in his hand for overdue subscription.
We looked at him he glanced at us. At
last he said: "When l wrote you over a
year ago, ordering your to send me the AD
yOCATE, and signed my name as plain as the
nose on your lace,and that is saying good
deal, JAS. Bighead,' why have you con-
tinued ever since to print it on my wrapper
'J.i-m' instead? Now, needn't pay you
that subscription; l can file a plea in abate.
ment on the ground of misnomer. And,
besides, don't like to be called Jim, any
way" We said it very cautiously; "See
here, young man; is it your purpose to try
to crawlish out of paying me a dollar for
a years subscription? If so-and l give
you just one week to think of 1.-THE next
time you cross my path, I'll take you by the
nape Of the neck and the seat of your pants
and plunge you top-end foremost into the
Lehigh river. Now, mind you, that mis-
nomer dodge won't pass for one cent in Le-
highton." He vanished like a shadow,
Yesterday he wrote a letter, enclosing 50,
and sayingap6ogetically, that as be did not
wish to be baptized by immersion during
the present state of the thermometer, he has
concluded to square up, and renew his sub
scription for the current year. We have
corrected the name, and the case is settled.

suicide by ShOOting.

J. b. Kent, registered as coming from
Louisville, KY, was found dead in his room
at the American Hotel, Allentown, about |
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, having commit
ted suicide by shooting himself in the head
above the right ear. He arrived in town on
the Buffalo Express on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad at 1880 Saturday evening. Short
y after arriving at the hotel he went to his
room and must have committed the deed
about II o'clock, as some of the boarders
heard a report similar to that of a pistol shot
about that time, but, owing to the high
wind prevailing, they thought it was caused
by the opening of some of the shutters.
When found he was lying in pool of blood
in front of the bed. A silver-mounted sew
en-shooter was found by his side, with two
empty barrels. Sickness is supposed to have
been the cause of the rash act. His body
was removed to the county Alms-house
Sunday afternoon, where it was held for
Identification. Three dollars and seventy
cents in cash was found on his person. The
Mayor of Louisville, KY, was notified by
telegram.

A FaithIess Official.

A matter which for judicious reasons has
been keep from the public as much a posi-
bic for sevaral weeks, is the fact that Samuel
Sterrett, n tax-collector of Lansford borough,
had suddenly absconded to parts unknown.
An examination of his accounts developed
the startling fact that he was defaulter to
the amount of about 5000 to the borough
and 5000 to Herman Rebe, with whom he
had been engaged as a business partner in
western produce speculation. When finally
it became evident that the Astounding was
no myth, the facts were laid before District
Attorney Siewers, who at once began to
turn his attention to the matter of what
point of the compass the faithltss official
had taken in his flight. The past expert
bringing fugitives criminals from the coal
regions to the bar of justice, has placed in
his hand detective facilities from the meshes
of which it is no easy matter for a fugitive
to escape. And he was not long in divin-
ing that sterrett, probably remembering
the late Horace Greelys advice to young
men, had concluded to ego west" On
Monday of last week, Herman Rebe, who
is an officer of the Coal and Iron Police, be-
ing arped with the requisite warrants and
including requisiton from Gov. Hoyt on
the Governor of Illinois, started in pursuit
of his man. He found him witout much
searching in little town near the city Of
Galeno, ILL.,, arrested him, and Saturday
afternoon reached Mauch Chunk. He was
arraigncd before Justice Frisbie, on a
charge of embezzlement and larceny, and
entered bail in the sum of $1,000 for his
appearance at Court. 1t is understood that
the tax-defalcaton has been settled by his
bondsmen, and that he will claim that he
was copartner and not an agent of Her
man Rebc. 1t now appears that his alb
sconding was not so much to get away
with the cash in his possession, as to escape
a dilemma into which he had been lead
by an indlscreet relation with young
woman. He has always been considered
q man of irreproachable character.

Our spelling schools are now in full
blast.
February 22d, washingtons birthday
is the next legal holiday.
Three months ofthe public schools have
been taught at this place.
An infant of N. Serfass, near Trachs-
vile, was buried at the Jerusalem church
on Wednesday of last week.
The public sale Of the property Of IIar-
rison Snyder deceased, which took place on
Saturday last, was largely attended.
"A spelling school which was very large
ly attended, was held by Mr.. Ed. Roth, at
Centreville, on Wednesday evening.
Times still continue dull with us, but
we are looking hopefullyforward to a revival
of business with the opening offspring.
Geo. Kibler, who resides near Daniels
vile, Northampton county, paid visit to
his parents and friends here last week.
A merry sleighing party from Millport
was at this place one evening last week.
Rumor says they enjoyed the trip very
mush.
Robert Miller, teacher Of school No. g.,
held spelling school last friday evening,
to which all were invited. 1t was expected
that W. L. Kcmercr, Esq, Of Franklin,
would address the school.
-Sleighing was good last week, and our
farmers took advantage of it by bringing in
large amount of lime from Kunkletown,
Monroe county, but this week they are not
able to do so, as sleighing has become poor.
Charles Gildner thought that it was not
good for man TO "inhabit this bleak world
alone" and so has taken to himself better
half, the happy bride chosen being Miss
Annie Smith who resided near Kresgeville.
The ADVOCATE is anxiously looked for
each week until its arrival; and greater
number daily are beginning to feel that
when all the local and current news can, bv
the small outly of 81, be had for year, It
is the greatest folly to live in ignorance of
passing events. MERCURY.
