HEALTH ALPHABET,


The Ladies' Sanitary Association, of
London, gives the following simple rules
for keeping health:
As soon as you are up shake blanket
and Sheet
R-etter be without shoes than sit with
wet feet;
Children, il healthy, are active, not
still;
Damp beds and damp clothes will both
make you i'll;
Eat slowly and always chew your food
F--reshen the air in the house where you
dwell;
Garments must never he made too
tight;
Homes should be healthy, airy and
light;
If you wish to be well, as you do, I've
no doubt;
just open the windows before you go
out;
Keep your rooms always tidy and
clean,
E.-et dust on the furniture never be
seen.
M-uch illness is caused by the want of
pure air;
Now, to open the windows be ever your
care;
Old rags and old rubbish should never
be kept,
P-eoplc should see that their floors are
we'll swept.
Quick movements in children are
healthy aud right;
Remember, tho young cannot thrive
without light.
Sec that the cistern is clean to the
brim
Take care that your dress is all tidy
and trim;
Use your nose to find IL there be bad
drain;
Very sad are the feyers that come in
it's train;
walk as much as you can without feel
ing fatigue;
X-erxes could walk full many league.
Your health is your wealth, which your
wisdom must keep;
Zeal will help good causc, and the
good you will reap.

Postal Notes and Money Orders.

Postal Notes and Money Orders.
The new postal notes, for sums less
than five dollars, are now on sale at the
post Office in this city. People should un-
derstand that there is not the same Sc
curity in the use of these notes that there
is III money orders. AS the postal notes
are payable to any one into whose hands
they may fall, persons who buy them
stand the same chance of losing them
through the mails that they do should
they enclose money. No duplicates can
be issued. With a money order it is diff.
ferent The money order can be paid only
to the person to whom it is sent or on his
order and if the order is lost or stolen,
a duplicate may be issued. The postal
note is simply convenient way of send
ing small sums at small cost % cents and
which does not require the personal pre-
sence of the receiver at the post office in
order to collect it. Itmay be passed from
hand to hand as money, only it must be
collected at the money order post office
which is drawn upon, within three months
from the last day of the month of issue.
1t is an incorrect impression that m oney
orders will not hereafter be issued for
less sums than five dollars. They will
continue to be issued from any sum from
one cent up to one hundred dollars. Tho
cost of u money order, however, is greater
than for postal note, the fee being eight
cents for an order up to $40

LETTER FROM RINGOES.

LIMOGES, N. j., sept. 4, 1850
Our friend, Charles r. Nightingale,
spent few days among his friends in our
village, last week. He will have charge
of the Public School at Changewater, for
another year.
Miss Mary A. Reading, a much respect
ed young lady of this vicinity left our
village last Saturday morning, with the
intention Of spending year in the Fec

lie enjoys good health, as is evident from
his appearance. Our people were glad to
see him.
AS the hot days Of summer are about
over and our citizens can find time to sit
down and mediate without extra cxer-
ton we trust some thought will be given
to the dilapidated condition of our plank
walk Won't some of our entcrprising (?)
citizens start ''boom' for new walk ?
They certainly could not engage in bet
ter work.
The s'Sunflower' still stands and our
people will soon begin TO think that it
will be an everlasting stand, too, unless
some move toward repairing or remodel
ing it is shortly made. We are told, how
ever, that work will begin on it as soon as
the round house at Lambertyile is finish
ed. We hope this time will come before
winter sets in.
The shipment of peaches from our sta
ton, is on the increase. The shipments
have been already good thus far. The
commission merchants of N. Y. city, who
had so much to say last season, about the
arrival of the peach train, containing
baskets from this station, have found thai
untruthfuness and bulldozing, don't
work worth cent with our people. No
complaint is made by them this season.
Everything in our village seemed com
pletely covered with dust last week. The
least stir in the road would raise cloud
of dust that would blow into the faces OF
pedestrians travelling our streets and fit
into the open windows and doors of our
residences and make the maid twice as
much work on sweeping day as is usually
required. The fine, although light rain
of Sunday night, has settled the dust and
travelling may be resumed with some sort

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY There
were some disguised New Jersey Repub-
Leans when they read Dorsey's allega-
ton that $50, 900 has been spent by the
National Republican Committee in New
Jersey during the campaign of 1880.
They recall the time when they vainly be-
sought from the National Committee the
aid which they could legitimately demand
of that organization, and were told that
it was favor to be permitted to engage
some speakers of reputation without the
interference of the National organization.

On Tuesday noon of last week, the
dwelling house belonging to the estate of
the late Ashbel WEIGH, at Raven Rock,
bulls Island), was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was given but the entire
building was consumed. The house was
situate very near the railroad and the
roof being shingled it took fire from
spark from a locomotive drawing coal
train. William Sine, an old employee of
the railroad company, was the tenant, and
his household goods were all saved with
the exception of the clothing of his daugh-
tiers and few other articles.

The British Parcels Post is attracting
favorable attention in this country. The
same system has been in operation in
Germany and Austria for years, and has
lately been introduced into France. II
is pronounced most convenient and
popular system, being cheaper for small
packages than our express service. In
Germany the rate are for " zones dis
tances within 100 miles so much, l0l to

small that uniform rate is practicable,

should be introduced in this country; ii
would Immediately prove very valuable
and popular.

Nature has resolved that all the people
shall not enjoy themselves at once. With

portion. Whether this form of catarrh is
called hay-fever, hay cold, rose-cold or

The peach season will be 4 profitable
one for farmers in this vicinity. The
prices obtained for good stock consigned
to New York range from rs cts. to $3.50
per basket. while inferior and forced
stock sells for from 80 to 80 cts. per
basket. Mr.. W. F. Holcombe, of Mt. Airy,
has the finest stock that we have seen this
season. lie cultivates his trees and fer
tilizes them, and consequently his trees
are healthy and bear no forced or fuzzy
fruit. The increased prices received for
his crop well pay for the trouble.

out the several counties adjoining that
Bucks where he has for long time re.
sided, passed away on Thursday evening
week before last, at his home about mid
way between Milford and Frenchtown on
the Pennsylvania side Of tho river Only
a few days before, his wife, Mrs Sheridan,
was laid to rest and at that time few sup
posed that in so short space of time
they would also hear the announcement
of the death of Mr.. S. He was not feel
ing very well the day of the funeral of his
wife, but since that time he gradually
dropped until the time above stated when
he passed away. Mr.. Sheridan was true
Irshman. He was born in the county Of
Meath, situated in the northern part of
ireland, and came to this country about
1913. He took up his residence with his
uncle, Patrick McVany, on the place
where he has SO long lived. At the death
of Mr.. McVany, Mr.. Sheridan fell heir to
the entire estate. Mr.. s. was appoin ted
to position in the custom house at Phil
adelphia, under John w. Forney, where
he remained for some time. He at one
time ran for County Treasu rer of Bucks
county, but was defeated by his opponent
named Shellenberger. He leaves four
children, all Of whom live at home. They
are John, James, Bridget and Annie.
Mr.. s. by his kind disposition and jovial
nature, made many friends, who will re-
greet to hear Of his sudden demise. His
funeral took place on Monday of las,
week, from the IIaycock church, where
the requiem mass was celebrated. Inter.
ment in the Haycock cemetery. Milford

street Paving.

street Paving.
In conversation, day or two since,
with Col. d. s. Lodor, Of Trenton, who is
we'll posted in street paving, he told us
that the most popular system of paving
now in vogue is asphalt blocks. These
blocks are made of uniform size, and
make pavement as smooth as floor,
and the pavement is comparatively noise
lcss. They can be laid for only slight
advance over Belgian blocks, the price be-
ing 80. so per square yard for the entire
work. They are probably not quite as
durable as stone, but their cleanliness,
noiselessness, and the ease with which they
can be taken up and replaced when gas
or water pipes need looking after, render
them far superior to stone. Cannot our
authorities be induced to put down sec
ton, as trial?
