improvements in his hotel.

A fine monument is now on eXhi
bition at Deininger & Musser's Mar
bic Works. 1t is the first white bronze
work in the monumental line in this
part of the county, and is very beau
tiful and yet chaste piece OF art. The
emblems and ornamentations are in
good taste and excellent workmanship,
making altogether just such a memoir
ial as loving friends desire to mark the
last resting place of departed members
Of the family.
The monument was ordered 10y John
G. Motz, Esq, and sisters, and will be
erected at the graves Of their parents,
St. Paul's Church, Haines township.
| DIsTRESsING ACCIDENT.--Mrs. A
dolph Miller received letter from her
nephew, Mr.. +. o. Metzger, now at
Philadelphia, but well known here,
which states that his younger brother
Henry had the misfortune to have both
his limbs cut off while on duty as a
brakesman on q western railroad.
Amputation was of course necessary,
but there is hope that he may recover.
Henry will be remembered Ly our peo-
pie as a little boy, and will have much
sympathy among his former friends in
his great distress.
In speaking of the reading of news
papers in public schools the Lock Haven
Democrat very fittiugly says
In some of the public schools Of the
State newspapers are used rs readers.
In view of this fact it has been inQuir-
ed what effect the publication of Dukes
letters is likely to have on the minds
of the young. The question is very
natural one. The letters, though to-
tally unfit for publication, and which
can only have deba3ing effect on the
mind, have been spread out before the
readers of many journals which claim
to be conserYators of the highest NOR
ality. THE DEMOCRAT did not print
them because they were regarded as too
obscene for publication.

LOOK TO THE CELLARs.-The Pa
triot in speaking of malaria so prevalent
in Harrisburg traces the prime cause
to badly ven tilated cellars. What the
Patriot says of Harrisburg cellars de.
serves no doubt Juuch wider applica-
tion. Cellers as now kept or rather
neglected, are fruitful source Of dis
ease and death, whether people are a.
ware Of the fact or not. But with
good ventilation and an occasional little
flame fire the danger will be much les
sened If not entilely neutralised. The
Patriot says
The noble and beautiful Susquehanna
river is uBjustly accused of being the
cause of much sickness in Harrisburg.
All Of the so called malarlal diseases
that it is alleged prevail here are attri-
buted to the influence of the river on
the atmosphere.
Perhaps, if Harrisburg is such an un-
healthy place, which is so be doubted,
some other and more potent causes NAV
be discovered 1t may be just possible
that the people themselves are to blame
| for a good deal of the sickness that pre-
walls. Let people look to their cellars.
Very few houses in Harrisburg are built
| over ventilated cellars. Fewer still
have paved easements. The cellars are
damp and in many cases Improperly
