Very Cheap Compliance with Law.

The Lebanon Nc,os is responsible for the
following which is just as asapplcable around
this country, as elsewhere: What stupend-
Gus, inexcusable ignorance is displayed on
some Of the guide boards al the corner roads
in the country. A Netos reporter this
morning took drive to the country for the
benefit OF his health, and was astnnished
beyond measure over the ignorance dis
played by supervisors in putting n? guide
boards. Here are few samples; ITO Pint
CROFT mile" Ras~ "Pur hous, y neil"
~ "To jamestown @fore~ laO- NIL. O" "to
wader wurks-6ll NIL" This ignorance is
followed by trespass notice, "kno dress

This latter ignuramus must have an AYERS
ion to dresses passing over his "grount."
There is no doubt but that he lately receiy
Ell the "grand bounce" from some lady
school teacher. and in this way now expects
to eke out his revenge. With all the ienor

continue to vote for five months school.

The rurnhOlo Bridge and Glen onOkO.

The position of the Turnhole bridge, at
Glen Onnko was changed on Sunday last by
the Lehlgh Valley Railroad Company to
suit the new alignment and grade which
was fixed upon some time since to give bet
ter accommodation at Glen Onoko station.
The east end of the bridge Toward Mauch
Chunky was swung fye feet three inches
and the west end two feet nine inches.
This will give three feet additional to the
present platform and yet will allow another
platform to be erected on the west bound
track. The bridge consists of two spans,
each 1855 feet long. and weighing about
seventy 6ve tons. In moving it nine by
draulic jacks of fifteen and twenty tons
each were used. The work was begun at
a. IN. and was successfully carried through
by p. m. under the supervision of Walter
G. Berg, principal assistant engineer VIM.

branches, and L. II. Grant, foreman of the

Missing Nellio Cooley.

The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Miss Nellie Cooley, Wilkesbarre,
who left her Unc'e's on the night of the Sth
of December last, since which time nothing
had been heard Of her, was cleared up
Tuesday oy the finding Of her body in the
Susquehanna river at point about thirteen
miles below Wilkesbarre The body was
found floating in the water about tour feet
from the shore by a railroad laborer, who
will cllim the 81 900 reward offered tor the
recovery of the missing girl, dead or alive.
On the night Of her disappearance Miss
Cooley never appeared in better spirits land,
after budding the members of her family
good night, retired to her room After all
the inmates were asleep Miss Cooley lett
the house by the back door. She wore
nothing but her night clothes and pair Of
sliIpers,as other wearing apparel was found
in the room the next morning. A great
storm was raging and the weather was Bit
terly cold. II is supposed that she crossed
the street to the banks Of the Susquehanna,
which is only a stones throw from her
Uncles paatial residence, and deliberately
threw herself into the water. She was not
missed till the next morning, when her
failure TO put in an appearance at breakfast
caused alarm aud a sea rch OF her room fail
ell to find her The alarm was at once
given. The police made a thorough search
of the whole city aud the river was drag
ged, but to no purpose. Her uncle then
offered a reward OF tl 900 for recovery dead
or alive, and detectives in the large cities
were notified. The only cause assigned
for Miss Cooley's suicide is that her mind
became affected by overstudy. She would
spend hours away into the night in her
room reading and, though wsrn.d by her
physician to desist, she paid no sttention to
it. On the night previous to her disappear
ance she left the following note; Goodbye;
| YOU will see me no more"

4ealtb sermon-oNotbipp but a Cola y

Health Sermon Nothing but Cold !"
"Oh, II Is nothing but a cold" was the
reply Of a young lady, after a funeral the
other day when interrogatei by a friend as
to her ailment All, little did she know
that such cold, if neglected, might cause
those ruddy cheeks to pale and that plump
little body to enanciate and fill an early
grave. She dill not know that the subject
of the funeral she had attended, had been
told not more than twelve months ago by
her physician, that she should take good
care of herself, that she had q bad cough
that might lead to consumption. Every
experienced medical practitioner will tell
you that il is impossible TO say, in any
given case, where a cold will end, for very
slight causes will increase it, and cold
once taken, until fully recovered from, will
render predisposition to take more.
A striking and most instructive example
Of these statements is found in the case of
Nicholas the First. the Emperor Of all the
Russias. For more than year before his
death, his confidential medical adviser oh.
served that in consequence Of the Emperor
"not giving to sleep the hours needed for
restoration, his general yigor was declining
aud that exposures which he had often en-.
countered with impunity, were making
uniavorabe impressions on the system that
he had less power of resistance. At lengtl >
while reviewing his troops on January
day, he took severe cold, which at once
excited the spprehensions of his watchiul
physician, who advised him not TO repeat
his review.
"would you make as much of my illness
it were a common soldier" asked the
Emperor in tore of good natured pleas.
antry.
"Certainly, please your majesty. we
should not allow a common soldier to leave
the hospital it he were in the state in which
your majesty is"
"Well, you would do your duiy-I will
do mine" And the exposure was repeated
with the result of greatly increasing the
bad effects of this original cold, Dd he died
IN week afterwards.
In referense to colds, can ounce Of pre-
yention IS worth a pound Of cure" and
when once contracted, should never he

tion, that neglected cold invariably leads
to consumption, and every one knows
where that leads. Take walk in your
cemetery, with your family physician, let
him tell you .he cause of the recent deaths

number o! freshly dug graves that he
will point out to you that contain the re-

for desirable brands. The prices for forge
iron, except for the best makes, are weak
Some sales have been made at $l7 deliver
