1t was on the 15tl day Of June, 1775,
that George Washington was chosen
Commanderin Chief Of the American
army. The next day he made his answer
to Congress- in which he declared that
he accepted the office, but that he would
take no pay. lie left Philadelphia on
his way to Boston June 81, escorted by
troop of horsemen, and accompanied by
Schuyler and Lee, who had ju,t been
made major generals by Congress- They
had gone about twenty miles when they
saw man on horseback coming rapidly
down the road 1t was a messenger ri
ding post haste to Philadelphia, and
carrying to Congress news of the battle
of Bunker Hill. Everybody was stirred
by the news and wanted to know the
particulars.
'Why were the Proyincials compelled
to re reat2' he was asked
1T was for want Of ammunition" " he
replied.
"Did they stand the fire Of the
regular troops?" asked Washington anxi-
ously.
"rhat they did, and held their own
fro reserve until the enemy was within
eight rods"
"Then the liberties of the country are
safe y exclaimed Washington. He re-
membcred we'll the scenes under Brad
dock, and he knew what a sight it must
have been to those New England farm
ers when a compact body Of uniformed
soldiers came marching up from the
boats at Charlestown. If they could
stand fcarlessly, there was stuff in them
for soldiers. st. N'choias

of AYERS CHERRY PECToRAL, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent Doses and

A RECENT study of the geology of
the Saguenay, by the Able La I lamme,
of Quebec, convinces him that the
abysmal gorge of that river owes its
depth to the simple action of the water,
continued through such long periods
that the canon of the Colorado is called
Iecent in comparison.

AYERS
Cherry PectOral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from triling or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

EXCURSION 10 CAPS Nav.

The Denny Bros, of the Susie Mccall, :
plying between Pennsgrove and Whining
ton, nave arranged for an excursion to
Cape May on Thursday next, 10th inst, on
the steamer Republic, leaving Pennsgrove
on the Mccall at $40, and transferring ex-
cursionists to the Republic in mid stream.
Returning, will arrive at Pennsgrove about
40, PM. The fare for adults for the
round trip is only eighty cents. Children
between six and ten half price. This is
one of the most enjoyable trips of the sea-
son, the ride down the river and bay being
worth the price. The tide will be right
both ways on the 10Th, enabling the
steamer to make fast time, and giving ex-
cnrsionists a longer time at Cape May
Point or to run over to the City II they
prefer. There are ample accommodations
and comforts ON the steamer, and our read
ers desiring a pleasant outing cannot find
a better one than this.

Foolish .JUIup.

Mr.. William Titus, of Arch street, Gam
den. engineer of the Philadelphia 4 Cam
den Ferryboat Arctic, started from Cam
den ON Sunday morning last with his two
children to visit the family of MIR. Ed
win Royal, at Sharptown. The children
were put in the right cars, which are cut
off at Woodbury. to go to their destination
without change, but for some cause un-
known, Mr.. Titus got on the forward part
of the train which goes to Cape May, and
did not discover his mistake until the train
was two squares south of Woodbury. sta
ton, where he jumped of the train and
was knocked scnseless. 1t was first
thought that he was dead, but he o re-
vived and commenced talking in a wild
manner, not knowing where or who he
was. Dir. IL. c. Clark. of Woodbury.,
was called, and after making a careful ex-
animation, found that there were no bones
broken or serious damage done further
than a few cuts on the face. He was re
moved TO his home. Altogether. it was a
very lucky fall for Titus, as had he jumped
a m later, he would have fallen on
the switch and ties. and more than likely
have been instantly killed.

Passing the public school house the other
day We popped in TO see o things We're
progressing, and found our esteemed mud
wasp" Samuel Goforth, busily engaged in
spreading the second GOA of plaster on the
lobby ceiling at $2.75 a day and find him
self. Sam wanted us to take the tools and
try our hand, which we did, and after
landing about a bucket full of mort" on
the back of our neck, and tearing off about
six square feet of the first coat in endeav-
oring to smooth down what we had acct
d~entally succeeded in making stick to the
ceiling, we concluded we didn't have to
work that day and gave up the tools. All
the same we can say we worked on the new

Sam refuses to pay MS our wages-we

These be the dog days when tradition
has it that it is unwholesome for the small
boy to go swimming, but all the same
the small boy goes swimming, when
and where it may belloove him. They are
called the dog days because the dog star
rises with the sun every morning, which is
more than we do by a large majority.
There's a dog in our neighborhood, how
ever, that stays up all night, watching for
the star or the sun or something, and if
he can find anything loose lying within
reach during the night he makes mince-
meat of it. That's how we happen to have
Il new hat this summer. Sometime when
we learn TO shoot off a gun and the dog is
around and we nave nothing else to do we
are going to massacre him if it costs us a
$1,000 bill.

Extending tie Special Delivery System

The postmaster general has issued an
order that a circular of instructions be sent
out to the postmasters, which will entirely
remodel the present regulations in regard
to the ten-cent stamp special delivery of
| letters. The bill that has been passed
by Congress in accordance with the recon-
mendation of the postmaster general, IN
stead of restricting this service TO offices in
towns of A, 900 inhabitants or more, extends
to every Office in the country, and to all
classes of mail matter as well as letters.
The postmasters are to receive eight cents
for each letter, and are to be allowed to
make what arrangements or contracts they
may desire to secure the prompt delivery
of this class of mail matter. 1t will not
be required that a force of carrier boys
should be maintained. The system Of
special delivery has met with much
favor, and it was thought that if the re-
strictions to its general introduction could
be removed, that it would grow in popular
use.
