WHEN Lew Purnell was taken before
ESQUIRE Fowler a few weeks ago upon the
complaint of a gentleman from Philadel-
phia, who was induced to withdraw the
charge, the CHRONICLE did not hesitate
to condemn the part taken by few gem
tlemen who did not understand the affair
On several occasions since, encouraged
and enboldened by the above result, Pur-
nell has been seen by many people TO
solicit men, On Saturday night last he
approached two young men who were
strangers to him, and solicited them for
an immoral purpose. He succeeded in
getting twenty-five cents from each one
of them. when he made off and boosted OF
how he fooled two strangers. The CHRON-
IcLE has the evidence to convict and the
Law and Order Society can get 1t, for the
asking This thing should be broken up
at once and this man Purnell IS the
proper Que to begin on, as he IS the worst
one in the town. We heard a prominent
citizen say he would furnish the tar If
someone else would furnish the feathers,
when another prominent gentleman re-
piled that he had an old feather bed that
he would cut open and give for the pur-
pose. There is some talk of resortln9 to
The combination of these two ingredients
aud freely using them UPON this black
brute. While the CHRONICLE does not
Justify illegal means it well remembers
what salutary effect a good coat Of tar
and feathers put upon a negro in Milford
twenty years ago, lad. Purnell is a brute
and the LAW and Order Society will not
be doing its dpsy if it does not accept the
evidence the CHRgONIcIE offers and pros

Geo. P. Rowell & Co, of New York, the
publishers of the American Newspaper Di-
rectory undertake to rate newspaper circula-
lions very much as the mercantile agencies
report the capital and credit Of the business
community. About one publisher In ten
tells his exact issue with truthful precision.
Some Of tile other nine decline to tell the
facts because they assert thar those who do
tell are in the habit Of living. Rowell & Co,
after an experience Of more than twenty
years. have come to the conclusion that this
view cannot be sustained. In the twenty
third annual issue of their book, issued in
April, they designate every paper that is
rated in accordance with detailed state
ment from the publisher, and offer 10 paw a
hundred dollars for every instance which
can be pointed out Of a miss;atement for
which a publisher is responsible. The
CHRoNIcLEis one Of the papers that is will

Human Instinct.

So powerful is human Instinct, that some
Of its suggestions become embodied il
social and household customs. The people
know and feel that at the beginning Of the
spring season the system needs an Alternative
aud purifying tonic and stimulant. In all
parts ofthe country ii is the custom for the
housewife to dose her brood with sassasfras
tea, Among the simple remedies that our
ancestors employed, this decoction has con-
unued TO hold its own. The demand for a
spring Alternative and tonic, however, is filed
more efieaciously by S, S. S., which is itself
as simple as NATURES remedial medicine
should be, 1t puri6es the blood, cleanses
and strengthens the system, and prepares
the human machine 20 stand the wear and
tear Of the summer months.

to stale that the ice will be delivered through
out the summer at The present rates, and no
matter what the outside demand may be,
We will take care of the town trade.
