DR.. Stephen Smith, on the same subject,
Man is born 10 health and long life dis
ease is unnatural, death except from Ole
age, is accidental, and both are preventablc
by human agencies" This is almost mvaI
ably true of death resulting from heart dis
ease. Careless Over-exertion, intemperat,
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic O. Other
stimulants are generally the causes Of thi.
difficulty, and Indifference TO its progress re
suits in sudden death, or long sickness enu
ing in death. by the newspapers it can b,
seen that many prominent and hundreds o
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.

PATERSON, n. j., Dec. l9.-Not since the
the silk industry became the principal de
pendence of this city has there been so
widespread destitution in this city The
mills have either been idle or running on
short time for months and now many Of
the big mills have shut down until spring.
Other branches of business followed the
silk trade. The work at the locomotive
and structural iron works s almost at n
standstill The result is that those who
have been depending on those shops for
their living, and almost every one in Pat
crson has been, are now i'm want
The situation il growing desperate, and
steps have been taken to relieve the most
urgent cases. A committee of ministers,
merchants and manufacturers has been
formed, and will superintcnd the work of
relief They are meeting with consider
able success, although merchants and
manufacturers have difficulty in obtain
ing enough money to continue business
Besides furnishing food and clothing tC
the men out Of work, the committee will
provide coal stations in different parts Of
the city, and those needing fuel will bC
furnished. The organization of the com.
mittee has been made permanent until
spring, when it is hoped there will be a
resumption of business.
