"A society for the prevention of scandal

"A society for the prevention of scand
has recently been organized in Prussia, b
which scandalous stories are traced an
their orginators prosecuted. There ar
other places, this side of Prussia, thi

to the scandal mouger, and neither shoul,
have place in refined and intelligen
society.

The readers of a newspaper should
make it point to patronize its advertisers,
for if it were not for their patronage the
subscription price would have to be
doubled in order to afford the publishers
any profit. Moreover those who are not
afraid to advertise their wares literally
must have faith in their value, and the
buyer can be reasonably certain of getting
a good article. The rule of shrewd adyer-
tisers is, first to be sure you have a good
article, then advertise liberally-Ex.
Prof. Neale, of the Delaware Expert
mental Station, Newark, visited Mr.. Wood
keeper, near Taylor's Bridge last week to
make an investigation of the cause of the
death of six COWS and two mules, supposed
to be from Anthrax, as stated in the TRAN
SCRIPT last week. He could not account for
the appearance of anthrax in that neigh
borhood unless it should have been from
dead carcass foated across the bay from
Cumberland county, N. j. where it is pre-
valent. He recommended burning the
animals where they died, when it could be
done; otherwise, bury without dragging
them over the ground. The smell is dan |
gerous. When buried, the place should |
be protected by fence or other means, from |
stock, for the space of three years. There |
is no treatment known to cure the disease |
and prevention is the only remedy.
