The i eer hunting season opened
yesterday morning, and for the next
twenty days the woods will be filled
with hunters. A thousand licenses
have been.issued by County Clerk N.
NJ. Oscar, and more than that number
of men will be hunting for deer this
season. If al. of them should get at
least one deer they would perhaps
be very well satisfied, but the num-
Der of dissatisfied ones always ex-
coed the number who are satisfied
with results. It is unlawful to sell
venison in the market, SO that about
the only way to get any will be to
90 out and kill it for yourself. A
large number OF people from around
town have been making their
pilgrimages to the forests and many
of them hope to make use of the tags
off their licences within the next
few days.

German Syrup

We want toimpress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is
positively the only preparation on
the market today that does relieve
and cure consumption. It contains
the specifice. such as pure tar. ex-
tracts OF gum, etc, ETC., which have
been SO highly endorsed for the cure
of coughs, colds and consumption
by the great medical congresses
The consumptive, whether his disease
is in the throat or lungs, must have
rest at night, aid be free from the
spasm of dry and racking cough in
the morning. The diseased parts
want rest, healing and soothing
tseatment, and the patient needs
fresh air, good food, etc, German
Syrup will give free and easy ex-
pectoration in the morning with
speedy and permanont relief, Sinai

Cannon and Economy.

Hon. Joseph Cannon, speaker to
be OF the house of the fitty-eighth
congress, has reiterated his an
nouncement that the extra and
regular sessions of congress are to
be distinguished as economical ones
AID that the house will firmly resist
the tendency of the senate to ex-
travagant increases of the appropria-
tion bills.
Mr.. Cannon is certainly justified
in sounding this warning, aside from
any political exigency of the domin-
ant party requiring retrenchment in
expenditures before the general
election. The decrease of revenue
receipts during tie first four months
of the present fiscal year, as COM
pared with the corresponding period
of the previous fiscal year aggregates
81, 49,, 1862, and the current year fell
to less than $500, 600 few days ago.
|. o. course the surplus figures will
gcow larger, but common sense eau
tion demands shat congress may ex-
pect reckless appropriations to breed
deficits instead of big SURPRISES.
which are strong temptation to ex-
travagance such as is embodied in
some of the present propositions for
congressional action.
1t is we'll to remember, in this

Stronger than ever the republican

places. Only in New York City does a
republican machine-the corrupt or
