Messrs. Editors:
We wish you would call the attention
of your readers to the Home Industry
Store. It has a fine assortment of Sum
mer Clothing, ready made, which is
offered at very low’ rates, and the poor
widow and orphan need the encourage
ment here afforded them when ever sale
of goods authorize more to be prepared.
My attention was particularly called to
the subject yesterday, by hearing a poor
woman say, that, in consequence of dull
sales, the agent of the Home Industry
Society was giving out no work, and she
and others were suffering.

Small Pox.^— We have the pleasure of
informing our friends and patrons, that
there has been no other case of small
pox in the City, since the one we spoke
of last week. We now have but little
apprehensioil of its breaking out in the
city, and request ottr country friends to
be under no alarm whatever. Indeed,
we have seen but few, if any, from the
interior, that have expressed any fear in
visiting Hamburg; and find that we
have done exactly right in giving prompt
notice of the first case. Reliance can
now be placed on our statement; where
as if we had concealed the matter, as is
the practice of a large majority of edit-1
ors, it would have been worse for us and |
the city generally.
We shall, as before, tell the truth
whenever the like happens again, without
fear or favor, for our support comes from
the country, and there our interest shall 1
be strictly guarded.— Hamburg Journal.
Death by Lightuing.
The Milton (Pa.) Register, of last Sat
urday, relates the following affecting in
cident :
“ A few miles from Williamsport Ly
‘ coming county, a family, consisting of
‘ a father mother, and four children were
‘engaged in family devotion on the Sun
* day evening. The father and mother
‘ were both killed by lightening, while
‘ the four children were preserved un- 1
‘ harmed.”
We know nothing of the family thus
visited—their very name is withheld.
Nor is it, indeed, of much consequence;
for, perhaps, in the place where a portion
of them have gone, and the rest were be
ing prepared to go, “a new name is giv
en which ho man knoweth.” But the vis
itation is refnarkable, as Well for the cir
cumstances in wftifch' the family Was
' found as for the effect which is oroduced.
The Sabbath had passed away—the
pious duties of the sanctuary had been
performed. And when the sun had
gone down and darkness had covered the
earth, and the spirit of the elders »as in
vited to contemplate, and the hearts of
the little ones shrunk in the gloom, then
it was that the devotion lighted up her
fires for the evening sacrifice.
The scene is beautiful, as imagination
draws it by such aid as we have above
—beautiful without adventitious orna
ments. The larger of the gentle flock
had kneeled in consciousness of duty.
The mother was bending over the little
one, whose mind had yet conceived but
crudely the idea of the object of worship,
save that He Mas the father even of her
father and of all; and on bended knee,
with the palms of her hands in contact,
and her tiny fingers laid together, and all
resting on her mother’s lap, she and the
rest Were in the influences of the good
man’s prayers, and the broad flashes of
lightning that played upon the visages
of the worshipping congregation seemed
to awake new fervor in the leader of the
evening’s devotiom
Solemn and earnest was the emphasis ■
of the father when he said “deliver us
from evil,” for the flash of lightning, the
crash of thunder, and rattling of the shat
tered house, made the “amen” of the
worshippers die aw ay in a shriek of des
pair.
When the children rose froth amid the
wreck around them, there Mas no voice
to sootho their fears, no breast upon
which to pillow the head, no lap upon
which they could rest their hands folded
in prayer. “ Who will take care of us
now',” would be the first exclamation of
the elder and most thoughtful, “ now
that mother and father arc gone ?” And
the answer would be found in the breath
ing of the least of the flock, who, half
stunned by the appalling event, would
continue to repeat the M’ords she was ut
tering when the tempest broke, “ Our
Father who art in heaven.”
Thus across the storm which has pros
trated that upon which they had leaned
for support, the light of consolation is
poured ; and where despair was marked,
the bow of promise sprung.— U. S. Ga
zette.
The London Times, —This extraordi
nary journal which possesses a more ex
tensive establishment than any other in
the world created no little stir in political
circles some years since, by a sudden
change of politics. On one day it was
Whig, on the next Tory. The price
paid for the transmutation of this power
ful engine was <£lßo,ooo.
The advertisements of the Times in a
single day frequently exceed £IOOO, and
every one is paid before insertion. Un
like the papers of the Continent it has no
subscribers; it supplies the News Agents,
and they the public; There are two
powerful stearri engines on the premises,
and the impressioh is made by double
cylinder presses. Its circulation is the
largest in the world; there is not a town
on the civilized earth, in which the Times
may not be found. Its reporters are to
be met with in all the quarters of the
globe, accompanying the expedition in ;
China, arid participating in the toils and ■
dangers of the Indian campaigns. It has |
correspondents in eVery land. Its ex- j
presses have traversed the desert, and an
ticipated the Indian Mails. Its agents
are in every court, and it lays bare their
most secret proceedings. Mr. John
Walter the late Member for Nottingham
is the principle proprietor, and he drawj
j from it a yearly revenue of £BO,OOO.
It had formerly three regular editors,
Messrs. Barnes, Lawson, and Delane, be
sides a large corps of occasional writers.
Since the death of Mr. Barnes, this num
ber has been increased.
DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT^
To prevent Moulding in books,
1 ink, paste, and Leather. —Collectors
of books Will not be sorry to learn that
a few drops of the oil of lavender will en
sure their libraries from this pest. A
single drop of the same oil will prevent a
pint of ink from mouldiness for any
length of time. Paste may be kept from
mould entirely by this addition; and
leather is also effectually secured from
injury by the same agency.
To cleanse the Teeth and im
prove the Breath. —To four ounces of
fresh prepaired lime water add one
drachm of Peruvian bark, and wash the
teeth with the water in the morning be
fore breakfast and after supper, tt will
effectually destroy the tartar on the teeth f
and remove the offensive smelt arising
from those decayed.
—
Cure for Worms. —Butternut syrup i
one table spoonful; composition two
table spoonsfuls; castor oil one table
spoonful. Give in small doses until re;
lief is obtained.
A cure for the ear Ache.— Take
a large onion, bore a hole two-thirds
through, large enough to contain a table i
spoonful of sweet oil; roast and press out
the juice, add a little laudanum, u-et a ;
little cotton with the liquid, and put it in !
the car.
'
To PREVENT THE SMOKING OF A Lamp, j
—Soak the wick in strong vinegar, and
dry it well before you use it. It will then
burn both sweet and pleasant, and give
much satisfaction for the trifling trouble
in prepairing it.
