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. AUGUSTA PRICES i S' & CURRENT, | S; Carefully Corrected Weekly.
