J., of Mr. Eckerson. The Patterson Guardian gives the following additional facts: A neighbor who was engaged holding Mr Eckerson after the symptoms of hydrophobia began to manifest itself, gives a touching incident of the last scenes. Just before his death, while temporarily releived from violent spasmodic struggles, Mr. Eckerson desired to see his wife before his bealh. Requiring from four to six men to hold him all the time, of course it was not prudent, his wife being ill in the other room, and even if he were able, it was thought his dreadful condition, held by men all the while to preventkinstant injury from his sudden fits or spasms, might make her worse. He begged and continued to entreat them to let him look upon his wife once more before he died, and finally his friends and neighborscould hold out no longer, and consented to take him to her, he expecting to die in the next spasm, which he knew would not be long delayed. He carefully wiped oft the froth which was foaming all the while from his mouth, lest any of it should get upon her, and closing his lips tightly with a desperate effort, was borne to her bed-side. Bending down his lips met those he had so often kissed in joy, love and holy affection. And then with one long look upon a (ace he well knew he ought not to ask to gee again, be bade her a last adieu. The strong men who gazed upon the scene wept like children as they saw the dying man, who with lips still compressed, signified the necessity of being removed again from her presence, and was then ready to die. Shortly afterwards, in renewed paroxysms of the dreadful complaint, death came to his relief. il vicinity.

The man who addresses his communication to A. B.

The information we desire to impress upon the popular mind, especially concerns the advertisers in the public press. Many miscellaneous advertisements—such as "Wants," or "Lost," and "Found" notices—simply bear the initials of the advertisers, and in very many of these instances the address is not to the newspaper,but to some box in the postoffice. Such advertisers may be certain that not a single reply to them will ever reach them. The paper, must be directed to the name and not to the initial or now de plume of the recipient.

I had a dim suspicion—I know not bow it came, or upon what it rested—that Miss Gardner had passed through the ordeals of what the French call an affair of the heart. About the middle of July my suspicion was verified by the appearance of a dark-complexioned cavalry captain, who registered his name on the tavern's record as plain John Smith. This interloper on my rightful domain no sooner established himself, than he commenced courting the schoolmistress with all hi* military might and ferocity. His advent brought home to me tho knowledge that I had a deeper feeling for Miss Gardner than mere regard. I met them one moonlight night, returning from a drive along the beach; and as they rolled past, a great tbrob in my heart told me that henceforward there was to be a great struggle for victory between myself and the cavalry captain. Thus matters stood at present, and I turned them over in my mind aa I waded through the clover-tops and crossed the long meadow below the house. «' It was a sunny, dreamy day in August The elms along the road drooped their branches listlessly in the heat and the sun shone like a silver shield. The captain had gone fishing and I had taken advantage of this glorious opportunity to ask the little schoolmistress to go rowing with me. She assented, for it was her halfholiday ; and so we had rowed leisiOTly around the point to the beach, where we had just now found the crab, and where incredible as it may seem, she had actually called me a dear.
