Mr.. w. B, Astor:

Mr.. W. B. Astor:
Dear Sir-I fear there is plot to cause you some
injury, as two individuals have called on me to-day
and have offered me 5000 to have the liberty to
set fire to the house that occupy. And they want
me to go to Willianlsburgh. and stay on Saturday,
and remain all night; and they say l can collect
my insurance; and they will do all they wish in
my absence. They were very good looking men,
one about SO, the other about 20 years of age
perhaps you may have some clue to them. told
them would give them an answer on Friday, as
they said that was the day they would call for an
answer; and they told me in case l ever made this
known, that could not live five hours, as it would
come to their ears Immediately Were it not for
this should have given my name in full l can
only say be on the look out for some one has got
grudge against you; for they said you was to lose
all of your fine houses and property by fire, and
your lives by poison, and other means they had
provided for you. They said that powder was cheap
and that it could be used as successfully in blow
ing up houses as it could be in blowing up ships.
Now, in the name of heaven, do see to it, and do
not say word about this letter, as I may lose my
life by it. From true friend. TENANT

New York Cry NoM1NAT1oNs.-The Wings of
New York have nominated William ". Brady for
reelection to the Office of Mayor of the city
The Courier and Enquirer, speaking of Mr. Brady,
says
"Mr, Brady is peculiarly qualified by long expe-
where his acquaintance with the municipal affairs
and the finances of the city would enable him to
render such valuable services; and the unanimity
with which the nomination was rendered to him
is the last evidence of the appreciation in which his
former services were held by the committee"

THE EPIDEMIC IN WORCESTER COUNTY, Mass
1t has already been stated that an alarming disease
existed at Millbury and Sutton called by some the
spotted fever and by others the cholera A post
mortem examination of one who recently died,
shows according to communication in the Wor-
cester Spy) that the disease is what is called by
scientific men cerebro spinal meningitis, or in COM
mon language, Inflammation (of one or more) of the
membranes investing the brane and spinal marrow.
Its likeness to the spotted fever the cholera is
only its likeness to all diseases which make sud-
den and profound impression upon the nervous sys-
gone to suppuration the forming of purient matter
A milder form would constitute what is called
dropsy of the brain. A similar epidemic prevailed
to fnghtful extent among the soldiers of the
French army in 1882
