An Epidemic The Huntington Globe
says: A disease, something.simiar to the
whooping cough, is prevailing among ma
ny of the children in this borough and vi
cinity, and some have died from the effects.
On Sunday week, five children were lying
dead from this disease, and since then a
number more have died, and the total with
in three weeks may be estimated, twenty
two. The symptoms of the disease are a
cough, which brings up q greenish phlegm,
and if this is not removed, it goes back
and settles upon the lungs causing infama-
tion, and the child at this stage seldom re-
covers. One of our physicians informs us
that the number he has already treated for
the different forms of this disease would
reach about two hundred of this number
eight have died so that it would appear
the infection has spread with great rapidity.
A child attacked with this malignant dis
case should be at once placed under the
care of physician, as if left to continue
the chances for its recovery are greatly less
cned.

HARRISBURG, March 10, 1877


Mr.. Editor Somewhat of mixed bust
ness has been done by the Legislature du-
ring this week, but nothing of special inter
est to any one has occurred. In the Senate
quite an exciting scene was occasioned by a
little fillibustcring by some Of its members.
Some even refused to vote on a question
because of the ruling of the speaker on a
certain question adversely to the wishes Of
some of the members. The Jersey Shore,
Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway Bill, it is
understood, was at the bottom Of the trou-
bic. The bill was sent to the governor and
returned by him on account of some in
folnality. 1t is yet in the hands of the
Senate. The Diamond Watt case is not
finally disposed of yet. In the House no
bills of general Importance were passed.
The day for final adjournment is fixed for
April 7th, by both Houses, and considerable
lobbying during the remaining days of the
session may be anticipated Many bills of
private character are yet back upon the
calendar of both Houses awaiting action
and only those that have the influence of
powerful friends can expect to succeed at
! this late day. " ti.f PHIL.

SnERMANsDALE, March, 81, 1870.


Mr. Editor--In your last issue | noticed
an error which your correspondent made in
regard to the Blohr case. Mr.. Dukes did
not, as your reporter said, remove the body,
but left it in charge of the Coroner in Har-
risburg to he buried by the city authorities
and requested that the grave be marked.--
This case still remains a mystery. Mr..
Blohr having represented that he had con-
siderable money and owned two estates in
West Virginia, and claimed to have an in
terest in the proposed Shemans Valley
Railroad, known as the South Pennsylvania
Railroad. He came to our neighborhood
last fall and was not here long until all knew
him as a kind, obliging and agreeable gen.
tleman and the news of his death, by his
own hand, cast gloom over our communi-
ty. No papers or money and not even his
watch were found upon his person after his
death, and there seems to be no money in
the banks where he claimed to deal. it is
supposed that he had in some speculation,
and probably was robbed besides, in Har-
risburg. When the mystery is solved you
win hear from us again. BOB.

Found Dead.-The Carlisle Herald says;
can unknown man was found, late on
Sunday evening, on the turnpike, about
one mile east of Mount Rock, in dying
condition. He had been at house in the
neighborhood about one hour before, and
asked for some milk to drink, which was
given him. While there he stated that he
had two daughters living in Harrisburg,
and was on his way to visit them, and
wished to reach Carlisle that night. His
body was brought to town on Monday
morning, and deposited in the Jail, Cor
oner Smith being notified summoned a

this section for a long time. Many houses

were blown down. The snow and sleet OF
