daughter, aged thirty, were found near
Montrose Station, on the Deaw are,
Lackawana and Western Railway, this
morning. but not mangled by the trains

sufficient evidence to warrant the belief

lady's son, and his hired man, named
Irving. Daniel O'Mara Inherited some

Several most useful citizens are victims
OF the prevailing epidemic. The How.
ard Association have opened an orphan
asylum, which feeds nearly two.thirds
OF the population. The fever, beyond
question, tho doctors say, was imported
from Cuba. An appeal for relief from
President Il. 3. Simmons, says 700 are
sick. The peculiar character of the
disease requires skillful attention aud
nursing, I. Hundreds are without means
or employment. The destitution is as
heart.rending as the disease itself. We
feel that the great public heart will re.
spond to. this appeal, extosted by the
most dire necessity. Our own resources
are nearly exhausted, the wealthy are
broken down, and the poor are threat
: ened with actual starvation; the sick
and dying are about to be deprived Of
tho commonest comfort humanity can
offer them. We appeal not to our fell
!ow.countrymen. but to on. fellow-men,
for aid. "a -
