Many cases of cholera morbus are report.
ed in town, several as seriously i'll. This
is just the weather for it. The mornings
open cloudy and dull and when the sun
shines about midday the mercury goes up
to the nineties Too much attention can
not be paid to drains and cesspools about
the premises. Care should also be given
to clothing and diet during these weather
changes.
1t will afford a tolerable idea of the
amount of summer temperance drinks con-
sumed in this village-greater this year
than ever before-to note that in June and
July A. w. Higgins, the druggist, took
$1,000 for soda and mineral waters alone,
at five cents per glass, an average sale
of $50 glasses per day. This is the record
of the largest fountain in town, but
the whole amount of these refreshing bev-
erages can well be indicated from these
data. Higgins has the new and novel gen.
uine "Reunion" soda.
According to the town clerks record six

The eighth birthday of Master Guy, son
of Harley c. Tuttle, was made the occasion
yesterday of gathering of about seventy
of his young friends, at the residence of
his father-on the corner of Washington
and Court street. The young lads and
misses diverted themselves during the af-
ternoon in various games and sports. AT
seven o'clock rich and varied refreshments
were served, which seemed to be greatly
enjoyed by the young people. In the even
ing the grounds about Mr. Tuttles residence
were brilliantly illuminated with Chinese
lanterns, and the enjoyment of the party
went on more merrily until the seasonable
hour of nine o'clock, when they separated
with the universal remark of having had a
"good time" The occasion was one of
rare interest and will be long remembered
by Master Guys young friends
We hope our citizens, generally, will
prepare to illuminate their residences on
the occasion of the torchlight procession
tomorrow evening, as the procession viii

village residents. Let every building shine
out resplendent and eclipse, if necessary
the dazzling glitter of the torches.
