 Agreat and deadly afIliction has fallen upon family in Hotchkissville, that of the late Louis Taylor. Five or six of the members of this family have been suffering from typhoid fever in it's most deadly form. The father of the family, Louis Taylor, died April 9th, aged fifty one years. Isabelle, the eldest daugh- ter, aged 19 years, died April 9th. One or more others of the family are not eX- pected to live. A member of the family came home sick few weeks ago. and, it is supposed, communicated the terri ble disease to the others, though it is believed that malaria has been the pro life cause of the great disaster. The house stands, in part, over mill-pond, and when the factories shut off water at night, or there is high water from any cause, the water eddies around under the house, leaving there sediment and purifying matter. In order to save the lives of the remaining members of the family the physician in charge thinks they should be removed to more healthy quarters. People are not nearly careful enough in regard to the sanitary regula- tions of their households. Sinks and cesspools are built in dangerous proXim- ity to the dwelling houses, and the3e are not watched with sufficient care to pre- vent the accumulation or noXiouS gas es, and their introduction into our dwellings,. Greater care through the country towns as well as the cities should be taken in this regard, both aS to location and disinfection. 4 little chloride of lime, or carboniC acid, judi ciously used, at intervals, will be great safeguard agaiust disease.

 We learn by the Woodhury "Roport- Or that they keep kind of woodchucA trap at Strong hardware store, that will help a fellow secure the affections of his girl" It must be very, useful arti- cle for bashful young men,. and we are prepared to hear of great rush to Strong's store.
 We have a number of bad boys, who are in the habit of going to places og public entertainment-lect temper ance and other meetings-for the sole purpose of disturbing the peaceful at- tendants, and showing off their bad hab- it's generally. They will hang around the windows, vestibules and doors of the public halls, making noises, and using language unfit to be repeated in print. Sometimes they will go into the meetings, take front seats, sit with their hats on, laugh, whisper, eject great quantities of vile tobacco juice upon the floor, to the great annoyance of ladies :: and, in various other ways, insult and outrage respectable attendants on such meetings. Sometimes they get up a free fight about the doors. A prosecu- tion for the latter olfense is now .pend- ing for decision before Justice Martin against two boys. It is to be hoped that the civil authorities will do their whole duty in abating these nuisances and criminal breaches of the peace. The justice having adjourned this case for judgment, one of the same boys. on the same night was, with others, lying in wait to whip another person. Nothing but little wholesome execution of the law will abate these criminal and base practices. NAsfELEss.
