3 DEATH OF MISS sAiLtE BRowx. - Mis-
t Sallie Brown, a very estimable young lady
/ of Mauch Chunk, died On Tuesday morn
ing, after a long and painful illness, The re-
suit it is believed, of close mental applica-
tion to her scholastic studies, combined with
hereditary consumptive tendencies. She
has been bed ridden for about seven months
during which time she has suffered the ihost
intense physical pain, from what appeared
to be q general disorganzetion Of the vital
constitutional forces, and finally died Of
dropsy Of the heart. Although but eighteen
years old, Miss Brown was well known among
and much beloved by the young people Of
this borough and, in fact, by all who knew
her, for her amiable disposition and a laud-
able ambition to acquire an education. She
would have been one of the graduates at the
close of last term Of the high school, but was
stricken down in the early part of the ses-
sion. Nevertheless, at the suggestion of the
principal, she was awarded a diploma. No
one who met her year ago, apparently SO
full of hope, youthful aspirations and appa-
rent good health. would ever have suspic
ioned that the seeds of inevitable early
death lurked so insidiously in the handsome
form with which nature had endowed her.
But such is fate. 1t is said that she was
conscious to the last breath, and hoped, even
in the midst of her great bodily suffering,
that she might recover, and yet live 10 real
ize the anticipatons which youthful fancy
had painted on the canvass of future life.
She was an only child of the late Joseph
Brown, photograph artist, and resided with
her mother in East Match Chunk, where
they had removed last spring. The death
will fall with crushing blow upon her
widowed mother who has the sympathy of
the community in her sad bereavement.
The body was taken to Bath, Northampton
county, on Thursday for interment.

VIM. Smith, of Penn Forest, recently in

ical candidates were treating their friends at

ter an able argument of COUNSEL the arbi-

plainant. The penalty for the offence is $50
and costs. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Koch
will appeal from the decision.
BITTEN BY skAHE.--n n Tuesday after
noon, while several children were playing
in the woods, along the wire mill race, a
five-years old son of George Smock was bit

for assistance, but before any arrived, the
snake had made its escape. From the des-
crlption given by the boy of the reptile, it
was a copperhead. DR.. Leonord was called,
and by prompt measures saved the boys
life.

Our local papers are trying to keep even
with the dog days, by volley of political
"gush," but it is palpable fact that co far
as the vital issue of the fall campaign in
this county is concerned the matter is vir-
tually settled, not by the mandate of any
bugbear "ring," but in the minds of the
people; and all the erratic scintillations
from the brains of Mauch Chunk journalists
will not alter it one jot or one title.
1t is said upon good authority that the
County Commissioners, at an early date,
will be able to announce that the entire
CLAUSE deficit, with interest, has been placed
into the hands Treasurer Schwebinz and
that the Commissioners will at once pay of
$4,000 Of the county bonded debt. This does
not look as though the country treasury has
been very seriously "robbed" during tho
year,

in Philadelphia on Monday, and the body
