UNKNOWN DIsEAsEs.-A new disease
has broken out among the children at
Berlin, of very fatal nature. 1t be-
gins with a sort of stupefaction, the
change in the blood being remarkable.
Dr. Wiackel made incisions in some
cases, and only after pressure could
squeeze out a few drops, the blood hav-
ing become thick, brown-black fluid
of a sirupy consistency. At London an
other new disease has broken out, due,
many think, to impure water. 1t is a
form of cypress fever, and termed
g detephobia, and, though it is seldom
fatal, the sufferer remains but a shadow
of his former self.

Where potatoes, and squashes, and cu

Where cheer and good welcome are always

Her large watermelons and cantaloupes

Her turtle, and oysters, and terrapin stews,

Well crisped and well Drowned to the

Oh! give me my country, the land Of my

Some time ago citizen of this place was
very ill. He fell into stupor which last
ed three or four days. He was carefully
watched by his wife and one or two ladies
from the neighborhOod. One afternoon
the attending physician said he could not
live through the day, and the sorrowing
wife, with view Of having everything in
readiness for the end, held consultation
with her friends as to the arrangement for
the funeral. The conversation was held at
the bedside of the dying man, and in a
short time all the details were arranged ex-
cept the names of those who should be
asked to be paIl-bearers. Three or four
young gentlemen had been selected, when
the wife said, in the sobbing tones suitable
to the occasion, allow would Mr.. So-and-
so do?'' 'sOh, he would do so nicely,''
echoed the chorus of friends, "he f. such a

movement under the coverings of the bed,
and the dying husband slowly raised him
self or one elbow, rubbed his eyes and
said in a weak voice, "No, he won't do. l

my pail-bearers." The ladies were aston |

the wife laid him back gently on the pill

need not trouble you. It is a sad duty

There are people ho are loyal subscrib-
ers, and who would miss their paper more
than their breakfast. who feel no interest in
the political or general news, nor in the
| discussions of topics, or local items, but
care only for the marine intelligence. We
have heard young man remark that he
saw no use in newspapers at all; he felt no
interest in them except in the marriages
and deaths, and card with these would

bitterly complained that the carrier had
missed him one morning. One old lady
complains that there are not enough love
stories in her paper; one reads only the
items, and another calls these sawdust. and

man never reads an editorial article, AM.
another gathers all his notions OF political
and social events from the editorial discus
sion of these. In a newspaper, great or
small, very widely varied taste has to be
considered, and in pleasing the public the
journalist can hardly hope to please any
individual
There is general tendency to criticise
the truthtulness and the morality Of news
papers. If story is doubtful, it is ''news-
paper lie" and yet there is no respectable
journal which is not more careful in its
statements of facts, than men of honor and
honesty are in their ordinary conversation.
The responsibility of publicity is great
and the account one gets in the
newspaper is generally more truthful than
that of an ordinary eyewitness, and some
times than the facts arrived at in a court of
law. The papers criticise each other Sc
verely and are check upon each other.
Their morality is necessarily up to the av-
srage, and is actually above the average
public sentiment. The best newspapers
an be taken into any family with advan-
age to the morals and education OF the
7oung people of the household. The pre-

stores in the Comstock block, and
they feel quite at home. These
stores are by far the best for their
business in the city, being large
and roomy, with high ceilings and
plenty of light, heated by furnace,
and well ventilated. Their goods
are placed upon shelves, counters,
and tables in a manner that gives
the establishment an air of a house
of large business, while the gener-
al conveniences are all that could
be desired. At the back end, and
in center of the stores is the office,

A swarm of Indians from some
OF the northern counties have az
rived in this part of the. country
for the purpose of hunting deer,
but the hunters hereabouts are not
very much pleased over the ar
rival, and some of them use pretty
strong language, so we are told. 1t
really does seem somewhat out
rageous to have these Indians
come from abroad and STAY the
deer in. the manner they have in
the past. 1t seems that in the
years past, these red men of the
forest have made practice of Wis
ting this section every fall, killing
deer by the hundreds, and then af-
ter SHINING the animals, leave the
carcasses in the woods to rot. This
is little too much of q good
thing, and there should be some
means provided to put a stop to
such work. Just imagine two or
three hundred carcasses of veni-
son strewn about the woods every
fall by these Indians, to lay there
and decay, or become the food for
wolves, and any sane man would at
once come to the conclusion that It
was a gross imposition on the peo-
pie, not only Of this section, but of
the whole State.
