On Sunday evening, the sta inst,
Mr.. ard Mrs. Eresirss called to see
their friend, Thomas 3. Melvin and his
family, who resided OF ELK River, two
miles from White Stone, Lancaster
county, Pa. Upon their arrival at Mr..
Mslvin's home they found the lower
portion Of the house open, but no one
could be seen. Mr.. Gresham then COM
menced to search the house, and in an
upper room found the father, the
mother and two children confined to
bed with the typhoid fever. The an
fortunate family had nothing to eat or
drink since Friday evening and still
worse they had no money with which
to buy any food. Mr.. and Mrs. Gfes-
ham provided for the sick family as
best they could and on the following
morning nurses and doctors were sent.
When they arrived Mrs. Melvin was
dead and two children were uncon-
scious.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Melvin was not a member OF their Or

Gil, U. F. A. M, took charge Of his
family a lot was purchased in the vii.
laRe cemetery. and the mother was
buried. On the 18th inst, the father
died and was buried alongside Of his
wife. On Wednesday, the 18th inst,
the son also disd, and was buried near
his parents. Thus three deaths occur
red in one family in nine days. The
daughter Is still living and at the last
accounts was doing well.

the earth, and thought but two o.
these tongues-the ancient Greek and

the English language, which he believ-
I'D was yet destined TO become the

Already from the capes of Virginia
to the mouth of the Oregon, and from
the gulf OF Mexico TO Baffin's Bay
the English language was principally

suppose the five millions of Africo.

can destroy language, he believed 1t

Mr.. r. N. Williams lectured on In

said he hoped to see the day when the
Delaware Legislature would pay as
much attention to the public schools Of
the State as 1t now devotes TO railroad
corporations, dog laws and many other
such cases.
AT the close Of the lecture, vocal
duett was rendered by the Misses Harri-

The Chicago Times, independent,
says the following of General Garfeld's
cecent speeches: 'The capdor Of impair
tial criticism compels it to be said of
the fifty or sixty brief impromptu
speeches Mr.. Garfield made during his
journey to New York and return,
are in some respects very remarkable.
Though there was, throughout, need
lessly careful avoidance Of an express
ion OF opinion on unsettled political
questions, it cannot be said of any
one Of them that it was an expression
of words without ideas. There has,
perhaps, never been made in this coun-
try, by any one citizen, an equal num-
ber Of impromptu responses to popular
greeting that were SO full of ideas, cloth

haven't accepted the position" Mayor
sopris, who was sitting by, observed
that 1t was dangerous thing for him
(the General) to touch; because" he
said, "they will, in all probability,
fioat their stock, and there is big
chance for fraud" "0h," said Gem
eral Grant, "if they propose to place
their stock on sale l don't care to have
anything to do with it." "Then you
have not laid plan for yourself in the
near futurei" "No," was the re-
sponse. ~ have not as yet decided ON

President was asked. "Well, think
