Diphtheria in Richford,

The report that has been the rounds
OF the press that diphtheria is generally
prevalent in RichfOrd, and that ten
children have already died of it was
not true. No cases have occurred there
recently save in the family of Scion
Fletcher, and that family has been
grievously. afflicted. They had five
beautiful and promising children, whose
ages ranged from one year to seven
teen. The four oldest have all been
taken away in succession, the baby was
mildly sick at last accounts and Mr..
Fletcher was severely sick. The disease
was OF the most malignant form, run
ming about fOnr days. The throat and
nostrils filled, discharged profusely, and
the eXudatiOn was of the most offensive
character. The glands of the face and
neck became much swollen, the Inns
dark and livid, and the general system
greatly Frustrated. The sleep of septic
poisoning happily mitigated the suffer-
ing, but when aroused the patients
were mentally conscious to the last.
DIR. Hamilton was the medical at
tendant, but he called others i'm conn
sci, among them DR.. Fasset of st. AL
bans. The general treatment consisted
OF muriated tincture of iron taken in
ternally, and of the application to the
throat, by means of an atOmizer, of "A
spray of carbolic acid and lime water
in shsrt, standard remedies, with which
very many cases have been cured.
When Mr.. Fletcher himself was taken,
he did not send for the doctor immedi-
ately, but having heard of the alcohol
treatment, he commenced taking iiber-
al draughts of whiskey. When the
doctor called, day and half later, he
judged that the remedy was working
well, and advised its continuance.
There is strong hope that Mr.. Fletcher
will receiver. but if lie does the result
will doubtless be due to his superior
strength quite as much as to the alco-
hOl. Mrs. Fletcher has thus far remain
ed well, and has been assisted TIN ouoh-
out 10y Mrs. Betsey Hopkins, the well
known nurse.
The cause of this outbreak and fatal
ity of the disease remains to be inves-
tigated. The family are neat, thrifty
American farmers, living in new
house OH the hillside, about % miles
southeast of Richford village. There
were no evidences of neglect about the
premises-St. Adams Messenger.

Grant Leads Thus Far.

1t will he a surprise perhaps to many
who hear little except about the Ed
muuds "bOom," to learn that of the 242
delegates already chosen to Chicago,
(about one third of the entire number),
as near as can be ascertained, Grant
has I55, Blaine Sc, Sherman 25, Ed
munds only Is. OF course this does not
necessarily nominate Grant, but it must
be acknowledged a pretty handsome
lead. Nevertheless, we believe it will
be fatal mistake to nominate him,
and we live in hope, and expectation,
that the country will so see it by next
June.

The Democratic Fox.

AS novels sometimes say, "the plot
thickens." New developments are be-
ing made in the political field, and new
characters are appearing. There is a
sly operator behind the scenes whom
none know much about, unless it be the
"nephew." Tracks are being made all
over the country, from Oregon to Flori-
da, and from Louisiana to "Cipher AL
ley;" no one knows precisely who
made them, but they look similar to
some made in 1876. A paw is some
times seen scratching upon the wall nc
one knows exactly whose it is, but all
can guess pretty well when they hear
the Mannings and the Springers talk
about it in Congress. The fact is, this
fox is at his old game, planning to catch
electoral votes; and we warn the Re.
publican watchdog to be vigilant, OIL
Reynard will by and by jump up big
surly mastiff.

President Hayes.

AS the people think the matter over,
they see more and more to admire in
our President. We believe he wears
well, and that sometime the country
will see palmer than now how steadily
he has held the reins. He has never
attempted any great splurge, nor has
he done much Dragging. But like an
honest and sincere man, he has gone
straight forward in the line of his duty,
neither turning to the right nor the
left He has not sought notOriety, nor
has ambition for office blinded his hon
or or lessened the dignity of his man
hood. If we cannot point to any one
or two great things that Mr.. Hayes has
done to make him conspicuous, we
must consider that his administration,
thus far, has been one of evenness, and
a blessing to the country.

Democrats all mad, because, as a mem
of the committee in the Washburn-

indeed, to find a man in times like
these who is bold and honest enough tC

than perjure himself or bring obloquy

A Funny Request.

Some over Jealous person has re-
quested the Boston Journal to "sug-
gest" the name of George w. Curtis as
one of the delegates at large for Massa-
chusetts. This is as much as to say
that that state is barren of capable men,
but by stepping over to New York they
can find just whom they need. Shades
of Hancock, Adams and Andrew has
it come to this, that the "Old Bay
State" must be advised to go away
from home to find brains and virtue
people of Massachusetts, but they are
not so hard up yet for capable men, as
to be obliged to go to another state tC
borrow.

Eg The report came few days ago
from Burmah that seven hundred men,
women, boys, girls, priests and foreign
ers had been burned alive under the
towers of the city walls as a sacrifice
for the restoration of the Kings health.
The panic in MaBdalay was trightful,
and hundreds of people were leaving the
city. The Kings illness is said to be
leprosy. The report the next day was
that the victims were not burned but
buried alive, and yet King Thebaw
had not recovered. The next day after,
the whole thing was contradicted. But
even the report shows what things are
possible.

The following is brief story of the
outrage. as given by Whitaker:
l was forced on to the floor, after the
man had sprang on me, i'll crouchlng
position then l was thrown over SC
that l lay with my head toward the
back of the alcOve and alongside of the
bed. NV feet were tied to the bed, near
the foot. Then l was struck, l think
with fist; afterward l was hit on the
left side of the head with some sort of a
club. After the men had gone, | called
for help loud enough to have been
heard across the hall, or in the next
room or in the room below. After that
| swooned or fell asleep, aud knew
nothing more until brought to conscious
ness by the surgeon. l struggled
throughout the attack as well as L
could. should say it was with scissors
that my hair was cut. But my ears
we're cut with a single blade. There
were also two cuts on the little tee of
nv left foot, made while tying my feet.
My hands were tied with the palms to-
gether. The cords hurt, but did not
cut me. l could move my fingers. l
tried to reach down and release my feet.
l tried to pull aloOf, but the cords cut:
The bed is heavy iron one, and
l did move it little. My feet were
numb when the cords were cut. and
still feel so. After the suggestion to
put a handkerchief under my ear, |
heard no sound of ripping, nor any pro-
pOsa to cut out the name from the
handkerchief. | have seen it since, and
it looks like cadet handkerchief. L
do not think the masks the men wore
would SO disguise the voices. The
masks were not such as are used for
parties. think my hair
was cut in the back, on the side and on
top.

Public Opinion.

Mr.. Goddard OF the Boston Advertis-
er has returned from Il four weeks trip
west and south, during which he came
III contact with many representative
public men and politicians, aud the
conviction to which all he heard and
saw brought him was, he says, that I'M
less the situation changes entirely be-
tween now and June, the choice must
be made between Grant and Blaine :
and lie does not hesitate TO say that OF
the two his choice is Grant.
Geo. F. Edmunds and colored sena-
tor Bruce would carry the Republican
flag. They represent the best senti-
ment of both parties. Senator Bruce,
though a black man, is the best Repub
lican statesman in the south, and the
best specimen of his race in America.
The black man has become so impor-
tant factor in modern politics, and
furnishes so large IA percentage of the
Republican vote, that simple Justice
demands for him its national recogni-
tom BrattleborO Reformer.
Gov. Proctor of Vermont appears to
be "a good deal solemnized by the re-
publican situation, judging by this SEN
tenee In his Fast Day proclamation
sit is fit time for every man to make
careful examination of his political
course, and make sure that he is actu-
ated by love Of country, and that his
motives are pure and high, and his acts
in intelligent accord Herewith. Then
will the voice of the people be indeed
the voice of God" This was read in
the Vermont churches yesterday. We
bring it to-day to the attention of thou
sands of voters. There is a deal of
meaning in the appeal of the Vermont
governor and his words will bear
weighing. It is hardly necessary to add
that RedtieId Proctor is strong be-
lever in the wisdom and possibility of
nominating George F. Edmunds at Chi
cago.-[Splingfield Republican.

THE DRAMA.

Second Performance Of IAN Arabian Night" "
A large attendance was present at Full
ton opera house on Saturday night to wit
ness the performance of the sparkling
comedy of " An Arabian Night as given
by the same company that produced it
here some weeks ago to the infinite de-
light Of the audience on that occasion.
The entertainment was of the same de-
lightful character as on the previous per-
formance and kept the audience in a con-
tinuous state of merriment, and the sue
tession of ludicrOus situations, funny say
ing and laughable incidents were reflected
in the continued broad smiles that rippled
over the audience. The sprightly Miss
Evelyn, in the role of the "Wild Rose of
Yucatan," strengthened the favorable i'm
preston previously made by her vivacity
and ingenuousness, Mrs. Mader is typ
cal lnother-in-law, Messrs. Thorne and
Josephs the embodiment of mirth, and the
entire cast is one Of exceptional merit.
The performance gave universal satisfac-
tion, and Manager Mishler deserves vote
of thanks for giving our people the oppor
tunity Of enjoying such an engaging enter
tainment. The company to-day enter on
an extended Southern and Western tour.
