Fearful Ravages Of Scarlet Fever.

PnTsBrRGH. December 25.-This will
be sad and mourntul Christmas for
the little town OF Houtzdale, Clearfeld
county. this State. The Angel OF Death
is now holding high carnival there.
That fearful scourge, scarlet fever, is
rapidly thinning and desolating every
household in the place. Eighteen chit
dren died Thursday IRON this terrible
disease, and yesterday morning many
new cases were reported. 1t is but a
few days since the first case was made
known, and already thirty deaths have
resulted.
Physicians have been summoned
from all the neighboring towns, as the
few doctors here are all overworsed and
could not possibly attend to all the de.
mands made upon them. There Is
scarcely q family in the town that is not
plunged into grief at the untimely death
OF their children. Mourning and grief
are every where visible. Heretofore the
health oil the town has been excellent,
and the doctors are at loss to account
for the fearful ravages OF the dread dis
ease.
