WOriHy BasN.
QermantcWn IaleKranh,

A wonderful discovery has been made
by some very learned scientists that
there are little sorms to be found in
black bass, around the back" which
W. referred TO some weeks ago. Some
six to eight years ago we were written
to on the same subject by a Delaware
fisherman, who vas rather horritie1 AT
the discovery of this worm in the bass,
and asked us the meaning OF it?
Our answer was to the effect
that in several varieties oftish, itnot in
most of them, II small worm was to be
found at certain seasons Of the year:
tat it meant nothing; that the worms
had no taste different from the fish, and
was similar to the worms in cheese or
in the cherry, which only very fastid-
ious people object to. Soma animals are
in the same way affected; J; the rabbit for
instance, which, particularly lin July
and August, contains worm some
times an inch in length, which, after
performing its purl ose, Games out and
disappears. We trust this statement
will allay the apprehension about the
bass. The "black-tish, or tautog, IA
perhaps more than any other fish, atfec-
ted III this way.

Thomas Warwick and Robert B.
Cross, engaged in fight yesterday in IA
saloon near Front ard King reefs.
The proprietor vainly endeavored tC
separate them and tiualy pushed them
into the street, where he thought they
could fight it out. AT this time Will
liam Cross, the father of Robert, made
an effort to separate them, and while
thus engaged, officers Hardy, Elliott
and ParJee came and arrested the trio.
At the hearing before the Mayor last
evening, the evidence tended to show
that William Cross, the father. was
only trying to separate the others, and
the Mayor dismissed him, but ordered
Robert B. Cross and W"rwick to pay a
fine of s. and costs each.

Now q Berka County Barn Was
BnrMed.

The large Swiss barn on the farm of
Rufus Adams, Spring township, Berks
county, in the occupancy of j Jacob Blatt
was totally destroyed by fire on Tues
day afternoon. Nothing was saved but
the cattle, which were taken out by
men who were digging well near by.
The barn was built OF stone and about
100 feet long. Owing to the prevailing
drought, a we'll was being sunk on the
premises. Some blasting was found to
be necessary, and the men had placed
a charge of powder, lighted the fuse
and retired to d safe distance. Sudden
ly there was Kissing sound, and the
lighted fuse shot through the air and
tell upon the roof of the barn. Before
the men could procure ladders and re-
move it, the root, which was as dry as
tinder, took fire, and in few moments
the entire building was wrapped in
flames. There was u considerable guam
tity of hay and grain stored in the
barn, all of which was destroyed.

The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1881-01-20

In the report of the New York board of
health, great deal of space is devoted to
diphtheria, which has extensively prevailed
in that state for a year past. There are
notes of many cases occurring in high and
isolated places, where nature appeared to
favor conditions of perfect health, but
where the neglect and filthy habits Of hui
man beings have allowed diphtheria to be-
come seated and to spread through other
hitherto unaffected neighborhoods. It is
stated that the disease is not yet fully COM
pretended, and is still treated with an I'M
happy degree of uncertainty as to results by
even the most experienced physicians. A
large number of cases are cited, showing
the infectious nature of the disease, and
the necessity for isolation of patients, dis
infection of rooms and clothing; and pri-
vate funerals, are emphatically directed.
Many cases are brought to light to show
that diphtheria and other diseases difficult
to control, are developed and disseminated
through the almost universal neglect, among
the poorer rural population, of drainage and
sewerage. Stops are thrown from windows
under the very dwelling, vegetable matter

The Whitaker Case,

The charges and specifications against the
colored cadet have been furnished his counsel
Charge one is conduct unbeconling an officer
and gentleman, in violation of paragraph 1875,
Regulations Of the United States Military Acad-
envy. The first specification refers to the as
sault, and asserts it was done with the design to
invite public sympathy, to turn dscredit upon
the military academy and to obtain notoriety to
avoid escape from an approaching public ex-
animation to the extent of his requirements
etc, that he did willingly and deliberately mu-
tilate and wound himself, and tie his hands to-
gether and his feet to the bedstead. The Sec
ond specification is that he did devise and write,
or cause to be written, a certain printed letter
Of warning. Here follows the note Of warning.
Charge second cites false swearing, to the pref
udice of good order and military discipline The
first specification relates to his general account
of the assault as given in his testimony. Speci-
fication second also relates to his testimony
as found in the record of the court of
inquiry but quotes at length and in detail from
his testimony, the minutia of the assault and
the interrogatories prepared by Recorder Sears
to induce him to vary that testimony. Specif-
cation third refers to his testimony at length
and cross examination in regard to the author
ship or any knowledge of the note of warning
and concludes: All of which answers SO made
under oath as aforesaid by the accused had
reference to the fraudulent note, or letter of
warning, and were material to the matter
under Investigation before the said court, and
were each and all knowingly, willfuly and de-
iberately false and untrue.
