A Heroine.

Miss Jennie Gross, at present IN in
mate of the pest-house ut Erie, Pa, is
the heroine of the hour. She is an or
phan girl, eighteen years of are, and
has been employed for two years as II
dnne-tic in the family Of n. Russell, Al
Belle Valley. \ family of five, in the
neighborhood, was stricken with small
pux and deserted by every one. The
members of this distressed family had
been kind to the orphaned girl, and she
recip-octted by going to their assist
ancc, much against the wishes of her
employer. Miss Gross nursed the sick
people until the arrival of the health
officer, who insisted Oh her leaving them
in his care. Knowing that she had been
exposed to infection, she decided against
accepting the hospitalities of her friends.
She passed the night in the open air.
and next morning she went within
twenty yares of Mr.. EusSell's house and
hailed her employer. She would not
let him colae near her, but told him
that she believed she had contracted
the disease. She requested him to fol-
low her in his buggy TO Erie and his in
tluence with the Mayor would insure
her admission to the pest-house. This
was accordingly done. The order was
issued immediately, and Miss Gross
picked it up from the spot where she had
directed it TO be placed. 1t is thought
that the girl is beyond recovery.-N. Y.
