j. D. Hancock, Esq, of Franklin, ha

with silver medal in recognition of his free

tion," and the ITess of that town thinks that

lofty club" he should forward the original

All the diphtheria patients in this town
have recovered. The disease in some cases. is
supposed to have originated from the water of
well near the Witherspoon Institute, which the
children used, and it may be that the hydrant
water in the lower part of the town is not as
pure as it should be. We are of the opinion
that all drinking water, excepting that used
directly from a clear spring, should be boiled
or filtered. A good filter costs less than ten
dollars, lasts four or FIVE years, and in that
time may save ten times its cost in Doctor bills,
or saye life--the one priceless thing EARTH
Two young men named Danavan and
Dulity who work on an oil well near st. Joe,

home they broke their buggy all to pieces,
then went to the house of an old man named
See and abused both him and his old wife, and
then to the house of Mrs. Catharine Sherar, in
Oakland township, where they badly mis-be-
haved themselves. Informations were made
against them next day before both Esq. Flan-
nIgan, of st. Joe, and Esq Keek, of Butler.
Constable MeCandless arrested them on Thurs
day and took them before Esq. Flanagan, who
bound them over for court.
The boys, Benninger and Hewitt, now in

and were discovered hitched in thicket of
underbrush, on the Fletcher farm, near Mar

ruse on his part to make it appear that he had
seVered all connection with the boys before
