There are some cases Of ehieken.pox, mumps
diph;hcria. scarlet fever and small p0x in thi.
section. Two eases of smallpox are reported al,
Hoffman, Paper Mills. one Of which terminated

A young lady who had been 90 Baltimore was
taken Fiek while on her way home In the cars m
when she arrived ai her home. near New Freedom,

mills which use infected rag.
a revival meeting ha. been in progress Tor some
time a, Pine Grove q. u. church, but a. yet there
has been little success in the conversion of sinners
as but two have been converted. There seems TO

ac., laid In by the country merchants, We would
hardly have been aware that the Christmas holi.
days were upon us. unless NC had looked At the
almanac. II was quite different % years ago,
when there we're several tavcTns In the district
and every store sold "Jer.ey lightning" Il is
now rare sight, indeed. 10 see a drunken man in
this section.
Our fiery friend "Medicus." Who signed hi,
name "B." 60 his recent laborei article In the
oa,~ai Is Of the opinion tha, Republicans In this
county should have no rights that Democrats
should respect. with the exception Of the right 90
pay taxes. The cause Of this sudden outburst Of
anger from this splenetic gentleman seems TO be
because enough votes were cast BY Republican,
having faith In the promises of Judge iellot 60
save him from being defeated by sore head Demo
