A Case Of Death Wherein Doctors
Diaa4rpe

For some time past Eliza, wife OF
james Mchowan, 1oS West Eighth
street, has been suffering from soften.
ing OF the brain. DR.. Kline, a well
known physician Of Philadelphia, ia.
lnlliar and very succe ssilll in the treat
lhent Of nervous diseases, was called up-
on and her case was placed in his
hands. Yesterday Mrs. McGowan
grew rapidly worse, and in that erncr-
grncy DR.. Kane was sent tor.
The latter, as soon as he saw an ar
rnptioil on IN" face, was almost certain
that Mrs. MrGnWan WAS suffering from
smallpox, and forbade persons from
visiting tn" patient. In the evening
Mrs. M"iOwan died, after which Dr..
kIinr arrived and positively denied that
II WAS "A case Of smallpox. The ir.iip.
non on the body he said was caused iy
some medicine h. had given 10 her p,lr.
postIy to bring ont an irruption The
report that II was Il case OF srmall-puA
caused considerable excitement in the
neIghh"rho"d, which the next an
hpnn"cmcut from DR. Kline conrralict-
ihg IN" smallpox r"por, did not allay.
This morning DR.. Kane reported TO
clerk Frazer Of the Board Of Health by
certificate, using the following language
as descriptive Of tn" disease;
" Probably malignant typhoid, Der
haps, smallpox saw the cas-" only last
evening looked like smallpox, but
death occurred before the Eruption was
fully Developed.
As typhoid fever tx anngst the dis
eases considered malignant and con-
tagiou-, Clerk Frazer Immediately or

bury the body to-day. The civ or
dihanr" and rules Of the Board of Hcalth
r"lsir" intcrmcnt within twenty four
hours Of those who die from typhoid
ana scarlet fever, dip1hrria, and other
infectious diseases.
Mr. Mctiowan and the other near
relatives and friends Of the deceased
believe what DR.. Kline says, and Il mes
S"nE"r was despatched to PLiladclrhja
to get certificate from Dr. Kline civ
ing the nature and character Of the dis
ease with which Mrs. MGGvuAn died.
with the intention Of intcrring the body

TO OUR FARMERS.

AS our farmers are now entering up-
on the new year, we would beg them
to observe. strictly, two things. First,
sre to it that your best lands are de-
voted to grain +; and he sure above ev-
cry thing, th@t you put in oats and corn
enough to give ro,i full competency
even IN the event of a bad year. Ev-
cry farmer should adjust his arrange
ments just as if be were certain that the
season would be unfaro.able, and,
then, be will always be doubly sure
Again 1t as ocen demonstrated, time
and again, that cotton planted after
oats will do just as well as cotton plan
ted in March or April. This being
true, then, if man secs he can son
veniently cultivate more cotton he can
easily put it in after he has harvested
Iis oat crop. Thus he not only makes
large crop of oats bat as we'll tull
crop of cotton, too, if be desires. At
any rate, don't let the thought OF
planting big crop of cotton deter you
froia sowing largely in oats, for the
one need not at all interfere with the
other. Now, secondly Let our far
mers be careful how they use CONNER
clal fertilizers. AS far as practicable
make yonr own manures out Of cottor
seed, stable manure, barn yard litter,
pond muck and acid phospbatts. Be
careful how you handle guauo. There
is not farmer 10 the country but what
can make his own fertilizers ifhc on
ly will, and that, too, at ono fourth o
the cost that it will require TO b y and
pay for guano. The writer Of this ar
tiele is selling IS goo3 brand of GU
ano as ever was sold South of Balti
more, and it is to his interest to sci
as much of it as he can, but he intends
first of all, to be faithful to his counlr,
and he would honestly advise th'
planters to touch it lightly. The write
would rather see the country prosperou
than to prosper himself at the expens
Of the country. and, therefore, he re
peats, be careful how you handle qua
no. 1t may pay you to use it, but i
is doubtful whether anybody knows it
