SCAnLET FEVER. - Amongst the children
there are no new cases to report and Of
those already named nearly all have fully re-
covered and those who have not are now
considered as being out of danger.
We have, however, the first adult patient
TO report; Lizzie, wife of Henry G. Foreman,
haying been attacked by the disease on Fri
day last She has not suffered from the dis
case in its worst form, although she has been
very sick at this time we are informed that
her condition is improving.
ExpLASAroRy.-In making up the form"
it frequently happens that at the last NOM
cnt it is discovered that two or three lines
are required to fill out a column and usually
some squib is inserted without much thought
or consideration. This occurred last week
and we were unfortunate enough to utter
some nonsense as meaningless as it was i'm
personal, but which we regret to say was
interpreted to be rejection OH an individual.
Now, when we explain that the person is n
total stranger to us; with whom we have
never come into contact, directly or Indirect
ly, we shall certainly have said sufficient to
satisfy the most punctitious.
LEaERDEMA1N. - On Friday evening last
we paid visit to our sister town of Emmts
burg and being there concluded to patronize
the band by gracing their entertainment by
our august and imposing presence. We were
treated to an evenings enjoyment of the
fairly dexter0us tricks of a prestidigitateur,
sandwiched between which were some excel
lent songs by the Wizard Oil Quintettc. We
should also mention the fine comet, Leader
Fraley of the band, in the execution of the
Devils Dream, Money Musk and other live
ly airs. That lunch at the Western Mary
land Hotel after the performance fell like
mama to at least one of the three visitors; it
was as timely as unexpected, as enjoyable rs
it was plentiful. If friend Grouse comes in
an time in every instance as he did in that,
The name of his friends should bp legion.
