W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, May 5.-No Systematic
efforts have been yet made to discover the
cause or exact nature of the epidemic now
raging at Plymouth, but the opinion is gener.
ally held by physicians who have visited the
persons afflicted with the disease, that it is ty-
phoid fever, complicated with malaria The
cause OF the epidemic is attributed to river
water. During the middle of March, when
the stream was dry, the river was frozen over,
and the water was at low stage, which leads
to the belief that there was temporary accu-
mutation at Plymouth of sewerage from Viii.

Tie Washing,on Star asserts that
Representative Warner intends t"
make war upon the civil service
commission, and that he expects to
be able to bring about it's reorgani-
cation. Warner is credited with
saying that the present COMMISSION
ers arrogate to themselves all the
power Of the President, aud by en-
seloping themselves in the cloak OF
secrecy make it possible for them TO
manipulate appointments TO suit
themselves, without the least danger
# their methods becoming known.
Tie commissioners, he says, must

1t has long been a matter OF
surprise to us that iflItsboro,-the
mother Of So many great men, and
the centre Of So much culture and
refnement,-has existed SO long
without having had a public library
of any description. But the mere
fact that we have gotten along with

cient reason for the assumption that
We may as we'll do without me now.
In Raleigh, ! Durham aud several
other towns OF the State, circulating
libraries have been recently estab.
lished and we have no doubt but
that something of the kind would be
popular and successful right here in
old Orange. A few books placed
conspicuously OF a spare snelt in ore
Of our stores, where they could be
readily obtained by the contribu
tors, would soon, we doubt not
grow into a library of wider dimen
eious. AT any rate, the experiment
could be easily and cheaply tried
During the rainy winter months, es
pecialIy, an institution Of this sor
would prove a source of much pleas
ure and profit to the entire commu
nifty. We commend the matter t
the careful consideration of GU
