DEATH AGAIN.-It is with sorrow
and sympathy that we announce the
death of the infant son of Mr.. " Mrs.
\. +. Harter, which was caused by
cholera infantum. The little one died
at the residence of the bereaved moth
er's parents yesterday afternoon, about
4 O'Clock, and was not quite year old.
Haying been the first born the young
parents were naturally fondly attached
to the child and their grief is cOnse-
quently keen. But the One that has
given has seen fit to take away and He
will be best able to console the mourn
ers. Funeral Friday forenoon.
The very welcome letters which
Mr.. Il Mrs. S. d. Musser receive from
their oldest daughter, Miss Mable,
show that the young lady IS progress
ing splendidly with her studies and
that she is forming high opinion of
Luthervile Seminary and its teachers.
Both parents and daughter look for
ward with pleasure to the holiday va
cation, when Mable will spend a few
weeks i'm the beloved home circle.
Last night week ago W. G..
Rook, familiarly called Parker. was in
a "stew" and things about the Nation
al looked blue. But with the dawn OF
Thursday morning Pdrker'S face began
to look brighter and everybody mar
veled at the pleasant change that grac'
ed his visage. Upon inquiry we re-
ceived his cheerful answer in substan-
italy these wordS-"Oh it's the dearest
little landlady that ever came to this
world" That explained all and we
are glad to learn that all parties con-
cerned are doing finely and that the
happy pater is as proud as a king.
Here goes -
"A report has been circulating i'll
our neighboring valleys for the last
week or so that Millheim had anywhere
from 80 to 100 typhoid fever cases.
This is base misrepresentation of the
facts. The fever visited only three
families in town, the number Of pa
tients all told being seven. Two of
these have died, while the other five
have about recovered. That is all that
is of it and the parties who are given to
so much exaggeratiOn would better bri
die their loose tongues. Our physicians
think that since the late rains the back
of the epidemic IS broken and the SAIL
ltary condition of this neignhorhood
greatly improved.
THE HUSBANDS POCKET Book
There has been quite a lively discus
sion going On in THE HoUsEK EEPEr as
to whether the family pocket book be-
longs to the husband, the wife, or lit
tie of both. One thing is sure, the
pocket-Eook ought to be open long
enough for the wife to get one dollar
to pay for THE HOUsEKEEPER one
year, especially as the publishers send
the last three numbers of 1886, all of
1887, and choice collection of import
ed bulbs for iall planting or forcing for
