iy-A Warning to Parents.-A correspon-
dent writes as follows to one of the Baltimore
papers: "The recent ravages of the dread disease,
diphtheria, in the family of Mr.. N. B. Shorey, at
his residence in Baltimore county, near Pimlc0,
have excited deep and widespread sympathy
for the bereaved, and elected extended comment.
On Sunday, the 2lst of November, Nellie, George
and Olive, aged, respectively, six, three and
twelve years, all died within few hours of one
another. On Sunday, November %, Matte Ste
vens, aged eight, was also cut off by the same
disease. Thus within the brief space of one week
four children were swept from time to eternity.
Mrs. Shorey, the mother, was also quite i'll at one
time with the same maady, but it is gratifying to
her many friends to know that at last accounts
she was convalescing. That the mother took the
disease while caring for and nursing her children
is beyond doubt.
"Many have urged that the disease was caused
by defective plumbing This is believed by some
to have been an impossibility. Gentlemen of ex-
perience, and with a knowledge of the business
that entities their opinion to weight, have given
the dwelling and the surroundings careful and
critical examination. These say, unhesitatingly,
that if there be residence in around Baltimore
where the plumbing has received special atten-
ton, that residence is the one occupied by Mr..
Shorey.
"The location is elevated, the atmosphere pure
and the water as good as any in the county or
state. That diphtheria, or any other infectious
disease, should be generated in such locality is
seemingly an impossibity. The question then
arises how did it seize upon this interesting fam
lily and sweep four of its members to the grave in
the brief period of eight days?
at seems to be generally agreed that it was
communicated to the family by one of the little
girls, who is known to have sat by a schoolmate
during the hours in school, and that companion is
a member of family in which the diphtheria had
prevailed but short time previous
"In view of all the facts, how important that
every parent see to it that not one in the family,
if there be the fantest suspicion of diphtheria, be
permitted to go to school, or to mingle with the
children of the neighborhood. Too much caution
cannot be observed; too much vigilance cannot be
exercised. The bleeding and lacerated hearts of
many may be avoided if the proper precaution
be taken BY parents everywhere."

Judgment Affirmed in the Richardson
Case-Sentence Not Yet Passed.-In the
Court OF Appeals on the 10th instant, the Court of
Appeals rendered its decision in the case of Will
liam IL. hichardson, editor of the Peoples Voice
newspaper, who was convicted in the Baltimore
county Circuit Court of publishing libeous arti-
cies against Judge David Fowler. In affirming
the decision of the lower Court the Court of APP
| peals says:
"Ihe appellant was indicted for libel in the
circuit court for Baltimore county, and was found
guilty. at the trial one exception was taken to
the exclusion of certain evidence offered in de-
fence, winch was made the basis of this appeal,
andproperly speaking" says the court, "the COR
rectaess OF the courts ruling the evidence is
:ae;ry question legitimately before us. But by
agsemeEt of the counsel of the state and defence,
the ruling of the court below the demurrer to
the indictments whereby the same was overrued,
this court was to be asked to pass thereon. The
court says this course is irregular, not to be COM
mended, and is not to be taken as q precedent.
The argument is that the indictment does not set
forth with sufficient particularly in what regard
the administration of justice was held up to con-
tempt in the libel of Judge David Fowler; that
it does not set out the place where justice was
being administered, nor the case in which Judge
Fowler was acting, nor the subject matter of the
suit, including the parties litigant. All these
things, it is contended, should have been particu-
larry stated in order to put upon the traverser
notice of what he was called on to defend. The
defence also contends it is fatal objection that
the indictment did not conclude to the great dam.
age and scandal of Judge Fowler" The court
held that the words of the indictment objected to
were merely put in aggravation Of the offence, and
when the language was used by the appellant
against Judge Fowler, as judge, he is in effect
holding up the court over which he presdes, or in
which he oficiates, and all other proceedings be-
fore such judge to distrust. AS to the objection
that the conclusion did end ito the damage of
Judge Fowler the court says the words were
wholly immaterial. Finding the indictment suf-
fcient" says the court, eve turn to the ruling in
evidence The evidence offered was avowedly to
show that the defendant had been led into an
honest mistake of fact, and thereby was misled as
to the publication set out in the evidence. Moth
ing short of evidence tending to show the truth of
80 charge made can be admissible under our
statute allowing the truth to be given in evidence
in justification under the general issue. An evil
intent is conclusive inference and presumption
oflaw from the publication of the libeous matter
without excuse"
The opinion of the Court in the above Casa
very yoluminous document-was received by John
W. Shankin, Esq, Clerk of the Circuit Court, on
Thursday. 1t was transmitted to Judge Waters
for his examination before passing sentence on
Richardson.

Diphtheria and the Scholastic report
of the health officer of Baltimore says that while
there is a number of deaths each week in the city
from diphtheria, it is not in an epidemic form,
and is confined to certain sections of the city, its
prevalence arising from various causes, many
cases occurring from care enough not being taken
as to sending children to school from houses where
the disease exists. The health officers think that
teachers should be very careful in this respect,
and not permit children to attend school where a
member of the family is suffering with diphthe-
ria. Great cleanliness should be observed, and all
sinks properly looked after.

OfImportance to Teachers.--An important
duty devolying upon teachers and janitors pub
lie schools is the regulation of fires and the prop

In the matter of heat the regulation of furnaces is
of Importance, and securing ventilation of regu-
lar character must be carefully watched. This is
tracted in a draft, produced by an open door or
window to get ventilation, is what leads to scarlet
fever, diphtheria, etc. An important sanitary
work is involved in these suggestions which school
boards janitors and teachers ought not to neglect.

Two More swinoles-Let Farmers Be.


ware.-The wire fence scheme is something new
that is being worked on the farmers in some Sec
tions. This is how it is done: The agent asks
the privilege of exhibiting his wire fence stretcher,
for which privilege he will build you thirty or
forty rods of good fence for exhibition, and all
that he asks of you is to board him, 60 after the
machine at the nearest station, and pay the
charges not to exceed 49, for the fence all set up
where you want it. In order to have all salts
factory, and as a warrant of good intentions, he
requires you to sign written contract on postal
card, which he mails to his partner and this
proves to be order for the machine, price 5000,
@sorth about $54. After the machine comes, a
new. man rurus up wasis tue pvstsl card for the
machine, and requires the note for saao,N. nov
agreement on card Heclaims to be an attorney for
the company, and threatens to sue unless he g cts
the note.
The lightning rod man has all times for his own,
winter SHOWS being no impeachment to his smart
ness in "taking in" the unwary. Here is new
swindle of theirs: One of them visits farmer, ex-
patiates on the virtues of his new lightning rod,
and in order to introduce it he will put one up on
the barn for nothing, only charging small sum
for the connection. An agreement is then pro-
duced and signed, but in very small type it con-
tains "the milk in the coconut" In few days
another man comes, and tells the farmer he has
nothing to do with any verbal agreement made,
but he will put up rods, sometimes to the amount
of 5000, and compels the farmer to pay under the
signed agreement.

Heavy Loss from Fire.-Between and 10
o'clock on Monday night last the splendid Switzer
barn on the farm of Mr.. Moses Fox, in Back
River Neck, 18th district, took fire from some un-
known cause and was entirely consumed, together
with most of its contents and corn house that
stood near by. In the barn at the time were %
horses and 100 head of CATTLE rs head of the latter
being roasted alive. The neighbors responded
promptly to the alarm and with the employees on
the place, after hard work, succeeded in getting
out the stock that was saved. Two wagons and
large lot of farming implements, besides 300
tons of hay and 100 tons rye straw, burned.
The corn. house contained about 400 barrels of
corn, all of which is total loss. Mr.. Fox, who
is WELL known stock dealer in Baltimore, places
his loss at 10000, upon which he has $4,000 in
surance, as follows On barn, farming implements
and other contents $4,000 each in the Guardian,
Etna and Royal, of Liverpool, and on the cattle
81, 200 in the Continental, of New York. The
cause of the fire is shrouded in mystery. The
barn was one of the finest in Baltimore county
and was built at heavy expense by Mr.. Fox. The
farm house only saved from destruction by
the wind carrying the flames in an opposite di-
rection.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
means OF Avoiding Disaster and
ProIonging Life.


Most of the greatest discoveries the world
has ever known have been made during the
present century"
Such was a recent remark Of the President
Of the National Science Association, and no
one can doubt its truth. The application
OF steam and electricity have all been
brought about within a comparatively few
years, while the realm of mechanics has
taken immense strides. But the greatest
and best discoveries are those which lessen
pain and add joy to the human race. And
these discoveries are in a quiet way doing
more for the good of the world, than any
and all material discoveries combined.
A gentlemen, high in scientific acquire
ments, and who has devoted himself to the
benefit of the human race, was forced to the
conclusion that certain elements in the body
which were most lacking, could be supplied.
Acting upon this belief, he carefully ex.
perimented and produced compound which
by absorbing and retaining the elements
taken into the system adds more albumen to
the body and hence supplies more life than

cure-all; it's q life-imparting remedy. 1t

out with the care of home; who have been

have a sense of bearing down and WEAKNESS

by science and tested by experience; and as
such commend themselves to the closest and
