STRASBURG ITEMS.

The hog cholera is still raging IN this
locality, and numbers Of hogs are dying
from its ravages.
Messrs. Keller and Baker shipped from
their store, at Fishers Hill, eighty bushels
of walnut kernels up to November lst
Aunt Sallie Fisher, an old and well
known lady Of this town, is lying danger
onsly in with pneumonia, at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. Order.
Mr.. p. Grove has the boss hog, SO far.
He will slaughter him near the holidays.
Various estimates as TO his weight are
made. Some put him now at $50 pounds;
some AZ 700, and others at still higher iig-
ures Guesses at 10 cents each, with the
names of the persons guessing, together
with the dimes, will be dropped into
box. The one coming nearest the weight
Of this monster hog, will take the box aud
contents.
Should the Strasburg Cornet Band fail
10 hold an exhibition during holiday week
as it seems will be the case, the Lehew
Brothers. assisted by an able corps OF ar
lists in the minstrel line, will give several
Grand entertainments in the Academy
Hall. during the holidays A bare men
ton of the fact is sufficient to insure
packed house.
The Strasburg Graded School, or sever
al of its departments, seems to give much
dissatisfaction, Judging from the COM
plants made by both patrons and schoi-
ors The painfully apparent lack Of that
valuable commodity capacity is far from
complimentary to the party, or parties
an.enable TO the public for a better con
dition of things m this most important
matter of a harmonious and well conduct
ed school.
Bv a majority vote Of the officers and
teachers of the NJ. L. Sunday school taken
on Sunday last, il was decided that in
Mace of Christmas tree, n boat or ship,
fnllv rugged and stored with a fresh sup
ply of the good things and novelties direct
from Santa Claus, be got in readiness for
the little ones. This fine boat is now on
the way. and will cast anchor in the VI.
f. Church on Christmas night, and the

from the boat.
The health of our town, generally speak
ing. is at present good. no diseases oil a
yirulent nature prevails at this time. A
maladr known as General Apathy was
ouite prevalent, it is said, abont the 2nd
of this month, and was widespread IN its
effects throughout the State. There were
forty or more persons in this town and
vicinity affected by it. 1t seems to be a
new disorder and epidemic in its nature.

tion. The operation was skillfully per
formed by Dr. Henry Irwin, and notwith-

the prediction that not one-tenth of them
