DlPHTHERlA AT KEENE.

The recent outbreak of diphtheria at
Keene was most distressing in its sad re-
suits, and was probably caused by rag
bag left by peddler. Two beautiful
children of the family of p. G. Marion
on Marlboro street have recently fallen a
prey to malignant type of the disease.
Last winter there were two or more cases
of the same type in the family of James
H. Mark, living on the opposite side of
the street, Mr.. Mark himself dying of it..
Rev. Father Power relates that, soon
after Mr.. Marks death, peddler pur-
chased some rags and old bed-quilts of
Mrs. Mark and also some rags of Mrs.
Marion. Mrs. Marion at first forgot
to bring back her g-bag from the cart,
but, remembering it, sent one of her
children for the bag. The peddler, how
ever, gave the child bag which was not
hers, but which was kept instead. Mrs.
Marion now thinks this bag came from
the Marks and had been filled with rags
which were infected with diphtheria. A
probable theory would be that with the
warm weather, or the recent use of the
rag-bag in the Marion family, it had
sent forth and spread the germs of the
fatal disease, and caused the second out
break in the same neighborhood.

SUNDAY DROWNING AT BOSTON.

About 6 a. M, Sunday, a party of
eight young men started for fishing
excursion in sail-boat owned largely by
themselves. When they were about one
mile fromThompson's Island, in Dorches-
ter Bay, the boat was struck by squall
and capsized. All but one were swim
mers, but instead of trying to swim
ashore, they tried to climb on the
boat, which was so heavily ballasted that
their weight would force her beneath the
surface, leaving them struggling in the
water. In this manner the strength of
the men was exhausted and they sank
one by one, until but one was left. The
survivor, Walter Quinlan, had sunk for
the last time, when the boat in rising
came up under him, lifting him above the
surface. He floated in an unconscious
condition for some time. when the boat
was seen from the shore by employees of
the gas works at COwpasture Point, who
went out and brought him to shore and
resuscitated him. The overturned boat
was taken in charge by the harbor police.
The drowned were: Lawrence McTieran,
aged "a years, and John Sullivan, aged
"a years, living in Charlestown; Albert
Lombard, aged 20 years, of Boston !;
James Husband, aged II years; Thomas
Troy, aged Is years, and Joseph Tufts,
aged Is years. of South Boston; and
Edgar Maloney, aged Is years, Of Dor
chester. McTiernan left wife and child.
The others were unmarried.

Many dwellings were also struck and
damaged by the electric fluid.
The storm also did considerable dam
age on Long Island. The house of
Thomas Seaman of Glen Cove was struck
by a bolt Of lightning. The chimney
was shattered and the roof torn. The
house of Edward Stencil was also struck
and considerably damaged. Mrs. Stencil
was prOstrated by the shock. The tele-
phone wires of the central office in Glen
Cove were burned out and the telephone
girl had narrow escape. Mrs. Sarah
Bloomfield, aged so years, was fright
ened by the lightning and fell down stairs
and fractured her skull.
AT Utica, the building occupied by the
electric-lighting company was struck by
lightning ana the dynamo ruined. The
city was in darkness until new dynamo
could be secured. Forepaugh's circus
was exhibiting there, but the manage
ment feared the tent would be blown
down, and so lowered it and gave no
evening performance. The storm was
particularly severe all throu IN Chenango
county, and damage by lightning is
reported from several towns.
Similar reports come from the western
part of the state. At LerOysville, ten
COWS on A. Stevens farm were killed by
while standing under tree.
A cloudburst occurred few miles from
Brooklyn, Ont, Thursday, which caused
the creek which runs through that villae 9
to assume the proportions of a mighty
river. A great amount of property was
destroyed, and number of buildings
were carried away. Six bridges were
also destroyed. A portion of the Cana
dian Pacific railway track, number of
bridges, and several frame structures
were swept. away at Orangeville. The
heaviest losses were sustained by the
breaking of two mill dams, and the al
most total wreck of single mills owned
in Mount Forest.

NEW HAMPSHIRE AFFAIRS
AlSTEAD.

For the two past Sundays, it has
seemed and been so expressed by scores
of his hearers, that Rev. j. f. Rhoades
has really eclipsed his own brilliant
talents as a pulpit orator, by the power
and logic of his sermons. 1t seems to
us that no person unblinded by bigotry
and human prejudice, rather than the
pure and holy teachings of the Bible,
can listen to him without receiving COM
fort and a stronger impulse for the good
and noble in life.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Brooks of Holyoke,
Mass, were visiting friends here, last
week. He was formerly for many years
in the mercantile business at Acworth,
where his honorable dealing and genial
manners endeared him to host of
acquaintances.
Mrs. B. III. Fisher, who has been so
long out of health, was able to go, few
days since, to live awhile with her
daughter, Mrs. Wood of Concord. Re-
ports are that the change is beneficial,
and that Mrs. Fisher is more comfort
able.

Edmund Prouty, one of our oldest
and most respected citizens, is very
feeble, and great fears are expressed
that he will not rally again. He has
seemed to be gradually failing for sew
eral years, but very rapidly so. lately.
E. A. Ball and John Lynch of Clare
mont, were in town Monday.
Mr.. and Mr.. Ernest c. Howard of
Windsor, are visiting at Mrs. Emily
Glover's. Mr.. Howard returns to care
for his business, but Mrs. HI. will re-
main with her mother a portion of the
summer.
At last the outside of our ''reservoir''
is completed; the gravel and stones are
cleared away and leveled; loan carted
on to grade up the ground, and seed
sown; so, it will soon be grassed and
cease to be the unsightly ornament CO of
our village center. 1t has been so days
in filling so as to discharge. 1t is quite
body of water, but we expected it
would have been filled sooner. Now,
will the slight feed be sufficient to. keep
the water wholesome, so it will not be-
come foul and a source of disease? The
cistern is 10 feet deep and 10 feet in
diameter at the bottom, but narrowed in
at the top considerably: Itholds large
amount of water, which it is hoped we
shall never need for fighting fire.

Herbert G. Hatch, man well known
in town and vicinity, killed himself by
