The Strasburg Circulating Library is
lefunct, dead as Julius CGser; the stock
holders dividing the books among them
selves, by lot, which drawing on the 18th
of February, gave infinitely more salts
faction to its patrons than lots drawn by
men and women interested IN land and
Improvement companies generally do.
Our town, however, is well supplied with
literature. Strasburg has five regular
news-bOys-no hay-seeds either The
papers they sell are the Pennsylvania
Grit, Harrisburg Telegram" Saturday

Others.

after which his remains were buried in the
tomb of his ancestors IN the COpp buryng
ground, five miles west of this place. Mr..

The sanitary board Of our town report
a favorable condition of health, generally
speaking. There is, of course, some Ing
ering cases Of gripp, but they are not of
a serious nature The fast approaching
spring, it is hoped, will put an effectual
embargo upon this monster gripp, and
relegate him forever to some region beyond
the reach of mankind. AIropOs Of this,
however, there is another malady inevi-
table, and sure to follow in the wake Of
spring, and, like the gripp, it numbers its
victims by scores and thousands, and al
though not near so fatal in its results, it
is in very many cases equally prcstratiDg,
more especially is such the case about
gardening time. The fact is, there is a
number of victims in this Town, who, all
their life time, have been subject to bond
ge from the yIce-llke gripp of this dis
tressing disease. That there are chronic
cases every where "gOes without saying"
And all the therapeutic agencies ever en-
ployed, are poweIless to cure this insdl-
Gus, enervating and prostrating disease
"sprine fever" which grows not Old with
time, "but fourlshes in immortal youth
unhart amidst the war Of elements, the
wreck Of matter, and the crash of worlds"
