At special meeting of Mountain

1892, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted.
WHEREAS 1t has seemed fit and
proper, in the allwise providence OF
our Creator, to take from our band OF
brothers, our esteemed brother Past
Grand Adam w. G. Keller, in whose
demise we fully realize the loss of a
worthy brother and esteemed citizen
and whose family mourn the loss of a
loving husband and kind father The
community in which he lived loses a
a man OF good principles and senti,
ments. Bro. Keller was a consistent
member and class leader in the NJ
+, Church.
The example of his life and
character affords one worthy of imi,
tation. Be it therefore
ReSoloea, That we sympathize
with the bereaved family in their dark
hour of aiflction, and commend them
tor consolation to the same God in
whom the departed put his trust.
ResOlce0, That our charter be
draped in mourning for thirty days,

The election of A. N. Yost Esq, on
Saturday last, as Secretary of the Col
umbia County Agricultural Society is
a matter of congratulation for the Or
ganization. Mr. Yost for several years
has acted as assistant to the Secretary
at fair time, and is fully conversant
with the duties of the office. During
his ncumbency the Office will not be
used for any political purpose, and
there will be no free distribution of
tickets.
NJ. p Lutz, the retiring Secretary,
has filled the position for several years
very acceptably, and could have re
tanned it had he so desired, but he ex-
pressed his determination not to ac-
cept reelection, as the pay was not
commensurate with the work requir-
ed.

The Cholera.

IAvRE. Sept. 14.-There were eleven
new cases of cholera reported here yes
terday and seven deaths. This is ali
increase Of one new case and Il de-
crease of six deaths compared with the

THE HAGUE, Sept. 14.-There was 4
death from cholera yesterday in Mas
luis, South Holland. One ease ofthe
disease is reported at Elburg, Il town or
the Zuyder Zee.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE steamer
Holderness, from Cronstadt, has ar
rived at Hull, and reports that two of
her crew have died with hsiat;c
cholera. The figures Of the disease in
Hamburg show that wherever the cpl
dcmic exists in Europe it is practically
confined to the working classes, who
are careless in their eating ond drink
ing.
PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE weather here
is sultry and oppressive. The cleans
ing Of the streets. owing 10 Il lack Of
water, has not been accomplished. The
authorities reckon the epidemic will
be stamped out by Thursday.
VIENNA, Sept. 1.-THE hungarian
plan for excluding cholera is to burn
every thing suspected. All hides, bed
ding, clothes and rags from infected
places are burnt. Four hundred weight
of carded wool from England via liam
burg was burned yesterday. The ques-
ton of compensation is not thought of.

COMPLAINTS OF delay and irregu-
Lett. =, tho 1ol;ye~,- of the GAZETTE

COMPLAINTS OF delay and irregu-
larity in the delivery of the GAZETTE
to its mail subscribers are frequent.
The fault is not at the printing office,
and, it is believed, is not at the post
office in this city. But as it must be
somewhere, the postmaster here, for
his own sake, should ind out where
it is, and report it for remedy. 1t is in
timated that it is with the postal clerks,
who, it is said, may have so much let
ter mail to distribute that they don't
have time to attend tonewspapers until
their return trip. But if this be so the
Postofice Department would remedy
the evil if informed of it. 1t is great
mistake to suppose that newspapers are
of less importance to those who sub
scribe for them than private letters.
BY millions of people their newspaper
is considered in the light OF daily let
ter from their market town and from
all the people they or their friends
know or ever heard of and there are
thousands Of papers to every one letter.
1t is hoped this matter may be attend
ed to at once.

AFTER THE cholera scare shall be
over some of the scared people will
wonder why they ever allowed them
selves to be alarmed by such unsub-
stantial reports as reached them from
New York. Ii is absolutely certain
that not one single case Of real cholera
has occurred New York, and of the few
reported deaths from cholera on the
Quarantined ships and at the quaran-
tine stations there, it is doubtful if the
cause ofsuch deaths was not ship fever,
or some other disease generated by CON
fnement in a crowded and iii-ycntilated
steerage. with stale water and unwhoie-
some food, rather tam Asiatic cholera.
But the whole affair, from its COM
mencement, the arrival of the Moravia
with twenty-five deaths from cholera
infantum, TO the closing scene at Fire
Island, where healthy, bat starving
women and children attempting TO
land, were driven back to sea in an in
secure steamboat, with an empty lard
er, and kept there until courts and
troops came to their relief, has been
a cruel and grotcsque t.ayesty upon
American civilization.

The FACT that Maine, which in 1883
went republican by over twenty-three
thousand majority, now goes that way
by less than ten thousand, is well calcu-

think that all is not as we'll with him as
it might be for if the people of Maine
have begun to realize how they are
robbed by the high tariff, it is only
natural to suppose that those of all the

a PANTHER KILLS CuLDREN.-Kit-
ty Yancy, aged twelve years, and her
ten-year-old brother, Herbert. were
killed by panther in the woods near
their home at Warsaw, Mimi, ycster-
day. The children were on their way
to the school house, which is three
miles from their home. In order 10
reach the school they had to walk
through dense piece of woods. 1t is
presumed that while walking through
The woods, accompanied by their dog,
the dog discovered the panther and
barked at it. This cnraged the panther,
and in the fight that ensued the dog
was killed. Then the panther fell upon
the frightened children and buried its
teeth in the neck of the little girl, and
then killed the boy. Their bodies were
not mutilatcd. Farmers went in search
of the panther and killed it. 1t escaped
from Barnum's circus in the vicinity 4
week ago.
