''Now that is nice girl; but she does
not know how that sort of thing looks tc
people. 1t is sad TO see a young girl low
er herself TO that extent, but what can be
said of a fellow who has no more man
hood and sense of decency than TO put
such an indignity upon respectable girl
and make her an object of comment
among observant people ?"
Within the past few days several cases
of supposed membraneous Group have
developed into aggravated cases of diph-
iberia in Warren, Stoneham, and Claren-
don, until now the condition is certainly
alarming at least. Prof. Herman Briggs,
biologist of the Health Department of the
city OF New York, has recently reported
on the matter to the effect that membran-
Gus Group is laryngeal diphtheria, and is
liable to cause cases of similar charac-
ter or of diphtheria of the ordinary type,
and the Board of Health have after a
careful examination of large number OF
cases declared it contagious. Prof.
Briggs report says that during the last
four months "a per cent of the cases of so
called membraneous Group have proved
to be diphtheria. Again we repeat to
parents and physicians Watch men,
braneous Group Warren Ledger.
At the reunion of the Eighty-third reg.
iment at Titusville recently, there was
present Levi L. Lamb, of Cambridgebo-
ro, who enlisted at Meadville in 1861, in
response to Abraham Lincoln's first call
for troops. Pennsylvania has but one
war pensioner-thas is, the state pays a
pension to but one of the many thousands
of brave men who answered Lincoln's
call to arms,-and that pensioner is Mr..
Lamb. At the battle of the Wilderness al
Laurel Hill, near Spottsylvania, on the
morning of May 4, 1864, Lamb was des-
perately wounded in an assault. He
came out of the hospital with both arms
useless forever, and was dischared in
December, 1864. The late Senator Nor.
row b. Lowry, of Erie, was then men,
Der of the legislature. At the session OF
1865 he was instrumental in securing the
passage of a bill giving a state pension OF
Lowry has been dead many years, but
Lamb still answers the roll at the annual
reunions of the veterans of his regiment
and still draws the pension to which he
is so fairly entitled.
Bro. Bowen of the Oil city Blizzard
writes to his paper some interesting facts
concerning the Indians of the Far West,
among whom he has been hunting. He
says the Indians on the Sissiton and Wah-
peton reservation recently sold land to
the Government, and receive interest
each year amounting to 500 for each one
of them, old and young. When they get
this money the traders have a picnic
The Indians and their money are soon
parted. Some of their purchases are un-
ique enough. Some time ago there was
considerable rivalry among the bucks as
to carriages. Each wanted one a little
better than the others. One came to Mil
bank, and after looking over the convey
ances of different kinds he struck on q
hearse with glass sides. This suited him
and he purchased it. He took it home
and created something of sensation by
piling in his squaw and papoose and driv'
ing through the town.
Another bought piano, took it home
and instead of putting it in the house
planted it in the yard and used it for {
hitching post. Another tepee had cab
met organ in front of it, to which was
tied calf. A jeweler, in town neal
the reservation, got in quite a stock o
clocks. He was beginning to fear ht
would have them on hand long time
when one day buck happened to be il
the store when one of them struck thu
hour of day. He was favorably impressed
and at once purchased clock. He start
ed out with it under his arm, and every
time he met an acquaintance he would
touch the spring and make it strike. II
a short time all the clocks were sold.
