Miss Rebecca Smithers, an aged lady Of
our town. was stricken with paralysis last
Saturday Miss Smithers is an early riser
and Mrs. Bethards a lady residing IN part
of the house, became alarmed when MISS
Smithers did not put in her appearance
long after her accustomed hour for rising.
She went to her bed chamber door and
called. but receiving no response had the
door forced open. Miss Smithers was
found wing on the bed unconscious. DR..
Hoey was summoned at once, but we fear
medical skill is useless as she has not
spoken since she was stricken, and being
quite old but little hope is entertained OF her
recovery. Mr.. Samuel Smithers, of Phlla'
delphia. and Mr. John Smithers, of Ches-
apeake City, her brothers, were sent for
and are now with her. Mrs. Mary Brown
is also very ill. She is the mother OF Or.
