EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID.

fever. There are from twelve To
fifteen cases and one death has oc-
currcd--a Young woman named
Young. There are also a grcatmany
cases of the same disease in the
country around thetown, The cpl
demic is II mystery. The water 81
ply OF the town is one of the best in
the country and the sanitary condi-
ton of the town is said to be good.
The fact that the epidemic is not

Fire at Northumberland,

The Northumberland correspond
ent to the Sunbury Item Monday of
this week says:
About 4 o'clock Monday morning
fire alarm was sounded by the
whistles ut VanAllen's iron works
which aroused our people, when it
was found that a fire was burning in
Colt't store room, occupied by Harry
II. Harter as a general store. The
fire company was quickly at work
and played Il steady stream on the
building. The smoke was so dense
that it was impossible to tell at
which part of the building the fire
was, so that the contents of the room
was saturated with water. The fire
was the result Of II robbery. The
window in the rear of the store had
been plied open and muslins, shoes
ard other goods were toundin an adj
joining yard and in rear of lot and
it is thought the robbers carclcssly
threw matches and fired the build
ing which frightened them away be-
fore they could carry away all of
the booty. The fire was first dis
covered by John f. Colt, who gave
the alarm. The building is owned
by John Il. Colt and with the loss
of shelving and counters the loss
will be about 500, fully insured.
The stock of Mr.. Harter was insur-
ed for $4,000 which will cover his
loss. Mr.. Harter will occupy the
room next to Fishers barber shop
until the former room can be repair
ed for his occupancy. The p.ompt
arrival of the fire laddcs is greatly
appreciated bv the assured.

In Vacation Time.

Vacation is the season of "eat,
sleep and read," the time when the
business man removes himself from
the cares of routine office, reads, turns
his attention to home comforts and
home, and makes up his mind that
he wants this or that; longbefore he
buys it, becausehe has then the time
in which toconsider it. The asser-
ton can be safely made that one-half
of the goods purchased, between the
first Of september and the first of
December, have been bought in the
mind Of the purchaser, during, July
and August, even through he him
self may not have realized that he
had invclnntarilymade the decision.
