To the Common Council of Emporium, Pa.
GENTLEMEN:-I herewith hand YOU q COM
muncation from the Borough Board of Health,
requestth- UGr 4IDIuiaUIG ooGy 60 thhG I.uIue-
diatc action in the matter of providing Il tenn
porary pest house for use in case Ofan emergency
and in this connection | wish TO .ay that with
the epidemic of Small PoX prevailing il
many surrounding counties it viii be exceeding
strange If We are not also visited.
Under these circumstances, most heartily ap-
prove and endorse the request of or local Board
of Health and would respectfully suggest that
the cd building now located on the proposed site
be utilized as tar as possible. This building is
15Sl6 feet, has tight roof aud can be made to
answer every purpose for small amount Of
money. All that is needed is to put in a double
boarded floor, board the building outside, one
thickness, hemlock, and put in one door and one
window, everything as cheap as possible.
Further than this nothing need be provided till
such time as we may have a tenant for the house,
when stove, a cot and bedding can be sent to
the building along with the patient. In this way
we may provide refuge from the weather and 4
place of detention at the smallest possible eXpen-
diture and leave everything that can he done
quickly till such time rs the building is called
into use.
My term as Burgess is so nearly finished that
should not send you this message at this time did
not feel that this matter ought not to go another
day without action.
Our local board ofhealth is perfectly com petent
TO take charge of this matter and | would most
earnestly recommend that you pass resolution
providing for the necessary expense, and if you
think best designate one or Two Of your mem
bers as a committee to represent your Honorable
body and to corporate with the Board of Health
till such time as the danger from small poX shal.
seem past Sincerly Yours,

If You Have a Nose and Ear for
Amusement.

If you want to amuse a party of
friends, ask one of them to catch hold
of his nose with his right hand and of
his right ear with his left hand. After
he has done so tell him to place each
hand in a reverse position-that is, he
must catch hold of his nose with his
left hand, and at the same time grasp
his left ear with his right hand. Tel
him to repeat this operation several
times, and the more often he does it,
the more amusement he will furnish
for the company, since he will find it
ever more and more difficult to grasp
his nose and ear, and will spend con-
siderable time searching for them in
places where they cannot possibly be,

oh, fair and rarely gifted friend
Your magic tones appear
To touch, with equal power, the springs
That force smile or tear.
Its discords or its harmones,
The hearts unnumbered strings,
Your art draws forth each separate note
Or its full concord rings.
Meanwhile l note the matchless grace
Ofbeauty's form and line
The acme ofexpressions power,
The human form divine.
The eye alight with passions fire,
Now softly glows with love;
The lightning of the eagles glance,
The cooling of the dove.

A feeling more intense
Than common mortals think and fell.
Comes through thy finer sense.
