"A case of scarlet fever has developed
in the family of Joseph Albaugh at Kel-
lettville, his five-year- old daughter being
the victim. The house in which Mr.. AL
baugh resides is one which Calvin
Hughes occupied and in which one of his
children died of scarlet fever about three
years ago. A quarantine was placed on
the premises on Saturday last, and it is
hoped to confine the disease to this one

cloudburst struck this vicinity Tuesday
night about ten o'clock and lasted until
after midnight. Much damage was done
in the upper part of town, particularly in
the washing out of gardens and the flood
ing OF streets and sidewalks. The walk
at the south end of the court house
grounds was considerably damaged. The
new road around the hill at the mouth of
Tubbs Run was quite badly washed and
Martin Salsgiver's house was flooded. 1t
was the heaviest rain in this section in
many years.
The presumption of some automo-
challenge admiration, says the Oil City
Blizzard. Out in the country as soon as
they see conveyance of any kind ahead
they commence footing their horns, in
expectation that the man with a team
will at once drive out into field or take

and only tends to create ill-feeling and
antagonism. The principle of "give and
take" should be applied.
On Monday evening between ten and
eleven o'clock strange auroral display
was witnessed by many of our people,
and there were many coDjectures as to
the nature and cause of the phenomenon
A line of milky whiteness extended clear
across the sky, running from southeast
to northwest, the ends disappearing be-
hind the high hills. The. line was
narrow at the lower ends, gradually
broadening until it reached the zenith.
1t was first noticed about ten o'clock,
when it was very bright, and gradually
faded away before eleven. 1t was as if
giant searchlights were sending their
rays across the sky from each horizon.
We are told that the woman who
wishes to prevent typhoid fever and var
ious infantile diseases in her family, will
do well to make large investment in
window and door screens. "Flies are
among the most dangerous of disease
conveyors," says an eminent physician,
"and one fly which was examined was
carrying on its legs 100000 disease bacte-
ria, and making straight for bottle of
milk. Flies spend their days in gather
ing up germs and get into the house at
night to distribute infection in food"
Typhoid is an autumnal disease, appear
ing more frequently in October, and in
looking back it will be found that flies
are most nraValent at the tima of its in
