Subsequently I remove the solder and stralghtau-lhn tin, which I afterwards sell nr trade for leather. At the opening of spring I had several hundred cans on hand which I had in t found time to operate on. In one! of these esns I placed my winter saving", amount ing to about $17. House cleaning time came, and with it the spring Irerhet. My wife, wishing to make the house Inviting, threw nut the tin cans (including the one wherein were my savings,) Intending to aloro theui In some nut-nl the tray place. The cans were washed away by the spring waters, and 1 gave up all hopes of ever finding my money. This morning I lea home for Bethlehem In purchase leather. On my way to Parrvyille I cin across a number of cans which had been washed several miles, by the rains, Irom my house. I pirked up '.he cans, and at Intervals I placed them on piles, preparatory to taking them home on my return.

The town of Plymouth, a few miles from Wilkesbarre, and baring a population of about 7000, is suffeilng from a severe epi demic of a disease bearing a close resemb lance to typhoid 'fever. The symptoms are generally similar to thoso of that disease, but, In aiditlnn, those attacked suffer from an ague, very much like that caused by malarial fever. There Is known to he In the neighborhood of 300 cases now under the hsnds of Ihe doctors. Tho town con tains fourteen physicians, and one of them has no less than sixty cases on his hands. The disease has been of very sudden ap pearance, not haying been noticed tn any extent before the advent of the hot weath r, and la spreading with great rapidiyt and causing the utmost alarm. There have been so far thirteen fatal cases, and many others seem beyond recovery. It is sup posed that the epidemic Is due lo the water which Is almost entierly drawn Irom the Susquehanna riverand is polluted wlth.the sewerage ot Wilkesbarre, Scran ton and all the towns on Ihe course of the river as far Binghaintnn. The borough authorities haye been appealed to, and some energetic sanitary measures are In contemplation. 'Welssport Itoms.
