FIVIUIST STAtUABT.
We are pleased to note that our people
are delighted in regard to Ibe prompt man
ner in which the new constable extermi
nates corner loafers, and hope that he will
let the "good wore go on " It is exceeding
ly embarrassing tor young ladles to pass
theso Idlers, who congregate at different
daces on our streets making themselves
conspicuous by the free use of coarse, .yul
gar language. But by the prompt action
of the constable we will soon have Ibe
satisfaction of seeing this nuisance, so preva.
lent during warm weather, stopped.

Although the tlmo is yet many weeks
distant, candidates for the nomination of
the reveral county offices are beginning to
ook up their chances. It is surprising to
note what a number of men will be "iu the
hands ol their friends" at the coming fall
convention. This borough will, no doubt,
furnish the usual number of men who are
willing to become the servants of the people
for a valuable pecuniary consideration.

lug peculiar 'luck'Jstory to friends i "Dar
ing the winter I worked at my trade of
ahoe-inaking, Whon out of work I travel
afoot through the country, collecting old
tin cans, which I lake home. 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. When within a
mile ol Parry Tills I was grestly surprised

Fever Epldemlo at Plymouth.
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.
