Run, and Mrs. James Morgan of Tio
nesta. The appoiutment of Rev. Rum-
berger was changed, at his request, by
Bishop Newman, from Calaraugus, N.
Y., to East Brady, Fa. This gives the
Doctor a location much more desira
ble to himself, his family and his
many friends, who did not relish the
idea of his going so far away from
them. He went to his new field on
Friday last, and the regrets expessed
at his departure were universal and
sincere. Surely Dr. and Mrs. Rum-
ber and Miss Mary, their accomplished
daughter, bear with tbem to their new
home the very best wishes of all our
people.
In the October number of "Peter

years have decided the future publish
ers to call their periodical The New

The new board of health was out
on a lour of inspection last Saturday,
aud while they fouud several very
tough disease breeders in different
parts of the town, in the main they
found a pretly fair condition of things
existiug about people's backyards, in
private alleys, etc. The bad places
were duly reported to the Council,
which promises to have things righted
forthwith, and this is proper. People
should uot wait to be compelled to do
these things, but each individual should
have sufficient pride about him to keep
his premises in a healthy condiiiou
whether disease and pestilence threat
ens the country or not. Let all co
operate wilh the proper authorities in
these matters, and very shortly we
will have our town so throughly
cleaned that no scourge can find lodg
ment in our midst.
SAFE-CHACKEKS IN TOWN.
When all's quiet then lookout for
burglars. Last Saturday night an at
tempt was made to crack the postoffice
and Soowden & Clark safes, neither of
which proved successful, however. At
Ihe posloffice an entrance was effected
by prying open the back door, marks
of a square bar beiug plainly visible on
the door and jam. A quarter-inch
hole was drilled about half way
through the door just over and par
tially into the rim of the combination
lock. The attempt was abandoned at
this juncture, evidently because of
some peculiar mechanism iu the door
in which the drill could uot well be
worked. Postmaster Knox's overcoat,
rather a good one, of a sort of bloe
black shado, was taken. Also some
specimens of silverware knives, forks
aud spoous-whieh he had on exhibition.
A few cent's worth of stamps near the
mouey order window were not disturb
ed. A number of letters in May
Park & Co.'s box had been torn open.
Aside from these the postmaster dis
covered no unusual disturbances, aud
it is possible the burglars were fright
ened away before they had lime to
give the office a general ransacking.
At Scowden & Clark's carriage fac
tory an entrance was gained through
a side window. An attempt had been
made to open the safe, but also failed.
The knob which works the combina
tion was knocked off, but the lock was
not badly injured, aud the proprietors
were able to open their safe by the reg
ular way, after a little tiukeriug.
Nothing else about the premises was
disturbed. Mr. Scowden, whose resi
dence is near the shop, was disturbed
about one o'clock iu the night by the
uuusual barking of bis dog and got
up and quieted him. Ho believes this
may have frightengd the thieves.
No other places iu the town were
visited, and no clue has yet been dis
covered that would throw any light ou
the perpetrators. It may be possible
that this is the beginning the raid
along the Allegheny valley that may
be looked for almost regulaly about
this time of year. If j, towns above
and bulow us would do well to load up
for the brutes.

The goud news comes from New
York Ihnt the eholera scare is about
at an cod, unless there should be
a fresh outbreak, not now anticipated.
The fact coming to light that five
deaths from cholera had occurred iu
the city from September 6th to the
13tb, gave the country a genuine scare,
and caused much consternation in all
quarters as a natural consequence.
Happily, however, the latest official
bulletins from the board of health are
to the effect that no cases or suspected
cases have appeared in the city since
the 13th, and no deaths from cholera
since that dale. Al the quarantine
stations all is progressing quietly, and
new cases are a very rare thing. No
new pest ships have arrived for several
days and while the vigilance will be
rigidly kept up, it is not believed that
there will be any further trouble from
this source. The news from foreign
lands is much brighter, also, and the
returns throughout the plague stricken
sections know a steady decrease in
the virulence of the scourge.

John Haneok, a thrifty and well known

mile away, and that he would lie back by
noon. He was in his shirt sleeves. That
was ulno o'clock a. m., since which time
there are no tidings ot the mlslng man,
although fully threo hundred men and
boys have searched sinse his strange dis
appearance. Later The mystery in this
caso has been solved by the finding of
Hancox's body hanging by a rope tied to
a rafter in his brother's barn, three miles
from his own home, on Sunday last. Tho
ooroner's Jury returned a verdict of sui
cide. Some Points on Cholera.
Cholera is a bacterial disease. The
germ that causes it by attacking the
alimentar canal has been named the
"comma bacillus," because of its re
semblance in shape to the puuetuatioc
mark, the comma.
Although cholera germs are portable,
they will not propagate their kind un
der ordinary conditions, except in the
alimentary canal of the human being
or other auimal. Tbey will multiply
rapidly on gelatine in a "culture-tube,"
but they could hardly do the same
thing in any sort of fond on board of a
vessel. The moisture they require for
that purpose would quickly cause any
thiug edible lo decay and be destroy
ed. An ong the auxiliary causes for
cholera, fear of the disease is rated
high. Depressing emotions and in
temperance are likewise to be avoided
The panic which commonly prevails
duriug epidemics of the complaint at
tains such seriousness that it has earn
ed for itself the name of "cbolerapho'
bia." Uudersuch conditions ordinary
diarrbeca usually affect a large num
ber of persons without eveutuating in
cholera. At Ihe same time there is no
wonder that it occasiuus alarm, iuas
mucn as tne ureai disease Uselt gives
do warning of its attack, aside from
mild diarrhcea. So little are patients
conscious of their danger they often
apologize for giving the physioian the
trouble of visiting them, when a glance
suffices to show him that tbey are on
the verge of fatal collapse.
The first thiug requisite is to check
the diarrhoea. If prompt measures are
taken for that purpose, the patient will
nearly always recover without further
symptoms. But a delay of half an
hour is ofton fatal. Collapse super
venes, and then there is little hope
A few drops f f laudanum with cam
phor, iu repeated doses, will stop the
diarrhoea. However, the best lemedy,
according to the famous Dr. Austin
Flint, is salt of morphia in doses of
one grain each, placed on the tongue
and repeated at intervals of 30 to 45
minutes until the diarrhaa ceases,
Where vouiitiog renders this method
impracticable, the remedy should be
giveu by the rectum, and, where the
symptoms are urgent, both methods
should be tried, livery moment is
precious, for, if the object is uot
promptly affected, collapse is likely
to ensue, the diarrhiea causing a rapid
disorganization of the blood.
The cholera exhibits three phases,
which are spoken of as choleragio
diarrbu-a, cholerine, and fully devel
oped cholera. a Choleragio diarrbu-a
has little characteristics about it at
first, save numerous thin, watery
stools as many as five to forty iu one
day which soon lose their normal
color. Then follows loss of appetite,
great thirst, pain in the limbs, and a
peculiar hoarseness of the voice.
The disease is termed cholerine as
soon as vomiliug is combiued with tbe
purging. This stage gradually passes
into that of cholera itself. Tbe vomit
ing and diarrhiea increase, the stools
assume the so called rice water appear
auce. The action of ibe heart grows
weaker; the skin grows pule, cold, and
blueisb-white; the face assumes a lead
en hue; the cheeks fall iu, the features
become pinched; the eyes sink deep in
their sockets. This stage seldom lasts
more than two days, aud generally
death ensues within a few hours.
A remarkable amount of muscular
coutortious occur within a few hours
after death, sufficient in some cases to
cause the body to change its position,
thus giving rise to the report that the
dead have come to life, or were butied
alive.
In order to prevent the spread of
cholera, obviously the most important
thing to know is bow the germs are
distributed. The coroplaiut beiug a
disease of the alimentary canal, the ba
cilli are only contaiued iu the dis
charges from tbe bowels of the patient
aud in the vomit. Accordingly, these
must be promptly destroyed, and not
throwu away. They should not be
permitted to pass iuto the sewers, be
cause the latter empty iuto rivers usu
ally. It is probale that tbe germs
most commonly find their way iuto
the body iu drinking water.
India aud Arabia are the home of
cholera. Tho disease is always alive
there in mme localities.
The present epidemic originated nar
the bead waters of the Ganges in the
northwestern provinces nf India, about
March of this year, and was rapidly
spread by tho pilgrims returning home
ward from the great Hurdwar fair
Passing through Cashmere and Af
ghanistan, the scourge reached Persia
about tbe first of June, and thence
crossed the Caspian Sea to Asiatic
Russia, aud thence into Europe.
