Committee Meeting. The members of the County Committee are requested to meet at the Pennsylvania House, in MitHintown, on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1878, at 11 o'clock A. St., to complete arrange ments fjr a vigorous campaign. Every wrong Further on in the same article it comes to nearly a definite conclusion as to when, what it calls in its apol ogy a mysterious confusion of fig ores, occurred. It says that an indi vidual from this town went to the Lower End on Saturday and came back on Sunday with the returns from the Lower End, and that be showed them to a "Little Band of Brothers." The judge of the district in the Lower Endoscopy of the returns of which tb individual from this place brought up on Sunday, and upon which the "little band of brothers" held a con sultation, is left out of the charge, and the whole of it is put on the "lit- ue Dana ot brothers. But who are the "little band of brothers" that are charged with fixing the district up for Wagner T Tell who thev are ; but when you do toll, also tell that if the whole vote of the particular dis trict referred to in the Lower End, the Patterson vote, and the vote in Black Log had all been polled against Wagner, the result would have been just that many totes less for him, but without them he would have had a majority. It abandons its charge in Patter son, and leaves the question solely to Wilson and Thomas, which in nnt just tho fairest way of getting itself out oi a noose. The apology with draws the charge from all the judges, excepting the judge from Black Log ; his ways are pronounced as having been crooked. It is a wonderful come down for the Democrat and Register, to member should be present, so that a united eflort can be made to do our share of the j bak down from a charge against the work in the important campaign upon which Ju'J?es as a body, and apologize, and we are about to enter. JOHX T. aOCRSE, Chairman. The Altoooa Tribune of the 12th inst published the following shocking occur rence : The correspondent of the Tbibum at U illianisburg, Galia,' writes the following account of a shocking occur rence in that village under date of Wednesday: A terrible calamity befel our esteem ed fellow citizen, Dr. Paul ham us, and bis lovely and accomplished daughter EleaDor, last evening. J t seems that a oouple of week? ago two tramps cap tured a pair of enormous reptiles which the doctor pronounced to be of that deadly species known as "blowing vi. per.' The doctor, having a desire to contribute something that would com mend itself from this district, purchas ed the reptiles, intending to forward them to the zoological gardens in Phil sdelphia. Biditig their transportation the soaKes were placed in s iarze c!bs jar, the top being carefully secured by a wire auze. The jif was then placed no an elevated bracket in a remote corner of the Doctor's office. Last evening the doctor aud his daughter weie returning from a visit to the coun try, and, the doctor having an occasion to make up a prwriptioa they both entered bis office, tbe doctor Hcnting a lamp. And now comes tbe terrible de nouement. A larze owl swept in through tbe transom above tbe door, and flew with the speed of an arrow against the lamp, knocking it over and scattering tbe oil and broken glass in every direction. Tbe bird seemed frantic, flying and dashing in every direction, while a general crash of bot tles and glasses was heard on every side. Meantime the doctor had lit an other match, but just in time to receive bis dauebter, who sprang with a wild ery to bis arms, and in a moment real ized tbe situation. The owl had dis loged the jar from the bracket, and tbe Vipers were at large. Speedily be groped his way, calling loudly for help, which, tbe hour being late, was slow to put in an appearance. They seemed slow, but scarcely five minutes elapsed until full a dozen ladies and brave men were on tbe spot. No liv ing band can indite the horrors of tbe next few nnnnteg. Miss Eleanor, who bad been insensible since she spraiig to her father's arms, was now being cared for by the ladies, when one sim ultaneous shriek froze the brood and paralyzed each nerve yet not all! It was Thomas Lutz's band that seized the glittering reptile by the neck aud choked its fearful fangs apart. It bad bitten the lady midway between tbe ankle and tbe knee. She was now car ried immediately to ber borne, where every known antidote for poison was administered by her now frantic father, but all to no avail. She died at 6:30 o'clock this morning. After taking the poor unfortunate young la 'y home some of the men, knov. ing tlure bad been two snakes, returned to tbe ctE.se and soon dispatched tbe other. An exami nation showed its two large fangs miss ing. TLts led to the conjecture that possibiy the doctor bad been bitten. A hasty return and close examination re sulted in finding tbe fangs in tbe thick leathers of the doctor's boot", who, be ing so alarmed for his daughter, bad not tbe slightest knowledge of being truck. The corpse of the young lady has swollen to enormous dimensions, while ber general complexion is in harmony with the spots and general coloring of tbe snake. Tbe largest of the snakes measured four and a half feet, tbe smallest four feet. Tbey are pro nounced by our old people tbs largest ef the species. It was the shortest one of tbe two tbat bit tbe young lady. Our community is wild with excite ment, and great sympathy is manifested for tbe doctor and his family, who have been here but a short time. charge crookedness on one judge and a "little bard of brothers, but it is more honorable to so apologizo than to have clung to mistaken informa tion or to a willful falsehood. The judge from Black Log, and the " lit tle band of brothers" most likely will have something to say on the ques tion, and in all probability the Dem ocrat and Register will be called on to further explain. On Saturday, W. W. Rokcndafler, a citi zen of Mexico, came to this town, and re mained through the evening to attend Parker's auction, where, among other goods, he bought a conple of hand towels. About 10 o'clock at oigbt be left for home, in com pany with a young man named Kauffoian, who lives in the first house along the pike on this side ot John Gallaber's borne in Walker township.

Women in child-birth, sur rounded by little ones, quartered in tents, see one by one pass from their sight on to the hospital, thence to the grave. Soon the babe is born, yellow as gold ; the mother lincers a few days, and then she, the last of tne household, is put under the ground. We save no women who are attacked. Yesterday a woman and two pretty daughters, of twelve and sixteen years, walked from the train to my tent and reported for assign ment to quarters. . From my famil iarity wuu tne disease 1 at once re marked: "Why, woman, your two girls have the fever." The eldest one said : "No, sir ; indeed, I never felt better in my life. I had a little chill yesterday, but am well now." Her pulsed showed 125, temperature 104 ; eyes glassy, skin puffed and the whole countenance a beautiful pink. In order to quiet and gratify the mother i put up a tent near me for the night Nest morning I had them examined and both were sent to the hospital I was down there this noon. The mother was prostrate with nervous prostration and the children lie in the Potter's field. This disease is yellow fever, or is, in fact, the malarial fever of this coast, intensified by the germs of ship or Asiatic fever. It is the most subtle scourge the world has expe rienced, and baffles all medical skill. A person of intelligence, when first attacked with the malarial symptoms, if he be administered to at once with the usual treatment, wrappeed up in blankets anil nursed carefully, may pull through. None but the rich can in times Lko the present command special attention. The masses are treated by the wholesale, and all alike ; few recover. The first symptoms are heaviness and a slight chill, then suppression of the urine, puffed face, glassy eye, beautiful flushed skin, pink eye lids, pulse 120, temperature 103 to 106. Soon vomito begins, which is simply a slight, hawking sound and 6pittiug of a coffee-grorrnd substance from the stomach, which sinks to the bottom of the vessel. The patient, after each emission, fells well and would get up if allowed. No pain, no evi dence of concern, either by look or action. The pulse begins to run down to 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40 ; then comes the pinched nostril and me chanical breathing. They sit up ; want to get np ; are induced to lie down, and quietly pass away. The other night, as I was making the rounds, I saw a woman return ing from the infirmary with a vial of medicine. It was raining a little. She went into her tent, lit a candle and lay down. In a few moments I heard an alarm. Women and chil dren were running wild about that portion of the camp. . I hastened there, when my eyes beheld a most How ice on si stent for Mr. Speer to de nounce tbe high prices of everything dur ing the war, and then, in the next breath, advocate an iasoe of greenbacks such as would bring back the high prices and all their accompanying extravagances, until re pudiation cornea in to stop the carnival of inflation, and bring about harder times than the present generation ever experienced.
