—The alarming prevalance of diph

preventure and cure of the disease to
be a subject for general consideration.
Sulphur, crude oil, and many other
things are recommended as remedies
and cleanliness and proper food are
recommended as preventatives. Cel
lars should be lept clean, decaying
vegetable matter left therein, poisons
the air, which in turn poisons fresh
meat, milk and other eatables and

children should be kept from the sick,

—FIIIE IN I'lTLEß. —Shortly before
five o'clock ln.«-t Sunday afternoon the
people of this town were startled by
1 the rapid ringing of the fire bells, and
flames were seen issuing from a
frame house ne:ir the new Witherspoon
Institute occupied by Mr. W. E. Reed,
who moved into it, from Summit
township, a few days ago. The house
caught from a defective kitchen flue,
and the scarcity of water in the vicin
ity rendered it isnitossible to put it out.
The hose compni s weie promptly on
the ground, but as there was no fire
plug nearer than that on Jefferson
street, at the depot, they could do
nothing to save the building, which
was entirely consumed iu an hour or
two. Mr. Reed with the help of his
neighbors managed te save most of his
household goods, the windows, doors,
stair-railing and some other things,
but lost some grain stored in the sec
ond story of the house. The house
was built in IS7 ,by Mr AJlen Wil
son, but had become the property of
the Pari.er and Butler Savings Banks
and Ist National Hank of this place.
It was a six room frame house, and
cost about $1,500, and was not in
sured.

any other to the seat of the disease,

discovery, it has resulted in more cures
within the range of our observation
than all the others put' together.

to attrnct attention as an able expose
of the ideas on which our present svs

the Beformers will have to take into ac
count if thev hope to effect anv radical
chancre in the practice hitherto followed
bv both parties. "The Authors of
