HERE is much alarm over tho ravages which pnouinonla, grippo and kindred disoasos aro making among tho woll known and vory prom, inont people of this county and which over way ono turns ho finds a mourner for somo dear friend or relative Tho grippo is especially ravaging and it is impossiblo to keep traco of all tho cases. Dr. Marshall, of Ashland, is said to havo 250 caos under his oaro. Almost half tho population of Ashland sooms to be victims of tho dlsoaso and tho peoplo of Girardvillo aro also succumbing in largo numbers. Closo upon thoannounccmcntsof tho doatliB of General Lilly and A. W. Loisenring comes that of tho well-known oculist and aurist, Dr. Charles T. Palmer, of Pottsvillo. His death was duo to congestion of tho Iuugs, which was precipitated by a sovero cold, although tho eminent specialist had suffered from asthma for about forty yoars. Dr. Palmer was a sou of tho lato Hon. Robert M. Palmor, who was United States Minister to tho Argentino Confederation unuer rrosiaeni Lincoln, mo doctor was in Ws 51st yoar. Ho graduated from tho Pennsylvania University in 1801 aud after wards served two years as resident -physician in tho Wills Eyo Hospital, Philadelphia. Upon leaving that institution Dr. Palmer iocatod in Pottsville and after a brief general practice of modicino and surgery gavo it up on account of failing health and becaino a specialist in oyo disoasos. Tho latter practico ho continued to the tlmo of his doath. Dr. Palmer at one timo took au activo part in tho polities in this county and in 1870 was elected Coroner on the Labor Reform ticket. Ho was also a prominent momber of several Pottsvillo societies, among them Pulaski Lodge, F. & A. M.; Mountain City Chapter, R. A. M.; Minors' Lodgo I. O, O. F., and Gowen Post, G. A. R. Tho doctor served in tho 23th Rcgt., Pa. Vol., during tho war. A wife and two children, a boy aud a girl, turvivo tho deceased. The local list ofgrippo cases is vory largo but fortunately thoro has been but ono fatal caso, tho victim boing Michael Toomey, the venerablo father of Justico Toomoy, of tho First ward. Mr. Toomoy's death occurred at his homo on East Lloyd street. His ad vanced age made It impossible for him to with stand tho effects of a severe cold he contracted and it gradually developed into tho now com mon disease, grippe.

OBB'3 OBSERVATIONS. What He Sees unit Hears During Ills Tmvrld. Thoro aro somo whimsical poopln in tho coal regions but none aro moro bo then those who Hvo In tho patches which nre scattered through tho valley between this town and Girardvillo. Tho other altcrnoon I chaucod to bo in a in a store on Main stroot which is patronized by a largo number of tlieeo people aud an hour or so spent there daring tho busy hours pass as morrlly as tho timo spent in witnessing tho production of a first class farce comedyln the hands of a company of good comedians. On this particular afternoon a little old Irishwoman, wearing brogans, a dark colored quilted skirt, a black shawl and black sun bonnet, walked into tho store. Though she seemed to bo well up in yoars she was qulto sprightly on hor feet and thoro was a nils chiovous twinkle in her oyo. Slio walked past mo nud after casually glancing over tho other peoplo iu tho store, sho leaned back wards against the counter and keeping time by tapping tho too of ono of her brogans upon the lloor, commonccd singing in au undertone loud enough for ouo to cutch tho words : On stumpy Held slope she Is tied wid a ropo, This nunny of whom I now tell; Hhe Is busy all day stowln' grano grass away, Wid water thai comes from the well.

I was caught by tho quaint molody, but unfortunately allowed a suillo to cscapo and, noticing it with rather a slurp look, tho old lady moved moro towards tho roar of tho store and stopped before a pile of ginghams, I followed aud succeeded in getting closor to tho quaint old woman without arousing suspicion and was rewarded a moment later by hearing her sing as before, while turning over th t several pieces of goods : Wild llowcrs blue, dandelions and dew. All go down tho llttls red lane To make milk swntc and clear, much better nor beer. On your noho It will loavo no red stain. CHOllUS. Nanny, nanny, nanny, sthand alsy, Whllo I am mllkln' you don't wink your eye. Hhure your shakln' your bead now as It you were crazy Whist you, acushlal I'll brush off the files. By this timo a number of tho customers had been awaited upon aud left the store. It was tho turn of tho quaint character. "What can I do for you, Mrs. 1" asked tho clork, with a courtesy. " Shure, an' I was thlukin' of askin' what it is worth to stand hero an' watch yer goods for yer whilo ycr away llko this," was tho tho first sally. I felt at first that tho reply was a reflection upou myself, but dismissed tho thought when tho woman allowed a short laugh to escape and followed it with a rcquost of tho clerk for "a pound of butter. Tho object of my attention followed tho clerk to tho rear ofthoBtoro and I kept within hearing distance. "Itsanico day, but vory cold," said the woman, sitting upon a stool at ono of tho counters. "Howly sailorl Is it you Mrs. " "It is." "I see it is.'Aud how is all the fam'ly 1" "Good." "Good. God bless yo. I'm glad to hear it." "Shure you have a long way to travel to town, Mrs. " "Jiminy Johnson 01 don't think it fur. 01 kin walk from the house to church in wan hour, but that's not win tho wathor is abovo yer anklo and washiu' in and out betwano yer toes." "Shure, Mrs. , yor howlding' ycr ago well, thanks be to God, but this is terrible weather fur yer to be a-trampin' about in tho slop." "An' 6huro 01 don't inoiud it a bit, as tho man said when ho was haugiu'." At that niomeut the clerk handed the old woman the butter she had asked for. As she took the parcel sho said to the clerk, "Shuro its a foine giutlemen and good scholar ye are. Ye kin put this in yer book wid the rest fer it will never be lost. Yer as good in keeping accounts as the best safe in the laud. Now Oi must hurry homo or this butter will bo running out of tho couuthry. I forget to bring a bucket.

A STEP FOR PROTECTION Mrvli(ni(rt ltf;liinliiff to Gel NonoiH Over tlio Itocent IliirglurloH An Informal MfMtlnj; Held lliit Xnlliiiig OHlntto Doiio Some Suggestions i VERY offort to trace tho 1 burglars who com mitted tho soveu-hun-dred-dollar burglary on Last Centre street has failed ignominious ly and tho porpotrators of tho crime seem to bo beyond all danger of capture, notwithstand ing a tompting' reward of $G0. Ouo of tho greatest obstacles mot in tho tracing of such cases is tho inability or un willingness of the victims to oxpend monoy to follow up tho cluos. It is said that if there had been somo funds for expenses tho burglars might havo been run down within a fow miles of this town, but it is now bolioved they havo used tho $375 in cash they secured to get somo miles away. A fow business mon got together yesterday aftomoon and informally discussed a proposi tion to contribute to a fund to bo used in following up such oases. Ono gentleman present saldjthcro aro merchants' protective agencies which could bo called into play. Many of tho Shamokln merchants belong to them. . Ono of tho debaters raid during his remarks, "Wo havo enough to convince us that those thieves aro too much for our town olllchils aud nothing can be douo without assistance from outside detectivo forces." Anothorsald, "Ouo of thoso cases thor oughly worked up wonld open the eyes of the people aud put Jan end to the detpredations for a whllo." Ono of tho mcrchauts wantedRto organize an association for protection and another wanted a committco appointed to investigato and report some method, but it was finally decided to first interest others and then hold a formal meeting. Wo'll havo to do something," said a promt nont grocer, as ho left the place where tho meeting was held, "or tome morning wo will wako up and find some very serious damage done." The reason whv Arnica. & Oil Liniment is so popular with the ladles is because it not only is very healing and soothing hut its odor is'not at all offensive. lm OBITUARY. Mri. (ieorgo A.
