A horrible story comes from Akron, 0, Within a short time 300 cases of so-called malarial fever have been reported in the place, including about 150 pupils of a Catholic school. A few days ago a well in an adjoining yard was examined and with other rubbish in the bottom the decomposed remains of an infant were found. There was a horrible stench in the well. Children and neighbors had been drinking the water for many weeks. Up to last Tuesday evening no less than twelve deaths had occurred, all caused by the water from the well. Ore euvastle market.

And this is weather—last year at this time old Winter was here in force. Ji-dok Foi.oKR, of New York, is President Arthur's nc^ Secretary of the Trea-
sury.
Vesnor predicts a very mild winter, but you had better lay in a good supply of fuel, all the same. Ex-Senator Howe is to succeed McVcagh as Attorney-General, and it is said no further Cabinet changes will be made for the present. The fact should be remembered that under the new laws of this State, all births have to be reported to the County Clerk for registration. Each month the Clerk has to make a full report of all marriage licenses and return to tne State Census Bureau. A very sensible idea and costs the people a trifie only. The current manias in Pennsylvania and Indiana are curiously related. The Quaker State has its thoughts largely turned on the end of life, and its mania is graveyard insurance. Indiana, on the other hand, which has become famous for its laws of matrimony and divorce, has for the object of its current mania marriage benefit associations. And Indiana postmasters are indignant, yea. very indignant. They are also aftlicted with official ague and shake in their boots for fear that their successors in office will be appointed too soon. They are, generally, the appointees of Tyner, a-sistant postmaster general. Air. Tyner has been requested to resign by the President. The principle reason alleged for the removal of Tyner is tlwt some years ago ho made a report which set forth frauds in the Star Route contracts in tha West. This report he caused to be placed hpon the records of the Department, but otherwise hc suppressed its publicity. The theory upon which his removal was asked was that, knowing frauds to be in existence undtv bis verry nose, so to speak, as an officer was derelict in his duty in not calling them to the attention of those higher in authority. The belief is he caused the report to be put on the Department recoids so that if at a subsequent time the exposure should come he could refer to the document and say, “I told you so.” The hunters are abroad in the land, ami we publish this notice not for the benetit of true sportsmen, but for those murderers who do not give the birds a chance. The new laws read: ' Whoever nets or traps quail at any time shall be fined not more than $50 nor less than $10 for each offense. Each act for netting or trapping shall be deemed and held to be a separate and distinct offense, and punishable as such.’’ Section 1898 reads as follows: ‘ Whoever shoots or destroys, pursues for the purpose of shoot-
be handy for reference : 1. Never give the idea that you rail because yo i happened to be in the neighborhood. 2. Never plead that you are in absolute need of the money. 3. Never explain why you want the money further than by some general phrase, as to meet outstanding bills. The debtor is usually an expert in showing a man how he can get along without money. He will worst you in argument, and if you lose your temper it is an excuse to him why he should not pay. 4. Always be civil, however businesslike and importunate you may deem it necessary to be. 5. Never think you have done wrong because a debtor gets angry. His anger, under civil treatment, shows that ho does not intend to pay. This you might as well know early as late. 6 Show quite as firm a resolution to get the money on your tenth call as on any previous one, or else it would have been better if you hud not made it. 7. Never leave a debtor without his setting a time when he thinks ho can pay ( and never fail to be on hand at the time
set.
8. As between yourself and an employee, let the most businesslike of the two make the dun. 9. Suggest installments. Shame the debtor into making an arrangement to pay something every week or every month. If not $10, then $5, or $3, or $1. It will convince him that you have set to work in earnest to get the money. 10. If a debtor gets angry, or has worn out your patience, a threat to attach his salary may be effective, not so much that
davits which the Supreme rourt judgos deem sutlicient, the verdict against him
will be annulled.
12. His jury, though conscious of his guilt, may, if they sympathize with his crime, or if they are bamboozled and befogged a ad led to mistake the nature of the proof required, may fund him not guilty when they know him to bo guilty. When once so found, as the people have no appeal, and he cannot twice be put in jeopardy, he is free. 13. On a motion for a new trial or in arrest of judgment, his counsel may have the judgment, of the twelve men reconsidered by the court, and if the court disagree with the jury, he is free. 14. In the Supreme court he may be discharged on a question of practice, or for alleged insufficiency of the evidence,
or from caprice.
15. If the Supreme court confirm the judgment the governor may pardon him. 1G. If the governor will not pardon him he may go out of the state and then the lieutenant-governor may pardon him. 17. If the worst comes to the worst, he can now and then break jail.

A curious case has just been decided in the California courts. Nicholas Sepulveda and Francisco Salazar a cre jointly indicted for the crime of grand larceny, and tried together in the Santa C!«ra county coart. The jiwy rendered a s-rdict in these words : "We, the jury, find the dcfendences guilty as charged in
the inditisment.” The clerk, in record- F, f T~ l A * 1 ’TC )T\T H1

as there were two defendants on trial, a verdict finding the defendant guilty, without specifying which of the two defendants, was void for uncertainty. A motion was then made in the Superior Court upon the part of Sepulveda that hu be discharged upon the grounds, first, that he was in jeopardy by the former trial, and as the discharge of the jury was unauthorized and illegal, he was released thereby ; second, that by the verdict and the construction of it by the Supreme Court one of the defendants was acquitted, and as it could not be made to j appear which of the defendants was ac-! quitted, either was entitled to the benefit of the presumption of acquittal, hu-1 perior Judge Beldeen has just decided that he sees no escape from the conclusion that the defendant is entitled to his discharge under the verdict in the case, and consequent!} Sepulveda has been set
at liberty.
John McDade, Chief of Police at Quincy, III., was a frequent uiayer in Tom Jackson’s gambling house, and the relations between the two men were not so amicable as commonly exists between policemen and gamblers. McDade lost heavily, and ho accused Jockson of cheat-

If he can find no nail and must go to jail, the persons against whom the crime was committed may find it inconvenient to appear, or may be coaxed, threatened, or bribed not to prosecute, In this case he escapes for want of prose-

4. If proseented, he may have friends OA the grand jury, or the use of a little money and management may put friends of his on the grand jury who will fix things so that no bill shall be found. 5.

The result of his researches leads him to the belief that the disease is caused by microscopic fungi, which exist at all times in the human mouth and throat but do not p opagato until the mucus membrane has become inflamed by a cqid or some other cause. He believes this diphtheria plant attacks the white corpuscles of the blood and disintegrates them. He is of the opinion that diphtheria may be prevented by inoculation, in the same
manner as splenic fever.
