A writer in the Washington Star asks Has it never occurred to your mind flies have eometltin to do with tne spread of small pox ibis season tbey are everywhere, in utterly unlimited numbers, and aided by tbe wind, probably there are no greater visitors in the world. Clean and dirty houses are alike filled with them. The most ingenious devices of housekeepers fail to expel or exterminate them. It is hardly possible to exclude them from the hospital or the sick chamber, and the small pox patient is the recipient of their provoking attention.

Escaping from the chamber of the sick, tbey are blown about, with the virus of this loathsome disease upon their wings and legs, and then perchance light on some person constitutionally sus ceptible to take the disease, and who may ac cidentally have the incision by which it may be conveyed. If you have a scratch or a cut upon the hand or the face, the flies aie sure to seek it out and light upon it. In this wise, against all precautions of the widely' abused Board of Health and of the public, may not the small pox be spread by lues 7 Chapter of Accidents. An Ebbach's Crossing correspondent of the Eagle furnishes tbat paper with the following chapter of accidents occurring in the lower end of the county within the lau lew days Last week as Messrs.

Mr. Moyer lost hit hold and all three were in tbe deep and went down. They again rose. and Mr. Custer's last effort to save himself and companiont was successful, bringing Mr, Brunner to shore almoit dead and himself nearly exhtusted.

windows an oil painting; tviociog such marked ability in its production as to excite universal admiration. Thit admiration it materially heightened by the fact that it it tbe work of an amateur artist, Mr.Jonn Heyl Raser, of thit city, who teems to notsest such fertility of resources and amplitude of reserve power at to be continually surprising his friends by doing something in the line of the painter's art, in botanical science, or in constructive mechanism, any achievement in which would do credit lo a professional devo tee. His lail turpriee it tbe painting to which we would now call the attention of our readers in general, but lovers of art in particular. The picture it intended to represent Fault. and Mephistopheles in "Auerbach't Keller" (a wine cellar built in 1530, in Ltipsic, by Heinrich Auerbacb.

a medical professor and senator at the time of George the bearded, duke of Bsxony.l and it painted after a de sign by Schrodttr, a Duaieldorf artist of ce lebrity, xbaiour readers may more luny enter into the spirit of the representation, it would perhaps add to their appreciation of the picture, when looking at it, by reminding them of the legendary character of the two leading spirits which the artist hat depicted with such marvellous power. aust, who it represented in an erect pos ture on the extreme right of the painting and immediately in the rear of Mephistopheles, was, according to tradition. celebrated ne cromancer, as well as a prominent character of the national and popular poetry of Germany. He flourished during the latter half of the 15th and tbe beginning of the 16ih centuries. Having mattered all the secret sciences, he was seized, we are with gloomy dissatisfaction at the shallowness of human knowledge, and with an intense longing after a more elevated kind of mental and physical enjoyment.

He conjured the Evil One, and made an agreement with him, according to which the devil was to serve Faust for full twenty lour yean, obeying all his behests, and at the expiration of the term Fansi's soul was to be delivered to eternal damnation. Fautt having signed thit agreement, Satan tent him a ipiriiui famUiarit, (Mephisiopheles), a devil who likes to live amoi'g lii n. fautmow pagan a oruiiant worldly career. He revelled in all manner of sensual enjoyment, of which hit attentive devil servant, with an inexhaustible fertility of imagination, was always inventing new and more attractive forms. The scene of the picture on exhibition it laid, as before stated, in "Auerbach't Keller," whither the twain have repaired lor enjoy HPL nfil.

IUCUI, IIIID l.lt.llUU bv Faust and Mephistopheles. achieved a somewhat diabolical reputation, which it still ambitiously maintained by the townspeople and tbe students of the place in whion it it located. Tbe occasion, too, bis been happily reproduced on canvass, to thtt, though centu rion have since e'apsed, we hart tbe artist's conception, and his vivid portrayal, of tbe characters and tbe place so lamoui in tne myihical literature of Germany. Faust and Mephiitophelet vttit thit Keller. where they meet quite a number of debauchees.

Mephistopheles, to thow hit supernatural powers, causes wine to issue from the table. Ooe of the party having already filled hit glass with the wine.and being raised to hit lips, it suddenly burns into a blaze, tnus snowing its infernal origin. Its ignition of course spreads consternation among those immediately around the victim. The result it easily discernable in the frantic menacing of a burly fellow in tbe background, who is liter, allr thrusting hie fist under the note of Me phistopheles. The latter individual, however, though the concenter of all, Menu the leatt concerned of the entire Party.

Hit viaago it wily, mischeviously artful and insinuating, and to the connoisseur in an tne representation of these characteristics by the artist will strike the beholder as being exceedingly well painted. Another of the party it Justin tbe act of draining bit glass to the very drega, with bead reclining upon tbe table lull an. other is filling his from the crimson current issuing therefrom while the remainder of those surrounding the table are engaged some in sineme. others in violent getticula tiog, and others ttill may may be seen in a state of absolute ttupor. But we will not further particularize, but leave to the specta tor the enjoyment of Interpreting the story of he picture lor himseiL In conclusion we have only to lay that Mr, Raser hit reason to be proud of hit last effort in art and while expressing the hope that his srtistic talent may be tangibly appreciated by his fellow citizens, we trust that he may continue on in the good work to auspiciously begun, and so full of promise of pleasure to bit friends and of reward to himself.

Of murmuring shells And tbe silver chime of fairy bells Were never born such muslo spells To cheer the vislouray brain Of listening bard as the summer rain. Earth looks more fair. When drops that banish tbesun's hot glare Fall from the cisterns or npper air; And her breast Is cleansed of many a stain By the gentle bath of summer rain.

Conrad Alleman, Postmaster at High epire, Dauphin county, died on Thursday from the effects of fright. The Harrisburg Patriot says that an unknown person exploded a shooting cracker, which resulted in setting fire to a house occupied by Mrs. Cannon, his daughter. This so wrought on ihe mind of Mr. Alieman, wno was over seven'y years oi tge, that he died shortly afterward.

The deceased was the father of S. II. A lleruan, Esq of Harriabarg. He was a man much esteemed by his neighbors and others who enjoyed hit acquaintance. The following we clip from the Mancli Chunk Democrat One of the most heartrending accidents that has happened in or about I be coal works for years, was that which proved fatal to a mute hoy, about 14 years of age, named Brennan, near Uarbondale, on Monday ot last weeic.

He was engaged in pushing coarse coal into the teeth of the breaker, and by some misstep one foot went with the Ccal and was caught by the teeth and suddenly drawn and crushed with the coal, until bis body tilled the mouth or opening above the revolving iron breaker, and thus stopped the revolutions of the machinery. His cries brought many tojhis relief in a few moments, but thero was no way to get him out but to send to the machine tbops for men and tools to take tbe machinery apart and allow the coal and the teeth to fall awty from the mangled leg. This poor boy suffered the torments of death for nearly two hours before he was relieved, and then it wat ascertained that most of his foot bad been entirely torn awty. He only sur vived about half an hour after he waa taken out and carried home. The most remarkablo thing connected with this sad affair, was the fact that the boy, although a mute, and speechless for life, actually begged of those about him to get him out quick and prayed to God to spare his life as fluently and distinctly as could any boy.

Will some scientific party explain the cause which gave tbe power of speech to thit dying boy Whoopino Cough Remedy never fails to give instant relief. To be bad only at Hunter's Drug Store.
