Reports from the various publications of those parts are con flicting and contradictory and the extent of the 'epidemic may be considerably over estimated; but we cannot be toe careful as it is claimed that cases already exist at Portland and Salem. Prevention is better than cure and vaccination -should be resorted to at once by all who have not already undergone the operation. Keady made his will the first of the week, and all necessary arranements for his funeral obseques, supposing himself to be dead, but subsequently ascertained that Jim Foster had sliped a chunk of Limberger in his pocket..

Suddenly the big potato mania seemed to become epidemic and for weeks our exchanges teemed with yarns of the extraordinary samples grown in their neighborhoods, as if to tantalize us with the childish insignifi cance of our item, and vyiug with each other. Then for the sake of variation cabbage heads, beets, carrots, squashes and onions were extravigantly enlarged upon. Finally the turnip question was raised, and for the last three weeks they have been assuming such proportions that we are really glad they dont grow round here, for we should hate to be beaten and we know it would hurt our concience to tell eveu facts of such a magnatude.

Mr. Charles Dohse, for many years a resident ot this city, aieu at nis house on Fifth street yesterday.
