in the bonds of wedlock Mr. Wm. P.
Rhoads and Mrs. Mattie Boussum, both
of Medford. Mr. Rhoads is an indus

good habits and spoken of in the best
of terms by his many friends. Tho
bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Cottrell, living east of this city.
one is a very renned ana industrious
young lady and there seems no other
way but they must acquire their share
of this world's chattels. Both are
members of the Methodist church
of this place and are in regular atten
dance upon divine worship. The
Mail, hopes, as does all their friends
that the fondest anticipation of thier
brightest dreams may be Inters until
the end of earth's career shall have
been reached. They will soon move to
Max Mullers saw mill, at which place
Mr. Rhoads is head sawyer, and who
will start the mill to work for the sea
son s run.
Green is tho fash ionablo color, these
daysl Not for dresses, but for wrap

wagons as you pass them on their way
home from town. 'Tis used for wrap
ping all manner of dry goods, boots
and shoes, hats and caps, and ladies'
and gent s furnishing goods. All comes
from the "New York Store," Medford.
Mr. Hughes, recently from Texas,
and now residing with his family at
Phoenix, met with an accident Tues
day morning which came near result
ing fatally. He was crossing the mill
race and stepped onto the side of a
board which turned under his foot and
he was thrown down, striking his left
side on the upturned edge of the board.
One rib was broken and a contusion of
the kidney and spleen was caused. His
life was despaired of during all of Tues
day and the night following, but he
was reported a little easier Wednesday
noon and the hemorrhage, caused by
the contusion, somewhat less. Dr.
Cole is attending him.

A Family Re-Union.
Those of our readers who have been
so fortunate, in the days of their life's
st rides from childhood to mature years.
and thence dowu the incline to close
onto the three score and ten mark, in
not being separated one from another.
can tell not the joys of a family re
union whereat are members brothers
and sisters who have not been ac
corded tho plenf ures of a meeting for
period ol thirty years, lou may
separate from those uear of kin with a
feeling ol indifference, but when the
years of separation have grown to ton.
twenty and thirty years, tbe ties of
blood exert themselves and a longing
to bo near one another creeps into your
belter sen ana no power can salisiy
that longing save tho power that
brings those of one blood and one flesh
to a happy re-uniou. We say happy
re-union because that it was such an
occasion which was celebrated at tbe
residen-e of I. J. Phippa, in Medford,
on Monday afternoon of this week.
There were present upon this.occns-
ion three Philips brothers, I. J., M. P.
and K. J.. and one sister, Mrs. H.
Helms, of Talent, who have not thus
met for thirty years, in fact some ol
them have uot met upon any occasion
in this length of time to say nothing
of a re-union. There were in attend
ance in all, thirty people, they being
M. P. Pbtpps and family, of Medford,
H. Helms and family, of Talent, R. J
Phipps and son Chas., of Missouri, I
J. Phipp3 and family, of Medford,
Martin Pellet and family, of Wasuier
creek, aud A. T. Markley and family
of Medford. A very pleasant afternoon
was enjoyed and a splendid dinner was
partaken of after which the brothers
and sister renaired to tho Dhotosrranh
gallery where a family group picture
was lalcen. Alter a nearly round oi
hand shaking bad been indulged in
and many good byes said the company
dispersed, each going to his or hor
respective home, lw J. Phipps and
son taking the train for their home in
Missouri.
hue these people folt that in say
ing good bye it would be 'the last oue
they would be permitted to say to eaou
other, Tub Mail sincerely hopes such

The board of health of Orange, N. J.,
has issued a circnlar against kissing and

not raise the dust as trailing skirts do.
The city council of El Paso, Tex., has
decreed that no woman shall be allowed

Pennsylvania and Southern New York
towns along the Susquehanna river were
inundated this week. ' Heavy rains
caused dams to break and reservoirs to
give way. Streams overflowed and
many people were compelled to move
their goods from the lower ground to
the liills. No lives have been lost, but
much property has been destroyed or
damaged greatly. The damage at Johns
town alone will amount to $00,000.
Miss Eleanor Marks, aged 22, of Mt
Prospect, Ind., several days ago was
seized with a severe cold. She rapidly
grew worse and apparently died. She
was prepared for burial and funeral
services were held. While the coffin
was being borne from the hearse to the
grave, a faint tapping attracted the pall
bearers, and upon the coffin lid being
raised she was found to be alive. She
was taken borne and rapidly recovered.
Miss Marks said she was conscious of
all that passed while ehe was being pre
pared for burial, but that she was un
able to give any sign until the fear of
burial finally roused her into action.
An event almost without precedent is
to take place at Manchester, N. J.,whea
Sheriff Chalmers will sell to the highest
bidder the whole town of Manchester
its railroad shops, churches, schools,
stores, residences all but the citizens.
This is the result of the action of the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
ark in foreclosing tbe mortgage held on
the entire town. The mortgage was
f iven by John Torrey, now deceased, in
anuary, 1867. Mr. Torrey, who was a
&ew York financier, practically founded
Manchester, buying np many thousand
acre of land and laving ont the town.
For more than 20 years the mortgage
seems to have been hidden away some
where, and the people forgot all about it
and the property was bought and sold
freely. Many of the house holders are
employed in the chops of the Central
Railroad company and the foreclosure
will prove an especially hard blow to
thm.
Eight of eleven cows which supplied
milk to the Stockton insane asylum were
found to be afflicted with consumption.
The test was made by several physicians
unfler the direction of Dr. Rugglea of
the state board of health. The first ani
mal killed was a 5-year-old cow. This
animal was selected by the doctors with
the hope that a fair test of the virus
might be obtained, as it showed the least
increase of temperature after inocula
tion. The virus is injected to develop
symptoms if the disease is hidden in the
animals. The result of the experiment
was a surprise. The animal was found
to be literally filled with tnberculi
They were found in hundreds between
the left lung and the nb& Near the
junction of the windpipe and the lungs
large tuberculous tumor was taken
out by the surgeon. The walk of the
intestines were a mass of consumptive
germs. In fact, with the exception of a
cavity between the right long and the
walls of the chest there was hardly a
spot in the whole interior of the animal
that did not show symptoms of the
dread disease. The others were in more
advanced stages of consumption. Ther
were all thoroughbred Holsteins and
their progeny is scattered through
