The beauttfat village of Montclair, virtually a gan den spot in, New Jersey, lying at the foot of tbe Orange Mountains ang ovptaiuing hardly one thousand tubab- itguts, bas narrowly escspod, or rather is just-now escaping, tbe.fake of many thriving places in the Mis~ sigsippi Valley. Dirt and ignorance bavo had ag feariul ‘consequences 1m Montelair, where ot New York’s business mea re im any of the Southern ities, lack of sanitary regulations has brought on the dreadful plague But, with that jealousy which local pride engonders, the fact bas been kep! exceed- ingly quiet that this charming village has, during the present summer, been visited by the worst type of typhoid fever. The last death on Wednesday brought the fact more into Botoriety, and upon the HuraLp reporter visiting the place yesterday, the sturthng fact was at once brought to his attention that filth and absence of sanitary meusures had stowly but steadily during the Jatter aays of July and during the month of August engendered the disease until no less than mxteen persons had beon prostrated, three or four of whom are now dead and buried. IMPURE MILK, All of this has been traced directly to one cause— the use of impure milk—not milk from a diseased cow, as was generally supposed at first, but milk which bad cen kept for sale in a house where dirt, filth and: disease already abounded. The milk, ab- sorbing the horrid gases of the domicile of the sick, was purchased and ased by various people, who, from what cause alone, became sick and underwent the pangs of typhoid cr. Fortunately the little villuge, with its few inbabitants, coutalns two physicians— Dre. Love and Pinkbam—whbo at once went to ti bostom of the disease, grappled with it, investigated it, case after case, until they Goally stamped out she source, so many THE HISTORY OF THR DISEASE, From Dr, Love the HuxaLp reporter obtained the history of the disease as follows:—‘‘In the month ot July,” be said, “two children ef Mr. Munn’s family wore si¢k—one Lad typhord, the other had intermit. tent fever.

A cow had died also on the grounds, and the romor was that the bad milk came trom that cow; but subsequent investigation proved this to be totally incorrect. 1 made a thorough survey of the premises first, so as te get atthe origin of the children’s dis- ease; then found that the house in which the Muon family lived bad a cellar under one part of tho house and nove uuder the well of bad water, wi there age whatever, Ut course the children became sick, but the fover potsou from Haren, which wi contracted from foul wi spread through the bor va the house became infected with ti. kept on ‘ol tuat lover poison sopped parties mv mysell bavi ent families, whieh milk, Ol Wiese case: sieter of Mr. Muun came on to attend to bis family daring the sick: She returned to Brooklyn alter few days, bat since died from the Monteiaw. caught here A‘ter got ro whh Monn family four other Inmilies Were cured for by us, mos. of day, but a iittie dauchter aged are other cases of fever bere vow, up to ins, but the scare, 1 there was apy, is a)l over Bb ‘the Mi Jamily wi ‘Worst—lather, mother, two onilde: ib since died, being most nd while they t Jamilies broke out one ail other ff an- LTH IN A CELLAR. rp iMterviews with several oth: persons in Movtelair, und (hough all agree that the milk theory 18 the correct one, so tar as relates to the sickness of the other families, they state hat. jeally thas the origin of the disease at Orst easily explamed alter the family hud their how the celtor, to eloan 11, found an iron kettle coutatving reluso and awill, the odors of whicu overpowerea him. we long it had been kept there novo: d that was the cause of the Munn child Wright, proprietor of the only ote!
