The common malady, grip, which few have escaped in recent years, ended disastrously to the family of James R. FAIRMAN, of Washington township. About four years ago Mr. FAIRMAN was attacked by grip and never fully recovered. His mind became affected at periods but last October he became demented, and since then has been gradually growing weaker. During the last few weeks he has become more violent and threatened the destruction of his friends and family. In order to keep him from doing violence to himself and others, he was taken to the Dixmont Insane Asylum on Friday, in hopes of his recovery. Previous to his unfortunate condition, Mr. FAIRMAN was a hard working and industrious man and had accumulated a little help for a rainy day. His continued sickness and the expenses connected with his condition have exhausted his means and in order to secure treatment at the asylum, the township came to his aid. A pension of $16 per month was granted Emanuel LOHR, of Washington township. He served in Company C, 103d Pennsylvania Infantry. The applicant secured almost $500 back pay. An increase of $4 per month was awarded George W. ROOF, of this place. The applicant now receives $10 per month. Both pensions were secured last week through the agency of Frank DONAHUGH, of this place.
