The British accounts of the landing in

and do not reach as far as the a&ion
of the 20th of March, in which the
French mention the capture of Aber#

„- Remarkable Cases of Disease.
Died, at SaLfbury, on the 7th in ft. a son of Mr
Benjamin PettingiU, aged fix years.
For several weeks he had complained of pain in
his head, which however not being violent, gave
but little alarm to the family, until a (hort time
before his death ; when all those difreffing (ymp
tomv generally attendant on ( Hydroupbalus inter
w) drop fy of the brain, left but little room to
hope a favourable issue to this commonly fatal
disease. On Monday the attending physician re
moved a part of the cranium, and discharged fix
ounces of water from the left ventricle of the
brain. He had been attended with ftrabifm and
total blindness of the right eye for some days be
fore death, or before any affedion of the other eye
was'difcoverable ; the right optic nerve appeared
much ir flamed ; but other parts of the brain in
their natural stale. These circumstances Gem to
favour the opinion offered by Dr. Darwin, that
the optic nerves cross each other. It is recom
mended to Phyfidans, to pay all pebble atten
tion to the discovery of this disease, in its early
stages; as that is the only time in which they
can reasonably exped to give relief.
In this town, on the 9th ioft. a child of Mr. B.
Walker, aged 30 days. This child at birth had
a large ulcerated tumor, situated on the lumber
vertebre ; which difeharged a considerable quan
tity of matter,- resembling ,a„ until a few days
before its death, when it appeared to be difchared
with the urine. On the 10th, the attending Phy
sician made an opening through the tumour, and
found three of the spinal processes wanting ; pro
ceeding to examine the superior part of the fpioe,
he found nearly the whole of the medulary sub
stance wafted away, so that little remained to fill
up the cavity, besides a small bundle of nerves.
Is thete in cases of S,i*a BiJitoany preternatural
communication between the tumour on the spine
and the brain ? From a partial examination of
the contents of the cranium in the above case,
such a conclusion is rendered probable.
June 17th, the General Court adjourned, to
meet in this town in June next.
