The public may have observed with
surprise, that the Boylslon Prize CUES
ton Committee have awarded pre-
MUM Of fifty dollars for an approved dis
serta'ion on WHoopINs CoUGH, though
many people consider ii triaing disor-
der hardly worth calling a physician to.
The TACT is, this convulsive cough is moi
only a distressing malady, but a very
fatal one, and its mortality increases.
An experienced and eminent physician
in South Carolina, observed recently,
that it the measels and whooping cough
went on and increasing in malisniy Cor
20 years to come, as they have for 90
years past, they would come but very
little short of yellow fever or plague.
II not Immediately fatal they lay the
foundation Of future evils.
Distressing and destructive as the
whooping cough really is, il is curious
and singular that it is so little understood,
and that there is no good book on the
subject in any language. Even the seat
OF disorder is matter by 10 means set
tied. The subject was brought before
the London Medical Society, and by
them discussed in the spring of 1909,
but Republication ensued. DR.. MARous,
a German physician and philan,hrophist,
Of great celebrity in his own country,
attempted il, but postponed the subject
10 SO late in life, that he dictated part
Of il on bis dsath bed. The Boylston

1886 lbs. was manifestly entitled to
preference over every competitor. The
exhibition of imported stock was upcom-
monty fine. Among which, we remark
ed the bull Denton, 6 years old, owned
by Mr.. Williams, of Marlborough, and
the celebrated C9lebs and his progeny.
MIR. Jacques, the owner Of the latter ami
NAL, deserves the highes, commentator
for his exerlions in promoting this in
valuable breed. His individual part of
the exhibition filled FIVE pens alone--and
the genuine agricultu may feel justly
proud OF it. This gentleman offered for
premium, Eclipse, a superior full blood

and weighing l245 lbs.-and for exhibi-
ION merely, Flora, az imported COW, and
one OF ihe most beautiful animals we re-

C9iebs, months old, and of the extra

also excited favorable observation, as
well as some well fat,ed swine

Committee acted wisely in holding out a
premium for the best essay on whoop-

leon was told that his infant nephew died
OF non-descript disorder, called by the
English or rather Scotch, the Group, he
expressed himself in terms of derision OF
the ignorance of the faculty, and offered
princely reward for the best dissertation

In the natural course of things, in few

you may say are Russians. The pow

pose, are England, France, Prussia and
Austria Now. as 10 Austria, il will be
very easy for Russia to engage her as
sis,ance By giving her Servia, and other
provinces bordering upon the Austrian
dominions, reaching near to Constantine
pie. The only hypothesis, that Fl ance

sincerity, will be in order to prevent this.
Bot even his alliance would not avail.
France, England, and Prussia, united
cannot prevent it. Russia and Austria
