remarkable for any personal peculiaritv. His father is large man, his brothers are some above and others below the ordinary stature. Although it is manifestIy impos. sibIe to assign for his emaciation anv sne- cific cause, yet he assures us it commenced just after the exposure at Plattsburgh, and has been gradual ever since; within the last year even he has lost flesh, and at present we'ghs but % pounds. His proportions are good, his intellect is wholly unim- paired, and his spirits are in no measure de- pressed.
 This singular individual has been visited by many of the Faculty, as we'll as crowds oi the curious,-and all agree inrcgarding him as a phenomenon truly wonderful, and, we must add, wholly inexplcable, in the present state of our knowledge.
 In the general appearance of Mr. Edson there is nothing revolting. He is neat in his person, rather gray for his age, and dresses quite la mode, in tights.-.Boston Medical InteH.

N York PAysicians.-A few days since a bill was introduced into the New York Assembly, to repeal the statutes which im- pose fines and imprisonment upon those who practice medicine without license. Dr. Harrison believed that the inf1iction of pains and penalties only increased the evils of quackery, and hoped that the practice would be left free. Mr. Orvis was no friend to steam doctors, but as medical men were ln favor of letting them loose, he would no, oppose the bill. He had seen a steam quack first kill his neighbor, then his wife, and finally himself Doct. Williams said regular physicians had killed their thou sands, and steam doctors their thousands {: these things could not be prevented by le- g'slat'on. MT. Smith denounced ali the steam doctors as stupid, ignorant rascals. Mr. Sheppard believed that there were as many, ii not more, quacks who had parch- ments (diplomas) as who had not. Those who wanted to die natural death had bet ter have as little to do with either as possi- bIe. MT. Vanderpool said there was a sickly sympathy in favor of quacks, which ought not to influence members. The bill was adopted, "A to 27.

 Austin's Colony, Dec. 17. 1929.
 Texas is now in very prosperous con- dition. There has been more cmigra- tion this winter than in several years past. The road is at present full of movers. This colony is also over6Owing with spec ulators from the United States. In antici- patton of the province falling into the hands of the United States, lands have ta- ken an egregious rise. From two to five dollars per acre can now be obtained foI first rate lands. Some of the purchasers car command any amount capital. A recen expedition against the Wake Indians has resulted in the exploration of part O our grant hitherto but little known.~ The troops proceeded along on tho dividini ridge between the Brasos and Colorado, 10 25O miles above the St. Antonio road.

 way of securing lands up there. The hill' the valleys of the limestone rock. and th n pure spring water, have charms for thel that are irresistible. There is at least te

Unpleasant Mistake.-The temperance people represent that those grocers who have relinquished the sale of ardent spirits, still continue to sell the article under the name of Oii. A man, who verify believed these representations, callud on a temper ance grocer for gill of rum. The grocer very promply told him, he sold no gum. Very we'll, said the anti, let me have gill of your oit. The grocer took gill meas ure, filled it with Oil, and gave it to him. It being evening, and not doubting that it was the very thing he wanted, drunk con- siderable portion of it, before he discover ed his mistake. When he found he was drinking oilinstead of rum, he manifested a used SUIhe ruTdn nSn- tvoTus!s 4 1.S Uvn't,""J burst into a roar of laughter. The grocer told him he had given him the very thing he called for, and therefore he ought not to be angry with him. The fellow finally con- cluded it was best to join the company in the laugh, and so let it pass off pleasantly. The above is from so respectable a source, that we cannot doubt its correctness. s.--Phi.

 his limbs cold and stiff, but, after rubbing
 them well, he proceeded on his way with
 little inconvenience. ..
 At this time, MT. Edson weighed 125
 pounds, and was, according to his certifi-
 cate, five feet four inches Although
 he suffered no material inconvenience from
 this exposure, he very soon remarked that
 he began to lose flesh; and his emaciation n
 has continued without abatement, to the
 present time. Ho is now five feet two
 inches in height,-measures about 25
 inches round the upper, and p inches
 round the lower part of the chest ;-the
 circumference of the arm about its centre
 is 9 inches; of the forearm, 4 1-2; the thigh, 10 l-2; the calf of the leg, 1-2; and the leg, just above the ankle, 1-2 inches. We could discover no distortion
 of any part of the body, or any mark what
 ever of existing disease. He looks and
 feels in perfect health, and is possessed of
 ordinary strength. His pulse is regular, and about 100 in the minute, e,-exclted probably by the number of visitors con- stantly about him. He walks about like r any other man, with no appearance of de- bility but, the adipose substance having f been wholly absorbed from the soles of his s I feet. he steps lightly, and not without some f soreness in this part. His appetites and . passions are natural and unabated he eat ? as much as ever, and drinks-a little too ' much he is not at all particular in the ar. ticles of his diet-making full and goot meal of whatever is set before him-ane | savs he was never sick in his life. Th' v functions of the kidneys and ofthe digestive - apparatus are performed with great regu h larity and without any excess; ms skln t dry as is usually the case in persons who arr - emaciated. He has four children, the young v est of whom is but eight months old he }, clad thin for the season, seldom sufier e from cold, and " can chop cord of woo n a day without being fatigued-
