Doetor,-Regular and Lregulor.-We
,derstand that DIR. John $. Bartlett was
.peled yesterday from the Massachusetts
,edical Society, upon the allegations pre-
rred by the Council, charging him with
aying aided and abeued an irregular
ractilioner-to wit, "Dr. Williams, the
lculist," contrary to his fealty as loyal
,ember Of the nj. nj. S. Doctor Bartlett
,ade a long speech in defence, admitting
le fact alleged, and justifying it by citing
Ie example of his seniors in the society,
ho had sanctioned and approved of Gra-
am, whom he attacked with some severity.
s associate editor of the Boston Pilot, DR..
hrtlett frequently noticed the skill of the
'Oculist," in terms of high commentator.
,hese approbatory notices, we believe,
ere the foundation Of the accusation
fought forward. The Doctor intends to
pbish pamphlet, giving full account of
te proceedings had against him, and the
eounds of his defence.

RoBINsoN.-This unfortunate young
man-unfortunate,w whether guilty or innO-
cent-was yesterday arraigned for the
murder of Ellen Jeweh. The youthful
age. and still more youthful appearance OF
the alledged culprit, who does not look to
be more than nineteen, and the unusually
revolving circumstances of the murder,
have of course rendered the matter one of
great interest and curiosity to a large
portion of the community.--T clerk Of
the Court read tire indictment, to which
the prisoner in Il tone OF voice so low as
to be scarcely audible within few PAGES
of him, answered Not Guilty" One of
his counsel then applied to the court to
postpone his trial until Thursday week,
TO which the court assented, and the
prisoner was removed. He seemed to
be in excellent health, and was most
fashionably apparrelled.

Gil Of New Orleans had singular time OF
it recently, on resolution to appropriate
$4,000 to pay Mr.. Livingston for his SER
vices in the late expensive lawsuit in which
that city was engaged. Several motions
were made to amend the resolution, by in
serilng smaller sums, but they were all lost.
Finally, Mr.. Labatut moved to insert the
sum of Sl9,999 90 which was put and
carried The Common Council deserve
the thanks of the people for thus saving to
the city the whole sum of one cent. A mo-
ton was made to pay Mr.. Webster $500,
for servics in the same suit, which was put
and lost.-BOst. Ddi. Times.

Melancholy Accident and Death-We
have this week to record the sudden death
of young student, attached to Mr.. Chase's
excellent preparatory school, in this city
named William James Oakley, aged fifteen
years, only son Of James Oakley, Esq. o
New York city, which took place on Fri
day last. The following particulars of hi.
death are believed to be correct, as riey are
obtained from gentlemen who were present
at the examination -
He, with Other scholars, was at play
about 1 o'clock, during the inrermission
and while thus engaged, fellow-studenr
whom he was running after, tossed up q
piece of pine paling at pole which Oakley
held about ten feet off, which, on descendiDg 9
struck him on the right side of the head, a
little above the ear, causing, apparently,
only an inconsiderable bruise. Oakley con-
tinued playing until the expiration of the
time of intermlssion, but while in school
complained of pain in the head.
When school was dismissed, at at l2 o.
clock, he again went to play with his school
mates, until dinner time, when he partook
lightly of dinner. Shortly after which, he
went to his room, saying that his head pain
ed him. After having it batl,ed, he grow
ing worse, a physician was sen, for, but the
work of death had already commenced, and
about 3 o'clock he ceased to breathe. The
distress of his young playmate, with whom
he had been at play but a few hours before
was very great. A Jury was impannelled,
who rendered a verdict, "hat has death
.o~s oeoasioned dy an ACCIDENTAL btoo from
a piece Of paiing Mrown by a schoOi.telioV
white at play" And a member Of the Jury
adds, "Upon an investigation of all the cir
cumstances, by an intelligent Jury, it was
concluded that the precepior, as well as all
the school fellows, were entirely exonerated
from any blame, in reference to the tran
saction which terminated so unfortunately"
Thus was cut off, in the spring time of
life, by AN apparently slight injury, an only
son, the solace and joy of his parents, whose
loss of other sons caused them TO centre
their hopes on this one. This teaches us
how inscruable are the ways of Providence
that in the midst of life we are in death.
His funeral was attended on Sunday
morning, by large number of our citizens
who thus expressed their sympathy with the
afflicted and .bereaved parents.

Fight between the Rhinoceros and Eke-
Ph0nt. When the rhinoceros and elephant
meet, which is not very ofteu the case, the
conflict is terrific. The former will stand
his ground, even though surrounded by a
herd of elephants, by which indeed he is
generally destroyed, though not without
making desperate resistance. He will
frequently .lnfict mortal wound upon one
or two before he is subdued. The elephant.
therefore, always approaches him with ex-
treme reluctance. IL the rhinoceros sue
ceeds in making good his stroke at his huge
adversary, IT generally proves fatal his horn.
cutting through the side, exposes the in,es-
tines, and the gigantic creature falls dead
IL, however, the elephant is successful in
preventing the rush of his enemy, he re-
ceives him upon his tusks, which infl'ct too
severe wound to enable the rhinoceros to
continue the encounter. The timidty ofthe
elephant generally causes it to have the
worst in conflicts with this mailed foe. so
that the latter is seldom moles,ed, and con-
sequenty roams at large ms the monarch of
the Jungle even the tiger and the lion shun
him, as an enemy not to be provoked with

TEMPERANCE ALMANAC FOR, 1887.
At the semi-annual meeting of the New

lowing resolution was adopted:
"Whereas an Almanac has been found

extending the knowledge of temperance
in family circles; therefore,
"Resolred, That the Executive Com

princi pie of total abstinence from all en-
torteatimg liquor as a drink, and to make
such efforts as may be in their power, to
place copy of it in every family in the
nation

The following is the report of the com.

The committee to whom the Temper

and decidedly favorable to affect the con
