A student of the hospital Necker of Paris,
died lately of gianders, contracted from pa
tient, who caught the disease from horse. 1t
is thus proved ncontestbly, that this fatal dis
ease can be transmitted from the brute to man
and from man to man. A horse which was in
occulated with the matter discharged from the
tumors of the student, died, exhibiting every
appearance of glardGrs in its most acute form.
The partisan PHI sicians think that the disease
is TRANSMITTED by masmatic injecting, siml-
lar to LAT of scaratina or variola. They re-
co o.nmend, therefore, that every horse attacked
by the disease, should be at once destroyed.

heard dog at his heels-he turned arnnd to
look, but discovered nothing-the second all
tempt with the glass had the same effect, ex-
cept that the supposed dog growled more savage

before, exclaiming What's that !" A voice

But when the Lord Of mortal breath
DEGREES his bounty to resume,
And prints the silent shaft Of death,

man who demanded his money. Mr.. J. being

gar from his breast pocket: and making noise
with his mouth like the cooking of a pistol the
man wheeled about and took to his heels.
So in Havana, an American gentleman, was
stopped by another cigar-smoker at midnight,
and asked for a light. The Habanero was
hong in lighting his principe, and inhaled his
breath till the two cigar ends cleaned fierce
