some changes have recently taken place in the fac

ill health, Prot. r. H. Thomas, has retired from
the obstetrica chair, which he has filled in an ac
ceptabe manner for ten years past. Prof Geo. w
Mltenberger, who formerly filled the chair of ma
terra medical and therapeutics, has been selected ia
I'LL the vacancy thus occasioned, and Prof Charles
Frck has been chosen to fill the chair from which
the last named gentleman retires From the pro.
iesslonal emlnence of these gentlemen, we can safe
y predict that the favor with which this school has

New CAR FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF LIVE SrocE
on RAILRoADS-The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have just had made and placed upon the

with all the stalls on side; car of the sam,
size, constructed upon the present principle beine
capable OF carrying larger number than one up
on the old plan. 1t also combines the creates
amount of ventilation, which is much needed il
a ear designed for this particular purpose The one
we have examined contains twelve stalls, and if ne
cessary, can be run with the passenger trains. Thu
stalls take up about two thirds the width of the car
having sliding boards extending from the upright
to the opposite side, that each animal is confined
TO Its own separate stall. One great advantage t.
be gained by this arrangement, is that an attendant
can enter and remove an animal from any part o
the car, without in any way, coming in contact with
the others.
