To the Medical Profession in Ma..aohu.stt,

To the Medical Profession in MassuchusettH
1t is asserted, on all sides, by our profession
with as much confidence, as though they had
taken some pains to know, and with as much
assurance and apparent expectation that their
opinions will weigh with the community, as
though they had taken pains to investigate,
that they do not believe, the disease, called
pleuro.pneumonia among cattle, is contagious.
1t is believed by the writer after careful per-
sonal investigation that there can be no doubt
tits as contagious as small pox, and nearly as
fatal, and the following are the reasons: No
nerd has escaped where well marked case of
the disease has been introduced within its Dor
ders, and remained any length OF time No
case, in this Commonwealth has occurred,
which cannot be traced, by such contact az
would be necessary to produce small pox,
through each diseased animal to Mr.. Chen
ery's imported Dutch COWS. And | aver no
member OF our profession has any right to
have an opinion that the disease is not conta-
glous, till he can produce one herd that has
escaped after sufficient exposure, or till he can
produce one case that cannot be traced to
contagion.
Soon the disease will be SO prevalent that
many cases cannot be traced to their origin, as
is frequently the case with small pox Espe-
cially as the cupidity Of our Inhabitants " ill
probably at times induce them to move their
cattle contrary to law, from place to place
clandeStnely.
The disease, when it is not fatal always, as
far as the observation Of the writer goes, passes
on to suppuration. And much of the confu-
sion about the contagion arises from the name
pleuro pneumonia, which in the human species
is not contagious. But this disease is not
peuro-pneumonia. The pleuro pneumonia is
only the effect of a contagious poison, and this
disease should be called something else-say
contagious pneumonia, or suppurative pneu

BURIAL OF THE DAUGHTER OF SENATOR
DoUGLAs.-The bereavement which has fallen
on Senator Douglas is sensitively reflected by
the best citizens of Washington; and the
sympathy Of the fair with Mrs. Douglas in the
death of her little daughter is extended and
heartfelt. The funeral took place on Wednes-
day, at noon. A large number of ladies and
gentlemen were in attendance. Previous to
the departure Of the funeral cortege from the
residence Of Judge Douglas beautiful exhor.
tation was given by Rev. Mr. Mcguire, the
eminent preacher. His words of consolation
were beautiful, and the words of the Saviour,
"Sutier little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not" were applied in the most
Christian, and, consequently, the most com.
tortng spirit. The pail bearers were four
bachelors, two Of whom, in respect to the
judge, were senators-Messrs. Cingman of
North Carolina and Anthony of Rhode Island.
On arriving at the grave at Mount Olivet, the
new Catholic cemetery, which was conse Grated
last Sunday, the Rev Mr.. Mcguire performed
service over the little departed, and all that re.
NAMED of the child, on which the fond mother
had placed SO many hopes, was consigned to
the last resting place.

CITY AND COUNTY.

The STEAM FIRE ENGINE A third trial o.
this machine took place ON Saturday, and was
! highly satisfactory to all who witnessed it. Ii
took four and a half minutes to raise the steam
| When the machinery was well at work, a
stream Of water, through $50 feet OF hose, was
thrown more than 20 feet above the Vane on
the Old South Church spire; and all the per
tormances of the engine showed effective ana
admirable working of the machinery. A hor-
izontal stream, through 100 feet OF hose with
an inch and an eighth nozzle, was thrown Z4O
| feet, and, with an inch and a quarter nozzle
225. The average pressure of steam was less
than fifty pounds After this trial, meeting
was held by the committee of the city council,
which has had the matter III charge; and there
was also meeting Of the board OF engineers
AT both meetings the performance OF the ma
chine was deemed satisfactory. 1t was for-
mally accepted by the city authorizes ana
paid for as agreed.
This steam fire engine is very important
addition to our machinery for eXtlnguishlng
fires and well made machine OF this patent
is unquestionably superior to any other IN ex'
istence. The rotary motion OF It's steam en-
CINE would give it vast superiority II there
were no other advantage This rotary motion
was for long time sought in vain Many
deemed it impossible But it was finally Sc.
cured. The boiler, too, is peculiarly and adj
mirably adapted to its business, being made
according to the plan of patent owned by the
manufacturers. These excellent machines are
made by Silsby, Mynderse, Co., at the
" Island Works." Seneca Falls, N. Y.
plan invented by Bir(lsill Holley, and
patented in 1866. The boiler, furnace,
and machinery rest upon substantial four
wheel carriage, which is tastefully constructed.
The elliptical rotary pstons are applied in
this fire extinguisher for both steam engine
and force pumps One thing about the engine
particularly commendable is the entire alb
sence, as is claimed, of any danger from ex
plosion.
In regard to durability and efficiency, these
machines are warranted by the makers to be
unequaled by those of any other construction.
There are more of them in use, in the different
cities of the United States, than of any other
patent, and, in every instance, it is said, they
give the most entire satisfaction. The pack
ing is found perfectly tight after three years
service. The ends of the revolvers are
ground to the ends of the cylinders, in which
they turn, and, we are assured, that these
continue to fit absolutely steamtight, after
being worked three years. We think the ma
chine will improve on acquaintance. The more
we know of it the better we shall like it.
When it is to be used, the fire may be kindled
in the furnace Immediately, on taking it from
the engine house, so as to have it ready for
work on reaching the scene of contiagration.
And when there, if properly dealt by, it will
do such an amount of work, and be such a
powerful extinguisher of fire, as will soon
make it popular with everybody.
