Ra,Iroad rataIlty near Troy.

The Troy Press of August 18th. says:
A special train coming down early this
over the Troy and Boston
road, ran over an object a short distance
above Eagle Bridge. The train was
stopped, and on search being made the
body of a man was found, but so terri
bly, mangled as to render Identification
impossible. The head was entirely
gone, and was only found after much
difficulty. The deceased was finally
recognized as Mr.. John Kant, a shoes
maker from Hoosic Falls. He had left
his home the day previous under the in
fuence of a strange dream, to visit
some relations at Eagle Bridge. He
had communicated his dream to the
Catholic Priest, who endeavored to re-
move the strong impression that it had
made upon his mind. The dream was
to the effect that his father had q most
strange and remarkable vest which was
designed for him, and that he must go
and get it. Under this. hallucination
he went to Eagle Bridge to visit his ia
ther. The '.vest' which he saw III his
vision was his shroud. While walking
up the track of the railroad on his re-
turn home, he was killed as stated. De-
ceased was a married man. He leaves
a wife and seven children.

Cholera.

DIR. John Chapman, in the London
Medical Times and Gazette, among 9TH
er conclusions, holds that the primary
cause of cholera is, as a general rule,
the excessive heat of hot climates, and
of temperate climates in summer when
cholera prevails" that "the proximate
canse of cholera is of precisely the same
nature as that of summer or cholera
diarrhna, but that it is far more devel-
oped, and consequently that its action
is proportionately more powerful and
intense" that cholera is neither con-
tagious nor infectious in any sense
whatsoever, except through the depres-
sing influence of fear ;" and ''that chol-
era may be completely averted, and
when developed, cured by the persist
ent application of the spinal ice-bag
along the whole spine so long as any
symptom of the disease continues.
The Opinion Rationale, of Paris, In
an article on cholera, says that recently
two captive balloons were sent up, one
of them over Alexandria, the other over
a village on the Isthmus where cholera
had not made its appearance. From
each of the balloons was suspended a
piece of fresh beef cut from the same
OK. After the balloons had remained
up for some hours, they were both pull
ed down. and the be f suspended over
Alexandria was completely tainted, while
that which had been suspended over the
village was as sweet and as good as ever.
This experiment is supposed to corrob-
crate the theory of the atmospheric ORR
gin of the cholera.

The Cattle Disease in Europe.

A London correspondent writes to
the New York Times as follows:
The cattle disease, now recognized as
the murrain that has destroyed some
hundreds of thousands of cattle in Rus
STA. is spreading alarm in all parts of
England. The cattle attacked with it
die sometimes in a few hours. What
ever may be the fact in respect to chol
era this cattle plague is highly conta-
gious Some advocate innoculation.-
Our slow and dlscordant government is
irving to do something to check the
disease, but Englishmen are SO afraid of
despotism that it is hard to get any
thing done in the greatest emergencies.
Cattle are killed wherever people choose
to kill them. The sick are hurried off to
be slaughtered. Sometimes inspectors
see the meat-oftener they do not
Happy Paris, with Gbaftoirs and inspec-
tors, and tolerable assurance of healthy
viandsi The last comfort is that the dis
ease is confined to cattle. Pork and
mutton are not touched by it. As for
the roast beef of Old England, We must
learn to do without it. And this re-
minds me that there onght to be enter
prise and skill enough to supply Eng
land with American beef as well as lob
ster. The cattle on thousand hills, to
say nothing of the prairies, can all find
q market here, if you can find some way
to send them in eatable condition.

The nature Of Diamonds.

Professor Geppert's long expected
prize essay con the Vegetable Nature
of Diamonds" has recently been pub
lished, illustrated by colored plates.
Experiments show that diamonds can
not be produced by Plutoni agency, as
they become black when subjected to a
high degree of temperature. That they
are, on the contrary, of Neptunian orr
gin, and were at one time in soft con-
dition, is proved not only by the i'm
pressions of grains of sand and crystals
on the surface of some of them, but also
by enclosures of certain foreign bodies,
such as other crystals, terminating
