a letter from Falrhayen, which is part of
the city Of New Haven, Connecticut saws that
about One-quarter of the oysters taken from
Chesapeake Bay are carried to that city. two
more quarters to Baltimore, and the rest
divided between Boston and New York.
About 100000 are ''Shucked" at Fairhavcn.
besides the millions carried there in kegs The
letter adds:
tpicures will be griered to learn that fears
are entertained Of shoN supply in the season
just opening. While the war continued tbc
eastern shore of Chesapeake BAY was raked
bare. The western shore is now accessible
where the Rappahannock, York and other
rivers discharge; but oysters in that part have
grown wild (rank) from remaining undis
turbed so long, suiiocating each other in LARGE
masses. Moreover, labor is scarce. and the
owners exclude intruders so far as possible
with jealous vigilance.
The method pursued by the Fairhaven oys
termen Is to plant about 300, 900 bushels in the
spring IN some chosen spot in New Haven
harbor, favored with ''qulck tides and good
bottom Of muddy sand. Under this treatment
an oyster that spawns this season will be large
enough year hence to make Ecount'' oys-
ter, which Is considered remarkable growth
nowhere surpassed. The oysters thus trans
terred from Southern waters rapidly improve
in size and flavor, and form a sort of deposit
relied upon to supply current demands until
after the holidays.
Five months are generally allowed for the
oyster to become acclimated The creature is

The ChoEera-Ti,e zce.aaa. Remedy

In letter to the London Times, DR.. John Ohap-
man gives an interesting of the result of his
treatment of cholera patients at Southampton by the
application ofice-bags to the spine. He states the
points of his theory as follows:
That the nausea. vomiting, copious discharge of
the well-known rice water stools cold sweat and
peculiar odor from the body, are due to the combined
action Of the hyper9mic spinal cord and Sympathctc
nervous centres in the same manner as they induce
phenomena of the like kind, though less in degree,
in of summer darrhoea and of sea sickness when
it is accompanied with diarrhoa.
The cholera Is neither contagious nor infections
in any sense whatever, except through the depress-
ing influence of fear.
''The cholera may be completely averted and.
when developed, cured by modifying the temperature
of the spinal region.
After detailing the symptoms of two cases of cho-
lera which fell under his observation Dr. Chapman
offers the following suggestions for the use of the ice
bag:
-. The cold must be applied along only a narrow
strip-not more than four inches broad in the adult
down the very centre of the back.
''2. The cold must be dry, not wet cold
SO. The ice bag should be continued along the
whole spine only unit! the cramps and algde symp-
toms have been Subdued
The ice-bag should be continued to be applied to
the lower half of the spine until vomiting and purg
S. The patient should be assidously watched. to
guard, in the stage of reaction, against cerebral or
pulmonary cOngeStOns, the development of which
will be facilitated by continuing the ice too long in
the cervcal and dorSal regions.
'6. If such cOngestlOns should occur they will be
denoted by heaviness, incoherency, wandering, and
by laborious breathing, and may be subdued by ap-
ature of one hundred and twenty degrees, along the
lower part of the neck and below the scapua

ffisinterrinG the Dead on the Southern,
Battle E'sGJ.!s

The Nashville correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercioi says that the 10Th instant a party of
gentlemen and two hundred soldiers, under the
command Of Colonel W. L. Cav, started from Chat
tanooga for the Chickamauga battle field, for the
purpose OF experimenting the diSn termcnt of the
brave soldiers who fell there with the view of trans
terrlng their remains to the National Cemetery at
Chattanooga. where their bones can find an apnro-
pirate ilnal resting place surrounded by the dust of
their patriotic comrades.
The season has now arrived when Gen. Thomas
has, by general order permitted the eXhumug and
removal North, OF the remains of soldiers for rcbu-
rial among their friends, and near the homes they
used to adom and make happy. Doubtless many
Will avail themselves of the opportunity to remove
the remains Of their brave relatives and friends,
And who so intend should not let the present year
pass without ACCOMPLISHING their purpose. With
spring in the South will come cultivation of the soil
and the ploughing over of graves in the way.
The exit for bodies eXhumed from the hattlc-fclds
and national cemeteries of the southeast will be
through Nashville. Dir. f, Ii. Prunk. who has been

IN dslnterrng and forwarding to their friends the
bodies OF soldiers, has lately established agencies at
Chattanooga, Atlanta, Macon, Andersonvillc and
Huntsville, for the purpose Of thoroughly at

soldiers. Perhaps this information may prove SER

To the Hon. Gideon JFelles, Sec Of the Macy l.:
Sir-I have the satisfaction of submitting

which has just been received from Mr.. Ad-
ans, together with its accompaniment a copy
of a note of Earl Russell, relating to the re-
strictions upon American National vessels
which lately were maintained by Her Majes-
tvs Government in British ports and waters.
The dispatch shows that all the Objectionable

removed, and that it is the desire of Her Ma
jesty's Government that unrestricted hospi-
tality and friendship shall be shown to vessels
of war of the United States in all her Males
tvs ports, whether at home or abroad.

known to Her Maiesty's Government his sat
isfaction with this pleasing manifestation OF
consideration and justice on the part Of Great
Britain. | have, therefore, to request you to
inform the naval officers of the United States
| that the instructions which have heret ofore
been given them to make determinations in
regard to their visits in British ports and their
| intercourse with British naval vessels are now
countermanded and withdrawn, and that
| henceforth the most liberal hospitality and
courtesy will be expected to be shown by the
navy of the United States to the navy of Great
Britain.
have the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant, WN. H. SEWARD.

The Fistsburg BOrGia-Versiict of Murder
i'm the First Degree Rendered.

The Pittsburg Commercial of Monday SAYS:
On Saturday morning the Court of Over
and Terminer met at nine clock, all the
Judges on the bench. The Court announced
that the jury in the case of Mrs. Martha Grin
der had agreed upon a verdict, when the
prisoner was brought in from Jail. At twenty
five minutes after nine clock the jury entered
the court room, and, after being poiled, rem
dered a verdict Of guilty Of murder IN the first
degree. Mrs. Grinder did not exhibit any
emotion when the verdict was announced but
appeared as calm and collected as any ordi-
nary spectator. She was then taken back to
jail where, at her request, she had an inter
view with her husband, who is awaiting trial
on charge Of being accessory to the murder
of Miss Jane Buchanan. The interview be-
tween them is described as having been very
affecting.

The Students Congress at Brussels and
Victor Hugo.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Duily Ne1rs saws:

The Paris correspondent OF the London
Daily News says:
''There is rumor that NJ Victor Hugo,
now in Brussels, and preparing to preside at
the students congress, is likely to be expel-
led from Belgium. The news does not seem
to me absolutely incredible. The recent ex-
pulsion of NM. Rogeard and Longuet shows
that the Belgian Ministry has not the courage
to disobey any order from France, and there
is probably no man living for whom the
present French government entertain such
intense feelings Of hatred as the author of
Napoleon lie Petit An excuse would be
found in the disorder which the bare prelimi-
naries of the congress are said to have occa-
stoned in the schools. 1t is alleged that not a
single student has this year been found fit to
go up for his final examination at the Uni
versity of Liege, and the blame is laid upon
Victor Hugo, whose doctrines about the
'federations Of people have turned the young
mems heads and made them neglect their
studies. A great many students propose to
leave Paris tor the Congress"

IHE Erentng Post states that the influence
OF u the London Times was procured for the re-
belhon through woman ''of energy and
talent, who entirely possessed the confidence
OF an editor of that paper. This woman was
first interested in the Southern cause. and
when the cotton loan was proposed, the lady
friend and the editor were both remembered
IN the free allotment" But by some means
the lady secured both shares, and the editor
that loan. The shrewdness of the woman has
helped her but little, for her double share in
the confederate loan is now worth just as much
as the same quantity of waste paper.

TIE MYSTERIES OF FREycu Fern

LIE MYSTERIES OF FRENCH EEUILLETOYs
1t is said that the editors of the French
daily papers now accept serial stories from
their contributors on very odd conditions
If the public are pleased with a novel it is to
be extended so as to last several months: if
it does not make hit, its plot is to be com
pleted and the climax brought on at a week $
notice. One publisher ordered novelist to
finish at once a narrative having fifteen char
acters. In four days fourteen of them had
been killed by variety Of violent deaths ;
but just then the editor changed his mind
ordered the story continued indefinitely, and
the obhging writer at once created a bevy of
new characters. In another instance a gentle
man who was publishing in daily numbers in
La Patrie translation Of Mrs. Henry Woods 5
East Lynne received summary directions
to cut short the novel, and to close the career
of Lady Isabel by immediate suicide by
hanging.
