MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE.
We are in receipt of the thirty-irst an
nuaI announcement OF the medical de-
partment of the university Of Louisville.
We are glad 10 see that this institution is
in q prosperous condition, but particu-
larry DO we recognize 3 feature in its
organization which cOmmends itself TO
southern patronage, and gives promise Of
greater success. While we recognize in
It's faculty the names Of men who have
become distinguished as teachers, We
observe a strong addition in
the names Of two gentlemen
extensively known and In high
esteem throughout the southwest,
through their high positions and distin-
| guished services in the Confederate
army. We allude to Drs. David W.
Yapdell and Preston B. Scott. The
former became well and favOrably
known TO most Of the physicians Of the
south as president Of the army medical
examining board, and as medical director
to the two Johnstons, HsTdee and Kirby
Smith. In these positions be was dis
tinguished for his skill as a surgeon
and for his administrative ability. We
have heard be has singular fitness and
e~loquence as q teacher. or DR.. Scott, We
IAN speak from q long personal acquaiE-
tance. While he was medical director
to the lamented Polk, to s. D. Lee and
to Dick Taylor, We held a position
from which we could observe his
uniform courtesy, his untiring en-
r and his discreet judgment, a
an executive officer. These qualities
enabled him to fill with honor and use
fulness his position as medical director
in the field and of the hospital depart
ment Of Mississippi and Alabama, Of
unusual responsibility from its extent
and distance from the seat of govern
ment. DR.. Scott is, we believe,
untried as q teacher, but his high
promise, and his popularity in the
south make him a valuable accession TO
the school. With such facilities for the
practical study Of disease, as the institu-
ton presents, and with such names as
Miller, Powell, Rogers, Scott and Van
dell, we see no reason why u medical
students, who seek schools uOTthwsrd,
should go beyond Louisville.

Sad Case of Drowning Wonderful FL
D ~ delity of a Dor. -.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept, 9th. /.
About one O clock yesterday, sad case of
drowning occurred in the Monongahela, at
the upper Birmingham bridge. A bov.
said TO be aged about thirteen years, but
whose name is yet unknown, was coming
over to Pittsburgh, and when about half
way, climbed up on the railing that guards
the side of the bridge. He walked along
1t for some distance steadily enough, but
suddenly lost his balance and toppled over
into the river a distance of at least sixty.
feet: He. had been accompanied by a small
terrier, which, on perceiving the accident
that had befallen its master, instantly
jumped after him, and no sooner had the
unfortunate boy arisen to the surface of the
water, than it seized him by the hair and
made the most desperate efforts to bring
him to shore. For time it appeared that
the faithful animal would succeed in saving
him, but after having struggled vigorously
-or minute or two to effect that object. it
was at length compelled to relinauish It's
hold of the lad, who instantly sank to the
bottom. The dog then swarm to shore
where a few bystanders took him in charge
and had him carried to the Mayors Office.
The body of the boy was not found, nor
was it discovered who it was.
