who has served in full regimentals at one of

1t is stated by an exchange that "a very
general excitement has been caused in Pc.
ra, BY the publication cf the prophecy Of a
German astronomer asserting that on the
10th, llth, and 18th Of August, this year,
preliminary shocks of earthquake will be
teltin Peru and Ecuador, to be followed on
the Goth of September or October by q
movement Of the earth in the region, and
along the line of the Andes mountains gen.
orally, that will be perfectly appalling in its
effects. The prediction, it appears, created
widespread terror among the Peruvisns
and many families are now preparing to
seek places of greater security. The astron.
omer cannot ascertain to certainty whether
the grand rupture will occurr in September
or October, but that it will be on or about
the goth, he is confident. He afirms that
he has predicted earthquakes before with
perfect accuracy"

with little hairs, and asks somebody to ex.

CONTRACTION OF DIsEAsE.-A fact not suffi.
GENTLY we'll known or appreciated is that per-
sons nursing the sick are liable to contract
disease from which the patient is sufferine,
This does not refer to contagious dis.
eases merely, but to any protrated sickness.
The emanations from the bodies OF the sick con-
fined in i'll ventilated rooms, and inhaled by
the nurse. are deeterious. Nurses therefore
should take pains to get as much pure air as
possible, and avoid sleeping in the same room
with the diseased. Healthy children, also,
sleeping with those who are sickly are injured,
and the more in proportion to the greater con.
trast in health Of the parties. 1t seems to all
q we'll established fact that consumption is thus
communicated, and especially to the young.
