An old error on the subject of hydrophobia
"a disease chiefly remarkable for the quantity
of nonsense that is written about it-receives
fresh refutation from the statistics just fur
nisaed by the Board of Health. In IS years
there have been Al fatal cases in this city.
For the last nine years we are shown in which
months the deaths occurred, and it appears
that Of % cases reported during that period
only five happened in what are called the
dog days"-two in July and three in August.
There were three in'January, three in April.
three in May, and four in September. In June
there were none at all. This confirms what
all scientific men know. that dogs are never
driven mad by hot weather, but are most sub.
jet to rabies in Wet seasons. Ii shows. too,

The Prince Imperial of France, who was
born in 1856, will be declared of age for all
regal purposes on the 10Th of next March.
Such. at least, is a statement not unlocked for
from the GaulOis, paper devoted to Napo-
leOnism in France and Bourbonism in Spain.
True or false, its currency at this time is a
hint that the EmperOr's recovery has not left
the official mind entirely at rest.

Gen. Prim's urgency that Spain shall spare no

The bishop, during the year,
confirmed $40 persons.
Assistant Bishop Whittle
read his report, which CON
tanned much interesting statisti
cal matter in regard to his la
bors since his official connec-
ton with the diocese of Vir-
ginia. Among the 443 con-
firmed by him were 80 cadets,
| professor and 2 assistant pro-
fessors of the Military Institute
8 students and [ professor Of

On motion of Mr.. Barten q
committee Of seven on the sub
ject Of an Episcopal residence
was ordered,
It was resolved that the next
annual meeting of the Council
be at Wheeling.
The subject of Ritualism was
referred to a commmitte
composed of Rev. Messrs.
Andrews, Packard, Pendleton,
G; j. Gibson, Friend and La
tame, Judges Moncure, Shelley
and Parker, and Messrs, Foster
and Carter.
Rev. Mr.. Peterkin offered a
resolution against innovations
in the Liturgy, which, after be-
ing sustained by Messrs. Dash
lei and Wall, was referred to
the Committee on Ritualism.
The question of the admis-
sion Of the colored church at
Petersburg elected an interres-
ting discussion. Messrs. Latane
and Wingfeld wanted the sub
ject postponed. Messrs. Nor
wood and Barten favored the
admission. Others took part,
but did not commit themselves.
The Bishop, in reply to a
question, said the admission of
the church involved the right
of its delegates to seats in the
Council.
Mr.. Tazewell Taylor spoke
in high terms Of the colored rec
tor of the church, Rev. Mr..
Atwell.
Finally the subject was re-
ferred to the following commit
tee: Rev. Messrs. Norton, Nor
wood, Sparrow, Peterkin,
Wingield, Highland Meredith
and Davis; and Messrs. Powell,
Davis, Ewell, Williams, Tay-
lor, Bryand and May. They
will report tomorrow.

Cumming of the Fox.

A certain jagare, who was
one morning keeping watch in
the forest, saw a fox cautiously
making his approach towards
the stump of an old tree
When sufficiently near, he
took a high and determined
jump on to the top Of it, and,
after looking round while,
hoped to the ground again.
After Reynard had repeated
this knightly exercise several
times, he went his way, but
presently returned to the spot,
bearing a pretty large and
heavy piece of dry oak in his
mouth, and thus burdened, and
as it would seem for the pur-
pose of testing his vaulting
powers, he renewed his leaps
on to the stump. After a
time, however, and when he
found that, weighted as he
was, he could make the ascent
with facility, he desisted from
further efforts, dropped the
piece of word from his mouth
and coiling himself upon the
top Of the stump, remained
motionless as if dead. At the
approach OF evening, an old
sow and her progeny. five or
six in number, issued from a
neighboring thicl5et, and prr-
suing their usual track, passed
near to the stump in question.
Two of her Stockings followed
somewhat behind the rest, and,
just as they neared his ambush
Michel, with the rapidity of
thought, darted down from his
perch upon one ofthem, and in
the twinkling OF an eye, bore
it in triumph on to the tastness
he had so provldentially pre-
pared beforehand, Contour
ded at the shrieks of her off
spring, the old SOW returned
in fury to the spot, and until
late in the night made repea-
ted desperate attempts to storm
the murderer $ stronghold;
but the fox took the matter
coolly, and devoured the pig
under the very nose Of its
mother.

SECOND DAY.

Fredericksburg, May 81
The Council met, at 9 o clock,
Bishop Johns presiding.
After religious services, D.
II. Conrad applied for admis-
Sion into the Council Of Christ
Church, recently built at Bran
dy Station with funds contri-
buted by Miss Elvira A.
Wheatley, OF Brooklyn, N. Y.
who was formerly a member
Of the Old Church (St. James')
at that point, which was bur-
ned during, the war. r. H.
Cunningham appeared as its
delegate. The Bishop, in his
report, spoke in becoming
terms of the liherality Of this
pious lady.
The Bishop announced the
standing committees.
Bishop Johns read his annual
report, which gives an encoura-
ging account of the condition
and prospects of the Church of
this diocese. All of the
churches between the James
and the Rappahannock are
reported in better condition
than before the war. 1t de-

CULTIVATION OF 0YsTEBs

Mr.. Frank Buckland pre-
faces a report on this subject, in
the British Association for the
advancement of science, by the
modest remark that the further
he investigates the question of
that most mysterious mollusk
the oyster-the more he finds
that, after all, we know little
or nothing about it. The cul-
tivation of the full grown oys-
ter is, indeed, pretty well
known, after it has arrived at
the state Of brood but il the
earlier stage of the develop
ment comparatively little is
known. It is to the elucidation
|of this latter that Mr.. auckland
has directed his attention and
made experiments. He in
quires into the cultivation of
the oyster hsboth natural and
artificial means, its chemical
analysis, comparison OF the
French and English systems
Of oyster culture, oyster spat,
&c.
He describes also the various
substances to which the deli
cate and thin-skinned young
~spat clings for support in its
growth. The first object Of its
preference is the shell of the
living oyster. In the natural
state, when not disturbed by
the hand of man, the tendency
Of the oyster is to accumulate
in large groupes, in which they
are found crowded and packed
together in the most tanciful
shapes. They are found of all
ages, the nucleus of the groupe
being a very old oyster, and
around it oysters Of all ages
from six to eight years, to a
spat of as many months. A
spirit of accommodation to each
other is evinced in this crowd
ing by these inferior animals
which might be worthy of imi-
tation by the lord Of all genus
homo himself. Very seldom is
there a dead oyster among the
group, and for the most part
they are all alive and thriving.
The favorlte object for adj
herence to that which becomes
a temporary lodging ofthe spat,
SO soon as it is emitted from
the mother shell, is the 'cutch,
a technical name for the shell
of the dead oyster. One of the
most important things in oys-
ter culture is the study and
management Of the clutch, tor
on its abundance, of the re
verse, and on its being clean or
dirty, depends the OBTAINING or
the loss Of the young oyster.
In order that the spat may adj
here, the clutch must be clean
and free from mud and weed.
The young oyster seems to pre-
fer adhering to shell that is
partially decayed and softened,
rather than a new shell lately
placed down. How desirable,
therefore, that the oyster shells
carried away in such large guam
titles from oyster cellars and
carts should not be thrown
away as so much refuse matter,
but sent down to river or sea-
side, and be cast into the water,
where, in favorable seasons,
they would form a trap for the
floating spat. This is done by
culturlsts ON a pretty large
scale.
The third material to which
the spat loves to fasten is mussel

smooth; but the mussels them
selves are the greatest enemies
to oysters, for they spin their
web over them, accumulate
mud, and suAfocate them be-
meath. Periwinkles, on the
contrary, are their natural al
lies, by eating up the green
weed that collects mud, and
cleaning the foreshore in a re-
markable manner.
The young oyster will also
adhere to clans and cookies,
and even to broken pottery
ware. The French oyster cul-
turists collect all they can of
this latter material and place
it down in their oyster parks.
Faggots are often used for the
young oyster. They are de-
clared by Mr.. auckland to be
a delusion and a snare, and
serve only to collect the weeds
and the mud. Thus used they
are Of use to protect tiles placed
in them as objects to which the
spats will adhere. Mr.. Buck
land laid down four thousand
of these tiles on the foreshore
at Herne Bay. This is the
French method. AS a rule it
has been observed that oysters
spat much freely on the west
coast Of France than they do at
the mouth of the Thames and
the adjacent coast. In Re the
lean oysters are placed in what
are called clares--that is to say,
mud ponds, in which they find
food-and certainly become tat
ter born. Experiments have
been made by Mr.. auckland on
the Matching of oyster-spat, so
as to secure for these young
creatures a constant supply of
sea-water artificially raised to
suitable temperature. No
definite results have followed
these trials, which will be con-
tinued. There is little doubt
but that one Of the chief causes
of the young spat dying in
such countless numbers in the
sea is owing to the water not
being of a. sufficient tempera-
ture to allow Of its living and
thriving during the period in
which the process Of adhesion
takes place.
On the subject of dredging
legislation issometimes atfault.
The process consists in sailing
over the grounds and scraping
them with an instrument call
ed dredge, and made chiefly
Of iron. The front part Of it
has a sharpish edge, to pick up
the oysters which are received
into a network. Two opera
tons are performed by the
dredge. 1t picks up the oysters
which it may happen to meet
within its course, and it clears
away the mud and dirt from
the stones over which it passes.
Mr.. Buckland has little fear Of
overwhelming. There will,
he thinks, always be enough
left to stock the ground. The
dangeris from neglect ofdredg-
ing, and thus allowing the
clutch to be covered with mud,
and causing the oyster to per
