Sun STROKE AND LIGHTNING STRoKE:-Sun

Han, cause death In the same manner, the blood
Is expanded and gases are liberated, both tend
ing 10 dstend the veins, which causes in the brain
species Of appopleIy-so that the treatment
suitable III one case viii be equally eficacious In
the other. The distentiOn Of the blood-vessels
induces pressure on the brain, and conse-
Quently all loss of sense and feeling: the
muscles are Paralysed, all motion ceases, and
the functions OF the body are all arrested.
Apply cold cloths or ice bags to the head and
mustard plaster TO The neck, with something
TO act on the bowels as soon as possible
This may save life in some cases, If promptly
resorted TO; but in other and severer attacks
something more speedy than this is an impera-
tive necessity, with the alternative OF death in
a few minutes. Skillful and eminent physi-
clans IN this country, upon actual expert
ment, founded upon a true philosophy, have
ascertaiDed that speedy recovery takes place
within an hour if the patient is ,bled
from both arms in tine old-fashionel way
From the largest distended vein, the blood may
only flow 10y drops at the first second or two, but
as itfOws freer the relief becomes almost mracu-
lous and speedy and complete. DR.. S. w. But
Ter, editor OF the Medical and Surgical Journal

has practised this mode OF treatment SUCCESS

The Metropolitan Railroad.


And now the question comes up as to how far
Washington Is to be benefited by the new road
to Pittsburgh. When the Metropolitan Road is
completed the rail connection between w Ashing-
ton and Pittsburgh will be reduced to sol miles.
or q miles less than between Pittsburgh and
Baltimore. The time between Pittsburgh and
Washington Will also be reduced 70 twelve hours.
The Metropolitan road from Washington to Point
OF Rocks is az miles in length, and by cutting of
the angle 30 the Relay saves % miles I'm coming
to this city from the West by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. These are important advantages.
but when are we 10 realize them? When, when,
when, is the Metropolitan Road to be completed
There are many In our city who will impaticntly
answer "Neverv' but after inquiry and per-
sonal observation I am inclined TO believe that
We shall really see the iron horse on this road
within the next eight months. OF the - sections,
10 are completed. and q large force Is now en-
ployed on the other twenty-tiree. About 5000
ties have already been delivered, and contracts
have been made for supplying the whole line as
fast they can be laid. President Garrett, /
am assured by those who should know, is really
urging every exertion, and Is getting impatient
for the completion of the road. The dificulties
and expense Of its construction, am told by the

II ought TO do good deal, and certainly would
If oscned here; but the question is whether Mr..
Garrett will give Us the benefit Of the great adj
vantagee that would naturally come from hay-
ing O communication with the great west q
miles shorter than Baltimore hes. am not now
joining in the clamor against Mr.. Garrett as a
peculiarly grasping or selfish man; but we must
take things as they arc, and it is not In human
nature, certainly not in railroad nature, TO ex-
pend money to build up rival interests.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the Con.
nellsville road and the Metropolitan road have
been built by Baltimorians with Baltimore
money, and though We may wish il otherwise, 4,
is safe predict that the freight tarf win not tell
against Baltimore In favor of Washington or any
other locality. There are, however one or two sci
fish considerations that may influence the railroad
company to direct considerable business OF GER
tain kinds to this point. Georgetown is now the
shipping point Of a large quantity of Cumber-
land coal, brought down by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, rival interest to the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. 1t is also understood that the
Pennsylvania railroad company propose when
