Iron MOUNTAIN AND North WEST
ERN RAILROADS TO BE Connected
The Nashville Banner of Monday last,
aunouuces that the Nashville aud Chat
tanooga Company have determined to
extend the Northwestern road to a con-
nection with the Iron Mountain. This
.sr-1s siou is absolutely essential to the
interest of both roads The Nashville
Union and American of Thursday, pub
fishes a communication in regard to this
connection. which abounds iu such facts
as should commend themselves to the
attention of the railroad managers. The
correspondent favors the connection
from Hickman through Missouri, at or
near Charleston, and states that this line
saves II miles in the through distance
from Nashville to St Louis. We vii
add, that the Missouri line, can be built
much cheaper and easier, and that it
would attract considerable aid from citi-
zens. etc. We consider the settlement
of this connection of great interest to
the City of Hickman, for if through it,
We obtain 4 direct communication with
St Louis, it gives US positive chance OF
other Southern roads. The
as We desire it is manifestly
10 the interest of the railroad interests,
being II miles shorter from Nashville to
st. Louis, through an easier country, and
an attract much larger stock and aid.
Hence, We are hopeful, that when these
acts are known and understood by the
abroad controllers, they will adopt the
indicated.

The Bath In Smallpox.

DR.. Stokes, Regius Professor, Dub
lin, says: 1--WE cannot doubt that the
mortality in small pox hospitals would
be greatly diminished by the use of the
bath" After describing very severe
case of confueut small-pox.in which the
patient was kept alive only BY stimulants,
he says the trial of the warm bath was
suggested to him by Mr.. Smyly. THE
effect was instantaneous and marvellous.
The delirium ceased as if by magic 1t
was the delirium of pain, and the patient
exclaimed, Thank God! thank Godl l
am in heaven Why didn't you do this
before?' The fetor Immediately and COM
pletely disappeared, so that, on entering
the ward, no one could suppose that there
was a case of smallpox in it. He was
kept at least seven hours in the bath. ]"

dition to the experience of Hebra, justi-
