Notes on the Origin, Nature, Prevention and
Treatment Of Asiatio Cholera, by John G.
Peters. NJ. d. Published by D. Van
Nostrand, No. 1872 Broadway. New York.
This is the second edition of this val
liable treatise The Chicago Medical
journal, Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal, st. Louis Medical journal, New
York Journal of Medicine, Army and
Navy Journal, and medical periodicals
of other cities unite in recommending
this work to the public. The work con-
tains complete history of cholera, its
origin, prevention and treatment. To
professional men and the general public
it cannot but be of the highest value, for
to know disease is to rob it of half its
terrors. A more interesting and invig-
Grating book it would be impossible to
name, for it removes fears by the pro-
cess of actual demonstration.

A lady in Paducah was recently awak-
ened from sound sleep by noise in
her chamber. 1t was quite dark, but
she could see an immense fire bug per-
forming eccentric gyrations around the
bed accompanied by a noise which
sounded altogether different from that
made by any insect she had ever seen.
She was startled at first, but soon recov-
ering, she watched her opportunity and
made sudden grab at the large bril-
liant star as it approached. She caught
something and held on to it, while at
the same moment the familiar voice
of her husband was heard muttering
indistict anathemas against bats and
other vermin. The lady found that it

difficulty arose about the choice of weap-

should meet in the middle of Piccadilly
with horse-whips, and belabor each other
till one cried enough. This plan was
insisted on, and the combat actually
came of in that manner, resulting in the
speedy satisfaction of one of the parties.

BILE rights Of life, liberty. and the pur'

the ownership Of the ground on which

charming little lots on Lauderdale street.
which Messrs. TrezeyaDt & Co. will, on

place within reach Of the successors OF
that band Of worthless who made the
Fourth Of July a memorable, yea, a
never TO be forgotten day. And in after
years, when a glowing review of the in
estimable blessings Of that great yaid
may have been listened to with rapture
by the multitude, doubtless some among
them will exclaim in the fitness Of their
