Another of the school of EsOgrs Doc
tors Brought TO Grief.

Another of that extensive fraternity de
nominated ''bogus DOCTORS" has Just been
brought to grief at Middle Granville in the
adjoining county of Washington in the
State of New York. An individual calling
himself William r. Merwn, NJ. D.. has
been extensively operating for some time
past, and from all amounts has met with
considerable success in financial way In
1870 he started in st. Louis what he term
ed the ''St. Louis Medical Association" un-
der which title he carried on his nefarious
practices for about nine months, which
got too hot for him, and he went to New
York and established the "New York
Medical Association" at No. 3, College
Place. He located himself at Middle Gran
vile and by arrangement had the mail mat
ter addressed to both the st. Louis and New
York offices sent to Middle Granville. He
flooded the country with circulars adver-
Using his nostrums, etc. On Wednesday
last the Hon. Isaac w. Thompson of Gran
vile issued warrant for his arrest. which
was placed in the hands of Officer Stilson
who succeeded in arresting him. On
searching his premises four trunks con
tanning letters, circulars, etc, were found
A partial examination was had and he was
held to bail in the sum of $4,000, to appear
before the Grand Jury at the next term of
Oyer and Termner. The people cannot
be too wary of travelling doctors.

A snake story.

a lady about twenty years of age, named
Mary Ellen Thomas, living in New York,
went to Boston week or ten days ago and
has since been stopping with her aunt, Miss
Lille. She has for number of years
been an invalid, the exterior form of her
malady taking the shape of fits, which oc-
CURED periodically and frequently. Since
her stay in Boston she has suffered as usual
and has, as often hitherto, had an inordi-
nate appetite, to appcase which she was
compelled to eat with great frequency
When she neglected the masticatory pro-
cess too long she would invariably feel q
sharp, sudden pain in the region of the
stomach, and would then as invariably have
a fit. On Saturday afternoons physician
was called in and suspectng the cause of
the trouble he administered an anaesthetic,
then an emetic, and in a short time the lady
elected from her stomach a snake almost
twelve inches in length. The only expla-
nation the young lady can give is that some
SIX or seven years ago, while at a picnic in
her native place, she drank some water
from spring and: was suddenly and unac-
countably Ill IN manner which has often
been repeated since. The inference is that
she swallowed the reptile on that occasion,
