DIR. Hamm onl, who mile the post m )rtem
examination of Mr.. Mccormick, who died re-
Gently in New York, Of hydrophobia, presented
a new theory about this terrible disease, claim
ing that it had its seat iii the nervous system,
as evidenced i'll the lesion of the brain and the
spinal marrow. In the ease OF Mccormick. it
seems that the dog is not dead as was first al
legged, but is alive and free from all signs or in
dications of rabies. This, DR.. Hammond MAIN
tains, is proof that hydrophobia may be produ-
ced from fear operating. on the nervous sys-
TEN. Dr. N. r. Smith Of Baltimore, Who has
given the subject much study and treated 4
number of cases for rabies, regards this theory
of Dr. Hammond as dangerous, and opposes to
it his own experience, in which he has found
1t necessary to cauterize and use the scalpel in
the early history of the wound. He says that
the virus of hydrophoba acts in precisely the
same way as the virus Of vaccine matter, or OF
smallpox or syphilis. The best practice in all
cases is to cauterze at once the parts bitIen and
thus neutralize the poison. The disease is not,
as DR.. Hammond supposes. an effect transmit
ted by the nervous system, or its effects would
be instantaneous.
This view of Dr. Smith is not satisfactory
1t is rarely the nervous system is suddenly de-
ranged to degree that a morbid state is produc-
ed 1t is a condition ofslow approaches, causes
operating differently upon different organiza-
tions. 1t is possible that DR.. Hammond, who
makes nervous diseases;a speciality, has given
too much Importance to his theory, land it is well
enough to have it counteracted by that present.
ed by DIR. Smith. The best remedy is to kill
all the dogs except those confined.4

the Academy Trustees, the city is now siff pos

ROAD from Harrisonburg to North River Gap,
i distance OF some twenty miles, and it is the
present purpose to ifsve the track laying com
menced by the lst OF Oct next, at the farthest.
Arrangements are being consummated for its
western connections, by converting a graded
bed into a narrow gauge road, through Ohio. z.

The OLYMPIA TEN1No RAnRoAD.-Our
Railroad enterprise offers good invest
ment, for it has the local business of
5000 people-the transportation of
grain to the Tumwater mills, averaging
5000 tons per annum, the business of
the other mills and factories at that
place, which are daily growing; it will
secure good part of the travel to and
from the Sound, and it can be operated
at an expense of 500 per day. All these
things are certainties, and the prospects
of securing large coal trade are good.
The California company, it is said, in
tend to open their mine Immediately
and our road can transport their coal at
one-third of the actual cost to the
Northern Pacific. The distance is as
nineteen to forty.tw miles, and the
expenses of operating a narrow-gauge
road as seven to ten. An extension
southwark of five miles from Tenino
will tap very large district of good
land on the upper Skookum Chuck,
and greatly increase the business of the
road. Nine-tenths of the railroad in
vestments are less promising.

A BENEF1cENT ORDER.-The records
of the Grand Lodge of the United
States.for the year 1873 show an active
membership of 1884, 1887 Odd Fellows in
the United States, and that during that
year relief was granted to the sick, the
destitute, the widow and the orphan,
amounting in the aggregate to the sum
of 81 ,503 $40, and this amount, be it
remembered, does not include voluntary
donations made by individual members
of the Order out of their own means,
but only that portion paid out of the
funds of the various lodges.

HOUSES BURNED.-We learn from the
Vancouver Register that the residence of
M. Gibbon, on the Washougal, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire on the 23d ult.
Loss between $500 and $1,000. A
house and barn belonging to James BY
bee, Esq, on the Lackamas Prairie,
was also burned down on the same day,
Thursday, April 23d, destroying all the
hay and grain on the premises and
everything in the house. No one was
living on the place at the time. The
causes of the above fires are not known,
but the supposition is that the first was
by accident and the latter the work Of
an incendiaIy.
