DIR. MCCLELLAN on THE CHOLERA

The report OF Surgeon Ely Mcclellan,
OF the United States army, upon the chol-
era epidemic of 1873. with the causes of
the disease generally, manner Of trans
mission, prevcntives and cures, as de-
duced from his investigations carried on
under the appointment and direction of
Congress, is now being issued from the
government press at Washington. The
book is thorough and exhaustive, and
contains much valuable information on
the subject treated of. DR.. Mcclellan
lays down seven general propositions, the
second of which Is that the active agents
In the distribution Of the cholera poison
are the objections of persons suffering
from the disease In any Of its stages. That
in these objections there exists an organic
matter. which, al certain stage Of de-
composition, is capable of reproducing
the disease in the human organ
ism to which it has gained access.
The third proposition Is that cholcra-de-
.iccta coming in contact with and drying
upon any objects, such as articles OF
clothing, bedding and furniture, will re-
tain indefinitely their power of infection.
That In this manner sure transmissibili-
ty Of the cholera infection is effected, and
that distinct outbreak of the disease
may occur by such means at great
distances from tho seat of original intcc.
ton.
Fourth. DR.. Mcclellan holds that tn,
specific poison which produces cholera
originates alone in India, and has never
yet appeared in tn, Western Hemispher,
until its Presidential march has beef
begun In the Eastern World, and 1t,
breaking out in this country has in
variably been preceded by the arrival o
vessels infected with cholera sick o.
laden with ..emigrants and thei
property from infected districts, an,
fifth. that the respiratory and digestiv,
organs are the avenues through whicl
individual Infection Is accomplished. ant
the use of water contaminated will

from surface washings, neglected sewers
cess-poOls, &C., will often induce an out
break of the disease.
DR.. McClellan's preventives Of cholera
epidemics are two: vigorous quarantine
at every part of entry In the country dur
ing the prevalence of the disease In othe'
countries, and thorough cleanliness q
houses, yards. streets, alleys and by'way
In all towns and cities. lie also recon

ance Of the disease at any point, care be
ing taken that the disiniectants used ar

as possible OF common house flies durin

Fire.
On last Tuesday the hou,e of VIM.
Leonard, Esq. Pine Forge. Va, accidently
caught fire. A considerable portion OF
he root was burned off-one entire side
and part Of the other. There were but
few hei present. but the women fought
the fire heroicaly, carrying water in
buckets, tubs, &C., and doing good SER
Vice in a calm, cool way. Had it not
been tor their prompt and determined
action, the entire building would have
been consumed. We'll done!-Valley.

and assurances given that the prospect
for full and even unexampled crop
was never better, and the Wilmington

trlcts where the greatest injury was
supposed to have been done the
damage is slight.
An extensive peach-grower near
Fairfax station. Va, who has about
5000 peach trees, and 1000 of other
fruits, recently made thorough exams

Next Monday will be the first day OF
May Court. In former years it was looked
upon az an important day. 1t was then
that martial spirits of the county assem-
bled at the county seat. About o'clock
strains of martial music rcseunded upon the
air, and 'then there was hurrying to and
fro.r A crowd Of officers. citizens and
boys answered to the call and in front OF
one of the hotels might be seen a motiy
crowd, until, with stentorian voice, the
chief gave the command parade, Gentle
men, Parade" For several days the drill
ing continued. Officers were taught the
various evolutions which they, in turn,
were expected to teach theil respective
companies.
On Friday the opportunity OF giving
evidence of their knowledge was afforded.
The 146th Regiment met and. ut an early
hour the companies were formed pre-
paratory to the formation of the Regiment.
The volunteer company, we could only
afford one then, with their snow white
pants, their blue coats, their white leather
belts. their black cartridge boxes, their
well pol ished muskets, and their white
and redwood plumes, were the observed OF
all observers. The colonel mounted up
on his fiery steed received the regiment
from the adjutant; and with voice that
rang clearly. from one end of the town to
the other, seLt forth the preparatory
command attention, battalion; followed
by .Right face, March,, The Regiment
was marched to the commons where tor
about five hours they were drilled in
those evolutions, the importance OF which
was never realized until they were called
to other fields OF training. The appear
ance of the regiment was one ola varied
character. Upon the right flank the
volunteers, in their snowy uniform and
armed with we'll polished muskets, gave a
military air which stood out in bold con-
trast with the rest of the regiment, which
was generally knownas fiat foots and in
which walking sticks took the place Of
muskets. These evoluticns were always
witnessed by large crowds which occu-
pied the high grounds along the fences.
Cakes and Beer vendors, dealers in candy
aud other refreshments met with great en-
enlargement. Blu: alas! those good old
days are past. The late unpleasantness
has forever destroyed the military ard or
of the militia.and no more will we lie per-
mittcd to witness those displays Of pagean-
try as OF old.

els L. Smith, of Alexandra, has been
leased to Messrs MCGOWAN and Shinn,
of Georgetown, who are making ex.'
tensive preparations for introducing
the stone taken from it into the larger
Northern cities. The stone will be
taken to Alexandria by the Midland
railroad, and shipped from there on
barges to Washington or to the rail-
road slip on the opposite side of the
river. Mr.. Garrett has examined the
stone with view of using it in the
erection of the new Office Of the B. &

ident of the Washington City Vir'
ginia Midland and Great Southern

request of Mr.. John w. Garrett has
sent to Baltimore two samples of stone
from the line of Mr.. Barbours road.
One is a handsome piece of brown
sandstone from the Manassas or Bull
Run quarries, now beginning to be
used as a building and ornaments
stone in Washington, and regarded as
fully equal to the Connecticut brown
stone. so fashionable for frorts of fine
hou,es in New York The other
sample is a piece of dressed marble
from Orange county, FIVE miles east OF

large masses and of various colors. and
would suit for building, or dressed,
