Dr. Mosher Of this city, has at his Off Ice a
couple of tape worms in a good state of preser-
vaton recently secured in the line of his profess
sion, one measuring ffty-oue and the other thir-
ty-fve feet in extreme length, about the width of
ordinary tape. Their make up seems to be in
regular joints of about an inch in length, hinged
together somewhat after the style of fiat chain
used for running over machinery puleys, and the
like. The presence in the human system of one
of these parasites would be by no means desirable
or agreeable.
The new school house south end OF Second

lapitated den which it replaces.
