Mr.. HAsNER, of Wellsburg, dropped
in on US Yesterday. de said that he saw
the engine of the 2, w. Il h. road abou!
a mile above the mouth of Short Creek,
as he came down. That is within ten,
miles of Wheeling. The grading Is all
done, we believe; the bsllasting is done to
Wellsburg, and now ten miles OF track

had yesterday, should continue

SCARLET fever has been so prevalent
IN Moundsyille for some time past as to
cause the temporary closing OF the
schools. The Mayor has issued procIa-
nation, requesting all persons where
scarlet fever exists in their families, 10
remain indoors during the existence OF
tae disease, and he forbids others visiting
sny house in which the disease exists.
THIS order brings up the old question
as 10 whether the scarlet fever can be
communicated simply by coming in con-
tact or the street with persons who have
been III tue presence of the disease, but
who have it not themselves. Upon this
proposition, doctors differ. In con-
yersstion, recently, with DR.. SToRER, OF
Tsiadelphia, he recounted to us num-
Der of instances that had happened in ms
own practice, which went lar to convince
him that ordinarily this disease Is not so
communicated. The Doctors own little
daughter was discovered to be all broken
out with scarlet fever. He immediately
had mis- little son put out OF
the sick room and kept out.
Both the mother and father passed
frequently every day from the most in-
innate contact with the patient to the
nursing and tondling of the well child
but failed to communicate the disease
A similar Instance was mentioned AS
h.ving occurred in the family OF Mr.. ).
f.. SMITH at Elm Grove; and, in fact,
the doctor said that in a practice OF many
wears he had never yet known a single
instance IN which he WAS convinced that
this dread disease was communicated by
persons who were not themselves the
subject of its attack. That it is commu-
nicated IN the atmosphere-that the
atmosphere OF locality may become
literally poisoned with the malaris-the
doctor had no doubt.

DEAR sIR.-During the past few We, ks great deal
of rain has fallen, although it is usually the case
that have but little at this of the year. and
believe that its coincidence with the late unique
volcanic eruption is not fortuitous. 1t is we'll
known fact, ascertained by long series of Observa-
tions that rain is almost to follow large fire
or great battle, Q strong volcanic eruption,
ing any disturbance of the atmosphere by great
diffusion Of gaseous matter.
The volcanic action Of this country being now con-
centrated in the island of Hawaii, not only we
suppose that the rain is more abundant there than
on the other islands, but also that the production Of
volcanic gas may render possible the cultivation of
certain products on that island which have proved
failures in other parts of the country where volcanic
action is extingushed.
1t is certain that the coffee plantations

be so with wine cultivation The main thing should
be the choice of situations with reference the posi-
ton of the volcano, and the
