Having occasion now and then to
frequent public hall, court rooms,
churches, &c., where large crowds are
in attendance, we are either compelled
to leave the building or remain under
the extremely deletcrious and poison
Gus influences Of carbonic acid, being
cShnlcd from the lungs Of every occu-
pant of the room because Of INSULT
cicnt ventilation. The atmosphere Of

this manner is also remote cause Of
other diseases. For these reasvns, and
as matter Of hygiene We insist upon
thorough ventilation during our Muir

meetings which bring large assemblies

Courts il j. common b. see the court |

A Remarkable TrOtter.

There seems to be no doubt enter
tanned among experienced and skilled
horsemen that the bay gelding Edwin
Forrest, recently purchased by Mr..
Bonner for the comparatively moderate
price of $16, 600, is the most remarkable
trotter in the world.
At Hartford, on the 22d of August, he
trotted mile in 2:14I. And yet he is
only seven years old, and is not sup
posed by any one to have reached the
top of his speed.
The theory of many horsemen that the
fastest horse would be large horse is
sustained by this early performance of
Forrest. He is sixteen hands high. At
the same time he is handsome and we'll
proportioned.
Some things which would seem ex-
travagant about any horse are said about
the performances of Forrest, and yet old
trotting men tell us they are perfectly
rue. For instance, 80 careful paper
as the Spirit of the Times, in an account
of Forests trotting at Hartford, says Of
one quarter: If ever two minute gait
was struck by trotter it was by Edwin
Forrest during this quarter.
Either all the trotting men must have

equal. .-Ne,D York Sun.
