Y. M. G. A. LECTURE.-The second lecture
IN the Young Mems Christian Association
course Of entertainments, was delivered at
Association Hall last evening by Israel T.
Dana, M. D., one of the oldest and most emf
nent practitioners of this city. Considering
the stormy weather, the audience was large.
The lecture was very learned and Interesting,
and gave eminent satisfaction.
The Doctor announced his subject to be "The
Heart and Circulation" He first spoke of the
blood and its uses. The quantity of blood in
man of a hundred and sixty pounds is
about Lwo and half gallons; usually about an
eighth of the weight. 1t is the great nourisher
of the body. Food is useful only as it is acted
upon by the digestive juices, liquifed and re-
ceived into the blood. II is also the source of
pancreatic jaices and the bile, are all formed
out OF it,. Over twenty-five pounds of sscre-
tiOns daily transude, do their work and, in
changed form, are re-absorbed into the blood
1t is also the source of the exoretions "a pound
and half of carbonic acid are daily exhaled
ton, often insensibe, averages two pints day
for an adult Ali the tissues Of the body are
incessantly wearing out and being repaired,
molecule by molecule. The blood is
constantly carrying away to the excreting
organs the effete materials and bringing to the
tissues new and fresh supplies. The circula-
ton of the blood brings it into contact init
mately with all the tissues and organs of the
body.
The circulation is divided into two parts, the
systemic and the pulmonary. In the former
the blood is carried from the left side of the
heart, pure, to nourish the whole system, and
brought back full of carbonic acid to the right
side of the heart. In the pulmonary circula-
ton the impure blood is carried from the right
side of the heart to the lungs to bs aerated, and
then brought back, pure, to the left side.
The combined calibre OF the capillaries is es-
titnated to ba 800 or 400 times as largo as that
of the arteries, but the capillaries are very
short. The heart was then described, and the
difference between the hearts CT fish, reptiles
and mammals shown by diagrams on the
blackboard. The human heart was then de-
monstrated upon French model, and the
heart of an OK was shown, in which the beauti-
fol valves, strong f1eshy pillars and delicate
tendonous chords were easily observed,
The lecture was closed with a few practical
suggestions as to the care of the organ and some
of the commonest ways in which it is abused by
the people were pointed out
The next lecture will be given December I'd,
by Seth G. Gordon, M. D., of this city, upon
the subject ''Sleep.".

THE STUDY OF MODERN LANGUAGES. Mr..
Ludwig Tfiest, graduate of Breslau Univer-
sity, Germany, announces course of lectures
on the study of modern languages. The sub
iect is very important and interesting one.
The theme is not new in ITSELF but it offers
inexhaustible materi al for information as new
theories and more effective rules are tontinu-
ally brought forward. The value, Of the study
of modern languages is generally recognized
and therefore the method Of teaching them b.
comes very important matter. Pestalozzi,
undoubtedly one of the greatest of educators,
is the author of the saying that the highest art
is the art of teaching and that the most essen.
tial part in it is good method. Nature being
our first and bast teacher, care should bs exer-
cised that our subsequent ones are not too
greatly her interiors. 1t is an undisputei fact
that graduation from German university i'm
plies wide and thorough knowledge in the
most important branches of education. But
Mr. Ttiest has something more than q diplom
to recommend him. He has given great part
of his life to the study of languages, as his IL
innate acquaintance with many of tn EN-, both
ancient and modern, proves. His has not been
q superficial study, but one that has gone to
the bottom of things. Ga the subject of com
parative philology he has had the advantages Of
the teachings of the most distinguished French
aud German professors, among them Peof.
Max Muller, whom he listened to at Strasbourg
and with whom he has carried on for many
years frequent correspondence. In the light
Of these facts Mr.. Triest's lectures are likely
to be full of valuable suggestions to the stu
dent of modern languages.

STATE VALUATION,
Reply t, 'Decring's" Last Cammunica-
ton.

sDeeting' affects to believe that 1 call the
old system of laying state tax perfect, which
DO not. only chose to deny his sweeping
declaration that each town, in fact, makes the
state tax upon it, when it establishes its own
valuation. Even in yesterdays reply he
charges that "the town valuations are the
basis of the state valuations, with very few
changes" This reiterat;on deny from knowl-
edge and by authority. In 1869 one town in
Cumberland county valued Its COWS SIS head,
The town next to it, and with no difference in
herds, valued its COWS $50 head. This is an
actual fact in illustration, The same difference
existed in the valuation of National bank stock
all over the state. One city put hers at $50 a
share, while another placed hers at $12O. And
SO of tonnage, Of farming lands, &c. Now
what each COMMITTEE has done-and the rec
ords are uniform in support of my declaration
has been to make what it called "far cash
value standard, for all articles, and apply it
to all this property, ignoring each towns Pc
culiar measure Of values. Now "Deerng" has
made some good suggestions as to obtaining
taxes from special sources, all in the line of r.
form in this business, which of course am
glad to approve; and only take issue-now as
before-with his assumption that the town
valuations have been subs atialy adoptei bv
the state, for this is in no sense b1rne ont nv
the history of this work.
AS TO his preference for a nall com mittee. T
still hold that as this state tax is only legisla
tive bill to bs submitted each decade. the
preparation of it is almost entirely a matter of
detail. and that the democratic method of taxi
ing a representative from each section ia the
most satisfactory as well as the swifest, since ali
the special work could be done BY sub-com.

injuries and for damages to plaintiffs corriage alleged
to have been occasioned by want of railing upon an
embankment upon the approach to bridge at the
foot of hill in highway in the defe ndant town
leading from White Rock to the Shad Gulley school,
house so called. The plaintiff, according to his own
story, was passing over the road with a horse and

half past eight dark night driving at the rate Of
five or six miles an hour, when his left wheel went
over the side of the embankment his carriage tipped
over and he was thrown out, breaking three of his
ribs.

that the plaintiff at the time of the accident was
travelling in the opposite way from which he says he
was travelling at the time of the accident; that his
carriage had very narrow tire, seven-eghts of an
inch in width, and that the next morning the track
was plainly dscernible showing that he passed over
the bridge and attempted to turn around upon this
approach tc the BRIDGE and in doing went over the
bank; that he stated to many people shortly after
the accident in attempting to account for it that his
horse might have been frightened by dog or cat
which caused him to shy, and further, that within
two three weeks alter the injury he told the Sc
lectmen that he would be liberal with the town, that
he not injured badly as he at first supposed,
but thought he ought have at least ten dollars to
compensate him for his doctors bill and the injury
to his carriage The defendants also introduced tes-
timony to the effect that the plaintiff seen in the
