resentatye colored men on the proposed
negro colonization scheme. They are very
sanguine that the scheme may be prose
cutej to a successful termination. aud re-
port that lively interest la the subject has
already been awakened among philanthro-
pists throughout the country. Prof.
Greener and several other representative
coiored men leave here Tonight for Bos-
ton, where they will lay their plans before
the people OF that city and solicit substsn-
tisl aid. Prof. Greerer says that the peo-
/ pie OF the county need not think that this

A good deal of credit is given to Prot
Gamgee, the Inventor. OF the process Just
adopted by Congress for refrigerating
vessel for protection against yellow fever.
because OF hi. having stopped pretty
large job on It's way through Congress.
Commissioner LeDuc asked for $3.50 600
TO investigate the cattle disease. and Prof
Gamgee, who Is familiar with the subject,
declared that this large amount was unnec-
essary, but the thing to do MAS to place
the matter in the hands OF the National
Board of Health. Congress will probably
adopt this suggestion, which is good
one, economically and sanitsrily.
