The following extracts from influential
Foreign journals will speak for them
selves
From the Berlin Zeitung:-Dr Souvielle

young mar, has by his wonderful idvsn-
ton for the successful treatment of lung

once In the front ranks Of medical bene-
fabtors of the pre- sent day.
PREMIUM AwARDED:-From Daily
Statesman, Oct %: DIR. Souville has
bad his Spirometer on exhibition at the
State Fair, and this morning we noticed
blue ribbon at}ached to II, indicating
that the committee had awarded him
the fIss premium upon it. The Doctor
has, since his stay IN this city, treated a
large nnmber of persons, all OF whom
concur in testifying to he efficacy Of this
treatment. The scientific combination
OF medicines used in his SplroIl eter con-
veys their medicinal prosperitirs, by
means of inhalation, tlirect to the IN.
famed and diseased surfaces, removing
and healing them as If by magic We

DIR. SoUvIELLE From the Salem
Mercury, Oct 24:-lt is with pleasure we
notice the success of this eminent French
physician and Surgeon, with his PARIS
Spirometer, in the treatment of n Bal ca
iarrh and bronchial affections. Man of
the cures affected by him in this city were
Cases of long standing, and the persons
rece, wing relief are grateful to him for
his effoiJs in their behalf We recon-
mend those afflicted to give him a call,

effect permanent cure.
From the 81. Petersbury Medical Jour
| ndt.-Havind noticed frequent mention
in our en.hanges of DIR. Souvielle's cele-
brated throat and lung Spirometer, and
deemfng it our duty as a medical jour
nalist to investigate for ourselves, we
visited the hall of the Art Association,
and through the kindness of DrSouvielle
gave it a thorough examination. The Dr.
has undoubtedly struck the key note in
| this beautiful invention, and conferred
upon suffering humanity boon of price
less value.

Last.evening at the police hearings,
William Mitchell, young colored man,
was arraigned on the charge of assault
ing James Irons, another cOlored man,
with a knife, in Hedgeville, on Tuesday
night. 1t appears from the evidence that
Irons was passing along the street in an
intoxicated condition, and coming up to
where Mitchell and some other men
we're standing, announced that he could
whip any one in the crowd. One OF the
number, named Samuel Caulk, was OF
the opinion that Irons could not thrash
HIM whereupon Mitchell stepped up to
Irons, and a fight ensued. The prisoner
drew knife, and enflicted a very ugly
cash upon Irons breast. DR.. Morrison,
who was called upon to dress the wound,
testified that the wound might prove
fatal.
The Mayer required Mitchell to fur
nish 81, 500 bail TO answer the charge at
the next term of Court.

BLAcKBIRD, Del, Sept. %. 1879.
A. the north bound far train was re-
turning Friday evening party OF ladies
and gentlemen were surprised to hnd
that they were being whirled rapidly
past their destination. A hasty search
was made for the conductor. but he was
nowhere to be fonnd it seems. At last
brakeman stopped the train one mile
past their destination, and gave them
their choice of going to the next station
or to gel off in the woods. They chose
the latter evil. Truly it was tine pros
pect. to walk one mite on foggy night,
With a high trestle bridge, two hundred
IL, fifty feet long. TO cross. But they
hal to do 1t. and arrived home safe and
iatgued. Would 1t not be as we'll for the
+. W. & B. Railroad to employ compe-
tent officers and oues who would attend
to their business, as to employ tho e
whose only thought Is to arrive at Will
mingtOn as soon az they CAP, not caring
for the comfort or feelings OF the pas
sengers? A PASSENGER.

Bad RONS.

Bad boys infest all parts of the city,
but those who make Third and Jefferson
their " stamping glound," certainly sur
pass in ingenious aud provoking devil
try, any other gang in town. At least
this is the opinion Of some bricklayers
who are now at work in that neighbor-
hood. When they started to work they
found about one-third of their sand scat
tered along the street and the balance so
filled with stones as to be almost useless,
while their work was impeded every
minute by the little imps pressing around
them to see what was going on. The
negro hod-carrier expressed a world OF
truth in a remark to the effect that they
were "wuss dan de debbil wanted EN- to
be-" and when No. 3 school dismissed
he sank helplessly down upon the curb
stone and gaspingly declared that Bed
lam had broke loose." Frank Perkins,
the bricklayer, says he finds bad boys all
over town, but that the boys Of Third
and Jefferson are entitled to the prem
ium for general cussedness."

Dover Musical Exhibits.


1t seems that Mr.. Allen is exceedingly
pleased with the decision over the musi.
cal instruments, especially over the Or
gans, at the Dover Fair. Let me put
some light to this matter. Tho principal
organs on exhibition were the Mason &
Hamlin, the New England and the
Estey organs. Now 1t would require a
careful examination to find out which OF
these differen: makes would be tho best, !,
and l am In much doubt whether the
Mason Il Hamlln organ would come out
victorious. III regard to the pianos, there
were the Stief and the Fisher pianos;
the latter known throughout the trade
as cheap make OF no particular merit,
as being cheap, while the reputation OF
the Stieff piano is well established, and
their last award as "Highest honors over
all American and many European rivals
at the Exhibition in Paris, 1S79," speaks
for itself.
The funniest thing in the affair is that
the judges over this instrument acknowl-
edge these facts and admit that they bad
no proper time to give the instruments
an examination, but had to submit to
the feeling of the Dover gentlemen to
divide the awards among the exhibitors.

Dischnr0inQ a Revolver.

Last night. about II O'Clock, the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Fourth and Har-
rIson str sets, we're awak ened from their
peaceful slulnbers by the discharge of q
revolver. 1t appears that colored man
named Christmas, who was passing
along the street at the time, thinking 1t
would be a good joke, drew his revolver
and discharged four shots from It.. One
of the residents demonstrated with him
for 30 doing, and in return was told to
shut up, as II was none of his business.

ANOTHER Indian IN lssacre has Just
been escaped by our soldiers some
twelve or fifteen Of whom have no doubt
been killed. And we should not be
much surprised If the next news should
inform us that the command of Major
Thornburgh, three companies, that were
surrounded by the Indians when the
messenger left the camp, had been mas
sacred, just as Clusters command were.
The Major was killed in a charge he
made, at the head Of his men, when he
found his command was being led into
ambush. These red devils ought to be
used as the British used the butcheI eIs of
the English soldiers In India.

here with his handsome Long Island
Chief colt and this morning put it around
the race Course at a promising gait.
There was good bit of political talk
yesterday afternoon about the Attorney
Generalslip.
Some of Middletowu's prettiest ladies
take an interested and active part in The
exhibition. An It is, tue tuir are great
help to the FAR.
Only few Dover people were present
yesterday, and the attendance was not
near SO large from that place, AS 1t was
Al the Dover fair from M M.ddletown.
The committees on awards are quite
prompt but the reports will not be made
