THE IMPROVISATION OF OYsTER.EGGs.-
MesSrS. Editors of The american: The fol-
lowing extract from letter received by me
this morning from DR.. Brooks, assistant
professor in the Johns-Hopkins Univcr-
sity, who is now at Crsteld studying the
oyster-beds, may be OF interest to your
readers:
81 succeeded this morning May 20th) in
artifcially impregnating the eggs OF the
oyster. The process OF segmeEtation &C.
eup,cd fou: hours. At the end Of six hours
pre-swimming ciliacd cmbryos were pro-
duced. They are very small and hard to
draw"
This observation is OF peculiar interest,
since, in spite Of much search, naturalists
had hitherto failed to find the earliest devel-
opmcntal stage Of the oyster. Its discovery
and recognition may probably lead to i'm
portant results in connection with the arti-
fetal propagation Of the sayory mollusk and
its protection from the numerous enemies
with whom it has to contend during infancy.

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Louisville, May 21.-At the General Assem-
bly, OF the Presbyterian Church South, this
morning, reports were received from the
Judicial Committee on the complaint OF t.
w. and r. @. Garfield. A long debate en-
sued on tire majority and minority reports.
The question involved is whether man
who makes charges before the Presbytery
where dismissed has the right to appeal TO
higher ecclesiastical courts. After q spirited
debate the Assembly came to the conclusion
that an appeal would lie. evcu though the
complainant had himself suffered no injury
in character, but was attacked in another.
This brings the whole Of the Garfield mat
ter up before the Assembly.
