GRATING TEETH.-Two French den
lists, MN. David and Magitot. have re-
ported to the Academy some hopeful re-
suits in the practice of dental grating.
Two principal forms of such grating are
distinguished, the graft by restitution and
the graft by borrowing. In the former a
tooth is re-implanted, after having been
extracted with view to certain opera
lions which would be impracticable in the
month. M. David has adopted this meth
cd for rectifying the direction of teeth,
for treatment OF carries in the extracted
tooth and periostitis, and for stopping,
also for facilitating operations on another
tooth. or in another part Of the mouth.
The consolidation Of the tooth restored to
it's socket occurs generally on the tenth or
twelfth day. In cases of periostitis the
process is somewhat slow. In the graft
by borrowing, sound tooth may be SUBJ
stitnted for a decayed ole. AS regards
RECONSIDERATION from the lower animals,
of course no geological species has hitter
to furnished teeth similar to ours in form
DIMENSIONS, color, DC. Still, sound ROOTS
from lower aniHlal may be substituted
for bad ones, and may serve as solid base
for nivoted artificial teeth. The trans

Or wnuld generally involve Objectionable |

lied for the graft when their extraction

was made yesterday at the citizens meet
ing, as anOfset to the colored folks me-
mortal, which appeared the day before.
The preamble notes that the colored race
seem to reject the plans offered for the
common welfare, and propose to appeal
to the property owners and the public at
large to sustain them. They therefore
resolved that the inalienable right of
thinking and acting under the laws of the
land for their own good is conceded that
the committee are sincerely seeking the
good Of all our people-present, absent,
colored and white; that camps are APP
proved as the best means Of checking the
fever by the officers Of the State, the
United States and the National board of
health that camps are the only means of
guarding against idlers who may seek to
draw r%ationsj the men here are too few to
guard so wide an area as that covered by
the city, and people coming into the in
lection are likely to carry seeds of disease
elsewhere; that they have made no dis
elimination against colored men. The
regular police force are one-third Of that
race the day police detailed from volur-
teer companies are all colored the militia
here are all colored; two of the commit
tee, Captains Glass and Brown, are col
ored, and the committee on charity make
no distinction in giving to the sick, col
ored and white alike that in going before
the public the colored people assume a
grave responsibility in keeping human
life exposed for many months to great
peril much charity will be wasted on
idlers who sneak in from adjacent points,
and if many now engaged in relieving
want and suffering abandon their arduous
work and leave a misguided people to
their fate they must not be surprised
that they seek TO utter no harsh or angry
word agalrst a people misled by ambi-
tious and uniformed leaders, who seem
to prefer their own imagined eXaltation
or profit to the best interests of their fell
low-men.

Death Of Miss Athy.

her last shortly after G o'clock this morn.
ing, at Raleigh, where she has been i'll Of
yellow fever ever since the evening Of
Monday. A faint hope prevailed yester.
day that she might survive, when it was
known that after suffering with the black
vomit for twenty-four hours, this deadly
feature Of the yellow malady had been
checked near midnight on Thursday.
The insidlous disease had however done
its work of prostratlon so thoroughly that
the weakened frame of the brilliant and
promising young lady was rendered too
feeble to rally, and her spirit passed
from earth quietly as the sun
ose to-day. Tho stricken family
have the heartfelt sympathios Of the
entire community in their great be-
reaycment. The funeral is to take place
from the family residence this afternoon
between 2 aud . o'clock. " was stated
this morning that Mrs. p. r. Ably eKhibr
tied signs Improvement and strong hopes
prevail that she will ultimately recover,
unless the shock caused by her cstmable
daughters demise Is too severe for her
to bear. Truly may il be said that in the
midst Of life we are IN death, for II was
only on Saturday evening last that Miss
Athy, in all the JOY of her youth and
Yigor, went out with a party of friends to
angle for fish in tho ponds, a short dis
lance this side Of Raleigh. Those who
saw her then little thought that in loss
than a week the bright-hccd girl would
b. cold in death.
