was appointed to draw up suitable rules to govern
such an organization. The companies assembled
Yesterday at the rooms Of the New York Board Of
Underwriters No. 1856 Broadway. to hear this report
The committee presented agreement tor the
formation Of the association, the basis OF
which is contained in the first section, which
says:-"The companies shall, in all Pohcies

STAGE FARE REDUCED.

Tho fare on all the stage routes in this city yes
terday rsducod to five cents. When stage lines were
started many years ago the fare was six cents, but
duriug the Dc Rod OF imitation that accompanied and
i'm rediately followed times the fare was raised
to ton cents. This change occurred In 1854.
A few months ago the preliminary steps
to the present reduction taken by allowing pas
senaors to purchase seventeen tickets for dollar.
The reduction in the price of labor. OF horses OF
feed and Of all kinds Of materials has enabled the
three companies who control these lines to make
the reduction without any great loss. II is thought
that an Increased number OF passengers will more
than compensate for the reduction. The "L'' road
competition the officers say had nothing 70 do with
the reduction.
All the stages yesterday bore flaming patriotic in
scriptons in red white and blue. Stating that The
fare was five cents. These inscriptions were pasted
on the windows OF the stages which were much
more crowded than usual They served to take on
tho suplus passengers from tho ovcrcrowdod

In the HERALD of the 18th inst. notice . request

With your permission I will advance my views on
this subject, noting first the symptoms OF the two
diseases. and second the treatment that experience
has proved to be OF great value. Scarlet fever
is epidemic in character. The period of invasion
is about forty-eight hours. but in exceptional
cases it may show itself In . much shorter
time. few hours only being necessary to
develop the constitutional disturbances. The child
about to be attacked with this disease will complain
OF general lassitude, nausea and vomiting. Distinct
rigors, followed quickly by fever, which presence
can readily be detected by the mother If che will
note the accelerated condition OF the pulse ts pulsa

comes involved. These the symptoms OF mild

much more serious complications. For instance,
