Your Roxbury correspondent asks how pneumonia first manifests itself So far as my observation goes, the patient always feels that he has taken a severe cold; nd, in most instances, upon reviewing his past condition, remembers that he has felt rather unweIl for some time previous to that. In my opinion, that is the time to head off the malady Dr. Fowler used to say that one would not take cold if the stomach was in good condition, and, taught by him, whenever any under my care was troubled with cold, have insisted on abstinence from any food not very easily di- gestible, have administered slightly cathartic medicine, and in most cases few Tally's Powders.

 Nearly every dwelling is perfumed with it's fragrance, but we doubt its power to ward off disease. PNEUMoNIA.-Each season has it's own dis ease. which bears it's fruit, every hour Pneu- monia is emphatically the disease of the season, but in so many different forms that it baf1es the skill of most of the Physicians In some n- stances it is malignant and in others it assumes a typhoid form Of the latter, Curtiss Titus is an example who is at present very low, and doubts hay been entertained of his recovery SETTLED AT LAsT.-The roads, and most of the inhabitants are settled for the present. MT. Foulois has moved into his new building. Dwight Seeley occupies his room in Lyman | Clark's house. Mr. Seeley has a branch of his business carried on by Joe Booth at Mir. Hurlbuts shop near the Center, and Earle Ab- bot has erected shop south of the depot, and solicits custom. Mir. Abbot resides in the rooms vacated by H. Logan near Baker and Brinsmade's.
