A CURIOUS CAsE.-S)me months ago. says
the Rutland Herald, patient was brough
from the Northern part Of this State. to
consult DR.. Goldsmith on account of a rare
and curious affection. The patient CON-
planned that whenever she became warm,
and especially when she began to persp ire
she would have a smart itching at many
points IN her skin, and at these points a
minute black speck would appear, and
soon after. a small insect. looking like a
Lilliputian louise would make its escape
upon the skin. and could be seen running
over its surface with great agility. DR..
Goldsmith examined the case carefully, and
found that the insect infested the sweat
pores and escaped as related. Several spec
linens were collected and sent to the
distinguished naturalist, DR.. LeConte. of
Philadelphia, The dermanyssus avium

who handle fowls. but no case has been
known heretofore in which this insect bur
rowed in the skin and lived and bred in the
sweat ducts. The case il unique, we are
told, not in that this insect was found on
this wonhn's person, for that occurs every
now and then, but in this, that the insect
like the Itch nIte, penetrated the skin,
there to deposit Its eggs, to hatch and grow
to maturlty-and when mature to leave its
nest only when urged by the accommodating
sweat, to make its escape or drown. Prof
LeConte in his reply said the insect was the
dermanyssus avium, which iniects fowl
houses, dove cots and aviaries, and has not
uniroquently been found on human beings.

Ga=etfe contains review Of train accidents
in 1873. The report includes all that have
caused any damage of importance. The
number of accidents in any year is very

Winter of that year, while much rain and
sudden djods also generally result in many
more. Aside from these, there are other
causes that do not need mentioning. The
addition of new roads adds to the chances
of misfortune, but have little effect in the
aggregate, and the substitution of steel for
iron in rails acts very bcnefcially The

CRIME IN BURLINGTON Human A. Drew
Chief of Police, has Just submitted his an
nual report, for the year ending December
3lst, 1873. The report proves the criminal
department of the city to be in excellent
condition and makes q better showing,
generally, than for several years past.
During the year the whole number of arrests
was 430-agsinst 1863 in 1877, 6l2 in 1876
and 5i3 in 1876; falling off which is ex-
ceedingly gratifying. 0fthese arrests, $50
were for intoxication, 20 for liquor-selling,
90 for breach of the peace, SO for grand
larceny, l2 for petit larceny. s for assault
with intent to kill. 6 for robbery and like
number for burglary; while the re-
mainder were for score or more of
other crimes (none capltal), the offences
under zach ranging from one to halt a
dozen. During the year 1862 persons receiv-
ed shelter over night at the station house,
as against 1893 in 1877. 653 in 1876, and
sS4 IL 1875. The marked decrease during
the last few months tao Chief of Police
attributes largely to the tramp law passed
By the last Legislature, which be thinks
has had notable effect in diminishing the
number of the eleemosynsry pedestrians.
OF the tramps. 20s were Irish, 70 English,
40 Americans. 81 French, and the remainder
OF various nationslities. The police force
numbers IS men, IS of whom, however, are
specials; and the police expenses of the
year were s., SIS 5O-a slight increase over
1877. due to the tact that the force has
been increased. Crime. however. has been
repre>sed in more than cores
ponding ratio. ard the service has
really been cheaper. The Chief
pays a tribute to the efficiency of his force
which We think the facts justify. II is
the fashion, of course, in some quarters,
to condemn the police, but, on the whole, in
our opinion, our force is as good as can be
found anywhere, and will bear a very iav-
orable comparison with that of other
cities. Its chief Is most competent, eff
cient and experienced officer; he is con-
stantly iaboring to improve the efficiency of
his men; and both he and they are en-
titled to much credit, both in the detection
and arrest of criminals and in the preven-
ton OF intended crimes the latter, of
course, being something never known to
the public and therefore never realized by
