The New Veterinary station.

Tho experimental station of the veterinary
division of the U. S. agricultural department,
recently established near this city, is now
completed, and will be formerly opened this
week under the general supervision Of DR.. d..
l.. Salmon, one of the most skillful scientific
veterinarians known in the profession. His
abundant experience as a scientific investiga-
tor entities him to the high distinction which
he now holds before the country. The sta.
tion is located about mile from the north
eastern boundary of this city, and con-
tains about seven acres of ground, which
is splendidly adopted to the uses for
which it is designed, and improved by the
erection of buildings fitted up nicely with
stalls for the care of animals and dissecting
rooms and other conveniences required for
scientific experiments and treatment of cpl
demic diseases of domesticated animals 1t
is tho intention to first take up the treatment
of cattle diseases, commencing with pleuro-
monia and Spanish or Texas fever. Hog and
chicken cholera will also claim proper atten-
tion, as they are considered matters of essen-
tial interest and importance since they cause
an aggregate loss annually Of many millions
of dollars to breeders.
The bright hopes that were entertained a
few years ago of an extensive cattle trade
with Europe are now threatened with total
extinction through the prevalence of disease
among the herds of western cattle. The
action taken by foreign governments prohib-
itng importations Is because these diseases
exist among the cattle of the United States.
The interest involved is enormous, and the
anticipated success awaiting the results of
these experiments will be welcomed as the
harbnger of brighter day for one of tho
most important of our American interests

Mic IN Richmond who had begun to fear
tina, our public schools would be soon filled

DESTROYED. The opinion Of Judge FRENCH
which the State OF yesterday publishes in
extenso, fully sustains the decision. IL Is
long, learned. exhaustive OF the SUBJECT
and conclusive OF the question at issue.
We do not see that Judge FRENCH shirked
single point involved in the case. Every
objection to his decision was met directly
and satisfactorily explained away.
Judge FRBScH's opinion covers the en-
tire case OF the Richmond trustees. HIS
reasoning shows that there are no vacancies
in the Board OF Trustees OF the Richmond
schools, and therefore. that the Board OIL
Education at the Capitol (Messrs. CAMERON
BLAIR, and FaRn,) have no right, and nave
had none, to appoint any trustees LOT inc

opinion leaves no question involved In the
case undecided.

EATING SOAP AND BEc0hING EhACiA'HD me
pocrops DECEIVED AND A PARTON OBJ
TANNED.
An Ohio correspondent writes: A case
almost unprecedented In this State BIAS Just
occurred In the office OF Governor roster,
which Il no more or less than the revocation
OF a pardon Internationally granted by
Governor Foster on The 10Th OF October
last. The party Is Isaac Knapp, who, OF the
October term, 1877, OF the Sandusky Com
mon Pleas Court, was convicted OF murder
In the second degree, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. The pardon was
GRANTED on the certificate OF DR.. Gay. who
said the convict was suffering from tuber-
culous degeneration OF the lungs, and was
in imminent danger OF death. Warden
Thomas conceded with the views OF Dr.
Gay.
II has been recently ascertained that the
pardon was secured by fraud, and that
Knapp had been chewing soap for some
time in the prison, thus causing the frothy,
sickIy hue OF his countenance, which
might be mistaken for tuberculous degene-
ration Of the lungs. Immediately after
reaching home Knapp boosted how he
"beat the pen" rs he termed il, and in a
few DAYS he was apparently as well and
hearty as any man in Fremont. lie loved
to tell the modus operdndi OF his anti-fat
process, and diated on the way he ate the
hard soap furnished to conyicts. Since his
pardon he has been in all kinds OF trouble
at Fremont, ruIing everybody and every
thing with high hand, and it was on the
petition OF large number Of prominent
citizens OF that place that the action OF the
Governor was predicated.
But once before in the history OF Ohio
has such n course been taken. During the
administration OF Governor j. ID. Cox a
similar thing was done, and the prisoner
returned to the penitentiary. Legal adj
vice taken by Governor Foster has been TO
the effect that rs the pardon was secured
by fraud 1t is without any force or elect,
and Knapp was therefore an escaped con-
Wet. lie has been taken into custody.
