to the contagion and transmission OF yel-
low-fever, reached this country just as DR..
John c. Peters was making it clear to the
New York County Medical Society that
scarlet-fever originates with horses. On
Monday last, after having satisfied himself
by careful experiments, Dr. Peters delv-
cred lecture before the Columbia Veteri-

advanced arguments in its favor which
cannot fail TO have great weight, as well
with the man of science as with persons
who possess no special knowledge of the
character and origin of the many diseases
that affect humanity. DIR. Peters enter
tains the belief that after a time the theory
advanced will be generally accepted, and
that incubation will he resorted to as a
preventive measure just as in the case of
smallpox, and as DIR. Friere proposes in

A Heavy Weight Emtxrnpt.

New YORK, July 31.-Among the 500 i'm
migrants who arrived AT this port to-day on
the steamer Westphalia, from Hamburg, and
wore landed at Castle Garden, was Cart
Theiler, ajolly Teuton, whose avoirdupois was
estimated at about four hundred pounds.
He said he had not been weighed in several
years, rs ''it made him feel bad to know Just
how heavy h o was" Several of the Castle
Garden employees tried to induce him to step
on tho scales that are used for weighing
trunks and packages in the baggage room,
but he good naturedly declined the
invitation. When Mr.. Theiler walked
in the narrow passageway that is ra,led
off in front of the desk where the
names of immigrants are registered he had
hard work to squeeze through. When asked
how he intended to earn a living here, Mr..
Theiler said that he worked at the shoema-
ker's trade in Germany and he intended to
follow the same business in Philadelphia,
whore he will reside. He claims that he is
one of the largest passengers who ever came
across the ocean on a single ticket.
