II may be remembered that a good deal of
prominence was given last fall in the papers
to the occurrence Of diphtheria in a family
in Amsterdam, N. Y. Two children died at
intervals Of several months, and a third was
taken sick. The board OF health appointed a
committee to investigate, which examined
the house and its surroundings, and obtained
a statement from the attending physician.
They have recently made their report,
tinding that there were no bad conditions ex-
isting in or about the house sufficient to ex-
plain the appearance OF the disease, and they
conclude hat it came from n cat which was
fundled by the child that first fell III. This
eat was found ut the time to nave u swollen
throat, and TO be suffering from a discharge
from the mouth an! ~nostrils. 1t died n few
days afterward. Three days after the death
Of the cat tho child fell sick with malignant
diphtheria ami dice in about a week. During
its illness it played with IA doll which was
afterward gwen to a younger child, as it was
supposed to haNe been properly fumigated
with sulphur fumes. This child shortly after
being allowed to play with the doll, also fell
III with diphtheria and died. The third child
also played with the doll and fell i'll, but re.
covered. The board OF health, therefore,
traces the reappearnnce Of the disease in the
family. aft"r the death Of the inst child, to

one Of the female prisoners, with
whom the candidate for holy matri-
mony is expected to keep company
for two or three days. If at the con-

clares to the governor that the lady
selected is not to his mind, he receives
twenty-five blows with a stick, and
another bride is chosen for him-and
so on. The same course is adopted
with the female prisoners who are in
search of husbands. These matches
are termed official marriages" or the

followed by any religious ceremony.
