The London, Eng, Medical Journal is su-
thority for the following singular in :ident of
the diphtheria being carried by turkey
A fowl with diphtheria was brought to the
house of a veterinary surgeon on April "a
and died on the 29th. The feeding and nurs-
ing of the bird devolved upon lad aged four
teen, who was assisted by his brother, aged
i've. ON the evening of May IL the writer
was called to see the little boy of five, who
had been poorly for a day or tive. He had
enlarged cervical glands on the left side,
which had come on rapidly. He was deli
cate little fellow with fair hair and ansmic
aspect. The fauces were more or less COW
cred with diphtheretic membrane, the left
tonsil more especially. Under the admins
tration of biniodide of mercury and iron, the
throat symptoms cleared up and the child
made good recovery. On the day after
this case was first seen the boy who fed the
fowl was very feverish and had similar patch
es over his fauees, but not to the same ex
tent as his brother. A sister aged nine, had
also similar explosion on the fauces. On
the 18th the mother, who nursed them. was
attacked and was similarly treated. They
were all kept we'll up with beef tea and slim

I In the afternoon Hon. NJ. n. Mckusick of
Calais appeared With petition for the par
don Of Henry d, Mclaughlin of that city
whose sentence Tor adultury expires in the
spring of 1853. The grounds for pardon are
the poor health of the prisoner, and the ex-
treme improbsbility OF his ever having CON-
mitted the crime CT which he va, convicted.
The motion was lail OF the table.
Hon. J. j. Perry of Portland presented
a petition Ter the pardon of Geo. Knight of
POLAND, sentenced for the murder of bis
wife. The grounds Tor pardon y ere the doub,
concerning the prisoners guilt, shown by
the long time which the juIy took before
rendering verdict; the fact that a, the time
knight WAS convicted the Law allowing pris-
oEers 10 testify in their own behalf had not
been passed; letter from Thos. j. Howard,
foreman of the jury which convicted knight,
saying that at tn time he was tried there
were certainly grre doubts concerning
his guilt. The evidence was purely circum-
stsntial and partially inconsistent. A letter
from Judge Walton of the supreme judicial
court stating that there were two sides to
Knights case and that there was scarcely
sufficient evidence to convict him, was read
Letters frs m WArdens Bean and Rice rels-
tive to Knights good conduct in prison dur
his thirty one years of confinement, were
also read. AT the trial no motive was ad-
dueed for Knights crime nor no evidence

closed his argument with an eloquent appeal
to the sympathes of the councillors. A stem
ographic report of the evidence in the case
was left with the council, who Immediately
went into executive session. 1t is probable
that no decision will be reached 10 either Of

days, as there is a vast amount of documen-
tary evidence TO be examined.
