MUNICH. Nov. l4.-Prof Pettinkofer
and Prof Emmefich. who have been con-
Quoting a series of experiments with
cholera baccilli, say that, as far as they

CoALBURG, 4 village in Georgia. was
visited by shower recently and with
the rain fell a large number of live
cells. The largest of them were foot

few inches long. They were sc
plentiful that farmers gathered them
up, put them in carts and hauled them
off for the purpose of applying them &c

boom have added TO. Richmond's growth
has been especially remarkable, and It has
been a healthy one. The city itself had
