ZlMMERMAN ARRIVES
AT the Pasteur Institute in New York
Opiuion OF Physicians.

At the Pasteur Institute in New York
Opinion OF Physicians.
1t was mentioned in yesterday reg
lister that Officer Zimmerman had LETT
for New York for treatment at the
Pasteur Institute At $3.50 o'clock last
night DR.. J. A. Campbell, the physician
who had attended Zimmerman, received
a telegram from the Institution an
nouncing the fact that Zimmerman had
arrived at $50 p. m. and had delivered
the letter which DR.. Campbell had sent
with him.
DR.. Campbell had also written pre-
vious letter describing minutely the
Circumstances connected with mad-coS
scare. In the telegram he received last
night he was complimented very much
for the interest he had shown in the
matter and was requested to send on
Immediately to New York all other
persons who had been bitten by the
dog.
Despite the opinion held out by some
people to the contrary, the local phys
icians who have investigated the mat
ter. agree that the dog had the rabies,
and that the only safe plan is for the
patients TO get immediate treatment.
DR.. Campbell thinks that every per-
son who was bitten should 90 to the
Pasteur Institute, even if they have
to borrow the money to go. The cost
of the treatment is about 5000.

made the Objectionable remark. lie
acknowledged it. and the consequence
was his immediate discharge. The

say it was only a scheme to discharge
him for being the spokesman # the

We are glad to see that Mr.. H. r.
Dewitt is again before the voters of

We believe him to be the most com

have scarcely ever asked and never

They have always been Republicans
and ardent advocates of Republican

The following letter has been sent
out to teachers by Examiner Palmer:
OAKLAND, MD, July 20, 1871.
There will be but one more eXqfni-
nation this year, viz: at Accident at
the close Of the Normal.
Enough teachers will be licensed
from the three examinations to sup
ply the schools, and as there will be
no removals all persons not vet ex-
amined, who do not present them
selves at Accident, will be debarred
from teaching.
There were 100 applicants at Oak
land and Grantsville. Among this
number were only g. of last years
teachers. There are 10 teachers in the
county who have certificates good for
this year. 1876 teachsrs fill the schools
Hence if one applicant out of two is
licensed there will be no lack.
As the Oakland manuscripts at this
writing are not all graded it is impOs-
sible to give the result here, but out
of p applicants at Grantsville, under
the rule, must not fall below IS per
cent. for a $50 certificate nor below
so per cent. for a $25 one" three are
entitled to the former and ten to the
latter.
Hence this letter is sent to you to
