the Rev. Dr. j. b. Dunn.
DR. Burrel said the committee of fifty scientific
men appointed TO investigate the value Of the use

school children that is bad to drink intoxcat

thinks this should not be taught. He said this

He felt sure Congress would not restore beer to

Philadelphia Dec. 2S,-The directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will
meet in New-York tomorrow and take action
upon the resignation of President l.. f. Loree.
At the time his successor will be chosen.
1t was semi-oficially admitted at the Pennsyl-
