To guard this city against a pesti- lential invasion is of the first importance, for this city is a sort of key to the outside world. Pestilence or cholera is famous for travellin in broad hi hways. and if you have cho era it will be impossible to hedge it in this city alone. for it will travel alon the states. find its way to New Jersey an the New England States. and thus dissemi- nate itself over every art of the Union. The number of deaths n 1832 from cholera was about twenty thousand ; in 1849 the number was about fourteen thousand. Prevention is better than cure. osuse for pestilence.

We have jonly from now to then to get this city cleanedâ€"that is. we have only one month. If the heated weather were to come there never were so many factors for producing disease, at one time. than there are now. We want, then. a power to act at once. We have already indications of pestilence. The severe winter has enervated us. for we always find after a severe winter that we have a great deal of sickness. It is because the nervous system is so enervated by the reesure of winter that the conditions are‘ ound favorable to an outbreak o! pesti~ lenoe, if there is accompanied therewith a cause for pestilence.

It was fur- ther shown that Freeman always went armed with a knife and revolver.

The latter stooped and kissed him farewell. Then he returned to the house and sat down quietly in a chair. In the course of a few moments the mother despatched one of the children to the spring for water, and as he did not bring enonfihcshe went herself. While on her way it from the spring she heard the report of a gun, and running to the house she asked one of the boys where his father was. The boy pointed to a bed-room and said that he had gone in there and had told one of them to close the door and not to come in. The poor wife instantly passed into the apartment and was horrified to find her husband lying upon the floor cov- ered with blood. The top of his head was blown off. and brains and pieces of his skull were scattered on the walls and ceil- ings. Neighbors were at once summoned and a Jury made up. Upon the examination facts were elicited which roved that the suicide. if not a murderer. ad some guilty thing weighing upon his conscience.

His wife re lied. I‘Why. Jack. what is the matter wi you? Are you crazy ? " He answered. “ Well. if I don't shoot myself they will arrest me and hang me." He went in search of his gun. which he found and with it walked into his bed-room. It was an old army musket. and he proceeded to load it with powder and shot. He then sat down and nned the following lines upon a piece 0 paper which he pinned upon his heart : “ I am not ' ty of anything. butIcan't stand it.” He en called three of his children to him and kissed each one tenderly. the tears streaming down his checks as he did so. Then he turned gently to his wife. who stood ‘by sobbing and mourning as if her heart would freak. and kissed her. To each he whispered a trembling “ good-by."

A maiden lady at that place on the 5th of January, 1869. swallowed a new set of false teeth. which became separated from the rubber mouldin which they had been set, while masticating her food. Before she could eject the food from her mouth the teeth had gone down into her stomach. The family physicianwassummoned. but all his efl'orts were unavailing. The teeth caused her no discomfort, and in a short time the matter was entirely forgotten. A few days ago Miss Cole. the lady in question, felt a sharp pain near her left shoulder. and upon examining the s t found what ap- peared like a wen un er the skin. With the aid of a nknife she extracted a hard substance. w ich proved to be a tooth. She was at a loss to know how the tooth came to be in such an unusual spot till she sud~ denly recollected that she had.twelve years ago, swallowed her set of teeth. During the past four days the ladyhas been cutting teeth all over her body and had. at last accounts. recovered twelve of the fourteen teeth that had formerly constituted her full set.
