ABSTRACTS WHICH THE COUNTY MARES OUT OF THRE DUAI- NESS. The question of the county ru'mlng an Ab- stract department of its own having been ofton ngltated and often dropped, eame up atain in February, 1675, on n resolution that the Rovord- erkeep tract indlees, beginning with the date of the flre, Soon after several experts gave thelr opinfon through the columns of Tnr TRinuNe that the county would have facllitics ahend of the ordinary offices it it cngaged in the abstract busincss, and that generally tho scheme was a good one. April 5 the Publle Reeords Committes of the County Board reported that {t was entirely practicable for the county to Keep a complote sct of abstract books, und that the business would bo sufliciently remuncrative to pay the additlonat expense, and at the same time save & largeamount of monoy to the public. This report, which was signed by Messra, (fuenther, Catroll, and Holden, was adopted. The Board then proceeded to advertlss for bide, but the only unc recelved up to the end of June was that of Ellas 8lipman & Co., who offercd to supply the nccessary books for $65,000. 1t was almoat generally coiiceded that this sum waa lnrgely In excess of the value of the books, and au impression obtained that some influential politiclan, who saw money in the thing, was using Messrs. Shipman & "Co. os middlemen. Tha inatter was again before the County Boari, July 8, when the Commlttee on Public "Recards reported thot 800 or more tract-books were needed, from thirty to fifty court dockets, besldes tax-galos, records, and u- dices for miscellnncous mutter, and that 1t would bo fpracticable to have the work done in thu Recorder’s office. The report ncidentat- 1y mentioned the bil of Shipman_ & Co., and atated that Otto Peltzer had offered to sell », .6t of books for §45,000. This report led to con- sitlerable debate, the tmtter being ultimately recommitted, At the Board meetlng, Aug. 10, Comumissioner Ifolden called for thy Teading of the reports un the question, but 1.4 subject was again roslpouud. On the 10t% of August n propusition from John B, Ad.ms to furntsh all necessary hooks for $2,0% w0 50,000 was pre- sented 1o the llonnlt and an atteinpt made by Alr. Buaee to Indefin‘ely postpous the question was defeated by, a vote of & yean to 8 nays. Durfug the discussion that followed, two other bids were brought up,—those of Rhodes & Cu., £37,600, and Haddock, Cox & Co., 854,000, was dechded at this meeting to 5 PURCHABE PELTZEN'S TOOKS, J 1hose bouks belonged to the firm of Willmanns & Thicleke, and fucluded the records of _trane- fers, court proceedings since October, 1871, and soma seattering scraps of ante-flre matter. A slight break In the run of things ovcurred right ero In tho shape of o claiin to one-hall Intorcst fnthe books ou behalf of tho helrs of Fraucis Pasdeloup. The basis of the_ clalm was that Pasdeloup was a partner of Willinunng', and hnd not recelved his proper dividend on dissolyv- ing. The next mnove was made by Commissioner Clough, who introduced a resolution to atop tho purchnsze on account of the great expense in- yulved, ete. This motfon wus lald on the table, Sept, 3a TRisuNE reporter {nterviewed a num- ber oxperts, among_whom were Balrd & Bradley, John C. “Haolnes, aund H. C. Morey, who were almost unanimous that the abstracts obtalned . in 'the Recarder’s offie would prove valucless, nnd that no benellt would accrue to the publie through the county engasing in the business, Bome of those gentlemen cutertained strong suspicions that the whole matter had heen gots ten up for nsteal. Some thine after this (Sept, 31) the County Board ordered the payment of the monoy to Poltzer on account of "tho books; and on the following day the Citizens® Associn- tion ohtained an fnjunction from Judgu Far- well, their bill alleging nmong other things that the countyhad noauthorlty to buy the Looks, thut they were very Imperfect, and that the price was extrav: ¥-m. The urguinonts on the motiou o dissolve the_injunction were heard Bept. 10 and 20, when Judigo Farwell tovk the matter under wdvisement. Nov, 4, the Judge rendered his decision, declining to luterfere, on the ground that no gross fraud had beenshown.

LECTURK ON PUYSIOLOUY AND PATIIOLOOY, Tho first of aserles of three lectures on the “ Physlology und Patholugy of the Bratn® was dellvered to o clarge sudience, vomposed mulnly of the medical fratornlty, at the Academy of Sclences last cvenlng, by Dr. 2y(vnu Dupuy, of the Unirersiry of Paris, Dr. Dupny was formerly nssistant to_Prof. Brown- Sfruard, at the Paris Fasuity of Medlelne, 16 o torresponrding membier of tho Parls 8nciete do Biolugle, a nember of the Amerlean Neurolog- fenl Asaoclation, amd Iate Professor of Physi- olory fi London. THis famo as o ‘student” of medlenl sclence was sufllefent to attract an audience which was far too Iarge for the lecture- Toom at tho academy, and the result was that not unly did a large part of those who camo atand wp in the room and corrldora to hear the lecture, but a large number wero obliged to leave from simple fuabllity to get anywhere near the speaker. Dr. Dupuy is o Frenchman, tall, apare, and dark-compléxtoned. Tn apeaking e hecomes very tutich engrosseit in his topic, so much so {n fact a6 to be unconsclous of “the mattor of accent; it this, fatend of detracting from the atten~ tlon pald him, rather increases it, and fnpresses the audience with the lecturer's thurough carnestness, The lecture lnat evening was sim‘!fly Introdue- tary tothe tivo remainiug lectures tobe given at at Ruah Medical Collere. The Ductor des.vibed at somg lenuth the three methoda by which the bralu has been investigated—the Anatomical, Phyalologieal, aud Pathologieal, o then went o 'to state that the views Tield thus far to the cffect that disease of one-half of the brain rrmluml paraiyals on the vpposite side of the hdy was beginning to be differently understooid, He referred to the views of Hitzle “aml Ferrier, to the effect that there wers apots on tho sur- face, or cortex, of the braln which form centres from which the museles were mado to act, and anid that although this was a recent doctrine nnd one which foitad general aceeptance among medieal men, yet there \wasgood reason to think that 1t must be modtiied, In the next two lee- tures the Doctor will endeavor to show his rea- fons for upseiting this_ doctrine, as well ns to announce the theory which hie sipposes will b able to repluco It.

There {s much danger that the Insurance Patrol, which has under the direction of Capt Bullwinkle done auch good servico nt fires since the great contlagration of 1871, will bo discan- tinued by tho 15t of next January, At the Inst meeting of the Board of Undersriters the fol- lowing resolution was passed: Resolred, That tho Kire-Patrol Committee he ond hereby are tustricted to take the tax-quostion into Immcdiste considerationand report at their convenienceas to the feasibllity of discontinuing the Firo Patrol on and after Jan, 1, 1877, 1t will be remembered that according to the City Charter those fnsurance compnnlos dolne busluess In this city which are not local fnatitu- tions are required to pay a special tax of 2 per cent. Much opposition to its payment {8 manl- fested by most of the companies do- ing buslness, who declare it to be a most unjust and onerous burden, and caleniated to give a great advantage to the loeal companies which are exeuipt trom it. In order to get cven with the clt{)lor the exaction of this tax, {4 18 proposed to abolish the Insurance Pa- trof. Tho Underwritera ere clafim that, the Pa- trol, which has been gotten up und iain- talned “ by thom, vosts them annually the sum” of $80,000, not speaking of thie original cost of the apparntus, wigons, Torscs, bufldings, cte. curred by them to liclp the Fire Departmcat of tho city In the extinguishing of fires, and it the patrol were withdrawn the cu,¥ weald be com- pelled to substitute somntblig to take its ploce and the Underwritera would save thelr money, which could beused towards thapayment of the onerous tax, They also state thut the ordinary State, county, and city taxes, which are exacted from them fn addition to the 2 per cent tax ,were m%-]nm- than those exacted byany other eity In the Unlon, The people were ¢lam- oringe for n reduction of insurance rates, but how they <ould do it under the present cfreum- stances “was more than they could seo. 'To avold the necessity of udvancing the rates they lave to reduce thefr expenses, und were com- pelled to abulish the Fire-Patrol, though it hud ond was stlll dofng such good service fu the in- tereat of tho city, THE NATIONAL DOARD " of Underwriters holds anothor mecting in New York to-duy tu see whether some arrangement vaunot be made which will do away with the ne- cessity of discontmuing it It Is the opinion of tho leauling Insurance men here that th present diflienities” witl be bridged over, and that the Buard will not go vut of exlstence, but that It will be reorzanized on u better and firmer basis than ever before.
