They seemed tobe somewhat hexagoral in form—longer one way thantle other. They did not seem to have any head, but were evidently alive, judging f-cm the way in which they moved about. ‘Their size was estimated by the doctor as varying from one hurdred-thousandth to the five-hundred- thousandth of an inch in diameter. ‘hey were Bot trich’n, as the doctor was well acquainted with that torm of parasite, and this new kind was much sira’ler, ard cf an entirely diferent abaye The patient died in a day or two after saummo:.- ing medical attendance, and five minutes atter life wes e.tinct, aud while the body was <(ill warm, the doctor made an incision in the calf of the 'eg, and. drawing the lancet, examined the moi:ture which covered it. He found three of the parasites, only one of which was alive, They were simitar, in all respects, to those found in the finid taken from the breast. No theory bas been found as to the cause of the Parasites, and the chill and knowledge of the phyricians teem to be entirely at fault.

General Walbridge bas been poten, from general debility during tue last six months, but the immediate cause of his death, a urinary abscess, made its appearance about four “rT ago, the progress of the disease was as rapid in its fatal consequences as its appearance was sudden.

Dr. Phillips told him that he thought he would be more quiet to remain upon the bed, and that he would suffer by moving. He cousented to remain quiet for a little while when he repeated his request and was accord- ingly lifted by Dr. Phillips from the bei to the lounge. Shortly alter he said to his wife, who sat near him, ‘My dear, [ am very sick.” T: doctor, who had his tinger upon the patient's pulse, said, “Yes, General, you are right.” = Ebay | quickly to the doctor he inquired, “How is my =, “Very low, General Looking the ctor in the face he said, with great emphasis, “Jiow low?” “I cannot tell nm exactly, General,” replied the doctor, firm- iy. “bet they are exceedingly low, and are grow weaker.” After resting afew moments the General calmly remarked, ‘I think I am dy- ing,” to which the doctor responde:i, ‘General, i think you are.” Turning to the doctor with a stern look, he inyuired, s/o do you know?” «By the knowledge which my experience teaches me as a physician,” promptly answered Dr. Phillips. ‘Without seeming to be influenced unpleas- antly by the solemn intelligence which his phy- sician imp: » aid: ** Bring some paper, and pen and ink.” ‘They were at once produced, and then and there he dictated to Dr. Phillips his will.

After the Signature he remembered that lic bad not named the administrators. Their names were added. As the will was about to be sealed up, he said: “Doctor, we have forgot something else—the date.” The date was added. The members of his family, who were present, were surprised at his desure to make his will: suppos- ing, in view of bis great wealth, that he had already exeented a will. He leaves a property worth about a million of dol!are, most of which falls to his wife, an estimable lady of tine ac- complish ments.

The reduction atiects laborers as well as miners, sirce the latter cannot afford to pay the same wages to their hands as under the oll seale of prices. For this state of things a strike is the only remedy that suggests itself to the excited miners—with the alternative held out of some kind of a compromise with the owners— and, thereiore, a strike}more formidable than any yetkrown in Anthracite-dom is now pre- paring. ‘Thirty thousand miners, it is said.

Mr. Drake introduced bil! to regulate rank in the navy, and for other purpose. Mr. Patterson introduced bill to amend the act in relation to colored scools in the Distric: of Columbia.

The Grand Council of St. Crispin on Saturday night ordered all their mem vers to strike, and they determined to do *0 on Monday, but the strike was delaved in con- sequence of wantof concerted action among the journeymen. it was reported yesterday that measures were in progress to setile the difticul- ty by arbitration. Several prominent manu- faciurers bave already abandoned the proposed reduction of wages and will continue work at old prices. At a meeting of the Crispins evering, itwas anounced that the employers complying with the request of the strikers had appointed a committee to meet a committee of the Crispins’ Association to discuss the qu tions in dispute and harmonize the differen A strike fe also reported in New York cit among the masons employed in the New Har- laem railroad depot, in consequence of the re- duction of the period of labor to seven hours and a half, and a reduction of wages trom $i to S3.a day.
