Mr. Peter Campbell said that Con- ress in the recent act had continued the com- mission, and there was no alternative for them under the acts of the Legislature but to con- struct the market buildings under the contracts with the least nossible delay, in order that the citizens might be furnished with proper market accommodations, the dealers with ample facili- ties for disposing of their stock and the eity re- ceive a large revenue therefrom. The cause of the delay in construc’ ng the buildings was the failure to negotiate the bonds authorized for tts construction. He suggested that a committee be appointed to confer with the, Commissioners in order that the bonds authorized and executed for its constraction might be negotiated at once, either to the contractor or other parties, as should be found to be most advantageous. Mr. Brewer moved that a committee of three, in- cluding the chairman (Mr. Campbell) be ap- pointed to confer with the Commissioners on the subject. Adopte: ol Messrs. S. R. Bond (the secretary) and Mr. ©. J. Erewer, were ap- pointed. — Gian Tue Hover Canrenters—Wi'hdrawal from the Central Com —The Washington branch of Amalgamated House Carpenters and Joiners last night received the report of the auditor, showing receipts for quarter, $30 42; receipts during the year, $506.60; balance In hand last yearly report, $421.52; expenditures for quarter, $171.44; expenditures for the year. $575.10: Present balance, £350.02; in bank, # amount of arrears owi or $5.45 per member.

At the meeting of the First Co itive Balding last night, at mac Hail, South W: A reporter of Tae Star interviewed Dr. Cox, of the Board of Heaith, this morning upon the prevailing topic of hydrophobla, wita the ful- lowing results: Reporter.—is there not, Doctor, mach that is pecul im regard to the true history, natare and treatment of hydrophehia? Dr. Cox.—ti ia certainly one of the most re- tmarkable, least understood and most intractable of human maladies. Age, sex, temperament, condition of life, habit of body afford no e¢: emption from its ravages. The disease is alike common to ali localities, climates aud seasons. It Is asserted, however, that canine madness is unknown in Syria and E; that uo allosion whatever, is fection in the Bible, although di earliest ages have been very abundant in ern countries. It is singular that while Hip- pocrates does not refer to hycrophobia, except asa symptom of other disorders, his contem- porary, Democritus. nizes it as @ distinct affection, generated by the bite of a rabid an- imal. A hundred years later, Aristotle, al- though admitting madness to be communicated from ene animal to another, utterly denies its existence inthe humansubject. Andreas, how- ever, who tlourisned two centuries before Christ, and A pollodoras, at a later period, wrote of the disease as communicabie to man. A half a century after Ascleptades treated hydropho- | bisa quite at length, reterring its seat to the mom- branes of the brain, Aurelianas to the wsoplia- gus, and Artorius, the friend and physician of Augustus, to the stomach, which theory had Leen previously promulgated by Artemidoras. The ancient Greeks characterized canine mad- ness by the expression Lussa or Lutta, and the worksof Homer and other writers of ‘that pe- riod abound in allusions to this disorder. From this word comes Lyssophobia, lately revived in New York to represent the dread of madness 88 contradistinguished from hydcophobia, the disease itself. Reperter.—Do you believe in this malady b2- ing iaced, as in the Entwisie case, by fear alone Doctor C.—I do not. Fear and imagination ©, Of course, powerful predisposing cauzes of wd May contribute to develop. t of a train of symptoms simulating hydro- phobia, but can never preduce the genuine af- tection. Reporter.—What de hae think of the cases re- ported in New York, and the conclusions reached by medical men and scientists in re- gard to the nature of the disease’ Doctor C.—While commending and appreciat- ing the zealous labors of Dr. Hammond and his coadjutors, 1 do not place as exalted an esti- mate as do others upon the results of the inves tigation. In the first place, I bi never be- ieved, and do not now believe, that McCor- mick died of bydrophobia. He had the locked- Jaw, tonic spasms of the muscles affecting the throat, spine, thorax, diapbragm, and limbs, with strongly marked opisthotonos, characte: istic of tetanus. At least theve wi incladed im the description I saw. Now, such morbid conditions are the hy Laces of those which dis- Unguish a case of hydrophobia,in which the spasms are clonic (of short duration), followed by complete relaxation. Thirst, guttural ob- struction, mental aberration, &c., common to bydrophobia, are not present in tetanus. The diseases are, in fact, entirely distinct, and can- not be confounded’ by any careful diagnosti- cian. The result corroborates my conclusion, tor the dog that bit McCormick has beep proved to be still alive, in good health, and unaffected by a solitary trace of rabies! ‘Reporter—But does not Dr. Hammond, with a knowledge of this fact, still insist that Mc- Cormick died of hydrophobia? Dector C.—1 have seen it stated that it is not essential to the development of hydrophobia that the dog biting the victim should be mad, a theory unsustained by facts, wholly untena- ble, and dangerous, leading, as it does, to care- lessnees or neglect In the adoption of the pre- yentive measures of excision and cauteriza- tion. Reporter —What is your opinion of the new views announced by Dr. Hammond and his col- leagaes, based upon the examination of Mc- Cormick’s body? Decter C.—They do not impress me as a very startling advance beyond what is already known. Autopsies of hydrophobic subjects bave been not unfrequent, but these have thus far failed to reveal any distinct morbid lesion. Evidences of brain and meningeal congestion have been apparent, as in asphyxia and kindred maladies, but no abnormal changes were diz coverable. This remark applies as well to the medulla obiongata, spinal cord, and its mem- branes. Dr. Hammond's autopsy revealed spots mdicating blocd extravasation in the medulla, especially marked at the origin of the spinal accessory nerves. It is no new theory that, af- ter the period of topical incubation, the bydro- phobic poison seems to be expended upon the medulla oblongataand the eighth pair of nerves. Dr. Canningham, of the British army, in his published autopsies, mentions similar appear- ances of the medulla oblongata and spinal cord. A red spot was discovered in the Pons Varolii, and on the inferior surface of the medulla ob- longata were found evidences of congestion, and of thickening, and membranous adhesion, but neither in the substance of the medulla nor of the nerves were traceable any abnormal changes whatever. Keporter.—Do you therefore conclude that no mort id change exists in these parts? Doctor C.—Certainly not. Leading patholo- gists have long believed in the existence of Some lesion of the medulla, particularly at the point of origin with the 7th, 8th and 9th pair of nerves, but thus far it has eluded our means of detection. While not able to discover any nov- elty or remarkable progress in the late investi- gatione, I will not disguise my pleasure at the earnest zeal exhibited by the gentlemen en- gaged in them. In the hands of so eminent and inquiring pathologist as Dr. Hammond the microscope and specific gravity test will yet be made to contribute valuable results to science, and possibly tothe treatment of this hitherto unmanageable disease. Dr. Copeland, with whem Dr. Hammond coincides, believes the disease to be purely nervous, and not the result of capillary or venous absorption, and that the morbid changes, if any, will be for in the central nervous structures alluded to. Keporter.—Are you in favor of taking meas- ures to prevent hn or er after exposure to the bite of a rabid animal? Doctor C.—Most unquestionably. I have treated in former @ number of rsops bitten by mi or: and have no Rouve prevented hydro; in not a few instances by = free excision and cauterization of the wounded parts. As a caustic, after excision, I prefer the hydrate of potassa, succeeded by poultices to promote abundant suppuration. Some use nitric acid, and 1 others (as Youatt) nitrate of silver. The kind of caustic 1s not so important as the promptness of its application. Reporter. Have you seen any account of the Proceedings of the Neurological Society last — tm New York, and what do you think of em 2 Doctor C.—From the meagre reports I have seen of the discursions, do not seem to me to be very remarkable. ‘he suggestions of excision and cauterization of the injured parts, electro-galvanism and bypodermic injections of morphia. as Propbylactios, are not new. | The roposition to blunt the incisor teeth of all dogs certainly novel, —_ 7 —— oo roceeding, promises no important resul 8 Soe te © cheniverous animal, and the incisors are essential to the prehension and Ea, tohabesy tion of its food.

We were in a few days treated with a notice to va- este on the 50th of June. So much forour exodus without a moment's notice. Mr. S. says first, ‘‘we demand a palpable vio- lation of their charter, which compels them to resell their stalls.” If Mr. Smith was present at onr conference with the company, and L pra- me he was, he must remember that I put this guestion squarely to Mr. Ghaxdler, viz: That ir the company choose to renew our lease tor the ext three years at the rentals, would Congress abrogate their charter and compel them tv sell. He answered squarely, ‘they (Congress) would not.” I then replied that it was optional with the company, that I did not deny the right, but Idenied the necessity. Yet Mr. 8. asserts, in the face of their legal adviser’s assertion, that they are compelled to sell. ndly. Mr. S. asserts, in the face of facts, that we “tied up the sale with an injanction,” when he knows the injunction only restrained the sale of the section oceupied by Mr. Hoff- man; that they did proceed to seil, and did sell, nearly all the miscellaneous stands, three- fourths or four-fifths of the batter stand: vt one section of the butchers’ stands, and w: have sold the balance had the butchers hs been willing to enslave themselves for the next taree years. On the morning of the 30th ultimo were served, under cover of a seal, auother peremptory order to vacate their property, or e subject toa suit for trespass and damages and summary ejectment at any moment. So much for our responsibility for depriving the people of their regular supplies. However, he assures the people the market “shall be maintained by the best butchers in the world;” but if Saturday's occupants are a fair sample, the Lord preserve the people from tae balance! In leaving the market, we did so at the sacrifice of dollars and cents, (though some assert it was done for the purpose of breaking down the market company,) but we preferred to do as we did to sacridving our selt- respect and good opinion of our pacrons. this statement of subject.

This assarance is based on the fact that some of the best of the old butchers are back in their stalls with an abundant supply of the best meats, and other good butchers are occupying stalls satticient to accommodate the public as heretofore.

One of the most extraordinary phenomena ever witnessed in this country took place on the ith of July in Bergen county, N. Aboat a quarter of 6 p. m., in the village of Westwood, during the celebration of the day, a sudden darkness came over the village, and before tue alarmed inhabitants could seek shelter a vio- lent storm of hailstones descended upon heads of the crowd. Hailstones two inches «: @ half in diameter, and as hard and heavy cobble stones, came down in a furious siow: Rens and chickens were killed in large - bers, and cows and horses were stunned ‘The -frightened popntation ran in every direction, seeking suelter in sheds and beneath trees, and in every available spot. For- tunately the majority escaped without injury. A young lady named Miss Bogart was, however, struck on the hand by one of the hailstones, and her wrist and arm were Lae “rg lacerated. At the Ridgewood house, In the village, an enormous amount of damage was dove. Not a single pane of glass was left whole in the build. ing, and, incredible as it may appear, the haitstones actually broke through the ‘slate roof, as if they had been cannon balls. The storm covered an area of about twenty-five miles, stretching from Spring valley to Kinder Kaimack. ‘The storm prevailed at its utmost at the stations of Pascack and Ridge- wood, which are on the Hackensack branch of the Erie railroad, and the depots were completely riddied, as bovin, o & battle had been fought in the neighborhood. As late as 6 o'clock yesterday morning hailstones were ced up at the station the size of walnuts. ‘hrough the section of the country where the storm raged @ most desolation can be witnessed.

This farm is directiv south of the Divner and about two miles from the Avery well, which has hitherto been considered as defining the limits of the belt in this direction. This well, there- fore, refutes ail preconceived ic regarding the existence of two belts, changes to a great dezree the value of territory, and opens apa large area of heretofore entirely undevelopel land.
