An apprentice to a surgeon in Dublin had
Telt unwell, and remained indvors d
the day, taking his meals, however, us
tial, He had a bad night, and complained
of headache in the mori ings and his tas
ter then remarked son spots upon his
chest. | Dr. ukes, an eminent: Dablin
physician, was inmediately sent for, and
saw tho pationt at Ll acm,” He tound him
perleetly collected, and in apparently or
alinary strength; but the left arm aud leit
breast Were vovered thickiy with large
purple patches ot the deepest: hue. Both
anedical men recognised that they were in
presence of a case which, it an attack of
typhus fever, was certainly such as neithe
et them had ever wituessed betore. When
Dr. Stokes returned two hours tater, a
great change hadtaken place. The patient
Was ds sell-possessed as before, tat the
Toft arm and breast were now comp! tely

was sitting up in bed, discu i
With his master; and as he conplained of
Seat thirst, the latter went trom the bed-
side to the window to mix a ecooline
draught, but upon turning roand aljaos:
instantly he saw, to his horroy, that col-
dapse had setin, and by 2 pan., within
twenty-four hours alter the first sien of in-
disposition, withia eight or nine hours of
thu appearance of any formidable symp-
toms, aud within haltan hour of being in
full possession of Lis faculties and of 2

considerable amount of muscular strength
tne patient Was dead. A few other cases

occurrred during the spring and euly
summer, all presenting the same general
features and all fatal; but, with the

pearance of cholerain August, this stran
al se vanished, With the appearance ot
spring, however, it reapp d, One ol

the earliest of the new cases was that of a
healthy child about five years old. Mere
the tirst symptom of illness appeared at 8.
tems; tt Lh am. a small purple eruption
appeared, generally diffuscd over the body,
ut Ll p.m, the whole body was covered with
large purple patches; coma gradually su-
peryened, and at 3 pan. death. The last
audible utterances of the child were com-
plaints of cold. Another case oecurred at
the Partobello Cavalry Barracks on the

and was occasionally incoherent. In the

appeared, Which spread rapidly both in
size and number, until the whole body be-

he was dead. Within ten minutes atter
death the superficial hue had given 1
toxrose red. In the following we
boy about nine or ten yours old was at-
tacked in the same rapid way. When
seen at 1 p.m. his body was all dotted with
purple spots; the pulse was scar per-
ceptible at the wrist, but the action of th

heart was perfect; he was is sult posses-
sion of muscular strength and mental fac
ulties, and felt so litte ill that he com-
plained of being keptin bed. At7 p.m.
he was dead. in the beginning of April
the first provincial cases were noticed,
‘Lhey were connected with the troops who
had been engaged in pursuit of the insur-
gents through the Gallee mountains, wo
or three soldiers, a married woman, and
acouple of children were attacked; the
wonkin and one of the soldivas recovered,
the others died. ‘Lhe fatal cases were re-

mirkaboe for great sulering, which no
skill seemed capsile of relieving. Indeed

the children appear to haye sereamed
themselves f death in the violence of the
pain which no efforts could mitigate. li
al these cases there were indications of
considerable inflamation of the brain and
spinalcoluimn, A special interest attaches
to these military causes, as throwing some
Jight upon the question of contagiousuess.
‘Lhe mother ot the children washed for
some of the soldiers ot the tlying column,
uinong whom we have just mentioned the
attacks ol the disease occured, and in this
way the disorder may, it is conceived,
ye been conimunieated, At this moment
#& woman is in the Meath Hospital in Dub-
Jin with her young child, both suffering
from this malady; and Dr. Stoke, who has
them personally in charge, has declared
his conviction that this is an unquestion-
able case ol contagion, It appears, then,
that a strange and terribly tatal disease
exists in Ireland, and as yet chieily in
Dublin. ‘Phe general features of the pre-
liminary st ave Lbillous vomiting and
sometimes purging, aud usually headache
ol unparatleled intensity, with incoherency.
Tien comes the purple eruption, accom-
panied, i most cases, by great debility,
und followed by collapse and death. ‘Phe
duration of tae ila is of a threefold
variety. dn the t, Where the period is
reckoned by hours, wne was fatal in
tour hours trom the oceurrence of the first
symptoms; but the ave ¢ is eighteen
hours. he second variety iae!udes from
three to six days, from the first inaceati
ol indisposition to the fatal issue
third varicty, in which alone any recoyer+
ivs haye taken place, embraces a period
extending to many days, and even weeks.
It is hardly necessary to say that in Dub-
lin great interest is telt upon tho subject
ainong the members of the medical pro-
tessiou, and considerable anxicty has been
awakened among the general public. Al-
ready the Medical Association of the city
has held two meetings, in one of whieli
detailed and authentic reports of the cases
observed were presented and read, while
the other was devoted to a discussion of
the character of the disease, it is not un-
natural that, upon the latter point, medi-
eal opinion should vedivided, Some eon-
sider it to belong to the family of blood-
gisons, of which in these countries typhus
and typhoid fevers have hitherto been the
chief specimens; and they refer as prools
to the purple eruption and the rapid de-
velopment, Others consider that it is a
new form of cerebo-spinal malady, appeal-
ing to the headache and injected character
of the spots, and to the appearances usu-
ally preseuted by the brain and spinal
column in post-mortem examinations. They
also cite, in confirmation of this view, the
morbid sensibility of the surface, the dila-
tation of the pupil and temporary loss of
vision, the twitching of the muscles and
convulsive spasms, the muscular rigidity
and curvature of the spine, which olten
accompany the disease, and the displace-
ment of the head, paralysis, and other af-
fections which frequently retard the very
few cases of recovery. Others, again,
suggest that two distinct types of disease
soit in theso cases, and by their com-
mingled symptoms give occasion to con-
fasion of diagnosis und pathology. All-
important as the decision ot these matters
“must be, the time as hardly oome when it

The New York World draws attention |
to the fact that Indian cotton is fast sup-
erseding American cotton, in consequence |
of the enormous cost of cultivating the}

whether the fine staple of American cotton
will bear the price in New York of thirt
five to forty cents, in order to. induce its!
general culture through the uplands ot the |
South, in preference to Indian cotton,
which can be produced for five orsix pence
per pound in Bombay, and probably de-
liveved in] New Yoris for twenty cent
Accounts from India state that the staple
is improving; new seed and greater cure!

On the evening of the 4th July, Finlay
MeNeill, Esq., the Consular Agent for
the United States in this town, entertain-
eda number of friends under his hospi-
table root, among whom were members
of both Houses of the Legislature, some
of the leading, merchants of the ‘Town,
and the representatives of the Press.
Phe toast8 usual on such occasions were
drunk with all the honors, and several
really good speeches were made. Every
one seemed determined to be pleased,ani
consequently every one enjoted himself.
If we are to judge by the sentiments
which we heard expressed on that even-
ing, the people of Summerside are great
adinivers, not of President Johnson only,
but also of the American people and
American institutions.

Fire.—Thirteen houses were destroy-
ed by fire in Neweastle, N. B., on the
oth inst., including the brick building of
the Ifon. Edward Williston, and the
store of Joseph Hayes. Lf we recollect
right, this same town was yisited by a
fire last summer. We have not heard
any further particulars of this sad event,

te Last week we gave the names of
the different Wesleyan Ministers appointed
for this Island by the Conference now git-
ting in Halilax. It appears that the list
has since been ‘entirely changed. The
following is a correct list:—

Charlottetown.—Wm. Pope.

Cornwall.— Mr. Winterbottom.

Murray Harbor.—Mr. W. W. Percival.

Summerside—Mr. Albert DesBrisay.

Centreville—Mr, Wedall, and a young man,
whose name we have not heard.

the **Le Moniteur Acadian,” a French paper
published in Shediac by Israel J.D. Landy.
A newspaper in the French language was

be well patronized by the Krench speaking
population.
