OF a NEW SPRCIES OF HUMAN PAkasiTS, | |

| Ekorw, Dec. 3.—There 1 considerable ex-| ‘eltement and elatm in thie city and vicinity, on eccount of the appearance of @ strange | diseage, heretofore unknown to physicians, or, at least, to the physiciansof Elgin The ‘facts are as follows :—On last Friday week, | | Mrs. C, W_ Daniels, a lady twenty-two years | of who was married two years ago, and igave birth te a child eleven months since. was prostrated by what seemed at first to be | the premonitory symptoms of typhoid fever. |She had not been very well for some time previous, but nothing serious was anticipated until Sunday, when she wag compelled to jtake to her bed and place herself under ‘medical treatment. Dr, A. S. Clark wae ‘ealled in, and, after a careful diagnosis, came to the conclusion that she was attacked with typhoid fever. Ste complained of in¥ in her bonés, and soreness in her flesh. othing very unusual, however, was observed until Sunday morning, when the milk from her breast attracted attention by its dark color. Some of it was taken in a bottle to | Dr. Clark, for bis opinion, and the bearer’ of | it said it looked like the washings of an ink | hotthe, The doctor compared it to,very dirty |Soap suds which it resembled very mush io | color. To make sure that it was not colored \by anything that was in the ‘vottle, the | doctor drew some milk from the breast of the patient himself, and foand t',at it was like that which had been showr. him. It struck | him as being very peculiar, and be could not account for it in any we.y that would be sat- | isfactory to bimeelf or to science. Submit- | ting the fluid to @ microscope examination he found not one-ten’.h as many milk globules as healthy milk should contain. In it were /animaleu!z diferent in size and shape from }any homan parasite of which the Doctor had | ever heurd, They seemed to be somewhat , hexagone’, in form—longer one way than the other. They did not seem to have any |head, but were evidently alive, judging from ithe way in which they moved aboug, Their Size was estimated by the doctor a8 varying from the one hundred thousandth to the five hundred-thourandth of an inch in diameter. The power of the microscope used varied from 150 to 800 diameters, the former power being required to make the insect visible. They were not trichinw, as the doctor was well acquainted with that forr of parasite, and this new kind was much smaller and of an entirely new shape, Authorities were searched, but none of them gave any clue by which they could be identified, a the doctor and those with whom he consulted were compelled to be- lieve that they had diecovered a new species |of human parisite, | In the meantime the patient grew worse. |She suffered terribly, sand complained of |soreness al! over her body. Nothing could | be done to relieve her, She could not bear |a bath, and could hardly bear to be touch- jed. She lingered in agony until yesterday jafternoon, at one o’clock, when gbe died. | There was some season, at first, to believe that the parasites were the product of some | disease of the breast, and were confined to that locality. The doctor determined to | test the matter, and anticipating her death, |he was prepared to do so. Five minutes after life was extinct, and while the body | Was still warm, he made an incision in the jealf of the leg, and drawing the lancet, ex- |amined the moisture which covered it, He found three of the parasite:, only one of 'whieh was alive, They were similar, in all ‘respects. to those found ia the fluid taken |from the breast. He then dissected the | tibialis arteris musele of the ley, inclading a | Small portion of the surrounding flesh. The /muscle presented a granular appearance, as |if covered with grains of sand. These |grains the doctor assumes were parasites. | He says that in all his experience nothing | like it ever came under his notic>. The in. vestigations were conducted by Dr. Clark, | assisted by Dr- Tyrrell, and neither of them, nor any of the faculty who have been tak- jea their opinion, are able to explain ahe | presence of what they regard as parasiticel |phenomena, Further examination of the | mascle will be made, and it is expected that some light will be shed upon what is now a mystery. Dr. Clark thinks that the parasites |hastened death, if they were not (he im- |mediate cause. While some of the symptome of typhoid remained to the end, they were | aggravated —the pains and soreness and throb | bing especially—and death came sooner and | more suddenly than in cases of unmistakable ityphoid. The baby bad been pining fo some time before his mother took sick, bar ag#ocn as he was weaned he recovered hit health, and is now more robust than evers Lie was not weaned until bis mother was confined to her bed. The doctor reports that he examised the child’s blood, which wag per- fectly healthy. No theory has been found as to the cause of the parasites, and the ski:| and knowledge of the physicians seem to be entirely atfault. The patient had not eaten pork, or anything that was known to be in- fected in any way. The case is almost an isolated one, Typhoid has been very pre- valent h re for some time past, but, with the exception of two or perbaps three vases, no symptoms have. been developed similar to those desevibed, and in the exception nothing positive has been seen. The case bas ex- cited the people ia no small degree. They ot trichine in their.minde and # panic had gun. and would have grown end continued but for the assurances of the physicians that there was no reason for alarm on that ao- count, Whithal, the uneasiness is not entire- ly dispelled, and further developments are awaited with much anxiety. re Tue CuBpan ReBet.jon,—It seems probable that the commencement of the new King ot on reign will be marked by the terwination of the long protracted rebellion in Cuba. - The King is said to have uffered the followi.,2 coadi- tions:

SEEKING FOOD ON THE BATTLE. | FIELD —THE NEED OF FUEL,

The Landon Times correspondent st Versail- les, io a letter of the 7th ult.. says; “A calm after the storm. The snow falling softly. Not a sound the broad avenues of the city of Ver- sailles. The waggons and carts of many convoys passing alung the paved streets make no noise on the stones The forta are silent, Like some wild beast encaged, poor Paris has her fits uf fury and of dejected, moody slence—perebance reposs which cannot bring ber comfort or atrength-—the sleep of a wounded man who is tormented in bis dreams. There were last night some out-bursts frem the foria but in my morn- ing walk towari Ville de'Avray I heard only the pop-popping vf the outposts accoss the Svine, whieh put nie in mind very much of what must be going on now by many a covertside these frosty mornings across the Channel, And this cold will bring wisery unutterabie on the Paris ians, among whom there was po great store of wood, as they had not laid in their winter pro- vision of fuel, If complaints were beard a menth ago what will théy be now? The plagues which desolate armies and are nursed by famine have every scope in beleagured cities, Small pox, typhus, hunger—a fearful sisterhood to be dwellers in your walls—and an enemy relentless at your gates, . For me, I confess, the sight of Paris now is heart-breaking Will no one force her will and make her pale lips breath forth the word which can save her,—* Peace. "’

A little incident which I heard yesterday much affected me.‘ When the French field batteries advanced in tront of Oreteil—and I see an erroneous opinion has been expressed in Eng- land that the eolumns did not advance beyond the cover of the guns of the forts, whereas some of the places pamed as positions occupied by the French are out of fire—they were exposed to galling returns from guns inside the Prueeian field works, under which the battery-horses dropped on all sides’ ‘The French held their own gallantly, and from time to time, as a horse went down, a group of men woul gatber round him, regardiees of shell and bullet, and then dis- perse to return to their pieces. No one could make out what they did, but the officers and men inside the Prussian villages saw this happen over and over again, Whea they pushed out their skirmishers te feel the way toward the enemy or the retreat of the French inside the walls the mystery was cleared up. The skeletons only of the horses were left; the heads even in some cases were gune, The carcasses were disew- bowled, and all the flesh carted away. They cou'd not affurd to lose an ounce of that preeious fued, and some, vo doubt. were killed in obtain- ing it, This cold weather completes the work of ruin. Ifany happy home bad a door left or a table or chair iu the wrecked villages, it has gone now in the flames of many watch fires and camp kitehens, An amateur told me that nothing burned ae well as piano wood, and that he had no idea of its value, having never had an oppor- tunity of testing the property before, I hear the ariny betore Orleans suffered greatly from cold in spite of the warmth afforded by burning villages and far-houses and what must it have been for the wounded ut in the fields? Death after torture! The condition of France in the next year promises to be, if pesetble worse than its present state. Here we are eating all the cows, so there will be no calvea in 1871, and every- body is so buisy killing and eating and eating and killing that there is no thought ef the mor- row, Sucking pigs, lambs, sheep, calves, chickens, ducklings, goslings, ail die almost as sovn as they show signs of life.

LO83 OF A MAINE VESSEL WITH THE CAPTALN’S WIFE AND PART OF CREW.

The British ship Euxine, Capt. Owens,from Liverpool, reached this port on Sanday, hav- ing on board a portion of the crew of schooner Georgia ‘Todd, of Calais, Main. We !earn the following particular from the captain of the unfortunate vessel, ‘The schooner Geor- gia Todd, of Calais, Captain W. T- Hill, sail ed from St, Stephens, N. B., Dec. 15, with a eargo of white pind boards, bound to Havana, and at 5 p.m., on that day she was nearly up with Machias, Seal Islands bearing about south. The wind was northwest, and increas- ed, with a heavy headsea. At6pm., the vessel pitching heavily, it was found necessary to take in more sail, which was done, and the vessel was kept off S.S. W. [tt was noticed that the schooner acted strangely, and would not steer well even under all head suil but as she was alittle out of trim, it was attributed to thatcause. At 830 p.m., Seal Islands bearing N. N. EB. 15 miles, 1t was suddenly found tkat the vessel was nearly full of water, and filling so quickly that the captain had barely time to get hia wife out of the cabin in ber night clothes, not being able to save a single artie'e of wearing apperal. ‘The wind at this time had changed to N. N. W., blow- ing a gale. The vessel's cause ‘was turned to the southward, She went on very well for | three hours, or uatil about midnight, when she broached to, and turning over on her side, threw al hands in:o the sea. The first and) second mates, the steward and the captain's wife were alidrowned. The remainder re- gained the wreck, and after mueh troub!e suc- ceeded in cutting the weather main rigging, when the vessel righted,and the survivors took refuge on the quarter and remained there suf- fering terribly from the cold until Sunday afternoon, the 18th.

Fortunately during the day the British schooner Victoria hove ia sight, and at once made an effort to save the lives of the perish- ing men, a!though this vessel was also disable- ed and in 4 very leaky condition, They suc- ceeded, however, in getting two of them off the wreck, but ia coming alongside the vessel their boat was steve jn and rendered useless, which accident prevented their return for the other two men still remaining on the wreck, Beipg determined to save them if possible they lay by all night, hoping to get the sea- men safejy off inthe morning. But at:day- light on the 19th, a ship was disgovered to leeward;'which proved to be the Kuxine, from Liverpool for Boston, and as the Victoria was in steh poor condition as to be considered hardly seaworthy, the two rescued seamen were transterred to her. Captain Owens of the Kuxine, after hearing the story of the shipwreck,immediately made sail and stood for the Georgia Todd, trusting to be in time to save the rest ofthe crew Oncoming up with the wreck the men were found to be atill alive.

Interesting Notices or tus Manitine Proviners, SPRCOLATION a8 TO THE Ocean Travel oF Toe Poruns.

The Main and Massachusetts papers are in- dulzing in some personage 1 sana” in re= gard to the completion of Western Extension, its effect on the conntries traversed, and on ocean travel. We make an extract from an article in the Bostsn Journal :—

The grand forests, the ngblée rivers, and waterfalls, and the various hunting and fish- ing grounds of Maine, New Branswick and Nova Scotia, and of the Islands of Cape Breton, Prince Edward aud .Newfou:.diand, will, when railroads reach over and towards them, draw thousands of pleasure and “health seeking travellers to salubrious and invigorat- ing scenes Gf novelty apd recreation, | The wonderful phenomena of the tides ; the beauti- ful shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrenee aud the northern Atlantic; th? two great waterfalls of the St. John; the fertile intervals of that river, the Kennebecasis, and the Annapolis; the wide spread sait marsnes of Horton and Grand Pre, the clussic abode of the Acadians, diked in from the sea,and bearing crops with- out ploughing Or manering for hundreds of years, as smooth as a floor, and miles in width—that of Tantramar, 13 miles ; the one, single heaped up, in-setting tidal wave of the Petitcodiae, rushing w.th a roar like that of Niagara ; aud other remarkable spectacles and objects, too many to be named or number- ed, will reward visitors from afar, Temporary residences during the pleasant months of the

ear, for the wealthy from all parts of the Caleai will perbaps time the beaches of Shediac, avd the gulf shore to the Miramichi, rendared especially attractive by rich beds of native oysters, and salmon fresh from inlets. — from its inexhaustible abundance all along the coast, the cheapest a8 well as the most deli- cious of all kinds of food. Within five or six days of Europe, a summer emigration from the Old World may find health-inspiring and exhiliraiing abodes in these juteresting re- gions of the west.

TRAVELS AND TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM EUROPE,

This leads to a view of the importance of the Kuropeon & North American Railway, that hag a national and world-wide interest. At the close of the next season, when the two re- maining links of the chain from Bangor to ‘lalifax are compieted, there will be a con- tinuous railroad bed from the latter point to San Francises. Travelers and freight, with- out interruption and probably without change of cars, will pass from the Pacific to the ex- treme northeastern limit of America the most perious part of the present trans-Atlantic voyage, uamely, from Halifax to New York to Boston, will be avoided. The distance from Halifax to Galway is not quite 2,200 miles,— the time of passage on this route, therefore, will be reduced two days,

But it is more than probable that ultimately the railroad will find its continental! terminus and port of trans-Atlantic departure, not at Halifax but at Canso, in the strait of that name, separating Nova Seotia from Cape Breton. This would save considerable dis- tauce, both on the land and ocean routs. Bat a still greater reduction of the ocean passage may be accomplished. At Canso the strait is only a mile wide. A track may be laid over the length of Cape Bretun to Cape North. From that point to Cape Ray, the southern extremity of Newfoundland, is less than fifty miles, A continuous track over that island might be laid to Trimity Bay. It would be a pleasant relief to the traveler to shift from the constraints of a car to the decks of a steamer for half an hour in crossing to Cape Briton and less than three hours in crossing trom Cape Briton to Newfoundland. From Trinity Bay to Galway Bay is but 1700 miles, taking but half the time now occupied by a steam voyage across the Atlantic, and there is ab- solutely nothing to interrupt or embarrass the passage from shore to shore, mo coust on either side, no reefs, no sand bars, no shal- low bunks. ‘The steamers would pursue a straight line from wharf to wharf. It is im- | possible to imagine on vcean vcyage more free from dangers, cr more securely or easily navigable. Tue period consumed in the trip would be uniform, and as calculable and re- liable as by the time tables of railroad. <2 +00

Snockinc Case or Svicipe. — Franz Joseph Hubert Mchren, a native of Alexla- Chapelle, Steward of the Halifax Club, com- mitted suicide on Sunday morning in a most determined manner, About quarter past nine o’clock Suuday morning, one of the servants who was in the cellar, heard a noise in the rear as of something falling He went out and found Mr. Mohren lying on the ground. He had apparently jumped from the window of his room in the third storey and brcken a ladder in his fali, He was carried into the house, still living, Dr. Almon, who arrived in a few minutes, examined him and found three wounds on his body and one on his wrist, One was in the region of the heart and two inthe abdoman. He was almost! speechless and only uttered *Priest ! Priest!” A priest was sent for, but before he arrived the unfortunate man was dead, having only lived fifteen minutes after he was picked up On his bed was found a spring-back knife, and. the clothes were saturated with blood, some of it dry, showing thut he must have stabbed himself during the night, bled pro- fusely, and in the morning threw himself from the window, An inquest was commenced by Coroner Jennings on Sunday aud resumed yesterday, The facws above given were detail- ed by the wi:nesses, and Dr, Almen gave itas his opinion that the immediate cause of death was the fall, though the wounds inflicted by the knife would ultimately have resulted in death. The jury after hearing evidence re- turned the following: verdict:

“That the deceased, Franz Joseph Hubert Mohren, came to his death on the morning of Sunday the 25th of December 1870, by the effects of a fall from one of the upper win- dows on the western side of the Halifax Club House and wounds premediately inflicted by himself whilst laboring under temporary in- sanity,”

OPENING OF THE NEW WESLEYAN DAY SCHYOL.

Tats [nstitutior, which reflects very great eredit upon the denomination whose name it bears, and is also an orifament and an honor to our City, was opencd on Monday last with suitable devotional and dedicatory services. The spacious Lecture-Room was crowded with an audience including many of the elite of the City. The Rev. George 8, Milligan, A. M., Ex-officio Member of the Board ‘of Trustees, and Chairman of the P. E, Island Distriet, presided,

The exercises were commenced by the sing- ing of an appropriate Hymn. Rev. D. Fitz- Gerald, A, B. T. C., Reetor of St. Patl’s, read select Scriptures, after whica Rev. John Davis (Baptist) engaged in prayer. ‘The Chairman (Kev, Mr. Milligan), in.a short but animated address, intimated that the object of the meeting might be said to be: two-fold. The Trustees wished to afford an opportunity to all who bad contributed, directly or indi- rectly, towarde the erection and equipment of the Wesleyan Day School, to come and judge for themselves touching what had alread been accomplished by those on whom had de- volved the responsibility of earrying forward the work, towards the establishment of an Tustitution which would be quite up to the de- mands of the times, having all necessary nieans of instruction and such facilities us modern appliances and apparatus furnish for imparting sn education which would be Jiber- al in its provisio. 8, thorough in its cheracter, |

ples, without coming into collision with deno- | minatioual predilections, or—to- use an ex- | pression which he thought to be generally too | invidg-s—sectarian prejudice.. Such an in- spection, the Trustees felt assured, would nct diminish the confidence which the public had already reposed in them, but.‘on the contrary, tend to strengthen and extend that confidence.

He trusted results wouid prove that the gen- erous patronage and support extended to those upon whem devolved the management of the schocl were not misplaced, and that, in due time, anything that might appear de- fective might be perfected, and the Institu- tion rendered in every respect worthy of the age in which we hve, Another object eon- templated by the Trastees was one, he ven tured to believe, the audience won!d agree with him in thinking still more important, namely, the dedication of the Institution to God, 41n the interests of Christian Education, and to commend by earnest prayer, the Board of Instruction and their work to the Divine favor and biessing. From the very inception of that educational enterprise its founders felt that except the Lord approved the plan, the best concerted schemes were vain; and they felt it their duty to recognize their obligetion to the Mos. High for the favor bestowed, not ouly by their own people, but by Protestants generally. The recent Bazaar afforded ample evidence and tangible proof that from His Honor the Lieut, Governor downward, the general public evincea a deep interest in the work; and, trusting to the Divine blessing, he hoped the Institution would prove worthy | ot public patronage, Taoere was no imposing ritual of dedication, he said, in which he could ask the audience to take a part; but he would call upon them all to unite in the net less im-

rtant exercises of sincere and earnest pray- ! er, that the Wesleyan Day School, now open- ed, might confer great and lasting benefits upon all who should attend its halls of instruc- tion. He regretted that the Principal ot the Institution was not present, ‘o Jay before that intelligeat audience the leading features of the educational system which, in that school, would be diiigently carried out; but he was gratified to be able to inform his hearers that @ gentleman in Canada West, of first-class at- tainments and bighly recommenced by the Rev. Dr. Taylor and Dr, Ryerson, had been engaged to take charge of the Institution, and whose arrival here might be expected very shortly. In concluding his remarks, he ven- tured to say that the education to be impart- ed in that school would be of a character to confer lasting benefits on its recipients, and rove an hcnor to its prumoters,
