Wis the "Nebular Hypothesis," a theory
advanced by Laplace, which supposes
the gradual formation of planets from
nebulous matter. Mr. Martin has de-
... i
voted much time and research to astro-
nomical science, I as was manifested by
the scholarly and familiar manner with
which he treated his subject. Astrono

sciences, and one which but few speak

Varioloid 5oi Small Tox.
Yesterday morning it was reported
that there was a case of small pox on
board, the brig Cora Green, lying in
tho stream opposite Messrs. Kidder Sc
Son's mill. Drs. Walker, Wood and
Schonwald,Jr., were promptly sent down
by Mayor Smith to investigate the
matter and thev rcuorted it as a case Ot
varioloid. The vessel was at once order
ed down to the quarantine ground and
the patient taken to the hospital.
Various conflicting and exaggerated
rumors have been in circulation relative
to this case, during the day, but these
are the facts as fiurnished us by Mayor
Smith, and we gladly give them to tho
public in order to allay any alarm which
may have arisen in the matter. The
Mayor alsoiaforms us that the brig
will be kept at the quarantine ground
until all danger has passed.
Dr. Schonwald, Jr., i3 treating the
case at the hospital, and he reports to
day that the patient- is improving and
his case is progressing as well as could
be expected.

I For the Review
Mr. Norwood Giles,
M e. Editob :
The retirement of Mr. Norwood Giles
rom the position he has held so long
and so acceptably, as Commissioner of
he fcinsinjr Lund and Chairman of the
Board of Audit and Finance, was learned
with real regret by his many friends,
notwithstanding the fact that his sue
cesaor, iir. R. J. Jor.es, is in every way
worthy to wear the mantie. Mr. Giles,
although a young man, is, in my humble
opinion, one of the best business men in
the State. He has been; able, active,
zealous and conscientious in the discharge
of his public duties, and he and his
Board have stood as a bulwark against
anything like extravagance of expendi
ture' m city ailairs. 1 he tax payers
owe mm a meed ot gratuuuo. Let us
render it to him. I M.

William J. Coughlin of Somerville
Mass., says; In the fall of 1876 I was
taken with bleeding of the lungs follow
ed by a severe cough. I lost my appe
tite and flesh, and I was confined to my
bed. Ia 1877 1 was admitted to the
Hospital. The doctors said I had a
hole in my lung as big as a half dollar.
At one timo a report went around that
I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend
told me of Dr. William Hall's j Balsam
for the Lungs. I got a bottle, when to my
surprise, I commenced to feel better, and
to-day I feel better than for three years
past. - i .
