When a respectable practitioner cists such an imputation upon a member of his own professional school he should be pretty confident of his ability to prove it, and the accuser in tho present instance was not un aware of his imperative obligation to substantiate his accusation. But how was that to be done? Ho had lirmly maintained that the disease in question was caused by a tumor, and that the removal ot the same by an opera lion would save the pa tient's life. 11 is rival insUted that j there was no tumor, and, conse quently, did not perform the ope ration. Now, how was it to be practically demonstrated that the tumor did i ..i.-t, if the patient was in his grave.' There was but one way of doing that, and the doctor adopted it. On Christmas Eve, near midnight, when lights hone brightly from homes lar and at hand, and the snow lay crisply on the ground, the professional disputant whose truth and standing were at stake, as he consiuerea, in me matter, toot a confidential shidento hia ith him in a sleigh to the graveyaru where had been placed the hapless subject of dispute, and rapidly and quietly disinterred the poor body and placed it in the vehicle. The whip was given to the horse, and away started the sleigh on the snowy road back to the surgery. But scarcely had the desecrators of man's last resting-place got un derway with their ghastly prize, when tiie mufiled beat of horse's hoofs somewhere in the darkness behind them told that they had been watched and were being pur sued. Sharper fell the whip, and the spirited young animal before the sleigh went like the wind ; yet still the pursuing hoof-beats sound ed through the keen air, showing that the pursuer was well mounted. Turning froai the main-road into a by-way, or short-cut, leading through a swampy piece of woods, the fugitives managed to gain enough distance to stop the sleigh a moment just at the edge of a p ank bridge over a frozen wood and stream, and stretch a rope across the dark and narrow road. This done, they were off again for the surgery close at hand, with the gal lop of the pursuer coming sharply again to their ears. Pausing once i'.gain lieyond the bridge, to hear - presently'the collision of tho com ing horseman with the unseen rope, a crash, and a cry of wrath, the two men carried the body to the house and triumphantly deposited it upon a dissecting table.

In other words, the supposed dead man, whose disinterment had oc curred but a few hours after burial, had been only insensible instead ot dead, and the removal of the tu morous pressure on his bramjvas just in time to save his life. And another strange discovery was, that on the same Christmas night, the doctor who bad denied the tumor had broken his arm by falling from his horse!

The people are affirmed to be law-abidding, indus trious, thrifty, and frugal hospit able and generous : conservative in financial affairs; slow to contract debts, and willing to make sacri fices to pay them. It is further urged that since the adoption of the Federal Constitution fifteen new States have been admitted, each having a population of less than 83,000 and one of the number less than 3.5,000, while the average of the whole fifteen was about G2.000.
